Races

Overview

Ember Online features twelve playable races. Since these races were saved from the Old World, they may differ somewhat from any surviving natives of Ciruin.

Note: For the most current live data, players should consult the Official Race Helper.

Racial Mechanics

• Magic Resistance (MR): To benefit from a race's natural magic resistance, you must still invest in WIS.
• Stat Customization (+1): You can raise one stat +1 higher than the normal racial max. This costs 5 spendable points.
  • Exception: Humans, Half-Elves, and Fae have reduced costs or additional slots for this (see individual entries).
• Class Recommendations: These are popular choices based on stat synergy but are not strict rules.
