There are many professions on Mystic Adventure. The differences between them are not always as great as you might think. In the beginning, there were the basic four: Fighter, Mage, Thief, and Cleric. Most of the available professions are mixes between two of them, a few are new. The pure professions are the more powerful, but more specialized.
It is hard to choose, but do not despair. It would be best if you choose a profession that fits your personality. If you are mischievous, pick a thief. If you are big and outspoken, pick a warrior. And so on...You can always start over again with a new character. The easiest type of characters for new mudders to play are perhaps the Fighters, as they depend almost exclusively on weapons. Mages on the other hand, have to use spells in order to survive. So, check out the information below, including the player reviews, and pick what looks fun. That's the whole point, of course.
