Race Change and Learned Motif Question

Seravi · May 2021

I wanted to change my DK who is currently a Bosmer. She is my one and only crafter who knows all the motifs, maxed in skills, etc. If I change her race will she lose all of her crafting knowledge?

I made this character the first day of early access seven years ago so she has a lot of knowledge to lose. I wanted to make sure that wouldn't happen if I changed her to say a Orc or something.

Thanks!!

No, you will not lose any character progress

I have done many race changes and you don't lose any knowledge or progress of that character.

Ah nice! Thanks!!!

You may have to learn the Bosmer motif, which she knew by default before and never actually "learned". But playable race motifs are dirt cheap, except maybe Imperial. But even Imperial is not that bad due to needing just 1 book instead of 14 pages.

Thanks for the info. What if my character is a WW, will she lose that on race change?

Werewolf has nothing to do with race, you're fine.

Everything will stay as is with the exception of having to re-add your racial passives. Points are refunded, so you didn't lose them, you just have to re-apply them.
