There are now four classes in Cube World: Warrior, Ranger, Spirit Mage and Rogue.
Each class can choose between two specializations. Each specialization adds additional passive and active abilities to your class. You can swap your specialization in villages any time.
Warrior
Warriors are masters of close-range combat. They wear heavy armor and can wield swords, axes, maces, greatswords, greataxes, greatmaces and shields.
Warriors can be Guardian or Berserker.
- Guardians have increased health and defensive abilities.
- Berserkers profit from war frenzy, which increases their attack speed with each hit.
Ranger
Rangers defeat their foes from the distance. They wear medium armor and can attack with bows and crossbows.
Rangers can choose between Sniper and Scout
- Snipers are specialized on accurately aimed range attacks.
- Scouts are more mobile are good in mid-range combat.
Spirit Mage
Spirit Mages use their mind to control the spirit and to cast powerful spells. In contrast to all other classes they passively generate spirit over time. They wear light armor and can use staffs and wands.
Spirit Mages specialize on fire or water spells.
- Fire Mages can shoot firebolts and fireballs to burn their enemies.
- Water Mages can cast water drops and water splashes. The resulting water puddles heal friendly targets.
Rogue
Rogues are stealthy fighters specialized on sneaking, cheating and fast attacks. They wear medium armor and can use daggers, fist weapons and longswords (I'm also thinking about adding shurikens and other throwing weapons).
Specialization: Rogues can follow the way of the Assassin or the Ninja
- Assassins ambush enemies using stealth attacks.
- Ninjas are specialized on evasion and counter attacks.
I'll give you more detailed info on each class in separate posts soon!

So awesome. When will you release the game or do a beta? D:
This is just my opinion but maybe you should add something more to the Ranger, it seems to lack some feature from the others, i don´t want to sound it like a WOW similarity, but maybe the addition of having a pet would make him more balanced with the others. It looks awesome and i can´t wait to play it! Continue the great work you´re doing!
HELL YAH
If there's only one kind of mage, there's no need to title the class "spirit mage." It's fine to let the players know that the mage uses spirits, but know that the players will instantly and universally refer to spirit mages as mages, because there's no reason to specify.
Amaaaaaaazing.
Really nice. Looking forward to see the different gameplay styles of the classes.
can i have some??
Cool!
There is water and fire mage, thats what i read on the pictures oher the HP bar.
Really really nice, love your game =P
These all sound great, I'm particularly interested on the water mage class and seeing how that will play!
Classic : ) Keep it up man!
This is really, really nice. But everyone wants to play it already.
This game is going to be so epic! ' Going to play the guardian warrior :D
Are you going to release a beta?
ninjas..... this is way too awesome
Can't wait to make a mothafucking bow *--*
Or allow them to have a chance at hitting a critical hit.
Looks good.
Maybe add more classes in the future?
Yo Guys Now Think about fighting a Dragon with your Friends in Cube World....I WANT THIS GAME NAOW
Like if u Think so Too
-Marvin
This is gonna be amazing. I can't wait for it to come out. Hopefully we wont have to wait too long. Why don't you do what Mojang did with Minecraft, and release it cheap in Alpha, and get feedback and then update to beta and subsequently; the full version. It would make a lot of fans happy.
Keep up the good work! :)
Pets are already in the game and they won't be class specific.
You're a genius Wollay. Thank God, that you are making this project. CW will be my favorite game I've ever seen. I swear, I'll make as much advertisement for this game as I can. Go Wollay and continue this miracle of the videogame world =)
The release will contain these four classes and my plan is to add new ones afterwards. Probably a paladin next.
I haven't worked out the ranger specs completely yet. Pets are available to all classes,
Wollay?
Will there be Dragons ingame? (in a update or release)
-Marvin
Take my $624.65 in my wallet and give me the game p.s take away my life as i know it as well
My plan is to do that. But at the moment the game is still too much in a development state (no starting screen, no real save system) and I'm changing things all the time. I'll release it as soon as everything is in a more solid state.
Yes, but I still need to work out it's attack mechanics.
Looks great! Only concern I have is will Rangers -only- be able to use the bows? Or can they use melee, but just not to any great effect. Just worried that if they're restricted to using only ranged weapons, they'll be completely helpless against enemies that can close the gap.
