    One thing to remember if you do opt for the race change is that your appearance will probably be a bit random... for example, the same hair style on a nord character will not be the same on a high elf. The one time I did a character race change I instantly regretted it because then i had to buy an appearance change token to change the appearance as they looked ... well... pretty random!

    You get to change your appearance with a race change. I've done it before.

    If I have to buy a token to change my appearance I won't do it.plus I will have to change my characters name to since it's a Nord name that means I will have to buy race name and appearance tokens I googled Nord names to name my character when I first made it.

    Make another character. You have no idea if they're going to change the way a race is set up and just pay to change it again. This is the beauty of having more than one character: You can adapt to the strange changes that occur in an MMO.

    Maybe what I can do is just make another character probably more simple but take longer to unlock the skills

    My personal threshold would be the number skill points acquired, mount training, trait research and things of that nature that take time to do. I feel like the levels, even above 50, are mostly irrelevant because the CPs are shared.

    I personally only find race change to be worth it over leveling a new character if the achievements invested in a character are worth holding onto. My main, for example, does all of my questing, crafting motif learning, and achievement hunting. I will never delete it. But I did go for a race change from dark elf to high elf on it.

    All of my other characters I will just delete and start over if I want to get a different race. Nothing on them that matters in terms of achievements or crafting.

    I didn't know there was a dark elf race I really never went through all the races I've always played a Nord even in Skyrim but I guess that's my choice I just really never thought about trying different race. I remember seeing them on Skyrim unless that Was a mod to add the dark elf race.

    Totally worth it. You can change all your toons to Orc. For the dashing great looks and the speed running bonus. They’re the most overpowered race in the game by far.

    I always thought orcs were heavy and slow because alot of the males I've seen NPCs are big and slow. I do like to move fast and run away from things i don't feel like fighting.

    You have to question whether you'd be willing to spend £20 to save the time of re-doing what that character has done.

    For example my main was a Breton StamBlade which had collected over 100 skyshards, fully levelled and researched all crafts & completed many achievements. In this case I deemed £20 to be more than worth having to do all of that again.

    However I wouldn't spend £20 on a character which has just levelled to <50 and not done anything else as that can easily be achieved in less than half a day. If this character had done a lot of other stuff then maybe it would be worth it.

    Yea the crowns I got saved up is for one of the limited houses that go for sale I hope to get missed out on the ship home but I think I start a new character and keep my Nord. I can make 7 more. I'm also on PC so I can have twice the characters. But I got plus on my Xbox

    @Cpt_Teemo Does the character that turns in the writ have to be the one who made the item?

    If y'all just wanna be Ricky Bobby, Fiord's from Eastmarch plus Darkstride from Rivenspire will get 'er done.

    Y'all can sprint nearly forever with that setup right there.
