All 43 Classes in 99 Nights in the Forest: Which Should You Unlock First?

Classes shape a 99 Nights in the Forest run before the first tree is chopped. Each class changes your starting tools, early priorities, and the level requirements you chase during longer runs. The class list tracks 43 source-backed rows: 35 active classes, 7 limited or event classes, and 1 removed class.

Use the cards to compare price, starter tools, level 1 perks, level 2 and level 3 requirements, and the kind of run each class supports. Active classes are the main unlock pool. Limited classes belong to seasonal or event routes. The removed class stays listed for players who see old references and need to know why it is not part of the active group.

Where classes unlock and why stock matters

Classes are bought from the lobby class system when they are available in stock. Most active classes use Diamonds, while limited classes can use event currencies such as Candy, Candy Canes, or Eggs. Stock matters because owning enough currency does not always mean the class is purchasable at that moment.

Every class starts at level 1. Level 2 and level 3 unlock by completing class-specific tasks, such as cooking food, opening chests, reviving players, cutting trees, taming animals, killing enemies with a tool type, or traveling away from camp. The requirement fields are often more important than the price because they tell you what the class wants you to do during the run.

Which class should you unlock first

Pick a class by the problem you are trying to solve. Scavenger and Explorer help with looting and travel. Lumberjack, Farmer, Cook, Chef, and Blacksmith support longer survival routes. Medic and Support are stronger in teams. Ranger, Alien, Cyborg, Gunslinger, Assassin, Vampire, and Fire Bandit lean into combat. Zookeeper, Beastmaster, and Necromancer matter when summons or tamed animals are part of the plan.

Expensive classes are not automatically the best first purchase. A cheaper class with a clear job can be more useful than a high-price class that needs specific tools, teammates, or late-run scaling before it pays off. Check the starter tools and level requirements before spending currency, especially if the class depends on a resource you do not farm often.

When limited or removed classes still matter

Limited classes are kept separate because their unlock route depends on the related event or seasonal currency. Treat those rows as reference unless the event route is available again. Decorator is listed as removed so old guides, class mentions, and furniture-trader notes still have a place in the class reference.

FAQ

How many classes are listed for 99 Nights in the Forest?

The source-backed class list has 43 rows: 35 active classes, 7 limited or event classes, and 1 removed class.

How do you unlock classes in 99 Nights in the Forest?

Classes are bought through the lobby class system when they are in stock. Active classes mostly use Diamonds. Limited classes can use event currencies such as Candy, Candy Canes, or Eggs.

Do class levels matter?

Yes. Every class starts at level 1, and level 2 and level 3 add more perks after you complete the listed requirements. Those requirements shape what you should do during the run.

Are limited classes always available?

No. Limited and event classes are tied to their seasonal or event routes. Keep them separate from active unlock planning unless that route is available again.

Are talents the same as classes?

No. Talents are a related system that can reuse class perks, but the class rows here focus on the class itself: price, starter tools, perks, requirements, role, and availability.
