There are nine character classes in Shartak, 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.

Native classes

Natives are the original inhabitants of Shartak. They dwell in three villages deep in the jungle: Dalpok, Raktam, and Wiksik. All natives can understand one another and use items such as blowpipes and healing herbs by default.

Outsider classes

Outsiders are newcomers to Shartak. They have established coastal settlements at Derby, Durham, and York. A group of pirates have also begun to roam the island, using their shipwreck as their camp. All outsiders can understand one another and use items such as rifles, GPS units and first aid kits by default.
