If you’re jumping into Remember of Magestes (ROM: Golden Age) and want to choose the best class without spending money, this guide will break down the top Free-to-Play (F2P) options, their strengths, and which ones give you the best start.
The game officially launches tonight at 3 AM, but early recruitment for guilds and communities is already happening—so be ready to grab your spot in Discord or live streams if you want a head start.
ROM Golden Age Tier List – Best Classes Guide 2025
Class Structure in ROM
ROM: Golden Age has three main base classes, each with two specialisations, giving a total of nine classes:
- Mage Line: Magician → Wizard → Healer/Debuffer variants
- Warrior Line: Knight → Defender → Berserker
- Ranger Line: Ranger → Hunter → Rogue-style thrower
For this tier list, we’ll judge them based on their base class performance for F2P players.
Tier Rankings for Free-to-Play Players
Mage – Tier B
Playstyle: Mid-range magic damage, support healing, and debuffs.
Pros: Versatile — can heal allies, apply debuffs, and deal damage. Gets stronger in late game (Lv. 55–60) when AoE spells unlock.
Cons: Early game damage is weaker than the Ranger. Expensive to gear up well, especially without spending money.
Verdict: Fun for those who enjoy magic, but not the strongest F2P choice early on. Works better if you plan to stick around for late game progression.
Warrior – Tier S (With Caveats)
Playstyle: Close-range melee with tank or damage focus. Berserker has better gap closers for chasing enemies.
Pros: Can deal strong melee damage and has good survivability when geared.
Cons: Very gear-dependent — hard for F2P to keep competitive early on without spending. Early game farming is slower compared to ranged classes.
Verdict: Powerful in theory, but not beginner-friendly for F2P. If you’re new to MMORPGs, skip Warrior unless you really love melee combat and are ready for a grind.
Ranger – Tier S+
Playstyle: Long-range DPS with high mobility and kiting potential.
Pros: Dominates early game. Easy to farm, strong in PvP, excellent for map control (taking objectives, destroying towers, opening gates).
Cons: Extremely popular — expect most players to pick Ranger, meaning mirror matchups are common.
Verdict: The best F2P option by far. Strong from early to late game without heavy spending. If you want a competitive edge from day one, pick Ranger.
Final F2P Tier List
S+ Tier: Ranger (Best choice for all-around success)
S Tier: Warrior (Strong but costly for F2P)
B Tier: Mage (Late game potential but slow early growth)
Extra Tips for Free-to-Play Players
Start Early: Joining right at server launch gives you a big advantage in farming and trading.
Guild Support: Join an active guild early for bonuses, crafting help, and PvP backup.
Crafting Matters: You can craft weapons and gear instead of buying with real money — make use of it.
Don’t Expect to Beat Whales: The game has pay-to-win elements, so focus on efficiency and fun rather than outspending big spenders.
