Gear
Gear (weapons and armor) has approximately a 40-50% influence on a player's overall power in the game.[3] This ratio will likely change over time as characters progress through various systems.[4]
- Weapons and armor are not class locked, but certain classes are more efficient with certain types of weapons or armor.[2][5][6][7]
- There are no stat requirements for equipping gear, but there are affiliation and level requirements.[8][9][10]
- We have level requirements that are going to be applicable for particular types of gears. There's going to be affiliation requirements for certain types of gear as well; but from a stat perspective we decided not to go down that route; and the only reason for that is we don't want to shoehorn people into particular types of builds; and stats relate to those particular types of builds because there's a lot of versatility that exists within our class system. They don't have to play it per-se and that lends itself to a meta. It's like, oh you're a tank where you have to tank constitution and if you don't take constitution you don't get access to this really cool tank breastplate. You know stuff like that. It can feel a little too restrictive when you start to dictate from a stat perspective how a player must build their character.[8] – Steven Sharif
- Specific and necessary crafting materials for higher tier items can only be obtained through the deconstruction of lower-tier items. This is designed to keep lower tier crafted gear relevant through progression and across expansions.[11]
- The bulk of a weapon's power comes from its crafting recipe and the materials used in its construction.[12]
- A big component of gear usefulness or relevancy, as either you're progressing or as expansions come out or whatnot, is that there is a deconstruction method associated with gear; and that deconstruction can provide very specific and necessary crafting materials that can only be achieved through deconstruction of certain types of gears. And then additionally as we consider expansions and additional itemization paths and tiers going forward, all gear is going to remain relevant within the tiers that they exist. So from a progression standpoint, as you achieve access to different types of tiers, those gears are still going to have relevancy within that tier.[11] – Steven Sharif
- Certain higher-end weapons and armor will have active abilities, but the intention is that these abilities will not radically redefine the way an archetype is played.[13]
- Active skills that do get associated with certain types of pieces of armor and/or weapons: those will be much on the higher-end if they're an active ability that comes with those things. But I still don't think that the intended impact of those types of abilities is for us to radically redefine the way a particular archetype might play.[13] – Steven Sharif
- Gear is acquired from a number of different sources, such as quests, drops, crafting, legendary bosses, guild-oriented tasks, favor, and unique currencies.[14]
- Gear is not subject to inventory weight limits.[15]
- Players may access their gear and other completed items in warehouses at any node, regardless of citizenship or housing ownership.[16][17][15]
- Q: Could you explain in detail what you mean by 50% of player power when talking about gear influence on player power?
- A: That's just a general allocation of what players can expect to pursue when enhancing their player character power. Now obviously, the distribution and ratio of those types of influences, whether it be itemization, whether it be level, whether it be, augments choices, and/or skill tree choices: those influences and ratios change through the leveling curve. So, at lower levels your character level is going to be more influential over character power than itemization will be, but at endgame or higher levels, or at the end of the adventuring level progression, that's when itemization really gets an emphasis for its ratio of player power.[4] – Steven Sharif
Gear types
Ashes of Creation is a PvX game. Players will naturally encounter both PvP and PvE elements.[20][19][21][22] It is unlikely that a player could purely focus on just PvP or just PvE.[19][18][21][22]
- Ashes is a PvX game; and so in that regard, your ability to wholesale disconnect from the PvP elements of the game are likely not going to be entirely successful. Now, does that mean that you can reduce your exposure to PvP? A hundred percent; and there are multiple play paths and progression points that players can elect instead to be more PvE focused, but by the sheer nature of risk-versus-reward, and risk including not being able to predict how other players might impact your gameplay, that is an element of the innate risk that exists in the multiplayer environment of a PvX setting. So, not everybody is going to like that and we accept that; and we're not trying to build a game that everybody is going to like, because everybody it's doing that is not going to be successful, because there're just people with different interests; and you know we accept that and we're very on the nose about what we're trying to achieve. The idea is not to create a gank fest, is not to create a grief fest. That is not what PvX is; and so because of that we have certain mechanisms and systems that govern the way players engage in PvP and the majority of those are opt-in, but there is always that element of risk that's governed by the flagging system. And so, if you're interested in that I would take a look at the Wiki and look up what flagging is, and look up what corruption is. My experience tells me- and my expectations of the system are that they will signal significantly reduce a player's exposure to non-consensual PvP, but that risk is always going to be present to some degree.[20] – Steven Sharif
