CHARACTER CLASSES

There are sixteen total classes in EverQuest Legends. Each class belongs to one of four archetypes: casters, priests, melee, and hybrids.

There are no experience penalties for any specific class. EverQuest Legends also allows players to mix classes, creating custom class combinations and trio builds.
