More on that Class Reset Quest

It seems that ever since the new Inquisitor trainer in Qeynos prematurely offered the ability to reset any class to Inquisitor, players have let their imaginations run wild with the possibilities of switching between classes without losing their AAs, completed quests, etc. Imagine a character who has completed all 24 epic weapon quests!

Just to nip this idea in the bud, EQ2 Lead Designer Rich Waters has clarified further the purpose of this quest — to aid Tradeskillers who made a hasty choice on their adventure class and have not significantly advanced that character.

While the exact parameters of the Class Reset Quest, as we are calling it, have not been laid out, and there is still some internal discussion on the EQ2 team about this, here’s what Mr. Waters has posted on the subject:

The only new class change being considered is intended to help established crafters who want to reset their adventure class. If we add this, it will be as an in-game quest.

This is based on an existing feature in game – if you have a high-level adventurer, you can reset your crafting class to level 9 and pick a different one. So if you’ve got a level 90 monk and wish he was a carpenter instead of whatever you originally picked, you can reset your tradeskill level to 9 and level up as a carpenter, without affecting your adventure class at all.

and further…

The goal is to provide an option for players who’ve put a lot of investment into their crafting class, and not as much into their adventure class and don’t mind essentially starting the adventurer over as long as they keep their crafter intact.

This change wouldn’t be for people who’ve put a whole lot of time into their adventuring class.

Myth Busting…

And just to bust some myths. At the present time, this is not planned as a StationCash potion or in-game potion, but a quest, similar to the existing tradeskill class reset available in West Freeport and North Qeynos from the Tradeskill Career Advisor.
