March 5, 2014 - Heroic Characters!
« on: March 05, 2014, 11:06:14 PM »
Heroic Characters are coming to EQ sometime before the 15th Anniversary ends!

For accounts created before Nov 8, 2013, the free Heroic Character option is available one time per account.
For accounts created on or after Nov 8, 2013, the free Heroic Character option is available one time per household.

The per household will most likely be an IP check.

Heroic Character Notes:
-Come with a Raptor Mount
-2x 24 slot bags and 4x regular Backpacks in their bank
-Level 85
-Auto-granted AA up to UF
-Come with a Journeyman Tier 1 Merc (unless you are Bronze or Silver), there is also an exclusive quest in Feerrott to get a Journeyman Tier 5 Merc on completion of the Quest (Quest Guide will be on our site later before it goes live)
-Starts in Feerrott
-Gear wise they are just under HoT Tier 1 stuff (about 1-2 ac less, 50 hp/mana/end, -1 to -2 mod3s, etc): Stats/Items Unbuffed Magician (Malachite was bought though from Vendor)
-DoN AA Progression + MPG Trial Progression are completed
-All skills maxed except for Languages at 50/100, TS are at 25/300, your Specialization is picked for you, have to do the old quest to reset them if you want other ones
-You get all Rank 1 Spells up to Level 85
-Making a new Heroic Character: Choose toon regularly then hit the Heroic Character button, it will keep all origin, stats, looks, etc you picked
-Making an old toon a Heroic Character: Will simply level them up to Heroic Characters, can be done at character select with the Upgrade Character button
- Feerrott (HoT version) has been changed, around the Plane of Knowledge is now a safe area surrounded with NPC's that will memblur and send mobs that get close to their bind, most NPC's were moved to here as well (Maps will be updated sometime later before it goes live)

Just to be clear, Heroic Characters will not necessarily start with access to the use of J1 Mercs.

From Roshen (in a PM on Live Forums):

Heroic Characters shouldn't have access to any mercs that their membership doesn't grant them.

Thanks yea, limited due to your membership :), the quest would be useless for the most part for a Bronze or Silver since they couldn't use Journeyman tier 5 either unless they became gold!

Just some further clarification from Roshen:

Quote
Just so you're passing on correct info, the rank of Merc that a Heroic Character starts with depends on what membership status of that account.

Free players are given an apprentice tier 2 mercenary.
Silver players are given an apprentice tier 5 mercenary.
Gold players are given a journeyman tier 1 mercenary.

While all Heroic Characters have access to the quest you mention in the quote, you'll need to have a gold membership to actually be able to use the Journeyman Tier 5 Merc
