questions

[timid magnet]

can i refine more then 1 logs at a time ?
how do i use the refined log for anything ?
is there a way to know what crafting recepies there are and where to get them ?
is there an auction house in AoC ?

[gritty reef]

Yes, you can change the amount you're refining to 5-10-25-50 with a drop down at the top right corner

[timid magnet]

but the only option in the drop down is 1 at a time, how do i unlock the other options ?

[paper basin]

Hi,
Anyone solved this task for the curse quest "(optional) could harvin be wanted?"

[sleek stratus]

How long is the major election gonna be on new servers cause if its 7 ingame days its gonna take almost all time of alpha 2

Stage 1

[autumn latch]

When you die. do you only lose items in yyour resource bag or from your novice gathering bags too?

[sleek stratus]

Any gatherables

[frail sparrow]

whats the benefit to win a war against other node?

[prime salmon]

Where on the mark does Scout Eloris spawn?

[cunning ocean]

Does anyone know if there is a IP ban bug? I can't open the launcher, I keep getting "access denied"

[scarlet nova]

They're blocking a lot of IPs due to DDoS attacks, you may be affected by this.

[earnest fossil]

everyone is crashing https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1304128827492139090

idk if you aware of that <@&542059693779058748>

[karmic hearth]

Is it possible to write addons for this game?

[cunning ocean]

Yeah I figured this was the case. I guess I'll just wait for a ticket response and test next week

[ripe granite]

is city chat for everyone who is a citizen of the same node?

[prime salmon]

Can't you get a new IP with your provider?

[slender jacinth]

im blind i guess, is there a mouse sens in the settings?

[upbeat warren]

Can I get comped this caravan I'm running?

Moment I disconnect the caravan will die 😦

[near stump]

@junior ember Damn, can we have a little more notice for downtime for caravans in progress?

[fathom adder]

Do we know when the servers will be going down for "good" until next weekend?

[tender mist]

Where is the best place to find information/updates about server maintenance/etc?

[daring bloom]

Does anyone know if voting for Mayor is actually a week or if it’s shorter for the alpha

#alpha-two-news

[manic scaffold]

hello, is there any other way than dying to remove corruption ? I thought we could farm it out

[slender jacinth]

,

[shadow bluff]

Yes you can grind it out. It’s just longer than you think

[manic scaffold]

Alright, thanks. And is it normal to get corrupted for simply tagging one arrow on another player's resting mount ? I thought I needed to kill someone for this

[drowsy heath]

From the alpha two news chat:
@Alpha Two
We will be bringing down realms <t:1731262500:R> for an update.

Estimated downtime: Less than two hours

[shadow bluff]

Sounds normal but you’d had to check the wiki, it goes more in depth.

[near palm]

is there any way to get Apprentice tools?

[delicate yew]

Yes

from nodes

[analog fiber]

servers offline?

[upbeat warren]

Please Mr. Atom tell em to save my caravan q.q

its worth 5 whole gold

thats more money then I have spent

[jagged mountain]

#alpha-two-news

[near palm]

I've seen the craftable novice tools, but how do you get apprentice?

[low silo]

i just hope it saves my character, been having roll backs all the time

[slate condor]

servers down?

[delicate yew]

The nodes has to have the building for it

[hollow otter]

@slender jacinth I’m trying to figure that out as well. I can’t rotate my camera around fast with the mouse. And if I turn my character it’s also super slow

[astral spire]

i think they r down. cant get on

[scarlet heron]

Why can't I type in #alpha-two-general ?

[delicate yew]

i give up on that

[winged yew]

cant login

what happened?

[kind estuary]

Always check the news

[trim rain]

will a2 news channel ping when the servers go back up?

[terse forum]

Can we extended the playtest a little bit this weekend 🙂

[quick thicket]

Does anyone know how to grow food?

[jovial vigil]

I hope they do. after this update it will be about 4 hours of downtime on a weekend only access

[quick thicket]

4 hours is better than the first weekend of A2. And yesterday was less than 2 hours.

[near stump]

Servers will be open 5+ days a week next month for phase 2

[vale terrace]

Can I enter the game from Monday to Friday?

[fading peak]

no

[desert ivy]

Current weekend tests run from Friday 10am PST to Sunday 10pm PST

Phase 1 - Oct 25 - Dec 20 (Weekend tests only)
Phase 2 - Dec 20 - May 1 (5 days a week)
Phase 3 - May 1 onwards (24/7)

[last minnow]

Is there maitenance now?

