Druid Questions

I have a few questions around Druid that I can't seem to find on the Wiki...

• What makes the Druid skill a "PERMANENT CHARACTER ALTERATION"?
• How is this different than Archery?
• What are the current drawbacks to becoming Druid?

Thanks!

Its permanent because you cant un-druid and even if you don't have the druid skill active you are still tied to the druid emergency's and will not earn any xp in combat or crafting until the event has finished - this is also classed as the main drawback.
Its different to archer as you don't need arrows ???? not really sure on how to answer that one lol

What's the Druid Emergency's?
I've heard of Druid Events, but not following what those are either.
The Archery example wasn't very clear, sorry about that. My curiosity is how is "becoming" a Druid different than other Combat Skills (other than the obvious of Arrows and such)?

They're things which druids have to go do.

Most recently, invasions of horrible creatures which are difficult for the high-level players to mob and kill. Like, seriously, my level 40 character just has to run when they show up.

Druids do not need to attend this events, you just so happen to make no xp during it, I've skipped a few since I was tied up doing something else but for most part events are quickly resolved all is back to normal, attending will score you 16 drevas points.

Note that it could change in the future. Silvonis warned us they might consider penalizing druids that just skip druid events more. (Sorry, I can't find the reference.)

Hope not, when I agreed to be a druid it was based per say on current bonus/ penalties if they planning to change things they are going to give people a chance to abort the druid thing if they wishing to, can't tear up a contract and rewrite it without getting a signature again.

You are playing a game that is in development, and that means things are subject to change. When you make a permanent choice you are subject to those changes and that has always been the case.

So you're saying the "permanent choice" thing could change? :p

The game is still in Alpha, many things can and, in some cases, will change.
I've played for a few weeks now and I've considered Druid, but I'm going to stay away from it for now, at least until I can level a nice handful of skills to 50.
