Requiem Classes: The Turan and the Bartuk

The Requiem Class System

When you begin a character in Requiem, you must first choose their race. Each race has four exclusive classes available, so players must choose their race wisely with a plan as to their final class.

A beginning character will be a Temperion from levels 1-10; a Temperion is simply a basic class with no difference from any other race/class available. At level 10, a quest line will allow the character to progress into their first basic class. This class choice will determine the character’s final class choice at level 50. For example:

Bartuk (Race) -> Warrior or Shaman -> Warlord/Beserker (Warrior) or Forsaker/Mystic (Shaman)

An important note: In an upcoming update to Requiem, titled Memento Mori, characters will begin their first job choice at level 1, eliminating the Temperion class.
