Choosing Your RaceChoosing the right race can play a vital role in mastering a character. Races are designed to align with certain classes, while offering unique abilities that grow with each expansion.
Please take notice of each races costume and makeup requirements. Most races that have a heavy costume requirement will have unique abilities for said costumes. In other words, if your race has a heavy costume requirement, Darkenvale gives those races more abilities to compensate / reward those characters. We didn't want to define classes / races down to the last detail so players are free to mix it up as they see fit. |
Half-Races
A Note About Half-Races:
From time to time a player may want to play a Half-race character, such as Half-Elf, Half-Dwarf, Half-Orc, or otherwise. From a lore standpoint, this is fine, however a player can only choose from the approved races, and must choose one of those two races as their primary race, and it is only the primary race that will be bound to their character profile. A player may only acquire racial abilities from their primary race, regardless of what the other half of their race may be.
From a roleplay standpoint, those that are not pure of blood will likely be looked down upon, or may not be allowed into certain factions, tribes or guilds. The fact is, many characters are biased to their pure race and they may kill your character simply because your character is a mixed breed.