- A defining principle of Ashes of Creation as a PvX game is that PvE builds the world, and PvP changes the world.[23]
- Around 80% of the content is open-world, where healthy competition is an instigator for player friction; for potential cooperation; for the ability to yield alliances; and the political theater that comes with it. This is an intended part of the PvX game design.[24][25][26][27][28]
- There won't be separate PvE and PvP server realms but some servers may be more PvP focused than others.[20][21][29]
- We're very clear with our objective and philosophy on the game and we understand that they may not appeal to everybody. But it is an important reciprocal relationship between the content that's related to PvE and the content that's related to PvP and they feed off of each other. They're catalysts for change: Their progression, their development. It's things that people can value when they see something earned and they see something lost. That elicits an emotional response from the player: That they've invested time in to either succeed or fail; and PvP allows for that element to be introduced into gameplay. And we're very clear that is our objective: That risk versus reward relationship, that achievement-based mentality. Not everybody's going to be a winner and that's okay.[28] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be different PvP and PvE gear types.[31]
Weapon types
Different weapon types offer different passive skills and proc effects from their weapon skill trees as well as different waterfall stats.[33]
- Axes (One and two handed).[34]
- Bows (Longbows and shortbows).[35][34]
- Clubs.[36]
- Daggers.[34]
- Hammers.[37][38]
- Lances.[39]
- Maces (One and two handed).[35][34]
- Orbs.[40][34]
- Polearms/Halberds.[34]
- Scepters.[41]
- Spears (One and two handed).[35][42][43]
- Spellbooks.[35][40][34]
- Staves.[34]
- Swords (One and two handed).[35][34][44]
- Wands.[35][40][45]
Offhand items, such as shields, do not have weapon skill trees.[46]
The following weapon types are not equippable by players.
- Crossbows will not be in the MMO.[47][48]
- Previously crossbows were present in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[49][50]
- Potion launchers will only be able to be used as ship attachments in the MMO.[51][52]
- Previously potion launchers were present in Ashes of Creation Apocalypse.[50][53]
There is an even split between melee and ranged weapons.[34]
Armor types
Armor types in Ashes of Creation.
- Helmets.[56]
- Shoulders.[57]
- Cloaks/Capes.[58][59]
- Chest armor.[60]
- Wrists.[61]
- Gloves.[57]
- Belts.[57][62]
- Pants.[57]
- Boots.[61]
Armor characteristics
Light, medium, and heavy armor weights have different characteristics.[65]
- Stat values will be predominately the same but may be able to be adjusted by crafters who are capable with that type of armor.[65]
- The stat values on armor can include both damage dealing and damage mitigation stats.[64]
- Certain armor types are going to have certain type of predominant stat values. So there's going to be certain waterfall stats and/or certain primary attributes that are available on certain armor types; and then if you want to have the one that's not more prominently available- those will be rare to get- you'll have to elicit the services of a crafter who's very capable within that particular type of armor in order to get the non-traditional stats and/or waterfalls available. So there's still the ability to get whatever on these but they're going to be more predetermined for certain types of stats and waterfalls.[65] – Steven Sharif
- Set bonuses are granted to wearers of exclusively one "type" of armor, for example: all cloth, or all plate.[65][65][66]
- There'll be certain types of set bonuses granted across specific full sets or partial sets of armor types. There will be a similar function in how damage is mitigated based on the type of armor you're wearing and how that relates to physical or magical incoming damage. So that's something to keep in mind. It's going to be situational what type of adversarial foe am I facing and what armor is the best against that to mitigate damage.[65] – Steven Sharif
- The "type" of armor (cloth, leather, plate) a character is predominantly wearing is visible in their nameplate.[65][67]
- There will be strengths and weaknesses for armor sets that opponents can exploit with gear enhancements, for example.[65]
- You're going to have certain strengths and weaknesses of armor sets and those can be specced into by your opponents. For example, I might place some type of elemental enhancements on my weapon that horizontally changes my outgoing damage and that's going to reflect based on the opponent on my target opponent and what type of armor they have available to them to counter that.[65] – Steven Sharif
- Itemization choice may potentially play into universal skill sets such as Dodge, Parry, and Active blocking.[65]