[kind estuary]

#alpha-two-news

[twilit acorn]

Is there a good guide when it comes to crafting weapons? or crafting gear in general

[vale terrace]

After the trial, I can’t mark the map, I can’t add friends, and there are no other languages ​​and translations.

[last minnow]

I had an issue with my computer who do I talk too?

[kind estuary]

With the computer or the game? Depends on the issue, you can make a ticket at the link in #help

[fair token]

"Permission Denied" when trying to log in

[last minnow]

I had made one but need to retrack it as my issue may be fixed now so I wanted to retracked it

[kind estuary]

#alpha-two-news

[flat edge]

Anyone has a map of where it's good to grind mobs at different levels?

[idle hinge]

when i have people in my party and were doing quests/etc, is that progression shared? or is it all individual?

[kind estuary]

named mobs I can do in groups for kill credit. I havent had luck with singular drops

That or every group ive been in has lost the tag to 2-3 people somehow.

[idle hinge]

ok so progression does get shared in groups it sounds like

we both dont have to kill the mob

[sleek stratus]

Can you get everything to apprentice ?

[short flint]

Some quests will not progress in a RAID.

[short flint]

Not on one character

[lofty geode]

Does someone know in how many hours the servers will be shut down for this weekend? Thanks!

[sleek stratus]

So how many can you

[boreal snow]

What happens to the items in the crafting queues when servers go down? do we lose the items or will they stay there?

[short flint]

#alpha-two-news will contain all of the outages and up times.

[short flint]

They should stay there.

[tender hearth]

Ashes of Creation Wiki

Artisan classes

Artisan classes (also referred to as Artisan branches) allow a player to specialize in one or more of the three artisan skill trees: Gathering, Processing, and Crafting.

We want players to interact with each other. We want the professions to make stuff for the other professions that are useful. I am influenced quite a bit by the Star Wars Galaxie...

Learn more here

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Artisan_classes

[short flint]

^^^^ That should give you the break down of how many artisans you can get to what level @sleek stratus

[lofty geode]

Indeed, thanks!

[opaque ledge]

If you buy Alpha access. Do you have to buy the game also when it launches? Or is that included?

[ripe bloom]

is there a link to the client download? the link on the website keeps getting blocked by something on my pc

[kind estuary]

game is monthly sub on release

[short flint]

There is no box cost for the game. The game is sub based only. IF you buy Alpha access, you gain access to all of the phases you purchase + later ones. Some packages might include a X# of months of game time with them. Once that expires, it is a monthly service fee.

[lucid shuttle]

Is armour mainly drops or can you craft heavy, do you need a specific craft to apprentice etc?

[kind estuary]

you can buy it at vendors too

[short flint]

You need to whitelist or add an exception for Intrepid Studios, or disable your anti-virus and download it. But Nortan/Avast is blocking the launcher and will continue to do so until they update their rules.

[lucid shuttle]

Ah okay, not thr general town one though?

[ripe bloom]

ahh okay thank you

[short flint]

You can only buy 3 pieces of the 8 armor pieces. I Can't recall which ones they are though.

[faint ivy]

been playing this weekend and having a blast but I am now getting this

[short flint]

#alpha-two-news - Servers are down - check this discord channel for all your server updates.

[kind estuary]

I bought mine at the smithy POI southwest of town, but it was just basic level. Not sure how high level stuff vendors sell

[idle breach]

Who do I talk to, to report someone from this server sending DM requests encouraging inappropriate things? Tried reaching out to someone with moderator status but no response despite being active in chat.. not sure what the protocol here is.

[lucid shuttle]

Tysm! @short flint also

[scarlet heron]

Anyone know what I have to do to get access to chat in #alpha-two-general ?

[short flint]

Continue to reach out to the moderators and/or CM's on the right.

[short flint]

#read-me-first , follow step #3. To chat, you must be able to actively participate in the current testing phase.

[shadow bluff]

Hi

[shadow bluff]

Dm me 🙂

[finite surge]

I am trying to log in for the first time and it says I dont have permissions. I bought the $120 latest key. Shouldn't I be able to get in now?

[solar flare]

servers down for maintence

[short flint]

Have you checked for the latest server updates here #alpha-two-news ?

[finite surge]

I have not I will take a look now

[mighty raven]

who do i talk to to report someone from this server REJECTING my offer of free toe sucksings? I tried sending more messages and I even see them typing in chat, I don't know what to do

[finite surge]

ok so maybe its because the servers are down you think?

