Perfect World Gold will take you to experience something fresh. Perfect World features four races, each with two exclusive classes, bringing the total of eight classes that players can choose from. Each race has unique characteristics, begin in different areas of Chunghoon, and undertake different quests.
Humans are the primary race in the northern realms of Pangu, with the main settlement being the city of Etherblade. Humans have no innate abilities, but fly with the aid of magical weapons. Players choosing a Human character can pick between the melee-oriented blademaster class, and the mage-type wizard class.
Winged Elves live mainly in the southern areas of Pangu, and in their chief/capital City of Plume. Winged Elf characters are distinguished by a small pair of wings on their heads, and all Winged Elf characters can fly from the very beginning of the game, though at the cost of mana until they receive a new set of wings at level 30 which consume nothing. Characters of this race can choose to be an Archer or a Cleric.
Untamed are intelligent beings, evolved from animals living in the west of Pangu and in their chief/capital City of the Lost. Untamed characters can transform into animals to increase their defenses and unlock special abilities, or remain in intelligent form for a larger variety of skills and can use flying beasts at Level 30.
Tideborn are born from the depths of the seas. They are part of the Perfect World Rising Tide expansion, and are described as a lost race that has risen again. They can transform into fish form, unlocking melee skills and increasing swim speed. Their race dominates the far southeastern islands and in their capital city, City of the Raging Tides.
