Idleon Character Creation Order – What Classes To Make

Last Updated on June 1, 2026 by Samuel Franklin

Follow the Idleon best class setup below to remove the confusion of which base and advanced characters to make with your limited 10 slots. While this can be changed later with items using the correct order initially will save you Gems, time and ensure you have the required world skills to maximise progression speed.

For new players I recommend creating a Warrior first then a Mage and Archer before following the guide below for the secret and advanced classes.

Idleon Character Creation Order Table

I recommend the following best character setup which follows these two important account rules:

• 3 of each base class (Warrior, Mage and Archer) and at least one of each advancement (Barbarian, Squire, Shaman, Wizard, Bowman and Hunter).
• Only one secret Beginner class.

If your account is not exactly like this class meta don’t worry if you have followed the rules noted above. If you haven’t followed the rules above you can use character reset items available through events or the Gem Shop.

Number	Base Class	Path	Notes
1st Character	Warrior	Barbarian	Warriors are an ideal first class as their weapon attacks hit multiple enemies to easily speed through early quests while specialising in mining for equipment upgrades. The Barbarian specialises in the World 2 skill of fishing that makes it an important first advanced warrior choice.
2nd Character	Mage	Shaman	Chopping is the second most important early game skill which the mage specialises in. The first advancement should be the Shaman a World 2 alchemy specialist.
3rd Character	Archer	Bowman	Smithing is the least important World 1 skill initially so create an Archer last from the base classes. After this the Bowman specialises in the World 2 skill of catching so it should be your first Archer advancement.
4th Character	Warrior	Squire	The Squire specialises in World 3 (Construction) so is ideal for your second Warrior.
5th Character	Mage	Wizard	The Elemental Sorcerer specialises in World 3 (Worship) so is ideal for your second Mage.
6th Character	Archer	Hunter	The Hunter specialises in World 3 (Trapping) so is ideal for your second Archer.
7th Character	Beginner	Secret Class	The Secret Beginner class is weak initially but with time provides powerful account upgrades. After creating the core classes with 2 of each base class the 7th character slot is ideal for a Beginner as you have an account foundation to support them.
8th Character	Warrior	Squire	A second Squire is the best choice for your 8th character as they have high Construction build speed which can be a roadblock in account progression otherwise. While it initially may seem useful to have two Barbarians for higher fishing gains this is only a temporary roadblock compared to Construction. Two Death Bringers are also unnecessary as this masterclass is relatively easy to progress where the extra masterclass speed doesn’t outweigh construction progress.
9th Character	Mage	Wizard OR Shaman	A second Wizard is the best choice for your 9th character as their class advancement (Elemental Sorcerer) has a unique talent to equip two divinity powers in World 5 that massively improves their account contribution. This provides extra power compared to a second Shaman path as the usefulness of that class comes primarily from active play using Cranium Cooking and players can only active one character at a time. If you have the powerful legacy companion Doot which means all divinity boosts are always active then consider creating a second Shaman instead as the masterclass version (Arcane Cultist) is the hardest to progress and has powerful account boosts that will be faster with two of them.
10th Character	Archer	Bowman	A second Bowman is the best choice for your 10th as they have higher damage scaling than the Hunter pathway for improved AFK fighting gains from this slot. While two Wind Walkers does mean faster masterclass progression similar to Death Bringers this is an easy masterclass to complete with only a single Wind Walker.
11th Character	Beginner	N/A	For now I recommend leaving your 11th character as a Beginner with no job or Journeyman advancement. This will allow you to adjust your account to the latest meta when the next round of masterclasses for Divine Knight, Elemental Sorcerer and Siege Breaker are released. With an established account full of bonuses this Beginner will still be able to push maps, give legend talent points and contribute AFK time for various boosts (Nothing Island, Monuments, Spelunking Scrolls).

Can I Change The Class Of A Character?

Players can change a character class with one of three items:

These items have been occasionally available as Idleon event rewards, through the limited Gem Shop and always available (excluding the Elite version) through the Dailies N Resets section of the Gem Shop.

Will There Be An 11th and 12th Character?

The 11th character was finally added in late May 2026. A 12th character is also expected as there are many UIs within Idleon designed that support up to 12 characters although is currently not available.