[solid bone]

i would say so

[timber jolt]

Mby cuz its on maintance ?

[finite surge]

yeah i didnt realize it.. Thank you guys for pointing me in the right direction. hopefully i can get in when its back up! rock on!

[solid bone]

no prob bob:3

[kind estuary]

i think the news role in #read-me-first will ping you each time they're about to take down servers btw

[ornate schooner]

can any give me a general idea where the town hall admin is in lionhold i couldnt deem to be able to find him before the server went down

[short flint]

I think the "Official Clerk" is towards the southern gate. He was in front of the last building on the right.

Not sure if that's who you are trying to find

[ornate schooner]

it was for one of the quest i got in the town so hopfully thats who it is

[little sluice]

town hall administrator is in the other zones to become a citizens and cant become a citizen till lvl 10

if thats the quest you have

[ornate schooner]

yea it is so i have to wait till lvl twn to do the quest

[short flint]

LIonshold will not level

[little sluice]

yeah then you go to one of the zones and talk to the town hall admin and you become a citizen

[short flint]

If it's the citizen quest, do what ^^^ says, find a node that's leveled up 😉

[ornate schooner]

ok yea my map doesnt seem to be working well cuse nothing seems to be popping up but im assuimg the differnt colored zones are the nodes?

[little sluice]

yeah the icon of the windmills are the places that have the town halls

[short flint]

That one won't have quest marker, because you have to explore to find a node that's leveled up

[true palm]

Searched the thread to see anything about extended playtime for Veterans Day. Anyone know if test will end tonight or extend until tomorrow night?

[ornate schooner]

gotcha ok much appreciated

[little sluice]

should be tonight

[short flint]

#alpha-two-news has the latest for server uptime this weekend

[crystal beacon]

Servers up?

[short flint]

Check the #alpha-two-news channel for server statuses

[hybrid apex]

where's a good place to give player feedback?

[short flint]

The forums, or if its a bug use /bug in-game

[fervent slate]

why dont i have permission to talk in alpha 2 general?

[hybrid apex]

thank you for the fast response

[short flint]

DId you follow the instructions here #read-me-first and also are you actively a tester?

[dreamy dagger]

I think you have to in for at least 10 minutes before you can chat

[tired raptor]

are the minerals and other gathering resources localised? for example copper is only in miraleth zoi and zinc around new aela?

[wintry pivot]

no

[little sluice]

gotta link your discord

[fervent slate]

i see ty

[bleak dune]

is there a spreadsheet or something that tells me at what lvl I can mine/chop/harvest/ ect more valuable items

[short flint]

Every 10 levels of gathering will unlock a new tier of gatherables. Each gatherable has a rarity system. You can get common Oak wood, or legendary oak wood - just a random chance.

[toxic rivet]

Getting - Premission denied msg on account log in ???

[short flint]

Check #alpha-two-news for server updates friend

[shadow bluff]

Check #alpha-two-news

[toxic rivet]

ty sir

both

[grim cairn]

well good news is, anysort of EXP you had crafting is gone

[lone rose]

When do the orcs get added into the alpha?

[fervent slate]

how big is the game download?

[strong dagger]

when can we expect quests to be fixed?

[near stump]

Fixed?

[short flint]

60gb

[fervent slate]

cheers

[sleek stratus]

Once i get a proffession to journyman will i be able to get another one to apprentice ?

[stable plover]

Within a few months of May 1st - https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Alpha-2 lists things intended for different phases

[near stump]

You can get a max of 5 to apprentice. Of those 5, you can get 4 of them to journeyman. It isn’t gated behind getting them to journeyman.

[slate condor]

u can update ur launcher now

[stable plover]

About 54 gb, crash logs can quickly grow the folder

[grim cairn]

when will they remove crafting timers so that we can test crafting

[wicked sapphire]

Marking targets in pvp is impossible right now. Will we eventually have standard numerical marks that we can hotkey to quickly mark enemy player groups?

[short flint]

Don't think they will - that is part of the things they want you to test

[near stump]

Crafting doesn’t have a timer. Processing does. Doubt they’ll ever remove that.

[short flint]

You can already do this within the keybinds.

[strong dagger]

yes fixed, as in not broken, as in able to be completed

[sleek stratus]

So i cant get 2 grandmaster 3 master 4 journyman and 5 apprentice so i have 15 apprentice ones ?

[junior dust]

Does anyone know if there is a friends system in AOC or plans to implement one? Similar to Lineage 2?

