Races — pick your permanent XP bonus.

Every character picks one race, which grants a permanent passive XP bonus. Five races each pair two related skills for a +5% bonus to both (Dwarf: Mining + Smithing; Elf: Gathering + Tailoring; Goblin: Mining + Jewelcrafting; Gnome: Gathering + Alchemy), Orc and Witch each specialize in a single skill (Combat and Spellcrafting) for +5%, and Human instead spreads a smaller +1% bonus across every skill, including Combat — which also applies to Zone Control hits, since Zone Control damage counts toward the Combat skill.

Race is chosen once and is permanent unless you use a Race Change — a one-time-use item available in the in-game supporter store for $5, or occasionally granted free as a reward. A Race Change lets you pick any race again from scratch.