- We're playing a little bit with the idea of these universal skill sets, such as dodge, parry, block, active blocking, stuff like that; and progression within those areas. There is something to be said I think for incorporating itemization choice as part of that system as well; and how it might affect that system. That's something that I think is going to be coming up in the pitch phase here shortly from design as we implement those universal skills. So you can look out in the future for more information on that.[65] – Steven Sharif
Gear slots
There are multiple gear slots in Ashes of Creation.[69]
- 3 Belt slots.[69]
- 1 Mainhand slot equips a player's primary weapon.[70][74][75][76][77][73]
- 1 Offhand slot can equip shields, spell focuses, sigils, and dual weapons.[70][78][73]
- 1 Potion/Pouch/Scroll slot.[72][79]
- 8 Armor slots.[69][80]
- 5 Jewelry slots.[69]
- 3 Artisan gear slots.[83][69][84]
- 1 Artisan tool slot is used to equip gathering tools.[85]
- There may be a specific slot for musical instruments, but this has not been finalized yet.[86]
- Previously it was stated there were 16 gear slots.[80]
- Gear is not subject to inventory weight limits.[15]
Offhand items
Offhand items are items that can be equipped in a player's offhand slot, such as shields, spell focuses, and sigils.[78]
- Offhand items do not have weapon skill trees.[46]
- Only one-handed weapons may be equipped when the offhand slot is in use.[78]
- Previously, shields were equipped in a back slot.[72][73]
- Dual wielded weapons occupy both main and offhand gear slots.[87][88]
Gear appearance priority
Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.[72][79][89]
- Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.[73]
- Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.[70][74][75][77]
- Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged and melee slot for basic weapon attacks.[70]
- Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.[91]
Ranged weapons
A character may equip up to two hand weapons and also wear a ranged weapon on their back.[75][77][73]
- Characters performing ranged abilities will switch to the ranged weapon, then can switch back to the melee weapon and shield or two-handed melee weapon.[75][77]
- There will be a setting to determine if the ranged weapon or main/offhand is the primary weapon to use for Q or left-mouse-button basic attacks.[75][77]
- Rangers do not have a minimum distance requirement for using their ranged weapons.[93] Previously rangers were intended to have a minimum distance requirement.[94]
- Instead of a minimum range requirement, certain Ranger skills, such as Thundering Shot, currently have variable effects conferred at different ranges.[95]
- Some Ranger skills require a bow to be equipped.[96]
Melee weapons
Melee weapons and abilities have a maximum range of effect.[98][94]
Dual wielding
Dual wielding will be permitted for selected one handed weapons, such as Daggers, Maces, and Swords.[35][88][100]
- Dual weapons are treated as single items that when equipped will occupy both main and off-hand gear slots.[35][87][88]
- A specific recipe will include previously completed one-handed weapons that are intending to be dual wielded.[35]
- All dual weapons use the same weapon skill tree.[35]
- Shields cannot be dual wielded.[101][100]
- Great swords probably can't be dual wielded.[102]
- Q: How will animations work while dual wielding weapons of A) a different type, for example an axe and a dagger; or B) different weapon speeds?
- A: Dual weapons will have their own animation sets; and... there will be a limited selection of which weapons can be dual weapons. Players will make that selection. They'll create those dual weapons as as bespoke single items that when equipped will occupy both the main and offhand; and then how we handle the attack speeds is we offer animations at a particular speed and then we adjust that with a modifier based on whatever is influencing that: either increase or slow down in speed.[88] – Steven Sharif
Swapping gear
- Switching weapons is possible while in combat but armor cannot be swapped while in combat.[70][104][105][74][75][77][106]
- Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will be automatically swapped in and out as required by the skill.[74][75][77]
- Players can select which weapon they wish to use as their primary weapon for basic attacks.[74]
- Previously it was stated that swapping weapons (from inventory) into a hand or range slot is not possible in combat.[105] Prior to this, weapon swapping was said to be subject to a cooldown period (in the range of a few seconds) following any damage taken or done by the player.[107][108]
- You may not swap armor when you're in combat, but you may swap your weapons; and there's obviously a few reasons of why this can be important: We're a itemization agnostic class design, so players equip with items that there are most necessary based on the adversary or the challenge that they're facing; and so we want that to be available for players to swap with weapons.[104] – Steven Sharif
- It is possible to store and swap gear loadouts with a single hotkey button press when out of combat.[15][69][109]
- There will be a loadout system that you can use in your inventory to help manage those different types of set that you can customize. So you can do a simple hotkey press and be able to swap your armors, out of combat of course, with a single button click.[15] – Steven Sharif
- Artisan gear and adventuring gear do not need to be swapped for either to be effective when they are equipped on a character.[110][83][84]
Gear rarities
Item rarities in Ashes of Creation.
