PvP seasons
Performance in various PvP systems (such as Caravans, Arenas, Guild wars) is measured over the course of 6 month PvP seasons. At the end of each season, a player's cumulative score may unlock various rewards.[1][2]
- Gear enhancement rewards.[2]
- Achievement ranks.[2]
- Purchasing power (Currency).[2]
- Potentially more granular player health bars.[3]
Gear enhancement rewards
Gear enhancements are possible both during and after an item is crafted.[4][5]
- 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.[4] – Kory Rice
- Crafting recipes can be enhanced by adding higher rarity or different crafting materials into their selectable crafting slots at crafting stations.[5][6][7][8]
- Enchantment scrolls and tempering allow gear to be enhanced post-crafting.[5][9]
- The bulk of a weapon's power comes from its crafting recipe and the materials used in its construction.[10]
- 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.[5] – Steven Sharif
- Runes/Power stones are a potential methods for enhancing weapons.[11][12]
- Enchantment stones are potential rewards for performance over six month PvP seasons. These grant temporary PvP-focused benefits to gear (via a socketing system).[2][13]
Metrics
Ashes of Creation gathers tracking data to facilitate achievements, titles and other accolades on a server.[14]
- Number of successful siege defenses.[14]
- Number of successful siege assaults.[14]
- Number of PvP kills.[15][14]
- Number of PvP deaths.[15]
- Raid participation points.[14]
- Number of firsts.[14]
Visibility of those types of things on the server help to promote a competitive atmosphere. If there is an attainable impression that you can work towards, so that others know your success, you have more drive to succeed.[14] – Steven Sharif
Leader boards
Players will be able to opt-in to track certain achievements on leaderboards, such as.[16]
- Dungeons completed.[16][17]
- Raids completed.[16][17]
- PvP kills.[16]
- Caravans raided.[16]
- Gathering activity.[16]
Leaderboards may be seasonal.[17]
- We have many dreams that we want to do with game-to-web and game-to-mobile in regards to showing stats and being making things shareable for you. We know how social media works; how sharing content with friends works. But those things will come in due time.[16] – Margaret Krohn
Arena ladder
The arena ladder system records a player's progress within PvP seasons based on their arena win/loss ratios.[1][20]
- Titles can be received from arena play.[21]
- Other rewards will be revealed at a later time.[22]
- Arena points that can be used to buy gear is not currently in the design.[21]
Trophy park
Trophy park is an area within Town, City or Metropolis nodes that has available spots for trophies. These trophies show the character names of players who are the first to complete world bosses and dungeon bosses that were spawned as the result of the development of that particular node.[23]
- Server announcements and achievements are designed to encourage groups to experience new content.[23]
