How do I get my caste?

Look for the blue crown on your map, that's the immigration quest. You'll visit site around the map for which Caste and then will be able to choose which you pick at an archway on a hill.

I finished this, why do I still see the blue crown?

If you have finished the Immigration Quest fully, the blue icon should vanish. Otherwise, it will point to your next location to visit. Each character can do this quest once.

How do I turn into (shapeshift)?

There are items available from the magic shops for each Caste to transform. You only need one of them. Click it in your inventory to change to and from. If you picked Nythari as your caste, you can take on the form of a local NPC by using the /clone command.

I'm stuck!

Try t/stopaction or t/stopanim if you find yourself stuck, like staring at a collectable card while a shop prompt means you can't put the card away.

Can I change my mind about the caste I picked?

If, for what ever reason, you wish to change your caste then you can open up a Lore Ticket to request a change. However, only certain changes will be allowed within reason. Information about the details of who can become what can be found on the Caste FAQ page.

At the end of the day, make sure you are informed when creating a new character and stick with your decision as some choices are harder to undo than others. If in doubt, humans have the best pick of the litter and should be strongly considered when picking a caste.

My character doesn't look like I wanted, what can I do?

Go to the second chance store in Blackwater and you can return to character creation to make changes.

Note: These changes should not be drastic and should only be made to alter your character’s appearance within good reason. If you are not a Nythari doppelganger then you are unable to completely change your look!
