Racial Traits

Racial Traits are race-specific bonuses you equip on your character. They are not the same as Skills (Hunting, Smithing, Farming, Seafaring, Animal Taming). Skills rise with practice; racial traits are a fixed pool unique to your race that you choose and equip.

Open them from the Character screen → Racial Traits.

How they work

• You may equip up to 4 racial traits at once from your race's pool.
• Trait slots unlock with level:

• Equip, unequip, and reorder by drag and drop.
• Saving a new equipped set costs 1000 gold once (reordering alone is free).
• Changing race clears your equipped racial traits.
• Death always clears your equipped racial traits, even if you Rebirth through a house.

Epic story unlocks

Some of the strongest traits in each race's pool stay locked until you advance the Epic Quests storyline. Claim the chapter rewards from certain books to permanently add those traits to your pool. Until then, they appear greyed out on the Racial Traits screen.
