Warrior

Warrior is a physical frontline class with the strongest progression affinities in core melee weapons and shielding. It is the most straightforward pick for sword/axe/club weapon play, especially if you want defensive progression to keep pace.

Progression profile

Crafting and gathering

Every class can learn the main crafting and gathering skills: fishing, mining, lumberjacking, cooking, alchemy, and blacksmithing. Pick the ones that support your gear, food, potions, or economy goals.

How to build around Warrior

• Pick sword, axe, or club as your main weapon family if you want to lean into the class’s fastest weapon progression.
• Use shielding when survivability matters; Warrior is especially strong at defensive progression.
• Treat magic as an off-plan option. Warrior can use systems that require magic, but its magic progression affinity is the class’s weakest point.
• Distance combat is possible, but it is not where Warrior progresses fastest.

Good early goals

• Keep one primary melee skill focused instead of spreading SP between every weapon type.
• Train shielding naturally while using a shield.
• Watch weight and equipment upgrades, because frontline play usually means carrying heavier gear.
