Similar to Druid, one of the decisions you'll want to consider at any time, but usually early on, is if you are interested in all the benefits that come with being a Werewolf. Werewolves melee combat used to be exceptionally good and while it still is great, has been nerfed somewhat. The survivability and utility that comes from making this life decision may also make leveling quicker and more enjoyable for many players. Also, werewolves get some great craftable armor and their forge is in an easier to use location than the Dwarven or Orcish forges.

The main drawback is arguably much more hefty than the Druid decision at present, however. For three days each month, the full moon will be out and you will be forced to play in Wolf form. While this change may seem like a small tradeoff, three days is a very long time for some players who play on a daily basis. This can hamstring any major projects, harvesting, or crafting you were planning on doing, especially if you needed to be in human form to do it.

I personally was told, and would also recommend, that if you want to play Werewolf, make a new character specifically for it. That way you can enjoy how it works without affecting your “main” character. I do know several players that “main” Werewolf though, and they are perfectly fine with it, they just have a secondary character for crafting skills in most cases.

If you do play Werewolf, I would also highly recommend a good guild with at least one high level Armorsmith and other Werewolf character that can help you.

Harry the Wolf is near Therese in the Serbule Garden area if you want to get bitten and become a wolf. He'll be your replacement for Joeh and Marna while in Animal form and will buy a lot of goods from you that you otherwise couldn't sell while forced to be in wolf form.

Also, just like with Druid and Animal Forms, I have little to no experience with Werewolf and it's possible there are other limitations that you should be aware of, so please confer with an existing Werewolf first before making this decision. Werewolf is currently the most restrictive and permanent decision you can make in the game as far as I know, so the decision should NOT be made lightly.