[near stump]

Wanna be move specific because I have had 0 issues

[wicked sapphire]

can you keybind "target x mark" too?

[grim cairn]

processing timer just feels so bad even after you get all the gear

[short flint]

I don't know what you are trying to accomplish there? I have NUM KEY 1 set to the BATTLE AXE. So whatever I have targeted, if I Pres NUM KEY 1 they get the battle axe icon right away.

[near stump]

Is there a specific quest you’re talking about?

[fast fossil]

whats the difference between material rarities?
i got a uncommon pallas cat for example. is this gonna have more health than a common one?

[short flint]

There might be talents/skills/gear to reduce this. There might be node/mayor buildings to reduce the timer. Free hold buildings might be able to do the same as well. The higher the tier of processing building the more processing items you can have going on at a time too.

[dire oak]

how do you get access to ask questions in the alpha-two-artisan-chat ?

[short flint]

#read-me-first Follow step #3

[near stump]

#read-me-first

[grim cairn]

gather for an hour just to not be able to use your stuff for another hour, the system feels bad

[strong dagger]

the curse quest requires you speak to the purifier but when I speak to the purifier it gives me generic crap text and the only option is "end dialogue" and the tree shard quest I've collected all 12 shards but when I click complete the shards stay in my inventory and the quest doesnt complete. There are other GLARING issues with the quests and honestly as the game has been in development for so long its ridiculous that the issue even persists.

[sleek stratus]

This implies i can have 14 apprentice 9 journeyman 5 master and 2 grandmaster

[short flint]

You can only have 5 apprentice skills. However, 2 of those apprentice skills are grandmaster skills. This also means that you can have 2 Unique Grandmaster skills, and one other skill that is at a master level, because 2 of your 3 master skills are tied to your grandmaster skills.

[sleek stratus]

Damn

Are u sure

[short flint]

Yes, that is how it's currently designed. Basically:

Grand Master counts as Master, Journeyman, Apprentice, and Novice
Master counts as Journeyman, Apprentice, Novice, etc.

[near stump]

My only suggestion to you is to stop trying to do quests. The game is being tested for stability right now not content. Some areas are lacking or incomplete in the content area. They’re not too worried about bugs with optional quests at this phase of testing/development.

[short flint]

It can change for launch of the game.

[grim cairn]

advocating for changing processng, make processing great

[bleak dune]

I've hunted some horse and said I can train them but how do I do that?

[short flint]

You need to find an animal husbandry station (and bring tons of silver coins with you)

[stark copper]

Does anyone have suggestions for NVIDIA settings to help the game run better? I can't really play between the lag and rubberbanding of the mobs and myself. Last weeks testing was much better, this week is unplayable 😦

[near stump]

Just make sure you report the bug in game every time you encounter something like this so they’re aware of the issues

[short flint]

Rubber banding of mobs and lag of the mobs is not a graphics issue, that is 99% likely server related.

Frame rate drop would be a graphics issue.

[bleak dune]

okay thank you

[short flint]

I'd look at the Forum threads to provide your feedback there. There is most likely already a thread there, so either up vote a comment you find that matches your feedback or add your own to it.

[sour sonnet]

Has Cooking been implemented into the game? I caught some fish, but didn't see a way to make a fire or a cooking station anywhere. I was just curious if anybody knew. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what to do with the fish other than sell it

[short flint]

You need to find a cooking station (not familiar with that tree yet, so not sure what all is used)

[sour sonnet]

That make sense, but I'm not sure where to find one. :/ I'll keep looking

[short flint]

There might be little white diamonds around the starting area that might have a cooking station - or you can find a node that is leveled up. It won't be in Lionshold.

[uncut solstice]

Can I get the sound Agitated Grem's make when they're attacking as a ring tone?

[velvet niche]

what nodes can i get comissions from other than lion hold and samia's hope

[fair brook]

theres a cooking station just east of the starting area i believe

you can also get commisions from the town nodes as well but everything around those are higher level

[velvet niche]

so it would just be better to level at lionshold and samia's hope

[normal matrix]

[lunar tapir]

Is A2 progression still saving into launch?

[tame nova]

I have not yet. I've searched all over that town, reddit, discords and it looks like it's bugged. I noticed there a wanted poster on the building behind the wife. It's not interactable. But it the only wanted like poster I have found

[grim cairn]

is alpha progression carrying over to launch? first mmo?