1. I Cant Answer that
2.Ranger can walk faster then Monster so they got a Chance
At least I dont have to create my dream game, because you are doing it
Like it! Please don't stop with the work!
I Would make it Fire Breathing and if the player comes near he attacks with Melee
Just a tipp^^
-Marvin
I guess, though it wouldn't exactly be much fun if all you do as a Ranger is snipe and kite :\
Wooly, In that picture is that copper you are getting a drop from monster?
I've been checking the blog every single day and FINALLY a new post! :D
It looks so amazing so far! Love the class specializations. :)
im a really big fan of this project from the start and its getting better and better :)
if you ever need a game tester you know where to find me ;P
Wollay,Wird Das Spiel auch eine Deutsche Übersetzung Haben?
-Marvin
Then play Warrior Rogue or Mage i think they are would be fun :D
-Marvin
Wow, that's so creative... (sarcasm)
how will you be able to download the game after release? for example are you going with steam or doing a standalone internet page?
I'm pretty sure it will be standalone
How destructive are enemies allowed to be? I remember from videos it looked like they could only destroy a few layers of the ground. Any chance of huge boss fights leaving a massively devastated battlefield? And Is there a system in place that naturally changes/rebuilds the land?
Super excited!!! Looks like classes are more than just points. :D
Epic...Really nice work Wollay :)
PS:How about Official site ? :)
A paladin huh?
But what difference would they make in comparison to the water mage, in a healing aspect?
I can't wait when this will be released... is it singleplayer or mmo? or is there a Multiplayer option?
yes,no and yes.
Still love the look and feel of this game. This is a beautiful blend of RPG, Dungeon crawl and open world game :)
Love this game!!! Did you come up with a price yet?
Ja wird es, Hat er mal erwähnt.
Then get the starting screen and save system f***ing working xD
No, just joking ^-^ Let's go with another updates soon =)
Oh man, ich bin so unglaublich gespannt auf der fertige Spiel!
NINJAS!!
GOOD GOD I can't wait till this comes out :D
Then don't play as them O.o
...but I like playing as ranged classes? I just don't want to be completely fucked in Melee as in being completely unable to even use a sword or whatever. I don't expect to be nearly as good with one as a Warrior, but I just want to know if you can even wield melee weapons as a Ranger at all.
Can't wait!!
NO HEALERS D: my soul is crushed...
The land will regenerate over time.
Usually there is some sort of melee attack. For example in WoW you can punch with the bow or use a number of close-range knockback "spells". In a combination of pets, the bow, and skills, I don't think you will need to melee much at all.
Any Necromancer/Dark Mage, Druid/Shaman, Monk/Priest perhaps?
With all the great games that have came out this year, I still can't enjoy them because my heart is set on this game. Keep it up!!!
The water specialty for the Spirit Mage is a healer.
Words fail to describe the epicness of this game. To think it's still in development! How much more are you planning to add? My mind will be unable to cope with such amazingness!
For better playability only "organic" blocks like grass and trees can be destroyed. In earlier versions I sometimes had the problem of trolls smashing me deep into mountains or into the ground. The destroyed blocks regenerate when you re-enter the area.
- There is no minimum range for bows and crossbows.
- Rangers have a retreat ability which allows them to jump back quickly when the enemy is close.
- Special abilities can stun the enemy.
- You can have tank pets.
Exactly.
Ja.
Yes. :)
I don't know yet, except that they're melee.
agreed
Looking forward to be able to play this game, I really hope it'll be completed :D
I'm quite happy with the features so far. I think there are just minor things missing. We'll now polish and tweak everything. In the meanwhile I'm planning to post information on some other features I haven't shown yet, like pet taming, crafting and quests. :)
interesting, if you need more class ideas just use D&D classes, they are the base for just about every game, will also be looking foreward to a cleric class
i just want to say that this game looks amazing, keep up the good work guys, and never give up on this because i am willing to pay any amount (within reason of course) and i want to offer a little advise and that is to try to put it on steam so that some people can access it without having to put there details on another website. But other than that this game looks amazing. :)
you should add some classes only pets like for warriors something like armored or cyber dogs. Will there be futuristic weapons?
agreed with these classes :P
yes but more as a healer with 1 ability, a specialized healer would add a whole other role to the game
also if you do what minecraft did please don't abandon it like Notch did and hand it to someone else, and dear god don't pull a terraria lol, well when the games in beta or alpha or whatever post it on fb and I'll give it a go, been lookin for a game anyways and starbounds the only other game I'm waitin on
This is looking really good, I was wondering though, will the classes be able to use other classes items if they obtain them? (e.g. warriors with bows)
Yeah that's like my only fear about this game,that the creators get bored with it and throw the game and the community away.