- Poor.[111]
- Common.[112][113]
- Uncommon.[112][114]
- Rare.[112][115]
- Heroic.[112][116]
- Epic.[112][82]
- Legendary.[112][117]
- Artifact.[112]
Gear sets
Gear sets (also known as tier sets) are a part of Ashes of Creation.[14][9][10]
- Q: How often will armor be part of an entire armor set with other cosmetically matching pieces versus unique armor pieces that don't match or go along with anything else in the game?
- A: There is a balance of both set pieces and non-set pieces and usually you're going to see at higher grades within a tier are going to be more predominantly set driven; and the lower interstitial power levels of the gear for that tier are the potentially bespoke pieces; and obviously those pieces are catered around a number of different interactions, such as ones you get from quests, ones that you get from drops, ones that you can craft, ones that you get from legendary bosses, ones that you get from guild-oriented tasks, or in-game favor and unique currencies. So there's different types of acquisition models and each of them has a spattering of either bespoke pieces or set-oriented pieces; and there are even varying levels of set pieces as well. So you might have a full eight piece set, or a three-piece set, or a five piece set, depending on where it lives within the tier.[14] – Steven Sharif
- Racial appearance of gear sets is tied to the character model of that race.[121]
- It will be possible to store and swap gear loadouts with a single button press when out of combat.[15][69][109]
- Approximately 49 unique gear sets were obtainable in Alpha-1 from crafting, quests, drops and exploration.[122] These were unique sets with different stats, but some may be similar in appearance.[122]
- There are passive abilities that can be chosen to become more adept with certain set types.[10]
- There will be viable non-set builds.[123]

Gear binding
There may be some gear binding (BoE or BoP) but it will be an exception rather than the rule, as this doesn't facilitate the objectives for the economy.[125]
- Very little gear will be account bound or soulbound in Ashes of Creation.[126][127]
- The game economy is based around crafting and degradation of items.[126]
- Gear is obtained via crafting, gathering and processing along with raid and dungeon bosses.[127]
A lot of what we experienced in games that usually come before us is that many things are account bound and they're soulbound to your character... Instead very little here is character bound. Very very little. The vast majority of gear- yes you will get quest related gear as rewards- but it won't be let's say one set in one dungeon and you must run the dungeon over and over. Instead we want to really emphasize the reliance on the economy and crafters and gatherers and processors to support a majority of the gear structure in-game, combined with that of world raid bosses and dungeon bosses; not a repetitive quest line through a single dungeon.[127] – Steven Sharif
Trading gear
There is player-to-player trading in Ashes of Creation.[128][129][130][131]
- Q: Will Ashes of Creation have player-to-player trading? Will there be anything stopping me from gifting a friend that's fresh to the game a bunch of in-game money to help them get on their feet quickly?
- A: There won't be anything to stop you from doing that.[130] – Steven Sharif
- Player to player trading, interacting with vendors or NPCs, and the ability to access storage is disabled for corrupted players.[132][133][134]
- The nature of player to player trading already introduces that in an open economy game... that is why we have measures to attempt and heat flag suspicious transactions, active gms and other honeypot systems/agents that will be active in discovering those types of cheaters.[129] – Steven Sharif
Sharing gear with alts
- There will be a "comfortable" number of character slots available for alts.[139][140]
- Progression pathways in Ashes of Creation are per-character.[141][142]
- Storage space is shared between characters on the same account.[141][143][144]
- Characters on the same account are able to share player housing, including furniture and freehold workstations.[141]
- Cosmetics can be reassigned to characters within an account, with a potential cooldown period.[145][146][147]
- Alts within a single account may have different professions.[148]
Gear enhancement
Gear enhancements are possible both during and after an item is crafted.[149][150]
- There is a combination of systems that take an item to its max potential. Players will need to contribute in a certain number of these systems to reach max. Some of the systems are an either/or situation.[149] – Kory Rice
- Crafting recipes can be enhanced by adding higher rarity or different crafting materials into their selectable crafting slots at crafting stations.[150][151][152][153]
- Gems and sockets enable the addition of additional waterfall stats to items.[156]
- The bulk of a weapon's power comes from its crafting recipe and the materials used in its construction.[12]
- The contribution of materials to crafting an item results in advancing the rarity of that item. Now, that doesn't exclude players who don't have the legendary or the higher quality contributed resources from progressing their common item up the rarity tree through enchantments such as scroll enchanting or through tempering the gear. Both of those can affect the quality and the rarity of the gear that you produce, but by contributing the resources during the crafting process you are getting a head start with the higher quality item and now are less dependent on those other avenues to achieve that, which might be again a different vertical space of progression that you don't have as good of access to.[150] – Steven Sharif
- Runes/Power stones are a potential methods for enhancing weapons.[157][158]
- Enchantment stones are potential rewards for performance over six month PvP seasons. These grant temporary PvP-focused benefits to gear (via a socketing system).[159][160]
Enchanting
