Archaelund Careers All by Type by Category


Instead of traditional character classes Archaelund uses the concept of careers. The difference is that you stay in a career for certain levels, but eventually switch to a different one during the course of the game. For example, you may start as an Apprentice, later on becoming a Mage, but decide to not pursue magic anymore with that character and switch to Mercenary, ending up as an interesting hybrid character. In total there will be around 60 careers in Archaelund, half of them basic and the other half advanced (i.e. they have requisites).

This page lists all available careers sorted by type.

Basic Careers

Basic Careers are the starting point for any character and can be chosen at the beginning of the game (as long as the character meets the corresponding requirements).
