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. Seasonal and event classes have different unlock routes, while removed classes are outside the active unlock pool.

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 the one removed class. It stays on the page for players who still remember its furniture-trader perks.
FAQ
How many classes are listed for 99 Nights in the Forest?
There are 47 classes: 39 active, 7 limited or event, and 1 removed.
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 separate system that can reuse class perks. Each class entry covers the class itself: price, starter tools, perks, requirements, role, and availability.
