While spellcasting penalties from equipment are far more forgiving in Elin, warriors have terrible aptitudes for magic. Players who wish to seriously pursue magic as well should consider the priest, warmage or sword sage classes. | While spellcasting penalties from equipment are far more forgiving in Elin, warriors have terrible aptitudes for magic.

Warriors' excellent stats in strength and constitution, as well as weapon and defensive skills give them the most survival chances of any class early on, making them ideal for beginners while learning the basics. However, they will quickly become hindered by their reliance on melee attacks once enemies with reflective damage like hedgehogs and slimes, or ranged enemies with bows and magic start appearing. Thrown weapons are a warrior's choice of ranged attack, as damage from thrown weapons is partially dependent on strength which warriors have lots of. It's also a good idea for a warrior to pack potions, scrolls, rods, and of course, lots of bandages. | Warriors' excellent stats in strength and constitution, as well as weapon and defensive skills give them the most survival chances of any class early on, making them ideal for beginners while learning the basics.

Spellcasting as a warrior is somewhat more forgiving in Elin - there is no cap for spellcasting chance imposed by heavy armour, dual wielding, equipping a shield, and so on. While these impose penalties on spellcasting, the deficiencies can be fully mitigated by enough skill in casting and spell level. Warriors get access to the cut domain of spells, which is the only element to have strength as a governing stat. Even so, poor magic growth can restrict spellcasting by dint of a poor MP pool. Supplementary buffs like holy shield, speed, and attribution shield can help cover a warrior's weaknesses and are often rooted in will, which a warrior has some of. | Spellcasting as a warrior is somewhat more forgiving in Elin - there is no cap for spellcasting chance imposed by heavy armour, dual wielding, equipping a shield, and so on.
