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]

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

Alpha-1 preview primary skills.[15]

If from the eight archetypes whatever you choose as your secondary, you're going to receive a choice of augments that relate to some core ideal of that class. You know like a tank is about controlling the battlefield, is about surviving. The mage is about dealing damage and elements and ability in AoEs. The rogue is going to be about stealth and critical damage. So those augments are going to to play towards those identities.[16]Steven Sharif

The idea behind the system is that you're skirting the line through these augmentations of your role, right. We have the traditional holy trinity that's present in class designs for MMOs and it's often that those either are not deviated at all or completely deviated from entirely. The augment is to offer a balance between that where you still maintain the semblance of that trinity system while offering the opportunity to customize your play experience towards one of the other angles in the triangle.[17]Steven Sharif

Primary skills (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.[18][6]