Enchanting is not an artisan profession in its own right. Scribes create scrolls that can be utilized by different professions to create enchantments relating to that profession.[161][162]
- Enchantment scrolls can be sold on the open market.[150][161][163]
- Enchanting does not increase an item's level requirement.[164]
- You don't really push a particular item's level requirement or the identity of that item. You can enhance it, you can add enchantments to it, but it's still the item it is.[164] – Steven Sharif
Skills and stats on gear
Crafters will be able to assign different skills/abilities and stats on gear.[165][119]
- Crafters will be able to 'rejigger' stat blocks; and there will be a couple of other ways to move things around to create both the look and the stat block that you're looking for. It's not always going to be easy. There will be a lot of challenges involved with that. But the goal is to give you guys the option to customize your gear the way you want them to be.[165] – Jeffrey Bard
- Master crafters will be able to influence several (but not all) stats on their crafted items.[165][166]
- Stats on crafted items will vary based on the item's rarity.[167]
- There will also be methods of moving stat blocks around but this won't necessarily be an easy task.[65][165]
- All gear will be able to be assigned any stat.[165]
This section contains potentially outdated information from Alpha-1 testing. |
Gear is broken down into Core Stats and Additional Stats.[168]
Best-in-slot items
A design goal for Ashes of Creation is to not have overarching best-in-slot items (BiS) that are meta for all situations.[169]
- What is considered best-in-slot is based on a character's role and the type of encounter they are facing.[169][170]
- There's still going to be customization within realms for your archetype that you will want to spec into, knowing you're going into a certain fight, or into a certain raid, or into a certain war, or whatever it may be: and you may want to spec specifically and gear specifically and have people set up in a way that makes the most sense for that.[171] – Margaret Krohn
- Crafted items are considered best-in-slot in Ashes of Creation.[172] Previously it was stated that crafted items will be on-par with best-in-slot items.[173]
- Instanced content will contain scripted and difficult boss fights that drop gear, but the gear drops will not be best-in-slot. These can only be found in the open world.[174]
Class weapons and armor
Weapons and armor are not class locked, but certain archetypes or classes are more synergistic with certain types of weapons or armor.[2][5][6][7]
- This also applies to weapon skills.[175]
- Weapons are intended to be somewhat agnostic in the sense that you can find a way for a weapon to be utilized by different classes. Not just the rogue is going to be able to use daggers. Because if you restrict equipment through that, it makes the economy more difficult to have sustainability across the market of items.[7] – Steven Sharif
Certain abilities require certain items to be equipped.[176]
- Q: We had stated that we were going to allow people to use any class combination, which would be both your archetypes together, being able to use any weapon. Do we see problems that could occur with that, for instance like a bow tank, or an orb tank or things like- will there be some strangeness there, or are there problems that you first are foreseeing in the future?
- A: We're giving a lot of flexibility to the crafters in our game. They get to help define the stat block that a particular item, weapon, or gear has; and that stat block can be relevant to any particular class or archetype combination. So in that sense the idea is, no not to see any strangeness there or not to see any elements that would dissuade a person from that customization perspective.[177] – Steven Sharif
Racial weapons and armor
Weapons and armor are not race locked, but armor will take on a racial appearance.[181][182][183]
- The customization of equipment per race is really focused on Armor sets not Weapon props. Weapon props will, from a model standpoint, will translate pretty one-to-one across the races.[184] – Steven Sharif
- Racial appearance of gear is focused on Armor. Weapons will not change in appearance but will scale in size based on race.[185][184]
- Let's say for example you have the Eagle set or something, right: The Eagle set has in art, it has a thematic design that's going to include certain attachments to the armor. It's going to include color palette and theme. It's going to have some aspects to it that define it as the Eagle set, right. When a Elf wears the Eagle set or when an Orc wears the Eagle set, you obviously have two different cultures there; and you don't want to stomp out that culture by assigning a de facto 'This is the Eagle set and this is how it looks on everybody.' What we want to have is cultural influences play a role in showing how that set looks.[184] – Steven Sharif
- Racial appearance of gear sets is tied to the character model of that race.[121]
- When you say, what if I'm an Orc but want to look like an Elf and I want my Eagle set to be the Elf representation? Well the issue becomes there that Orcs have a different organic model. You know, their body is different than that of the Elf. So, from a scope-creep standpoint, it's one thing to add different influences that represent the cultures that are donning the armor; it's another thing to adapt each influence as a matrix that can be worn pretty much by everything. From a scope perspective, that's a very difficult task for the character artists to tackle. So instead what we've done is, in order to facilitate a variety of cultural representation between the races but allow for the sharing of assets like different armor sets, we give different representations of those armor sets to each race.[121] – Steven Sharif
- Q: Since a single armor set will look different on each race, how will we have large varieties of in-game achievable gear for each race if we have to make nine different looks for each set?
