Ratonga Swashie?

[Cratix]

I'm new to EQ2, like many others I've seen around lately I am a WoW convert. I really have been enjoying my Swashie, but I would love to play one as a Ratonga. I wasn't sure if this was possible, maybe by betrayal, or some other way? I know I can't start as a Swashie, but was thinking maybe a brigand till you betray? Or is it entirely not possible? Thanks for any info.

You would have to start off as a brigand, but there's no reason you couldn't later betray. I mean, other then you'd probably cause the servers to crash and the game implode by having a rat swashy  <img src="http://forums.station.sony.com/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

I use a petrified ratonga eye.

As RingleToo said you would have to start as brigand and then betray to the good side to become a swashbuckler. You can start the betrayal quest at level 10.For more information give a look at the <a href="http://eq2.wikia.com/wiki/Betrayal" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">betrayal timeline</a> in EQ2i.I am debating if I make my swashbuckler a ratonga to replace my current rat or make a troll one... Hmmm... Decisions, decisions.

honestly make a dark elf brigand and betray and just use the petrified eye

Thanks for the info all. I wasn't (still not) sure what the petrified eye is, so I just made a Ratonga Brigand, betrayed and ran over and over the defector quest. Now I'm happy to say, I'm a lvl 17 Ratonga Swashbuckler!Being new to the game, I had only been playing for about 3 days when I decided to do this undertaking, this was not the easiest thing to do. If I ever decide to do it again, I will have to look up the petrified eye. Again thanks to all of you for the info provided. Glad to have finally joined EQ2

i just made my Ratonga Brigand last night, haven't decided whether i'm gonna betray to a swashie yet or not, but i'm very glad i chose a rat as they've got some great racials for a rogue class (besides the fact that they're absolutely awesome looking).