[trim rain]

what is disable evasion? for stagger

[unkempt zinc]

No. And we don’t have a launch date

[unkempt zinc]

No. And we don’t have a launch date

[undone forge]

Think of it this way: even though the progress will be lost you can test out all of the archetypes (released) so you have no doubt which one you do want to progress with after launch 🙂

[polar escarp]

where do i make heavy armor is it only the smithy in the node villages?

[crisp steppe]

how to return quests zones?

[golden cliff]

Any idea why when a player attacked me (essentially flagged for PvP) he had no purple icon on him, and when i retaliated and killed him I got the corruption Debuff?

[desert ivy]

Bug probably

[golden cliff]

o7 rip materials

[undone forge]

I think it is a bug a guild mate of mine had something similar happen last night

[raven oyster]

Is there a way to make it so Mobs pop into view at a longer distance? Sometimes they are already in Melee before I see them pop in.

[mint hare]

Where should I be going to report bugs? I was trying to edit my keybinds in game and whenever I try to bind left strafe it binds the key I select to right strafe instead

[dusty cape]

What happened to the getting rid of animal husbandry rng

[spiral pine]

/bug ingame

[dusty cape]

/bug in game

[mint hare]

thanks!

[unkempt zinc]

Yeah, that bug’s been around. Type /bug to report bugs in game

[trim tangle]

Is there anyone here playing with an Intel Iris Xe graphics card? There’s a handful of people that can’t start the game with this and I’m wondering if the card is the issue

[unkempt zinc]

I reported that bug on day 1 of A2

[crisp steppe]

how to return quests markers?

[tardy frost]

Anyone know what the kirilin half dragon half deer is for or it is just a monster in the game?

[austere thicket]

tempted to drop 120 on this game is there a refund policy if say I play it for an hour and hate it?

[grim cairn]

no

[dire oak]

Are you supposed to be able to steer a caravan with just your mouse? I can only go forward, can't steer

[austere thicket]

bet

[tardy frost]

Should be with wasd

[royal pecan]

HELP! How does one obtain one of the artisan certificates, or learn a trade?

[dire oak]

what if I already re-keybinded those lol

[tardy frost]

Get to level 10 in the Craft of choice for certification i think

[tardy frost]

Rip

[royal pecan]

Thank you! 🙂

[dire oak]

figured it out, its not turn left / right, it's strafe left / right that turns the caravan

[timid magnet]

where can i find armor crafting workbench ?

[tardy frost]

If you go left of lionhold near the river or go to a node city

[sick grove]

Is there a setting I dont have turned on or is questing supposed to be vague and make you run around and talk to every npc and explore? There is hardly any direction

[timid magnet]

yeah it do be like that

[timid magnet]

inside lionhold ?

[molten cedar]

Is there a way to turn off "marking" with right-click?

[bitter drift]

canw e play during the week or only weekends?

[proven jolt]

it was never going to

can we post screen grabs in here or will i get nuked?

[worn quarry]

Is this an actual location for AOC or just for apocalypse?

[spiral pine]

Only from the APOC map

[proven jolt]

is there a fix for this, ive repaired and reinstalled, cant connect at all anymore

[hollow lake]

anyone know if you can duel wield yet ?

[timber jolt]

u cant

[hollow lake]

ty

[real sail]

If I cancel a craft is it intended you dont get the money back?

[austere thicket]

if i play purely action mode would i be just trolling in pvp? or is it class dependent. its just a more enjoyable way to play for me

[proven jolt]

nope

[torn umbra]

which npc give me the quest for the horse?

[scarlet rain]

what time do servers go down for the week?

[proven jolt]

what does that even mean? how is playing in action mode trolling....

[austere thicket]

I guess because i can miss attacks? where as someone using tab target will never miss

thats my thought process at least just asking a question

[spiral pine]

Fighter works well in action

[silent thunder]

So you played before last update and after that you cannot connect anymore?

[timid magnet]

is there a guild window i can open ?

[ocean pagoda]

We have next weekend another play?

[wide valve]

where are the granite nodes?

[spiral pine]

Yes every weekend until Dec 20th

[ocean pagoda]

How i get acces to other channels?

[bitter drift]

servers are open on weekdays?

or just weekends

[timber jolt]

no.

[wintry pivot]

with U

[proven jolt]

i had it friday, restarted and got in and it never came back. tried to play saturday and never got in, same with today

[timid magnet]

okey

[wintry pivot]

just weekends currently

[shadow bluff]

#read-me-first select a language to get the other channels.

[uneven falcon]

Think they will leave the server open for tomorrow since it’s a holiday?

