Corum Online (CO) is a free-to-play MMORPG developed by the Korean company NetTime Soft. The game is provided to the American market through Gala-Net.
Gala-Net are also the distributors of the games Flyff, Rappelz, and Space Cowboy Online. In the past couple of years, Corum Online has been one of the high ranked games in both the Japanese and Korean Markets. Corum Online game servers went live at 5pm PST (GMT -8) on 15th February 2007.
Corum Online provides a very unique gaming experience through its captivating PvP system which consists of battles over the ownership of "siege dungeons" scattered throughout the world of Corum.
These dungeons give the owners certain benefits such as unique items or materials that are required to make unique items that otherwise do not exist within the game. Therefore players who participate in "dungeon sieges" are able to gain very unique equipment.
There is a very large number of items available for players in Corum Online. Characters appear to have diverse customizations amongst players except at the early stages. Players can acquire items from many different avenues, including purchasing items from NPCs (Non Playing Characters), other players (through player created "shops"), or an online “Cash Shop” using real money which is exchanged for GPotato, which can then be used to purchase in game items. Sometimes items are also gained as rewards or "loot" from quests, or when certain NPC's are killed.
Corum Online can also allow the player to learn the skills of a different class. For example, a Fighter can learn the some of the same skills as a Sorceress. This feature adds a new level to a player’s customization of a character, however the disadvantage includes being unable to unlock higher level skills of your character's class, because each time a skill is increased in level, you gain 1 mastery point for that skill's class.
For example, for each time a priest skill is increased, the priest mastery increases by 1. To unlock the priest buffs (skills which improve other player's statistics) you need to have 35-70 mastery points. If you choose to divert your skill levelling to other classes such as sorceress which may help you in pvp or solo levelling, it will take you much longer to unlock these higher level skills.
In this system, players can choose what type of "build" you want to create, for example if you wanted to be a "battle priest" which is a priest with the emphasis on attacking, you can chose to learn other attacking skills while also having healing spells quite high. On the other hand if you wanted to be a "buff & heal priest" you simply learn the priest buffs and heals . This allows additional diversity in the players.
There is no one "build" for any class - this means that players have to think about what you want your character to do, and play around with the skills.
Due to the PVP system and the versatility of the character build system, Corum Online is a game that is dominated by parties (where a group of characters work together and share the rewards) and Guilds.

[edit] Fighter
The Fighter's Origin
Marbeth is a warrior with an Aura force. His Aura force allows fast and strong offensive attacks, but his skills are not suitable for fighting a large number of enemies at once. He does have a skill that attacks many enemies simultaneously, but it is the last stronghold to be used when he reaches the limit. Physical offensive power does not decrease even if the Aura completely vanishes because the Aura force is separate from physical power.
Vengeance that comes from losing his loving Dark Elves to the Darthted is the origin of his power that drives him, and his final objective is to destroy Darthted by gaining strength through crystals.
02 The Fighter's Skills
The origin of the fighter's force is his Aura. Aura is the same as the oriental concept of Ki. Skills that provide other units with great damage are used by accumulating massive amounts of Ki. Such accumulated flow of Ki (Aura) inside the body is made smooth through hard training. The warrior~Rs Aura skill allows the fastest motion speed among all skills and most of his skills do not require any cooldown time. Patience is required when fighting with many enemies since the Aura skill is not suitable for fighting against numerous enemies at once. The power of Aura (AP Aura Point = identical to SP) does not recover naturally and does not recover by the consumption of liquid medicine. It can only be refilled through an "Aura Recharge," which is one of the Aura skills. Recovery speed increases as your skill level increases. The fighter has the highest level of stamina, physical offensive power and defensive power among his class.
Basic Stats - EGO 10 STR 30 DEX 15 INT 10 VIT 20
Aura, the origin of force Allows strong attacks on enemies using the power of the Aura which is accumulated in his body. The Aura skill has the fastest motion speed among all skills but is not suitable for fighting against numerous enemies at once.The Aura can only be refilled through the "Aura Recharge" skill.
