Subclasses

Elder Tale features different subclasses that players may choose from. While classes, one chosen, cannot be changed, subclasses do not have this restriction, making it possible for players to change their subclass provided that they are willing to lose experience points and start over. It should be noted that experience points for subclasses are independent from those of the major classes and are relatively easy to acquire.

Subclasses can be divided into three types namely: Production, Role-Playing and Titles.

Production Subclasses
Production Subclasses are classes with the ability to create and craft items. There are many players who instead of fighting monsters and exploring dungeons, prefer to create and craft items to aid their comrades. Many guilds dedicate themselves to producing items and are important pillars of Elder Tale's economy.

After the Novasphere Pioneers update, items that were unavailable in the game prior to the update can be created by players with appropriate subclasses and with high enough levels.

Role-Playing Subclasses
Instead of creating and crafting weapons, players may choose role-playing subclasses. These subclasses come in a variety of choices. Some are known to give additional stats or other benefits while others are mostly for fun and are considered joke or gimmick subclasses.

Titles
Titles are a special type of subclass that can only be unlocked by players after completing a specific task or equipment. Some are considered legendary due to the limited amount of players who can acquire them and have already been acquired by famous players since the start of the game. They are known to grant abilities that will benefit players in and out of battle.