Like we got your money,and you got your fun,now fuck off.
Thank you for the reply! Consider my concerns alleviated simply at the mention of pets. That is definitely one thing I've always liked to have playing any sort of Ranger class. (Though maybe I've got my head a bit stuck in that mindset from playing one in Guild Wars 2 so much lately...)
Sounds like it will definitely be a well enough rounded class to enjoy regardless of the situation. Looking forward to getting to try the game out whenever you finally decide to let us have a go :3
I was going to say that making the water mage a hurrdurr healer made me be dissapoint, but if you can use a pet to whack at enemies while buffing/healing it and be a successful solo-player that way it'd be pretty cool.
No, each class can only use their respective weapons. But I'm thinking about adding ranged (throwing) weapons to warriors and rogues which can be useful in some situations.
notch did not give the game to anyone! he gave it to his best employee! he still works a bit on the game, and he along with the others are making new games!
Ninjas?
1 word:claws.
EVERY ninja needs claws!
Hey dude, when i saw that you'll add a throwing weapon for the rogue, il instanstly thought of that : http://www.torchlight2rama.fr/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/class_outlander.jpg (weapon on the right). What do you think of it ? :D
I love the music in your game,and I hope you'll add more relaxing tune's to it.I can just sit back,relax and enjoy me some Cube World. (name in progress.)
I was wondering how you go about mages, because a fire and water mage is nice.
But if they just have spells it seems like it would get dull easily. Will the mage have more spells that are not a spec specific?
It is hard to release a game like this for beta. With a sandbox game like Minecraft it worked great but since this game seems like it has a storyline it will need to be in well working to avoid any bugs breaking the ability to play the story.
I Can't wait to play with the fire mage :D
hi. very nice work !! can´t await it !! I am very interested in the flying system. will it be like in the video, with constant speed und using energy to "jump" higher, or could it perhaps be more dynamic like getting faster by flying down and slower by flying up. i am dreaming of climbing a high mountain, looking down to the valley, jumping and dashing down, bevfore gliding through the valley and getting slower... and climb again... ^^
This looks amazing :D Good job, sir and keep up the good work
Cant wait to see the final game!
To me it looks like you just have some polishing left to do with this game. Is it possible we will see it next year =D
Lovin the Idea of fist weapons!
If you dont mind me asking, what will be the price tag ?
It's ironic that I emailed wollay yesterday wondering when we would get another update. Well played wollay... well played
Will there be PvP in this game, because thats what I'm really intrested in!
And will we be able to make multiplayer servers like in minecraft for example
can you give a estimated release day. Your work is amazing so far cant wait
Yes and yes.
Amazing!!
Hi, Im From Brazil, And i would like o ask f the game will be translated in brazillian portuguese... and if not, i could help you ,after all, i know how to speak english, but i know a lot of people who dont, so, if you want help with that just email me =)
its looking better and better
Wollay, why dont you expand the existing classes with a 2nd class specialization, like Guardiands into paladins or wardens, rangers into snipers or hunters, etc.
I wonder if at maximum level, rogues can go invisible...
looks like they can, look at the skill bar.
Here is to hoping that wollay grants us all a very merry christmas and we get our first alpha / beta drop. I can easily see myself buying a copy for me and one for each of my nephews.
What would be the advantage of using a rouge and how would he put up against bosses?
Can't wait for this game, anymore xD
Rogues specialize in cheating.. wat?
All characters can tame pets
I would prefer throwing knives over that, more of a traditional thief item.
I was hoping for a duelist, some sort of agile dual dagger wielding class that might be some sort of rogue specialization, but it seems you made ninjas into that.
I guess I just hate naruto but the word ninja makes me cringe.
My opinion would to make the paladin more of a buffer than a healer, to not cheapen the water mage.
Assassins should get traps and snares and poisons. That would sell me on that class instantly.
