The Novice is the starting point for all Human characters in Ragnarok Landverse. When you create a new character, you may choose from different Hairstyles and Hair colors. Novices do not incur any EXP penalty upon death, and regain 50% HP when respawning. Once Job Level 10, Novices  can change into one of the following First Classes:

* [Swordman](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/swordman.md)
* [Magician](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/magician.md)
* [Archer](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/archer.md)
* [Merchant](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/merchant.md)
* [Thief](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/thief.md)
* [Acolyte](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/acolyte.md)

Alternatively, they can choose to become one of the Expanded Classes:

* [Super Novice](/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/game-guide/novice-in-game-guide/job-classes/novice/super-novice.md) (Base Level 45 required)
