Nivellement
One of the cool abilities we all love seeing and gives us a major dopamine response is when our character levels up.[1] – Steven Sharif
Nivellement won't follow a traditional linear path, although classic mechanics for leveling exist.[2][3]

- Leveling: the act of of going out and adventuring, of killing monsters, and combat in general is the most tactile and moment-to-moment type of gameplay that you're going to experience in Ashes of Creation; and I think at every step of the way in that adventure it should be fun, and it should be something that you enjoy doing, and it should be something that's rewarding, and it should be something that teaches you more about the immersive world that you're in and allows you to follow a compelling storyline.[4] – Steven Sharif
- Players will have the option to rush their vertical progression to level cap or spend time building infrastructure through horizontal progression.[5][2][6][7]
- Experience (XP) is gained through a variety of vertical and horizontal progression paths, such as JcJ, JcE, Exploration, Collecte/Traitement/Artisanat, Evénements/Quêtes, Grinding mobs.[8][2][9][10]
- XP will be awarded for participating in objective-based PvP on a diminishing returns basis.[9]
- A character's level is visible to other players.[11]
- Some levels may offer more rewards than others.[12]
- I think you can emphasize some levels more than others and that's a great way to do progression. But I think ultimately that you should see a reward for your progress or effort spent.[12] – Steven Sharif
- There will not be level boosts or auto-leveling (AFK leveling).[13][14]
- As part of our ideals as a game we're not going to give boosts away. We're not going to auto-level up a character. You have to spend time acclimating yourself to what this game is, to what the world that you're part of is; and that's an investment- a time investment; and that plays towards our ideas of risk-versus-reward; and I've always said our game's not going to be for everybody and that's okay.[13] – Steven Sharif
- If I have a skill that does a thousand damage to a target of equal level I don't want my skill to do zero damage to a target that's five levels above me.[15] – Steven Sharif
- A player could in theory level to max level at a single node, providing that node was at a high-enough stage, but it would not be the most effective means of leveling.[16]
Class progression
![[18]](#cite_note-progression.png-18){kind=link}
- Les joueurs reçoivent des points de compétences en augmentant de niveau. Ils peuvent être utilisés pour améliorer leurs capacités dans leur arbre de compétence.[21]
- Il sera impossible de maximiser toute les compétences d'un arbre de compétence.[21]
- Un joueur peut choisir un archétype secondaire lorsqu'il atteint le niveau 25.[17] La combinaison des archétypes primaires et secondaires est appelée classe.[17][20][22]
- L'archétype secondaire n'offre pas de compétences supplémentaires.[23]
- Les archétypes secondaires peuvent être modifiés, mais pas "à la volée".[19][24]
![[22]](#cite_note-archetypeclass.png-22){kind=link}
- Le joueur peut alors améliorer ses compétences primaires avec les effets de son archétype secondaire.[17][18]
- Chaque compétence de l'arbre primaire aura plusieurs options d'améliorations grâce à l'arbre secondaire. C'est un exemple de progression horizontale.[18]
- Les améliorations apportées aux compétences primaires peuvent fondamentalement changer le fonctionnement de la capacité - en adaptant ce que la capacité faisait avant pour incorporer l'identité de l'archétype/classe secondaire.[25]
Si un Combattant choisissait Mage comme archétype secondaire, le Combattant deviendrait un Spellsword. Cette combinaison débloque des améliorations qui peuvent être appliquées aux compétences de leur arbre de compétences primaire. Les Combattants ont une compétence Rush leur permettant de se ruer sur une cible; et en atteignant la cible, d'infliger un certain nombre de dégâts avec une chance de renverser la cible. Une amélioration d'évasion d'un Mage pourrait être appliquée à la compétence de rush, qui téléporterait le joueur vers la cible à la place; éliminant ainsi le temps de charge de la compétence.[18]
La progression de la classe est indépendante de la progression artisanale.[26]
Les événements du monde n'impactent pas directement l'efficacité des classes mais peuvent avoir des effets liés aux disponibilités d'équipements, d'enchantements ou de tatouages.[27]
Classes by archetype combination
Avec 8 archétypes à combiner, les joueurs peuvent choisir parmi un total de 64 combinaisons pour créer leur classe.[17][20][22]
Class abilities
![[28]](#cite_note-toast-keybinds-skills.png-28){kind=link}
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.[29] – 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.[30] – Steven Sharif
Compétences primaires (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.[31][18]
- A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25.[32][17] The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.[31][32][17][18][33]
![[33]](#cite_note-class_secondary.png-33){kind=link}
- Outside of class-specific skills there may be a subset of universal skills, such as active block and dodge.[34]
- Class skills are not affected by the type of weapon that is equipped.[35]
- Compétences primaires in Alpha-2 are expected to be very different to those in Alpha-1.[36]
Rested experience
Tavernes offer rested experience (rested XP) for those who rent rooms or spend time as patrons of the tavern.[37][38]
- Rested experience allows players to gain experience at a faster rate for a period of time.[38]
- There are no current plans to replace rested experience with another bonus for max-level players.[39]
- Rested experience increases the rate that experience debt is paid back.[40]
