Leveling
Leveling won't follow a traditional linear path, although classic mechanics for leveling exist.[1]
- Progression occurs through a variety of pathways.[2]
- Repetition will not be part of progression in Ashes of Creation.[3]
Class progression
Class progression in Ashes of Creation proceeds as follows:[4]
- Players receive skill points as they level. These can be used to level up skills within their skill tree.[9]
- It will not be possible to max all skills in a skill tree.[9]
- A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25.[4][5] The combination of primary and secondary archetypes is referred to as a class.[5][8][10]
- The secondary archetype does not provide additional skills.[11]
- Secondary archetypes may be changed, but not "on-the-fly".[7][12]
- The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.[5][6]
- Class progression does not relate to a player's artisan progression.[13]
- World events do not directly impact class effectiveness but there may be ancillary effects in terms of availability of equipment, enchantments or tattoos.[14]
Classes by archetype combination
With 8 Archetypes to combine, players may choose from 64 total combinations to create their class.[5][8][10]
Class abilities
Primary skills (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.[18][6]
- A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25.[4][5] The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.[18][4][5][6][19]
- Outside of class-specific skills there may be a subset of universal skills, such as active block and dodge.[20]
- Class skills are not affected by the type of weapon that is equipped.[21]
- Primary skills in Alpha-2 are expected to be very different to those in Alpha-1.[22]
Rested experience
Taverns offer rested experience (rested XP) for those who rent rooms or spend time as patrons of the tavern.[23][24]
- Rested experience allows players to gain experience at a faster rate for a period of time.[24]
- There are no current plans to replace rested experience with another bonus for max-level players.[25]
- Rested experience increases the rate that experience debt is paid back.[26]
