A class refers to a person's profession or vocation, and determines the type of [[Skills]] received through levelling. Classes can be obtained through performing actions associated with the class, seen with [[Erin Solstice]] who obtained the [Innkeeper] class after cleaning up an abandoned inn, or by other individuals with the authority to do so, like an [[Laken Godart|[Emperor]]] giving [[Wiskeria|someone]] the [General] class.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/03/27/4-23-e/ 4.23 E – The Wandering Inn]</ref> 

In the present day, the majority of people reach Level 20 in at least one class over the course of their lives. Fewer individuals manage to reach Level 30, with a handful in each town and up to a few dozen in a city. Level 40 is regarded as a true mark of accomplishment. People who are Level 50 are world-famous national assets .<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/04/2-34/ Chapter 2.41]</ref> Individuals who achieve Level 60 are considered capable of shaking the world.<ref name=":6.11">[https://wanderinginn.com/2019/04/27/6-11/ Chapter 6.11]</ref>

There is a hierarchy among classes. In the case of classes that are able to influence people, the best ones are capable of influencing even entire kingdoms; among those are royal classes, such as [King], [Queen], [Princess], etc.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/10/14/3-23-l/ Chapter 3.23 L]</ref>

Classes are based on what a person pursues. In Erin's case, as she considered chess only as a game, she did not receive the [Tactician] class. Furthermore, Skills and classes reflect a person's passions. For instance, [[Pisces Jealnet]] is a [Necromancer] who is fascinated by and studies bones; as such, he only has bone-related Skills, and does not possess any Skills for zombies or Draug. 

Every class has unique 'pools' to draw from, such as <Religion> classes drawing from faith for [[Miracles]] instead of mana for [[Spells]].<ref name=":0" /> 

Classes tagged with <Religion> have some unique privileges within the system. They are protected from [Appraisal], and can hear the levelling announcement while awake. Also, levels, Skills, and spells are awarded by their [[Dead Gods|deity]] instead of the Grand Design, if there is an entity meeting the requirements.<ref name=":0" />