- A: The approach for that is to create a modular piece set for armor creation; and the way we achieve that is by two steps: So, on the modeling side, each race has these geo sets basically where you're creating pieces of the armor for heavy plate armor, for medium, for robes; and you get to grab those modular pieces and mix and match as design makes a request for a particular set to the art teams. So, design comes along and they say, "hey we have a theme for a set that we want to create", so let's use Carphin in that example; and that theme from design's standpoint is going to include color, it's going to include materials, it's going to have an etymology for the set to give a background so that they can incorporate certain types of attachments- whatever they want to include on the art side. Then, the character team says, "okay let's take our base sets of geo and let's mix and match those pieces to create the Carphin set and then we're going to do a materials pass on it, and then we're going to do a color pass on it"; and that way we have a lot of essentially pieces of the puzzle to create these many different unique sets. Now we can also deform pieces across from race to race. So, even if we create unique geo on a per-race basis, we can grab the pauldron from the Human set and put it onto the Vek representation; and the end game there is that we have a particular set, for example Carphin, and that Carphin is communicating the theme; and when you don the armor for the Carphin set- you've acquired the Carphin set and you put it on- it is going to look Vek if you're a Vek. It is going to look Kaelar if you're a Kaelar, but it is still going to have the identity and the theme of the Carphin set.[186] – Steven Sharif
Crafted gear
Crafted items (also referred to as Completed items, Finished goods, or Final products) are items produced by crafter artisans using crafting stations.[17][187][188][172][189][190]
- Completed items can be accessed by players in warehouses at any node regardless of citizenship or housing ownership.[16][17][15]
- Crafted gear is considered best-in-slot in Ashes of Creation.[172]
- Previously it was stated that crafted items will be on-par with boss dropped items.[191][192][173]
- Crafters will be able to assign different skills/abilities and stats on gear.[165][119]
- Master crafters will be able to influence several (but not all) stats on their crafted items.[165][166]
- Crafted gear in the game is the best gear... One thing that I'm not a fan of is that you develop a crafting system in a game and you've spent a lot of time making this from a material and resource perspective. All the tables that you can receive, all the connectivity in the economy and how crafting is associated with the game; and then you undermine the crafting entirely by presenting a separate route of gear acquisition that is on-par with the crafting efforts. So here you have these people who are acquiring all of the resources getting, all the recipes, leveling up their professions and then everything they make is less or equal to anything you could just have chosen the easier path of and gone down the questing and received the best gear. So what we do focus on is that crafters make the best shit. Excuse me, the best things.[172] – Steven Sharif
- The rarity of crafted items will be commensurate with the effort required to gather, process and craft the items.[173]
- Stats on crafted items will vary based on the item's rarity.[167]
- Gear appearance is influenced by the rarity of the crafted item.[193]
- That plays into our crafting system in and of itself. The idea is for those stats to be variables that can be dictated based on the mastery level of the particular crafter; and the higher they become a master of those professions, whether it be for armor or for weapons or for accessories, they're going to have some agency and put their mark on essentially what items they're introducing into the economy.[167] – Steven Sharif
- Crafters are able to influence what their crafted items will look like.[165][194]
- At the moment, harnessing corruption to warp items into demonic or decayed things is not on the cards.[195]
- A crafter's name is embedded in the items they craft.[196]
- We believe that every item that exists in the world should in some way reflect its creator. As such, there will be extreme versatility in our crafting system – giving crafters the ability to create unique items that represent their strengths and weaknesses.[197]
Gear inspection
Players will have a buff on their nameplate that indicates the gear set they are wearing. Other players will be able to see this buff by targeting that player at a distance.[199][67][200]
- This will indicate the type of armor (cloth, leather, plate) that they are predominantly wearing.[65][67]
- You can target a player. You're going to see what type of armor they have based on a buff they have available to them because obviously cosmetics can change appearance. You might have different silhouettes as a result of that.[65] – Steven Sharif
- The border will indicate the level and quality of the tier set.[199][67][201]
- This also indicates if the gear is enchanted, along with visual effects associated with enchanted items.[67][202][201]
- The developers believe that inspecting gear to obtain an exact equipment list or gear score may lead to "unwelcome behavior".[203]
- When you see a player approaching you and they're wearing a transmog you don't know if that person is a high damage mitigation against physical damage or against magical damage and essentially the way we overcome that is through you being able to target a player at a distance and they will have a buff that's present on them that you will see, which indicates that essentially the piece set that they are wearing. It is important for players to be able to ascertain from a threat assessment standpoint what they're going up against if they're actively checking that, and that will be available.[200] – Steven Sharif
Gear proficiency
Gear proficiency is based on selection of passive skills to increase proficiency with armor and weapons.[204][191]
- There are three specific categories in the skill tree for your classes. There is passive skills and these will- you can allocate skill points there that are going to essentially increase your proficiency with certain armors or with specific weapons, or you can add to your passive stat effect bonuses, like mana regeneration, health regeneration, health pool, and all those types of things.[204] – Steven Sharif
- Weapon proficiency based on length of use is not a planned feature.[191]
- Q: Are weapons balanced towards a proficiency system (i.e. the longer I use a sword, the better my damage will be), or will it be a normal RPG stat system with no long-term scaling?
