Just something I found out yesterday, thought I might share it.

And, there is no "heroic character" section in the Wiki? I searched, but couldn't find anything (I might just be a tad stoopid, though)

anyway...

- You can delete your (paid) heroic characters
- And then you can create a new heroic character, even on a different server

use case:
- You have an heroic character on Povar.
- You don't play that character anymore
- You have friends on Drinal
- So delete the one on Povar, and create a new one on Drinal


Notes:
- more info at https://www.everquest.com/news/heroic-character-faq
- In case you log in, and have no heroic gear, just camp and log in again. Then the "reward" window will pop up with the gear

- Careful: Only "PAID FOR" heroic characters are eligible, not the "free upgrade" ones. If you delete a "free upgrade" one, you might kick yer behind for quite some time ;-)

I haven't deleted a heroic yet but it is my understanding that the cash and bayle marks they start with only appear on the original character.

correct.


Also it is a bit dirty, if you have a pending heroic you haven't claimed and delete one... it will use the "virgin" one, thus using up the bayle marks and cash.



I don't recall ever buying one, I have repeatedly deleted the two I have.

Don't think I have ever hit level 86 on one of them.

I didn't realize that the free ones could be deleted. Theoretically you could reroll any heroic as any class, cast your buffs, then move to the next class and repeat every day? I say theoretically because no one in the current game cares a whit about level 85 buffs.

Well, Daybreak games states, that the free ones can be deleted, but not rerolled.

Below also an email exchange I had with a GM. If someone wants to make atest, go ahead, I won't, hehe...

It looks like "character 1" is the Trial Heroic Character on this account. Deleting "Character 1" will not grant another Heroic Character claim. "character 2" is the Heroic Character which can be deleted, to have the feature returned to your account for another use.

Makes you wonder why they went to such extra effort just to segregate heroic character source seeing as how it would be much easier to code them all the same. But Snailish is saying exactly the opposite, that you can reroll a free heroic. It's just confusing.

If I'm remembering correctly, the very 1st round of free heroics (~3 years ago maybe?), there was an end date to claim your free heroic. If you created one before that date, you could delete it and make a new one, as long as it was still before that date. Once that date passed (which it has, yeas ago), then you couldn't delete and re-create any more.

Perhaps that's what Snailish was thinking of.

Not that it really matters, but the first heroic giveaway was late 2012 or very early 2013.

as per Fanra it was March 2014.

For players that created an EverQuest Heroic Character between Wednesday, March 12 and Wednesday, March 26, 2014 (due to an issue it was extended by one day) Thursday, March 27th, 2014 at 11:59PM PDT., the first Heroic Character each player creates was free.

My memories betray me!

I've got maybe six or seven Silver accounts. In addition i've an old 1999 EQ1 account and one more separate 2008 EQ2 account. Yet I only rolled one heroic (warrior) on a Silver account. So, question being; why I didn't roll a free heroic per account? I would've if I could've.


I swear I've not logged that account since 3/2013.

It's entirely possible that I somehow had 3 heroic characters and in my happy deleting have lost one.

Presently I can repeatedly delete 2 and recreate them.

Pretty sure one came with an expac edition of some sort. I was thinking the other one was the original freebie, but then again maybe I was silly* and bought one for some reason --don't remember doing that, but don't want to talk someone into deleting something they lose.



*silly because I personally never play them for even a level


Ironically, if I could start at level 50 naked I would totally play such characters.

<---- Silly, too

I have a total of 11 Heroics, over several accounts, and have never dinged 86 on any of them!

Only one is paid, and that was with SC that I got for free (500 at a time), so my motivation is low, it's more like having a collection :)

The one free per account ones that came from the recentish Anniversary (was it the 17th?) were specifically "the same as if you bought them". And could be rerolled. There were official posts about this.

I wasn't around for the "trial" Heroics.
