Academy school
Class Academy
A directory for class learning — find your class, find the crew's guides, and know where to look next.
Thirteen classes, dozens of specializations, and entire theorycraft communities dedicated to each one. The Class Academy does not try to replace any of that — it is a directory: what the crew has written, what each class can do, and where the good external resources live.

Explore the School
The waters this School charts — concepts first, spreadsheets later.
Finding Your Class
Class choice is mostly taste. Pick the fantasy you enjoy; the crew can teach the rest.
Learning a Specialization
Specs define your job in a group — tank, healer, or damage. Swap freely while you learn.
Beyond the Academy
Every class has a dedicated community. When the crew's guides end, the class Discords begin.

Tank
Control the fight, protect the crew, and keep everything pointed away from the people wearing cloth.
Healer
Keep the crew standing when everything else is trying very hard to make that not happen.
DPS
More than making the meters glow — uptime, interrupts, defensives, movement, and priority damage.
Courses are suggestions, never prerequisites — sail whichever fits.
