The Doram race
The Doram are a playable cat race from Pasta, a continent across the ocean from Rune-Midgarts. A Doram character starts directly as a Summoner, with no job change quest, and begins in the seaport village of Lasagna instead of Izlude. Doram can only follow the Summoner line; Human characters use the other classes.
Doram count as their own race: they are generally affected by Human and Brute modifiers but not by Demi-Human ones (see Races and Gender). New Dorams can take a series of introduction quests with the Vigilante Corporation around Lasagna and the Ravioli Fields, which teach the class and hand out starting gear; they can be skipped if another character warps the Summoner to Rune-Midgarts.
The three skill paths
Every Summoner has basic skills such as Bite (200% damage), Scratch (up to 200% with a chance of bleeding), Hide (hide in bushes), Lope (leap to a spot), Stoop (90% less damage taken for 6 seconds), Sprite Marble (+1000 HP and +100 SP) and Soul Attack (normal attacks become ranged). Skill points are plentiful, so most players take one attack path and add early healing and buffs from the Seafood path.
| Path | Role | Key skills before Base 100 | Suggested stats at Base 99 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Animal (Power of Life) | Ranged physical, based on STR | Lunatic Carrot Beat (area), Picky Peck (single target), Arclouse Dash | STR 90, DEX 90, VIT 50 |
| Plant (Power of Land) | Magic, based on INT | Catnip Meteor (area), Silvervine Stem Spear (Earth, Fire, Water, Wind or Ghost by level), Silvervine Root Twist | INT 90, DEX 90, VIT 50 |
| Seafood (Power of Sea) | Support and healing | Tuna Belly (heals 10–90% of Max HP), Tuna Party (shield), Bunch of Shrimp (+10% ATK and MATK for the party), Fresh Shrimp | VIT 90, INT 90, DEX 50 |
Advanced Summoner (Base 100)
At Base Level 100 the spirits turn every Summoner into an Advanced Summoner automatically, with no quest; the game still calls the class Summoner. This unlocks the bottom of the skill tree: Spirit of Sea (Grooming, Purring, Tasty Shrimp Party), Spirit of Land (Chattering, Meow Meow, Nyang Grass) and Spirit of Life (Hiss, Power of Flock, Spirit of Savage). Many Doram-only items also open up from this level.
Spirit Handler
At level 200 a Summoner can start the Spirit Handler change at the request board in Payon. Spirit Handlers level up to 260/55 like the fourth classes and get talent bonuses. Their three branches are tied to mystical creatures: Chulho the tiger (physical), Kisul the healing turtle (support) and Hyunrok the magic deer. The new area attacks cover 11×11 cells, and they do not depend on the old Summoner skills, so players can reset and skip those.
| Creature | Skills |
|---|---|
| Chulho (animal) | Chulho Sonic Claw (fast single target), Howling of Chulho (area), Hogogong Strike (only on enemies in Hogogong fear), Commune with Chulho |
| Kisul (seafood) | Marine Festival and Sandy Festival of Kisul (buffs), Kisul Rampage, Kisul Water Spraying, Blessing of Mystical Creatures, Commune with Kisul |
| Hyunrok (plant) | Hyunrok Breeze (area, much stronger than Catnip Meteor), Hyunrok Cannon (single target), Colors of Hyunrok (adds an element), Commune with Hyunrok |
