In ''Ragnamex Hardcore'', your adventure begins in the deepest floor of Thanatos Tower, specifically on the map thana_boss. Upon logging in, you will start as a '''level 60/50 character''' with any class, but your first objective is to '''die''' — on purpose.
When you begin your journey in '''Ragnamex Hardcore''', you’ll find yourself in the map thana_boss, which is the final floor of Thanatos Tower. Here, you'll spawn as any class at max level (Base 60 / Job 50). To start the game properly, you'll need to find a boss monster roaming the area and let it kill you. Currently, the story behind this is under development by the server's developer, '''Triedge''', but for now, simply let yourself be defeated by the '''Dark Lord''' to proceed.

There is no standalone Rogue class.
 
All classes have access to a mix of skills:

Some 3rd and even 4th Job skills (limited for now)
 
Currently, only '''Sage''' has full access to all their extended skill trees. Other classes are still being balanced and currently only have their first row and column of advanced skills unlocked.

The skill point distribution system in Ragnamex Hardcore differs from the official server:
 
Many skills now have a reduced max level.
 
Example: '''Vulture’s Eye''' from the Hunter used to go up to level 10. Here, it caps at level 4.
 
Other skills may max out at level 1 or 3.
 
This is intentional and ensures balance within the server.

You start strong, but death resets everything depending on your mode.


'''No Rogue''': Assassin includes Rogue skills by design
Choose your path and class wisely.


This system provides flexibility and a layered challenge depending on your preferred playstyle. Whether you want punishing death mechanics, methodical pacing, or a focus on crafting, ''Ragnamex Hardcore'' has a path for you.
Enjoy a mix of known mechanics with deep customization and a hardcore roguelike twist.

Here, you'll spawn as any class at max level (Base 60 / Job 50). To start the game properly, you'll need to find a boss monster roaming the area and let it kill you.
