ThiefLUK · Fast and evasiveIs There 3rd Job in MapleStory Classic World? Not Yet. Here's What Nexon Has Said
No. MapleStory Classic World launched with only 1st job (level 10) and 2nd job (level 30). 3rd job was playable in the second Closed Online Test, but Nexon pulled it, together with Orbis and El Nath, to rework it before release. There's no date yet.
Quick answer: no 3rd job at launch. It was tested at level 70 in El Nath during COT #2 (August 2026). Nexon says it will come back "gradually" after a rework, with no date. Until then, everyone plays 2nd job up to the level 100 cap.
What happened to 3rd job
Here's the timeline, all from Nexon's own posts:
| When | What Nexon said |
|---|---|
| COT #2, August 2026 | 1st, 2nd and 3rd job available at levels 10, 30 and 70. Testers could set a character to level 100 by talking to the job instructors at the Chief's Residence in El Nath, to try 3rd job skills. |
| August 21, 2026 (Ossyria Exploration Report) | Orbis, El Nath and 3rd job "will not be part of the initial launch content". Nexon wants to rework the content structure and progression flow based on tester feedback, then bring it in gradually. |
| October 2, 2026 (Inkwell interview) | Content such as 3rd job "may be introduced sequentially where it makes sense". Classic World won't follow the original update order one-to-one. |
| October 21, 2026 (Grand Launch) | Release notes list 1st and 2nd job only, with a cap of level 100. |
So the 3rd job you might have seen in beta footage was a test build. Nexon has been clear that what comes back won't necessarily be the same.
What the Fest panel added
Nexon's dev panel at MapleStory Fest on October 17 went into the roadmap. Nexon hasn't posted a written recap, so this part comes from a community recap of the stream:
- Ossyria and 3rd job still have no date.
- The team wants to refine every 3rd job without losing what makes each one unique.
- A 3rd job test server is planned for early next year, so players can give feedback again before it goes live.
Treat these as reported, not confirmed, until Nexon writes them up.
What this means for your character
- 2nd job is your endgame for now. Pick your path at level 30 with that in mind. See job advancement guide.
- Don't plan AP or SP around 3rd job skills yet. The skills tested in COT #2 may change in the rework.
- There's still a long road. The cap is 100, and the EXP curve gets very steep at 90. See what is the level cap.
- Before 3rd job, other content comes first. Nexon says Forgotten Hollow, a new area made for Classic World, opens in November.
What about 4th job?
It was never part of the Classic World tests. COT #2 covered 1st to 3rd job only, and community databases say the launch client has no 4th job advancement.
