Character classes on Shartak summarize the pre-conflict lives of the players on the island. There are nine classes, and each player must choose one when they begin playing. Each class is capable of having a similar game experience, but there are some differences in mechanics and abilities which lead to unique playing styles.
The classes have different HP limits, starting inventories, and skill opportunities. Players in all classes begin the game with 175 AP and regenerate one AP every 20 minutes. Scouts and explorers regenerate AP until they have 80, while 75 is the regeneration limit for all other players.
