Everquest GoldEq2 Gold Guides

Ever seen the movie Powder? That flick about the odd albino like kid who constantly was hit by lightning…..and had resulting strange magical powers?

No? Here’s a pic of Mr. Powder himself…………

Have no fear, EQ2 does not feature mass quantities of Jeff Goldblum look alikes roaming the plains blasting goblins. The fellow I’m referring to is the frail, extremely pale and bald guy on the left. Folks, in all seriousness, "Powder" is the spitting image of an Erudite. If your goal in your virtual life is to look like that…….while wielding overwhelming intelligence and magical powers, then this race is for you!

Erudites as a race are extremely cold to others, and keep to themselves. They mostly concern themselves with improving their innate magical abilities, and figuring out ways to destroy the other races if needed. They are completely and totally obsessed with all things arcane and holy. They are….well…….odd!

Erudites can be of either a Good or Evil alignment. But personally I think they look pretty damn evil. Ask yourself, if you ran into an Erudite type fellow in a dark alley, or heck even a lighted alley wouldn’t you jump back a bit…or hell a lot? I definitely wouldn’t ask an Erudite for directions….but that’s just me.

One of the cool features of the race involves an Eruditian ability to sense "auras" around other magic users, easily identifying them as users of holy or arcane magics. This is called "Senese Aura". The name of this ability presented me with an unprecedented opportunity to bash the actor Gary Sinese, unfortunately I can’t think of anything outlandish about the fellow to bash him here in this public forum. Oh well saves me a slander lawsuit I guess.

But in all seriousness, if you want to be a hardcore magic user, whether it be a Mage or Priest…….and can stand looking like pretty much the strangest fellow in the game, Erudite is the way to go for you!
