Classes and Races

This page is for information about the character classes and races in EQ.

Races

 * Allakhazam's EQ:Races

On the Race Sizes, it appears (based on the Calling Phantasm raid) that the sizes are (smallest to largest):


 * Small, Elf, Human, Large

Changing race
It is possible to change your race if you pay real life money (Station Cash) to SOE. If you change your race the current quests in your journal will be cleared, as well as deity-specific spells, and your character's bind point will be set to Plane of Knowledge. Also, your new race must be one of the allowed races for your class.

Experience penalties
It appears that early in EverQuest there were penalties based on class and/or race. These have been removed as stated in this quote: When class and race penalties were removed early in EverQuest's life, this was handled by increasing how much experience those classes and races received. For example, an iksar shadowknight receives 60% more XP than a barbarian rogue, because it takes the iksar shadowknight 60% more XP to level.