[edit] Ranger
Ranger: Celci, the Ranger of Robentia (Lone-Elf)
This is the ranger who was trained by the Keletic of Robentia. The Lone-Elf race was born through the racial mixture of the Lones and the Elves in Robentia at a time when marriage among different races were strictly prohibited. Because of this, the Elves were driven out to the land of Corum. Now, after 600 years, the ranger is the only female left among the Lone-Elves. She developed the ability to channel Chakra (energy). The ranger is not only skilled at fighting, but she also excelled at human skills (tracking, concealment, poisoning, assassination, etc.) which require the use of Chakra. Chakra is not only a force for human skills but it is also the origin of her physical force. The strength of Chakra can be demonstrated when fighting against many enemies and a small number of strong enemies. The only drawback is that she does not have a lot of stamina because she loses power as she uses her Chakra. Her will to search for the crystals is to follow the will of the Keletic, her father and teacher.
02 The Ranger's Skills The ranger has the highest offensive accuracy and evasion skills of any class. She has high physical offensive and defensive power and skills that require the use of Chakra. The series of skills that use Chakra are mainly ninja skills such as concealment and poisoning. Also mimicking the skills of other classes is one of the ranger's specialties. Chakra is the origin of the ranger~Rs force. The force of Chakra is released when the Kundalinis in a human's body are opened. The ranger uses powerful skills through the force of this Chakra. The amount of Chakra affects the use of the skill and it also determines the physical offensive and defensive power. This means that physical offensive and defensive power increases when there is more Chakra and physical offensive and defensive power decreases when Chakra runs out. Defensive power and HP is lower than a fighters but offensive power exceeds that of the fighter when there is a large amount of Chakra.
Basic Stats - EGO 20 STR 15 DEX 25 INT 10 VIT 15
Chakra, the origin of force - The hunter uses the skill of channeling Chakra. The Chakra skills are mainly ninja skills such as concealment and poisoning. The amount of Chakra affects the use of skills and also the physical offensive and defensive power.
[edit] Sorceress
Sorceress: Ella, the Wizard of Evia
Dynamis are the only ones in Evia who know about both faces of good and evil. They patrol the skies of Evia to look out for Darthted intrusions and they command in the front lines during battles against Darthted. The source of her force is Mana. This force comes from controlling and exploding Mana mixed with nature. It is suitable for fighting against a large number of enemies at once. She is not suitable for fighting against a small number of fast and strong enemies because there is a delay (cooldown) once a spell is cast. Darthted will forever be an enemy to her because she has been fighting against them for the longest time and she will continue to do so.
02 The Sorceress' Skills
The Sorceress' force of Mana comes from nature and it can do damage to numerous enemies. The stronger the spell, the longer the casting and cooldown time will be. It is important that there is somebody there to protect the Sorceress during her casting time. A high-level Sorceress can protect herself against many enemies because she has the ability to cast many different spells simultaneously. This means she can fight against enemies using her faster casting low-level spells while she chants for a strong spell. When many spells are cast at once, the power of Mana drains at a faster rate. The power of Mana for the Sorceress recovers over time and the recovery speed can be faster based on the items or skills that are used. Mana regeneration can be slower due to curses.
Basic Stats - EGO 25 STR 10 DEX 5 INT 35 VIT 10
Mana, the source of force - Uses the power of the element from nature. By using the power of Mana, strong offensive moves can be made to a numerous enemies simultaneously.The stronger the spell, the longer the casting time and cooldown time will be. Mana recovers as time goes by.
[edit] Priest
Priest: Ishuma, the Priest of Corum (Human)
His holy power seals the power of magic, releases curses, increases the power of other characters and it can also destroy the power of a curse. He also has some descent combat skills. The holy vessel division that put him on the crystal recovery mission believes that he is Mareut Sao Saint. He was the one who people predicted would come back at the end of the second century. Ishuma has the initials "MA" carved into his back which can mean Maitreya (or Mahavira), but it can also be Mahakala. "Kala" means death and he is also the god of great destruction that can bring the world to an end.
