I'm just returning to the game after a 4-year break, and I noticed that the artificer class is not free to VIP. I could have sworn that it used to be free to VIP, and several friends of mine have told me that they didn't have to pay for it. Was there a change at some point, or are we all wrong about it being free to VIP (at some point)?

I don't think it was ever free for VIP.

It’s never been free to vip but it is unlockable via favor on a per server basis.

Like drow and Favored Soul, Artificer started out as a favor-only unlock which later got added to DDO Store. It was never free for VIPs.

Thank you all for the replies. They did clear up the confusion for me. I think my friends must have done the quests and had the adventure pack.
I appreciate the help.

NP, your friends did not communicate clearly.
Arti has gone on sale in the past, and there are some holiday sales just around the corner. Just fyi.

Nobody runs the raids any more (I think) so to get artificer without them you need to average about 3.2 stars from the Cannith challenges, 66 total. It's very doable even by soloing, I actually just did that a couple of days ago.