Rogues don't play fair. >:D
Is the system where you can add the blocks to the weapons to make them stronger still in? it hasn't been mentioned in a while
very good, now I'm undecided about which more below grade, I'm between Ranger and Mage Spirit
Wollay-
Can please hint some of the names of the famous youtubers you are in contact with. I have already seen that adamzonetopmarks a.k.a gamechap has posted an update on your game.
HERO! Hero is a youtuber who's at about 90,000 subs I think, and he's said he will be playing the game frequently on his channel now that he's quit Terraria.
Here's an idea:
Shooting a bow/spell while flying on your Hang-glider.
having a cooldown time for this attack/ once per-flight?
Thoughts?
When will we be able to play?
I hope so
Amazing! I keep throwing my money at the screen but nothing is happening!
Can I still use weapons of another class while playing? Like a Ranger with a sword or a Rogue with a bow?
A quote from Wollay, "No, each class can only use their respective weapons. But I'm thinking about adding ranged (throwing) weapons to warriors and rogues which can be useful in some situations."
Ok i have an idea. For the ninja you should add kunai knives
I love it! A similiar system was in the Fire Emblem games, where you can choose a specialization for your character, and it worked great! This game just becomes even more interesting for every update! Wanna buy it today!
Argh! Just come out with a beta or something! Im really itching to play!!
Indeed, while I do want the game to release soon, I really hope to see a Necromancer, Summoner or Engineer. The minion based classes are so scarce in gaming these days.
If you are talking about the move in the third slot, it looks more like a dash type move to me.
Just take my money.
lol i was hoping on remaking him with the duel wielder class :D
@Wollay i was wondering if your gonna take the path like terraria, like when you join a server will you be able to take your items with you or is it going to be like minecraft and when you join a server you basically have to start over, i sure hope your gonna be allowed to bring you items with you on the server/servers.
can't wait for the game
Wollay the game is looking great! I just want to throw an idea your way. At a certain level, say 20, give people the the recipe to create a ship from templates at a dock in a village or something (they may have to gather materials for it?). This ship could be a mobile home with extra inventory. You could even have people create ships that they share while in a party. The more people in the party, the more sails they can add or the bigger they can make the ship. It would serve as a speedy mode of transportation to reach new islands with greater monsters and dungeons ^_^. Also, when I say ship, I don't mean a ferry that you can't control... that would be lame, there should be a pilot seat for the ship. This also means you can add more water to the game, which would probably make a lot of people more excited. Good luck with Cube World!
Cant Wait For It To Come Out It Looks Epic
If your going to make items have attributes like dark shield, or fiery sword, can you add a holy/divine/light kind of attributes that provide defense and health, because I'm going to make my guardian look like a Paladin when I get the game.
Awesome, I really want this game :D
Keep on trucking Wollay, looks AMAZING and will be checking back on updates.
Will water mages be based more around support/healing than just dealing water damage? I've always enjoyed playing a more dedicated healer/support class so it'd be great if that were the case.
Word.
Agreed, these would be interesting to see.
Sweet update!
I'm thinking of the Ranger's wielding abilities- I've always found ranged classes firing arrows into enemies at point-blank very awkward.
-------> Could Rangers be able to wield small blades?
- With some kind of drawback.
I'd like to know as well.
If there's going to be a more dedicated healer class, I don't think the Water Mage should be it (even though it would be refreshing [mind the pun]).
...Mainly to give more variety to the mage players out there, instead of everyone picking Fire Mage if they want to deal damage.
(I'm sure Wollay has lots more ideas for classes/specializations :P)
Yeah, it doesn't have to be water mage, but some kind of dedicated support class would be great. Either way I'm very much looking foward to whatever updates Wollay adds. I'm sure he knows what he's doing.
Wollay will you add some support for mod makers beacuse i would love to enchance the server fun by making mods like new items skills and more
wow, nice. Waiting for release. :)
how's the progress of your main homepage?
(can't wait!)
Would be nice if you add a Druid/Shapeshifter class, like, transforming into different animals or something like that.
Am I reading this right...?
why people say its like minecraft? its a lot better and really different well at-least it looks like it just take your time making this game as good as possible
People say it's like minecraft because they are uninformed, personally, I don't even think it looks like minecraft.
That would be very interesting, but you would need to be careful not to go overboard with it.
First off there is a way to lock on to enemies so I don't see that firing at enemies at point blank will be awkward. Wollay also said to someone else on this subject that rangers will get a retreat kind of ability that will allow you to put distance between you and your enemy.
