Samurai/Variations

As the Samurai class is Japan's (the Yamato server's) localized class, other servers in Elder Tale invariably have different versions of the class.

Pirate
The "standard" class, the Pirate class is native to the North American server and replaces the Samurai class on any server that does not have its own localized version.
 * Servers: North America, South/Central America, Southeast Asia, India, Africa, Oceania

A Warrior class based on the pirate. Sabers, daggers, and rope/grapples are the tools a pirate uses to wage war, but its usable armor is greatly restricted.

Similar to the Samurai class, they are frontline fighters that use special skills to overcome its low defense. A pirate's sense of balance is nurtured from fighting aboard ships, making them resistant to movement-inhibiting effects, and they can make clever attacks with the use of hooks and rope/grappling hook.

There were many players from the North American server, as well as the South American server, that became much friendlier to one another as marine-related quests were added to the American continents' servers.

Hwarang

 * Server: Korea

Warrior class that bears the name of the legendary martial arts group. It especially excels in the use of one-handed weapons like the long bladed ring pommel sword, a straight sword with no curve.

Shields cannot be equipped, but the class can mitigate high damage by parrying. It is a special skill with high potency that can draw the opponent’s Hate, but its long cooldown makes it hard to manage, so only strong tanks are ones who can use it effectively.

The beautiful graphics that have been added over the years for the Hwarang's exclusive equipment, such as its ornate armors and jeweled sheaths, have become somewhat famous.

Youxia

 * Server: China

Warrior class that has been carefully trained to wield martial arts for the benefit of others. Similar to the Samurai, there are equipment limitations: jian, dao, qiang, axes, and pikes can be used. The stances and skills are believed to be from another game based solely around martial arts.

Because the class has so many exclusive armors and weapons, there are many fans. Because Chinese server implemented a system allowing any person to register [one name], large numbers of players from both inside and outside the server compete to be the first to capture names.
