How to use this index
This page is a starting point, not a mirror of every community page. Each table gives one decision-relevant column so you can tell whether the linked page is worth opening. Prices are Bonds unless a row says otherwise.
If two sources disagree, the page linked from the row is the one with the longer explanation. A 29-class count and a 35-class count can both be right: they count different scopes.
| Class | Bonds | Why you would pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Miner | 15 | Pickaxe, light and coal; cheapest fuel economy. |
| Doctor | 15 | Healing and three no-bandage revives at a health cost. |
| Cowboy | 50 | Revolver, ammo and a tamed horse. |
| Werewolf | 50 | Double night stats; 0.9x by day. Mastery added in Act 3. |
| Vampire | 75 | Fast melee and blood healing; sunlight hurts. |

What changed in Act 3
Act 3 shipped on 31 October 2026. It added Zombie and Werewolf mastery tracks, bringing the documented total to eight. It did not add a new purchasable class, and the Shop Drop 3 item list was still undocumented on 3 November.
The Hollow platform quest ended on 2 November 2026. The Dead of Night event itself had no published end date on 3 November; use the lobby label rather than an old screenshot.
