Commander (1.1) Adventurer Class

Some come from the ranks of nobles, some from the common soldier that has experienced years of combat. These players are the backbone of any standing army.

Playing the Commander

Commanders have medium defense, a good selection of weapons to choose from and some good advanced abilities. The true benefit of the Commander is to gain royal rank and to aid others in battle. If you would like a character that is a leader of a combat unit or likes helping others perform better in combat then this is the class for you. The Commander often has a need to know the terrain and land of an area, this gives them access to Nature scrolls at higher levels.
