There is a bug in form ending cancel of actions. If you are auto running (R) and your elite form ends (Balthazar, of which I noticed), you stop. However, if u just change your direction of camera/movement with the right click of your mouse and mouse movement, your character resumes running...Krothal 18:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Is that the full list of forms? Isn't there an elementalist form too? 85.76.226.152 12:24, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh wait it isn't a form after all... :P 85.76.226.152 12:27, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

yep. Nor is the Assassin skill with form in it's name. Backsword 13:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

War about the Wurm Form? Shouldn't that be listed here since infact it is pretty much the same thing as the seige devorour?

didn't sign sorry --Swept Into Night 12:04, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Added columns "Profession" and "Campaign" to the table. --Slavic 12:59, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Example Video[edit]

While under a bridge...[edit]

I noticed if someone is under a bridge while activating or coming out of a form, they're invisible. No attacking glitches or anything like that, just can't see them. (Only happens if your camera is at a certain angle). Blessed Spectre 02:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Multiple Forms at a Time?[edit]

Can you be under the effects of more than one form at a time? Or does a new one cancel the old one (a la stance, preparation, glyph, weapon spell)? --50.72.134.118 05:22, 9 September 2011 (UTC)

You can be under the effect of two tonic forms (but you'll only see the second).
It's very difficult to be in a position where you could invoke a second form while under the effects of another:
  • The festival forms completely transform your skill bar, so there's no opportunity to do this during holidays.
  • The elite norn forms remove all existing effects, preventing you from keeping existing forms and from invoking subsequent ones. Plus, the equivalent blessings during EotN missions are skills and not forms.
  • The dervish forms are elite, so the only way of having two on your skill bar is after capping.
  • During The Flight North, you are disguised as Gwen (which this wiki calls a form) and can also use Feign Death or Hide, two other forms. While we can split hairs about whether this counts as two simultaneous forms or not, as a practical matter, while feigning death or hiding, you are limited in what you can do.
  • Finally, while under a tonic form in an explorable area, using a Dervish avatar transforms you into the relevant form.
Shorter story: it's kind of moot really, but all evidence suggests that the last invoked form takes precedence. – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 00:36, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Though this is very nit-picky (and rather off topic), it may be of relevance somewhen: You actually can get two dervish forms into your bar (or in general any dervish form in addition to another elite) beside capping it. Bring Arcane Mimicry, a hero with Simple Thievery and go ahead to annoy the respective dervish boss :) –User ARTy sig.png 00:44, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
Ach, I didn't think of that. Very on-topic, I should think. (Well, the bit about annoying derv bosses is off, but the double-form skillbar is definitely on.)
The main point remains, though: the circumstances in which one might possibly have a two-form skill bar are tiny, unlike stances/preps/glyphs (where it's easy to have several on the bar). – Tennessee Ernie Ford (TEF) 01:31, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
