Item Shop and Payment
Players can buy many different costumes such as wedding dresses or movie themed outfits, different kinds of pets (Siberian Husky, Turtle, White Tiger, Ranny Bear) and the recently added pets (Monkey, Panther, Pixie, Saurus), their pet skills (Automatic potion, Auto Looting, Auto recovery, Attack and Defense increase, Item non-drop), nail arts, hairstyles, accessories, destiny boxes, bikes that can increase the movement speed of the player, game points and other items through the Item Shop. Weapons can't be bought in the shop, so that the game balance won't be influenced by the shop. Making an online payment to purchase items is different depending on the Publisher and countries. As of now, in RAN Global Service, players can pay by using Arcellis Gift Shop or MOL.
Classes
Ran Online features 8 Classes including the new Magician Class which players can customize their characters appearance.