02. The Priest's Skills
The source of the priest's power is the infinite religious power that comes from Gaia. He usually plays the role of assisting other classes through the power of divine protection, but he can also protect himself because he has the third strongest physical combat strength falling behind the fighter and the ranger. For the priest's divine skills, there are many abilities that become activated once they have been selected, which means that most divine skills do not use any skill points (SP). Because of this, if there is a priest who is not determined to train for the skills of other classes, not many bonus points will need to be distributed into INT. Due to the characteristics of this class, the effects of divine protection are strongest because the connection with Gaia is very strong and the friendship level with Gaia rapidly increases. The divine protection of Gaia approaches slowly but irresistibly. The divine active skill does not use SP but the overdrive of the divine system uses it just like skills of other classes. The priest will probably be a character that requires a lot of thinking as to how he should be raised. The divine skill of the Priest has the power to increase valuable buffs that are important in combat such as recovery, protection, offensive and defensive power, offensive success ratio, and evasion ratio. These benefits make the Priest essential to any party. The overdrive skill of the Priest has the power of sealing a monster's power or the magical power of other characters. He is very effective in locking core members of the opposing faction's fighters during party wars or guild wars. The power of the Priest's magic attack cancellation through absolute magic defense is extremely effective against the Sorceress who relies mostly on skills.
Basic Stats - EGO 10 STR 20 DEX 15 INT 20 VIT 20
Divine, the source of force - Uses various assisting skills with the power of Gaia. There are many skills that can be activated once selected.Divine skills usually do not use any SP points.
[edit] Summoner
Summoner: Cyon, the Summoner of Darthted (Dark Elf)
He has the characteristics and the power of a Dark Elf, but it is unknown whether he is a Dark Elf because nobody among the Dark Elf race know him. He has the ability to harness the force of Prana, which he uses to summon creatures from the other worlds and also has the power to get into a monster's head to confuse or completely control it. He is hardly ever influenced by the other worlds. Nothing is known about his objective.
02. The Summoner's Skills
The Summoner can tame a monster and use it as a subordinate, but there is a limit to how many monsters he can have under his control at a time. Once the summoner reaches the limit of creatures that he can control, if he were to summon another one, the first creature that was tamed will be released. In order to prevent this, there needs to be a summons contract with the monster so that when it is no longer needed, it be moved to the other world. Once a summons contract is made, the monster can be summoned whenever and wherever the summoner is located. If the summoning power of a summoner reaches the extreme, then characters from other servers can also be summoned. The Summoner is the only character who can charm more than one guardian at a time.
Basic Stats - EGO 15 STR 10 DEX 10 INT 25 VIT 25
Prana, the source of force - Uses skills to tame and confuse monsters. Characters from other servers can be summoned if the power of the summoner's skill reaches the extreme.
[edit] Arcus
Arcus: Arcus, the Hidden Hunter of the Land (Arcus) There are many who know about the legendary fighter "Marbeth", the ranger "Celci", the priest "Ishuma", and the summoner "Cyon", but there are few who know about this hero.Pluvius, the only hero to ever so quickly and accurately shoot silver arrows like beams of light blazing away from the bow in dark silence...
02. The Arcus' Skills
Arcus is the only character capable of long range attacks through the use of bows and crossbows. Since Arcus was able to survive by using habits of nature, she knows how to manage groups of monsters. This unique skill is better than any other class. She not only controls the monsters, but she also has a strong sense of camaraderie with them. She has the ability to feed monsters skills and herbs which can make the monster do many things for her. He is the only character that uses the power source known as Windy, which is the ability to control wind. The ability to control wind can only be granted by the fairies in the land of Corum because they control the wind throughout the land. Since wind control skills are given to people who are friendly with the fairies, it is important to keep the fairies under control.