- A: We will not be using a proficiency system as described, but players will have passives available in their skill tree that will increase effectiveness of certain weapons. Becoming a master of swords will be something that is possible, just not in that particular manner.[191] – Sarah Flanagan
Proficiency | Icon | Origin | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Weapon Mastery: Bows | Bow | Lowers the Cooldown of Barrage and Scatter Shot by 3s upon: Completion of a bow weapon combo; Firing a fully charged Longbow.[205] | |
Weapon Proficiency I (Wand) | Wand | Increased Accuracy by 0.5%.[206] | |
Weapon Proficiency II (Wand) | Wand | Increased Accuracy by 0.5%.[207] | |
Weapon Proficiency III (Wand) | Wand | Increased Accuracy by 0.5%.[208] | |
Weapon Proficiency IV (Wand) | Wand | Increased Accuracy by 0.5%.[209] | |
Weapon Proficiency IX (Greatsword) | Greatsword | Increased Attack Speed by 1%.[210] | |
Weapon Proficiency V (Wand) | Wand | Increased Accuracy by 0.5%.[211] |
- Death penalties may lead to a reduction in a character's gear proficiency.[212]
Item durability
There is item durability (item decay) in Ashes of Creation.[214]
- Materials are required in order to restore the performance of decayed items.[217][215][213][218][219]
- Item decay does not destroy items, but it acts as an materials sink.[220][215][214]
- If you allow it to get to certain stages, or to get to a destructed stage then it requires a lot of material components in order to return back to its former glory.[217] – Steven Sharif
- Over enchanting an item comes with the risk of durability loss if a safety margin is exceeded.[213][222][223]
- There is durability in the game... It's not going to be a trivial durability. There is a potential to destroy gear (weapons and armor), but there is also an ability to reforge that destroyed gear using a portion of the materials necessary as well as finding an item creator who can reforge it.[214] – Steven Sharif
Item repair
Item repair will cost crafting materials.[215][219][214]
- 0% durability will unequip items, increasing its repair cost.[221]
- Damaged gear can be reforged at a player stall using a portion of the materials that were necessary to craft the item.[213][218][219]
- There may be additional constraints for repairing "very unique items", such as having a crafter and recipe to effectuate repairs. This is subject to testing.[220]
- There is no limit to the number of times an item can be repaired.[225]
There will be ways to repair destructible structures (such as walls and gates) and also repair (or re-craft) siege weapons that were damaged during sieges.[226]
- There's a lot of ancillary activities that can be had during sieges... It's obviously strategy and tactics and raid-versus-raid components, but also you want to have individual contributions where players can do things during the siege to aid in the greater effort so to speak; and it doesn't require you having 50 people by your side to effectuate that influence over something. So repairs are great ways to do that. Repairs for walls, repairs for gates, being able to spawn and essentially craft the designs for specific types of siege weapons to provide those to the team.[226] – Steven Sharif
Gear appearance
- Gear is intended to be realistic in appearance.[227][228][229]
- Armor will not be overly sexual in appearance.[227][229]
- I'm more of the mind that it wouldn't really serve a purpose to have bikini plate armor, just in like reality, if you're going to have armor, it should be protective. I think from a fashion statement is enjoyable for some people, but it's a an immersive issue.[228] – Steven Sharif
- Some armor and costumes will be more revealing than others, but there will not be nudity in the game.[231]
- There might be sliders, but there are not gonna be naked sliders.[231] – Steven Sharif
- Each race is getting its custom geo pieces, which then will share thematic components such as color palette, attachments, design filigree. Those types of things will get shared across the geo but generally you're going to see unique races with unique geo.[232] – Steven Sharif
- The appearance of crafted gear is influenced by its rarity.[193]
- Crafters are able to influence what their crafted items look like.[165][194]
- Cosmetics can be used by all races but there may be slight variations to make them work with the body builds of each race.[234]
- Dye cosmetics can be used to change gear colors.[235][236][237]
Appearance slots/Transmogs
