== {{msg:BASEPAGENAME}} Overview==
A [[Lycanthropy|Lycanthrope]]'s [[Beast Forms|Beast form]] makes for a very powerful animal form. '''You'll be able to change to and from it wolf form at will''', with the following limitations:* You Characters with Lycanthropy may become a wolf at any given momenttime, but instantly. However, to become humanoid (or your alternate beast form) again, wolves must kill a certain number of enemies before their beast spirit will resist turning back now allow them to humanoid form until you've killed enough enemies (the un-transform. The higher your Lycanthropy level, the less kills fewer enemies you'll require). Currentlyneed to kill to un-transform, until at Lycanthropy level 53(Potentially lower) lycanthropes may turn to , you can switch back and from wolf form forth without having to shed any bloodkilling.* During the full moon, you will be Lycans are forcefully turned into your beast wolf form, and won't be able to turn back until it's all overcannot un-transform for the three days of the full moon. This happens once every lunar month, matching the RL real life moon cycles. If your Lycanthropy-infected character was not in wolf form and offline when the full moon began, for during the full moon you will be transformed into the default brown-fur wolf form immediately upon logging in. If you have unlocked and want to be in the Winter Wolf or Dark Wolf form during the full moon, you need to be in that form ''before'' the three first days of it straightfull moon phase begins.* Remember that turning into a lycanthrope Lycanthrope is a '''PERMANENT CHARACTER ALTERATION THAT CANNOT BE UNDONE''' and '''won't will NEVER be made reversible''' either(the developers have ''repeatedly'' confirmed this). This means For this reason, it is highly advised you'll have access to carefully consider the benefits pros and cons before making the skillset hasdecision. For three days every month, Lycans are forced to play as a wolf, and several NPCs and vendors will not speak to wolves. Some can be persuaded to speak with wolves after a particular bribe or a short quest, but a few will not offer any options at all. This situation can by mitigated by using an alternate character and the ability transfer chest to sell items or by finding similar vendors in other zones who will speak to you or have a wolf bribe quest. ===Advantages===*Lycanthropy is one of the only few animal forms that can shift between your normal in and out of their humanoid or alternate beast form at any moment out of the will (except during full moonmoons).And the transformation is instantaneous.*The [[Beast Metabolism]] ability, in which you can consume the corpses of your defeated enemies rather than burying them, provides a unique temporary health regeneration buff and, when leveled, significant boosts in overall [[Metabolism]]. but will also be stuck *The [[Howling]] ability, which grants health regeneration boosts and damage boosts—a buff which can last for up to five hours if the howling is done with its downsides from there onadditional howling wolves present.*During the full moon you have unique quest objectives that serve as an interesting alternative to typical skill progression. Because of this*Like all beast forms, it's highly advised to carefully consider Lycans (when in wolf form) can learn and use the pros [[Warden]] combat skill.*Wolves can wear and cons before making the decisionbenefit from crafted wolf-specific metal armor (see [[Armorsmithing]]).

=== The Full Moon ===
* During a real life full Moon You players will be stuck as a werewolf. If you players are in white wolf form before the full moon you still stay in this form which is preferable due to the form's cold weather mitigation.
* If you wolves try to change forms during the full moon you they will be stuck as the default brown wolf. Players can not change from normal wolf form to white wolf form during the event.
* The full moon is an event. Make your way Go to [[Kur Mountains]] zone and enter the [[Wolf Cave]] at the Far north and center of the map. Directly Inside the cave is an [[Altar of Norala]]. Completing the altar quests will earn tokens. These tokens disappear if not used during the current full moon. They unlock permanent buffs like 50-60 lycanthrope, 60-70 lycanthrope, and dark wolf form or unlock month long buffs like +%damage, +health, +armor and the coveted +12 run speed bonus buff.
* It is advisable to unlock the dark wolf form last. The number of tokens is limited by the number of quests. Unlocking the level caps and werewolf abilities should be a priority since tokens are "time gated" by the full moon.
*The tokens must be used during the full moon or they will disappear.
*The Boons and Runspeed buffs that are unlocked with tokens will last until the next Real Life full moon.
Please go to the [[Altar of Norala]] page for more information
=== Riding ===As a [[Beast Forms|Beast Form]], [[Lycanthropy|Lycanthropes]] are not able to use the traditional Horse mounts offered through [[Riding]]. Instead, [[Sanja]] in [[Kur Mountains]] teaches the wolf mount-form to Lycan players who are at least level 30 in Lycanthropy. ''Hunting Speed'' (1 through 3) are now Wolf mount abilities (they used to be sidebar abilities), and are activated in the usual way at the''Run Speed:' Altar of Norala'''each month at Full Moon.
Completing a quest with [[Jace Soral]] to defeat [[Bleddyn]] the werewolf will grant you the following alternative shapeshifting ability:

== Trivia ==
* Lycanthropy has no cure!There will never, ever be a cure. Be 100% certain you want your character to be a Lycan before committing to it. ==Notes==[[Sanja]] can unlock [[Lycanthropy]] levels 51-60 and 61-70 for councils. Alternatively (and rather less expensively), these level unlocks are also available at the [[Altar of Norala]] during the full moon for task reward tokens. Similarly, [[See Red 6]] and [[See Red 7]] are also available from Sanja for councils, or from the [[Altar of Norala]] during the full moon for tokens. You may want to schedule your training options accordingly. If your character is a [[Druid]] and can transform into a deer, assuming it is not the full moon, you can use that to speak freely with NPCs who will speak with animals but are afraid of scary wolves. Transforming directly from wolf to deer (and back again) still counts as being in continuous beast form in terms of the 3-hour in-game beast form status required to speak to most [[Animal Town]] residents. ([[Druid]] bird forms also work.)