"Water Mages can cast water drops and water splashes. The resulting water puddles heal friendly targets." I would say water mage will be it because no where does that say that water mages even do damage, only healing.
A lot of time and care went into this game, after the last few updates I look forward to seeing what else you added to your game.
I'm SO excited to play this game!
lol
Wollay i've been visiting the blog for the last 4 months every day since i discovered the game, i can only say is that every update you post make me sleep better because i can see that you still there and didn't give up, thank you for the great game you are making.
Will we be able to create custom maps when the game comes out?
I was very interested by you class !
I love it :) !
Damn now its like WoW in cubes!!
sory for fake mail, i tend to my privacy
When I read this post, I thought about World of Warcraft. The good old days.. : D
Maybe a Shapeshifter class?
Like, transforming into different animal forms?
Would be cool.
I have 3 things to say:
1. I've wanted to be a two-sworded elf. Which class i should to be?
2. You should to make te menu and the saving slots an release the game.
3. How about the homepage?
You should upload a videa with the clases gameplay.
I have 2 tings to say:
1. I wanted to be a two-sworded elf, which class i should choose?
2. Please make the menu and the saving slots and release the game.
WOW! This game will be absolutely amazing! And the fact that single and local/multi play will be available is just AWESOME! Thank you dude
If you want to have dual swords I think you would use a rouge or a warrior, would just depend on the secondary skills and what type of armor you want to use.
Edit: Just realized it said that rouges use, "long swords," which might be two handed, so you might have to go with a warrior. Time will tell for sure, though.
you can edit posts....
Fucking doublepost. ._.
Thought my old one disappeared xD
I thought about:
Druid is the mainclass.
Then you got the two specializations:
Shapeshifter
Healer
Shapeshifter got 3-5 different forms instead of abilitys, but each form got their own unique abilitys aswell.
And instead of those flying thingys, he could add a Owlform or something.
Just suggestions tho.
but I think Im the only one loving shapeshifting in games xD
I'm definitely into the support classes :)
AGREED!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! KEEP IT COMING!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Hey, Wollay, what do you think about adding flying mounts?
Will the avatars be fully editable or will we use presets? Just a question.
If you are talking about editing the character voxel by voxel, you won't be able to do that you get presets.
presets.
He has said no flying mounts.
Thats awesome! Cant wait for the game. Have you considered a beta at all?
AGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDD
This statement is actually quite scary, considering "minor things missing" and "polish and tweak everything" suggest the game is nearly finished (which it might ofcourse). Which means I'm going to get my hopes up for a this-year release.
Yeah. We'll see!
Yes, I know you can lock on.
Ah yeah, here's Wollay's reply to Zakail, who had a similar inquiry to mine:
"- There is no minimum range for bows and crossbows.
- Rangers have a retreat ability which allows them to jump back quickly when the enemy is close.
- Special abilities can stun the enemy.
- You can have tank pets."
Sounds pretty good.
I guess the glider (so far anyway) would make a flying mount redundant.
->In the future, however, I think it would be cool if we had a diverse selection of mounts!
Rangers already have a Sniper specialization along with the Scout specialization. But if I'm following you correctly otherwise, I think this idea would be cool for the future.
Example:
________________________-----[A]
____________----[Fire Mage]
_____________/___________-----[B]
So, [Spirit Mage]--------------------------------------------------------------------------
____________\___________-----[C]
____________-----[Water Mage]
________________________-----[D]
Awesome! I was just wondering, can any class be any race? Cause I love what the classes are, but it would like be awesome to be a dwarf berzerker or an orc mage. So, if thats not how you made it already, it would be AWESOME if you did that!
Cant wait for the game :)
fucl the updates just GET THIS DONE :D
......that's what he is doing, this is how he tells us he is.......
Pretty sure any race can be any class.
OMG can't fucking wait for this game. While I would love for this game to be released like tomorrow it would completely fuck me over for the semester. But honestly if this thing came out between now and winter break I wouldn't give a shit, i'd be playing this the DAY OF RELEASE!
Ok, cause it would be lame if you couldn't, but, im sure the uberawesometotallysweet wollay would find a way to make this work.
People recently just have been thinking "OmG cubi blawk thingz, MYNECRAFTZ C0PY N00B!"