Gear will have appearance slots (Transmutation/Transmog/cosmetic slots) that are used to copy the appearance of an item (in some cases).[240][10]
- There are rules when applying cosmetics to specific items, unlike costumes, which don't have level restrictions.[241]
- Cosmetic slots can be toggled on or off on their character by the player.[242]
- A "default player appearance" may be automatically applied during sieges or other large scale battles to improve client-side performance.[243][244]
- Cosmetics, whether purchased from the shop or earned in game, are an important component of MMORPGS I personally enjoy; and there's a lot of collectors out there who spend a great deal of time either in-game achieving these things or spend money purchasing them from the cosmetic only marketplace; and we don't want to demean or reduce that achievement or that expenditure. So it's going to be situational where the default appearance will be applied and can be activated.[243] – Steven Sharif
Attachments
Attachments are able to be unlocked as flair pieces to armor to create a customizable look.[245]
- There will be hundreds of attachments available ranging from a small clasp to the front plate of a breast plate.[245]
Costumes
Costumes were available for purchase from the cosmetic store.[248]
- They do not include any weapons pictured.[249]
- Costumes are one piece outfits that cover all gear slots regardless of armor type.[250][247][251][252][253]
- Full costumes do not mix and match pieces.[253] – Steven Sharif
- Costumes don't have a level restriction or require an in-game item to be obtained first.[254][241]
- Costumes are not gender or race locked, but can adapt based on a character's gender and race.[255][256][234][257]
- Racial skins appear along with any costume appearances.[258][259]
- All hoods and head slot items, whether part of a complete costume or individual gear, will have the option to be shown or hidden on the character by the player.[260][247][261]
Dyeable items
Dyes only affect tagged portions of dyeable armor or cosmetic items.[262]
Outside of wanting to keep maybe some identity from a lore perspective; for example if you have like a white lion's suit of armor, you may not want that white lion suit of armor to be black or blue. So, it's possible. It depends on the costume itself.[262] – Steven Sharif
Artisan gear
Artisan gear boosts artisans in their gathering, processing, or crafting professions while they are wearing the gear.[264][263][84][265]
- Profession NPCs sell lower level artisan gear.[266] Higher level gear is crafted by players.[84]
- There are three artisan gear slots on a character's paper doll UI.[83] Previously these was referred to as undergarment slots.[84]
- Artisan gear and adventuring gear do not need to be swapped for either to be effective when they are equipped on a character, but players will be able to toggle gear visibility between their adventuring and artisan gear.[110][83][84]
- If you want to be seen as wearing the herbalists outfit, you're still going to have your adventuring gear present and on the character, and benefiting from the stats that are conferred by them; and vice-versa.[110] – Steven Sharif
- Gathering tools and artisan gear have stats that affect gathering rates and yields.[267][268]
- Gear for artisans are going to live alongside your adventuring gear. So you will currently- the approaches, and we'll test this but currently- the approach is you'll have artisanship oriented gear. This might be beneficial for your gathering; it might be beneficial for your processing, or crafting, or whatever it is- your profession. Essentially you will craft that gear, you will equip that gear, it'll live almost as a undergarment slot so to speak; and then you can activate that and it will show the appearance if you wish during the activation when you gain the benefit from the from the gear itself; and then could disappear afterwards and go back to your adventuring gear. That's the current approach. We're going to play with that a little bit. There's some discussion and disagreement on the team about how we do that, but our hopes are for Alpha two, we will have I think a couple of sets at least. We're demonstrating all of the artisanship from gathering to processing to crafting in limited fashion in Alpha 2 want to have that gear present to play with this approach.[84] – Steven Sharif
Item rendering
Items that are dragged out of a player's inventory are destroyed.[134]
- Allowing player-dropped items (such as Gear and Currency) to exist in the world is likely not going to be allowed.[134][269]
