'''Heroic Characters''' are characters that begin or are updated to levels 50, 85, or 100. Level 85 was added to EverQuest on March 12, 2014. On September 21, 2022, Heroic Characters with a starting level of 100 became available.  On May 15, 2024, level 50 will be available. In addition to starting at these levels, they also come with other benefits. You can boost any current character you have with this option.

{{Cquote|Heroic Characters allow players to select any class and begin their adventures in EverQuest at level 85 with a full complement of gear, Alternative Advancement Abilities, food, drink, and platinum. This feature is a great way for new players to get caught up with their friends. It’s also great for existing players that want to try new classes, or for players returning to Norrath so they can explore content that they haven’t had an opportunity to visit yet.}}

The platinum, food and drink, equipment, and other items a Heroic Character starts with are a one-time offering, rewarded to the first character you create or upgrade using the feature. If you delete your character and make a new one, you will not receive these items again.

If you purchase a Heroic Character and delete it, you can replace that character with another Heroic Character. Only the first Heroic Character created after each purchase will start with platinum and other items.
If you purchase a Heroic Character for 3500 Station Cash (SC), if you ever delete a Heroic Character you'll have the option to create a new one. If you delete a Heroic Character you purchased, you'll have the option to create another Heroic Character. Only the first Heroic Character created after each purchase will start with platinum.

During the [[Heroic_Characters#Promotional_free_giveaway|free trial period]], players can have one Heroic Character on their account without paying any Daybreak Cash. If they try a class and decide they don't like it, they can delete it. They'll still be able to make another Heroic Character for free during the trial period. Every Heroic Character you create after the first won't start with platinum, so be a bit careful about deleting these.

After the trial period, if a player deletes their Heroic Character it works just like deleting ANY character on their account. It's just deleted. They won't get another free Heroic Character after 3/26/2014 (unless they offer these for free again in the future).

When you go to delete a Heroic Character that will can not be replaced you will get a warning, "Deleting CHARACTERNAME WILL NOT increment your available heroic character count. Are you sure? To confirm, type in CHARACTERNAME".

Heroic Characters are granted maximum ally faction, [[achievements]], and the AA Fervor of the Dark Reign (5/5) or Sanctity of the Keepers (5/5).  If you have any previous faction it will be changed.  [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq/index.php?threads/request-1166535-dark-reign-faction-previously-amiable-now-scowling.286998/page-2#post-4180859 The character's worshiped deity is what controls whether a Heroic Character is assigned good (Keepers) or evil (Dark Reign) faction].

New Heroic Characters start in a special new area in [[Feerrott, the Dream#Heroic Characters changes|Feerrott, the Dream]].  [[Feerrott, the Dream]] and the first two tiers of ''[[House of Thule]]'' have been adjusted to help new and returning players.

==First steps after upgrading==
== Quest ==
===AA's===
There is a new quest, designed to be soloable by Heroic Characters. It begins in Feerrott, the Dream and can only be done by Heroic Characters. The reward grants them access to Journeyman Tier 5 [[Mercenaries]].
*Go through ALL AA tabs (Inventory, Alt Adv.), and hotkey the ones that you are "hotkeyable".
*Not a bad idea, to write down on a sheet of paper what they do.  
*Advisable, to put them on different hotbars. , e.g. utility, travel, veteran rewards, combat enhancers (get out of a sticky situation etc.).
 
===UI===
*If you can, copy one over from another character (incl. socials etc.).
*Make a hotbar for your clickies (the heroic gear comes with a good few of them)


===Merc===
* [http://hot.eqresource.com/noheroismwithoutfear.php No Heroism Without Fear]
* Get a [[Mercenaries|Mercenary]]
* (Originally, you needed to complete the [https://hot.eqresource.com/noheroismwithoutfear.php No Heroism Without Fear] quest to unlock tier 5 mercenaries.  Since mercenary tiers have since been removed, this is no longer necessary.)


===Fighting===
In Feerott: The Dream, around the NPCs where heroic characters start are many "relatively weak" enemies you can use to practice your skills until you get comfortable.  Once you are comfortable, you should consider questing in Feerott and Lower House of Thule, as many of the quests there will grant additional augment rewards to heroic characters.
