Bibliothèque
At Village (organiser 3) the academic node's unique building is the Bibliothèque.[1]
- Information about the world will be presented directly to players through the world map UI.[2] Previously the Library was used to access information about the world, such as the history of significant narrative events, locations of gatherable resources, dungeons, and POIs.[1]
- In the past we talked about having a library that was capable of facilitating players exchanging information for map data like that, but we've moved a little bit more in a direction of just presenting that information up front to the player, because travel is such a meaningful portion of the game and we don't have fast travel. So, I think that for Alpha-2 what's planned is that we're going to be showcasing the intricate details of services offered at these node locations from just a UI presentation standpoint within the map.[2] – Steven Sharif

Players can use the Library to access information, including (but not limited to) the following:[1]
Nœuds scientifiques
A great Verran philosopher once stated, "To know the Gods, we must first know ourselves. Science is our looking glass." On Verra, the Essence flows through the fabric of the world. Each location focuses the Essence in different ways, allowing for interactions with the Essence that yield a variety of results. Nodes exist near these locations in the world that focus the Essence, and one such focus is that of the Scientific Node Type. Those who seek knowledge, technological advancement, and want to understand why the world is the way it is will find the Scientific Node is for them. In these Nodes, you’ll find sprawling questlines and rewards for crafters, gatherers, and those who seek the highest reaches of Artisan knowledge.[1]
Academic nodes (also referred to as Nœuds scientifiques)[4] are focused on artisan classes and construction.[5]
- Scholar PNJs are present from the first stage of development (Expédition).[5]
- Upon first glance at a Scientific Node, players will find Scholars on an Expedition out in the wilderness, requesting aid in finding alchemical or natural reagents. If you should choose to help them, you may progress a Scientific Node beyond a lowly Expedition into something magnificent.[1]
- Specialization in Artisanship and Construction mechanics are granted through many of the NPC merchants and through the ancillary quest points within the Scientific Node Type. This will unlock abilities within many professions and allow specialization in the Gathering, Processing, and Crafting aspects of the Artisan system.[1]
Bénéfice de Nœud scientifique
Les Nœuds scientifiques qui ont atteint le statut de métropole débloquent le super-pouvoir Téléportation.[1]
- Les citoyens d'une métropole dans un nœud scientifique peuvent se téléporter entre la métropole et chacun de ses nœuds vassaux, peu importe le niveau d'avancement du nœud vassal, du moment que le nœud vassal n'est pas en guerre.
- Les citoyens d'un nœud vassal peuvent se téléporter à leur nœud métropole et vice-versa.
- S'il existe plusieurs métropoles scientifiques, un appareil volant permettra le voyage rapide entre ces métropoles scientifiques pour les citoyens de ces nœuds et de leurs nœuds vassaux, du moment que les métropoles ne sont pas en guerre.
Ce qui permettra aux citoyens et vassaux d'une Métropole Scientifique de faire beaucoup de choses plus vite que les autres, car le voyage rapide est limité dans le monde de Ashes of Creation. Ils seront en mesure d'échanger des produits et des informations avec facilité et de se rendre à des emplacements dans le monde beaucoup plus rapidement pour récolter des matériaux pour créer des recettes, également de participer à des événements limités dans le temps.[1]
