Dragon Nest

Dragon Nest incorporates non-targeting system gameplay to create a fast paced action filled experience. Players choose from a range of hero classes, characters that are of the Dragon Nest storyline that can equip customizable gear and weapons. Devastating skills can also be learned, to increase one's power when defeating monsters in instanced dungeons or defeating other players in PVP.

Dragon Nest also has the advantage of being nearly completely skill based, with lower level characters being able to defeat high level characters in PVP with skill alone. This allows a more experienced player that is of a lower level to dominate a less experienced player of a higher level player in PVP.

Classes

Dragon Nest characters exist in worlds. Players can create up to 4 characters per world. These characters cannot interact with one another, with the exception of mailing each other. Players can have 6 choices when creating a character. They are Warrior, Archer, Sorceress, Cleric, Academic (Tinkerer in NA version) and Kali. The Academic and Kali classes are not yet available in some releases. The Warrior, Archer and Kali class start their journey in Prairie Town (Ironwood Village in NA Version), while the Cleric, Sorceress and Academic classes start their journey in Mana Ridge. After reaching level 15, they can choose to advance to second class, and third class at level 45. At these job advancements, they can choose to further specialize in one aspect of their skill sets.

These class advances, or specializations, are: the Warrior can specialize to a Swordmaster (Swordsman in NA version) or Mercenary, Archers to Acrobats and Bowmaster (Sharpshooter in NA version), Sorceresses to Elemental Lord or Force User (Elementalist or Mystic in NA version), Clerics to Paladins or Priests, and finally, Academics/Tinkerers to Alchemists and Engineers.

Players can further advance off of the said sub-classes. These second specialization are: Swordmasters to Gladiator or Moonlord (Lunar Knight in NA version), Mercenaries to Barbarian (Berserker in cDN version) or Destroyer, Acrobats to Windwalker or Tempest, Bowmasters to Sniper or Artillery (Warden in NA version), Elemental Lords to Saleana or Elestra (Pyromancer or Ice Witch in NA version), Force Users to Majesty or Smasher (Chaos Mage or War Mage in NA version), Paladins to Crusader or Guardian, Priests to Saints or Inquisitors, Alchemists to Physician or Adept, and Engineers to Gear Masters or Shooting Stars.
