'''Turning into a Lycanthrope is a PERMANENT CHARACTER ALTERATION. Even though this is Alpha, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO REMOVE THIS CURSE. EVER.'''

|maxlevel = 8090

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:* Characters with Lycanthropy Players may become a wolf at any given momenttime, instantly. In order However, to become human humanoid (or your alternate beast form ) again, wolves must kill a certain number of enemies before their beast spirit will now allow them to un-transform. The higher your Lycanthropy level the wolf, the less fewer enemies they you need to kill to un-transform. At , until at Lycanthropy level 53 enemies are no longer required to transform , you can switch back into Human formand forth without any killing.* During the full moon, Werewolves Lycans are forcefully turned into wolf beast form and won't be able to turn back into human form cannot un-transform for 3 the three daysof the full moon. This happens once every lunar month, matching the real life moon cycles. If your Lycanthropy-infected character was not in wolf form and offline when the full moon began, 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 full 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'''(the developers have ''repeatedly'' confirmed this). Because of For thisreason, it's is highly advised to you carefully consider the pros and cons before making the decision. For three days every month werewolfs , Lycans are forced to play as a werewolfwolf, and several NPCs and vendors will not speak to wolves. Many vendors Some can be bribed persuaded to work speak with wolves after a particular bribe or a short quest , but a few will not talk to a wolf or give them a bribe questoffer any options at all. This situation can by mitigated by using an alternate character with and the transfer chest to sell items, or by finding similar vendors in other zones who will speak to you or have a wolf bribe quest.

*Lycanthropy is one of the only few animal forms that can shift in and out of their humanoid or alternate beast form at will (except during full moons). And the transformation is instantaneous.

*You cannot chop wood or milk cows while in wolf form.(Again, having a humanoid alternate character to deal with these matters when you are in wolf form can be handy, pun intended.)*Secondary combat skills while in wolf form are limited to [[Animal Handling]], [[Mentalism]], [[Necromancy]], [[Priest]], [[Psychology]], [[Unarmed]], or [[Warden]] because all the other combat skills require a specific enabling held weapon. Weapons for other skills are not recognized as being equipped while in wolf form, although any bonuses or mods on the primary or secondary weapon items do still apply.
