The FAQ sections that discuss the Reset option are very out of date. I'd really like to see them stripped down to a bare minimum with links to the Settings page for more information.

Ideally, in general, we wouldn't be duplicating information in two or more places because it is too easy for it to get out of sync. Our natural reaction to HabitRPG changes is to update the specific pages that are related to those changes, and we tend to forget about the FAQ. If the FAQ became more of an overview (with "for more info..." links) and less of a detailed help area, this would be much less of a problem. It would also help to make the FAQ less overwhelming for new users to read! However I am not sure how widely-held this opinion is. :)

Here's the text from the Reset confirmation screen, which is accurate (although a bit incomplete):

"You will lose all your levels, gold, and experience points. All your tasks will be deleted permanently and you will lose all of your task's historical data. You will lose all your equipment but you will be able to buy it all back, including all limited edition equipment or subscriber Mystery items that you already own (you will need to be in the correct class to re-buy class-specific gear). You will keep your current class and your pets and mounts. You might prefer to use an Orb of Rebirth instead, which is a much safer option and which will preserve your tasks."

You do keep your eggs, potions, and food.

"Essentially, you would keep anything that could potentially have been bought with gems?" -- Yes, and that's the policy throughout HabitRPG. I don't think there's any exceptions. If there are, we want to know about them!

You do keep your current class. When you reset, your stats page shows the class you had before reset and the equipment store shows the gear for that class. When you reach level 10, you do NOT get to choose a class (reset is not a way to bypass paying gems for a class change, or to look at it another way, reset does not "steal" away from you the class that you might have already paid gems for). When your skills appear, they are the ones for the class you had before reset.

By the way, if you wanted to create a second account for yourself specifically for testing site features, that would be absolutely fine and none of the staff or developers would mind. I use my browser's incognito/private window to log in to my test account while my main account is logged in to a normal window.
