Character creation | The Beginnings WildStar Guide

Character creation, in Wildstar is relatively easy, because you do not select any skills, nor do you distribute any statistics points.

You can even create a nice lady like this one

Factions to the conflict and the races

Right after you click on the "Create a New Character" button, you will access the creation window. At the very beginning, you need to decide which side of the conflict you want to embrace. You can select:

Exile - they are rebels by nature and they want to make a new home for themselves, on Nexus.

Dominion - they rule half of the galaxy and they are technologically advanced.

What makes this choice important is the fact that you cannot make friends with the enemies, after you choose either side. Of course, the Exiles start off in a different location that in the Dominion.

Then, you get to choose your race. The races themselves provide no bonuses to the individual statistics or skills but, classes are specific to these races. Each faction has four playable races, which differ mainly in visual terms.

The relations of races to classes are as follows:

Exile

Human - Esper, Medic, Spellslinger, Warrior, Engineer, Stalker

Aurin - Esper, Spellslinger, Stalker

Granok - Medic, Warrior, Engineer

Mordesh - Medic, Spellslinger, Warrior, Engineer, Stalker

Dominion

Cassian - Esper, Medic, Spellslinger, Warrior, Engineer, Stalker

Chua - Esper, Medic, Spellslinger, Engineer

Mechari - Medic, Warrior, Engineer, Stalker

Draken - Spellslinger, Warrior, Stalker

Classes and Paths

After you choose your race, you have to select your class. Depending on which race you have selected, you get a specific set of classes. This means that you cannot be an Aurin Warrior, because the developers blocked off the option (Humans select from among all the classes).

They have been developed in such a way, as to perform one of two roles. Everyone can be a DPS and deal considerable damage in combat but, additionally, three of the classes can perform the role of the tank or of the medic.

The following can be a tank:

• Warrior
• Engineer
• Stalker

The following can be a medic:

• Medic
• Spellslinger
• Esper

The next window is the Path selection, which you want to select for your character. There are four to choose from (to learn more, see the chapter entitled "Paths"):

• Soldier
• Settler
• Scientist
• Explorer

The options to determine the looks are not too developed, but everyone will find something for themselves

The final step is to determine the looks of your character. In the case of the majority of options, you will be able to select one of the variants, of the available elements, such as the ears, skin color or hair color. After this step, you can click on "Accept", enter the character's name and access the game world.