[timber jolt]

not holiday here.

so i doubt.

[tardy frost]

Either mode is tab pretty much. Only difference i could find really is that the camera moves with mouse instead of holding a mouse button down

[north creek]

Where are you lm in Australia not sure if that affects it

[uneven falcon]

arent they an USA studio? just hoping for more ashes

[desert mantle]

What time do the servers close for the day? What time and what timezone?

[lean harbor]

how do you deliver lost crates?

[cedar basin]

Right click them and you'll get a quest. Deliver them to the appropriate locations. Sometimes it's an npc other times it a stack of crates you turn in at

[scarlet light]

Anyone have a location for the Grave of the Forgotten (Respecting the Forgotten quest)?

[lean harbor]

found the stack of crates and i interact but nothing happens

[opaque geode]

open a UI window

[slate condor]

anyone else has low update rate on the launcher?

[warm magnet]

i have problem make acc - "Invalid name or username" comes up everytime..Is the solution to just try different names or?

if i buy "first wave" do i have acc to all the future waves?

[molten cedar]

Any idea what the best settings to adjust are to make these snow squares quit flickering? It's almost unplayable.

"Optimize Shadows" helps... somewhat, but they're still there.

[upbeat surge]

Idk I thought I heard something about auto attack ?…

[lucid shuttle]

Is there a town hall in lionhold?

[desert mantle]

How do you attack other players? Had this dude killing me at the portal when you first enter the game. I went after him when I respawned to attack him but I could, I was hitting the air even though I had marked him

Couldn't*

[desert ivy]

Alt+F to attack other players (and the same to disable it)

[desert mantle]

Thanks you! 🙏

[desert ivy]

Any suggestions on how to get a caravan across the world successfully without crashing?

Our whole group just crashed and we lost all caravans

[cedar basin]

Avoid Winstead and the server worked associated with highwayman hills and you should be good.

[near stump]

Can we go from Mira to Winstead via the river?

Or should we just go to another node?

I was told caravan boats might be bugged?

[storm flare]

Does anyone know where to turn the the quest "Boneyard Brigade", i'm at the quest marker for Captain Hogan but he is not here

[river loom]

They are prerequisites

[warm magnet]

what does it mean? sorry om nobb

[molten cedar]

They are required. You need them.

[light hamlet]

anyone else having issues when closing out of the game that your keyboard and mouse just stop working no matter if you unplug and plug them back in?

[warm magnet]

can i install them later?

[molten cedar]

Probably you can install Visual C++ on it's own but you'll need to install Anti-Cheat with the game.

I don't really know why you'd want to install them separately though.

[pure nymph]

hi guys

the wipe it s on 20th december ?

[versed delta]

When do the servers go down today?

[pure nymph]

is it confirmed ?

[indigo ridge]

the going wipe on phase 2?

[uneven falcon]

Are they wiping progress on phase2/dec 20th or will new fresh start servers be added?

[molten cedar]

There's nothing in the News channel yet.

[tight pagoda]

items are soulbound and only a percentage of materials drop upon death?

[abstract moss]

is there a way to cast on mouseover instead of targeting

[desert ivy]

@pure nymph @indigo ridge @uneven falcon Steven confirmed today that they're planning to do a wipe when phase 2 begins, yes

[pure nymph]

okok

[desert ivy]

Most items aren't soulbound although there are some exceptions.

[indigo ridge]

where steven confirmed it?

[molten cedar]

Are you sure you're going back to the same server, Oggrim?

[quiet wave]

yes

[molten cedar]

It keeps changing servers on me when I relog.

I haven't had that happen. Did you run a repair?

[quiet wave]

no ill look in to it, Thanks

[molten cedar]

Welcome. I run the repair often. 🙂

[civic veldt]

How do you form a party?

[zealous flame]

Got it, thank you!

[eternal trout]

I meet the specs. what gives?
GPU staying at 100% usage and PC stuttering when game runs.

[sonic zodiac]

Are there any videos or websites that show available weapons in alpha 2? Or if anyone knows a good drop table for a 2h sword at lvl 10?

I saw one player with that goblin cleaver weapon and it looked very cool

[shadow bluff]

That’s a loaded question.. but are you running at max settings?

[eternal trout]

Lowest settings actually.

[shadow bluff]

Best to mess with your settings till you find a balance. Just remember things may not be optimized or run as smoothly as the focus is the servers currently.

[eternal trout]

I don't think its just a small optimization issue. Its gotta be some setting on my end thats wrong or some weird configuration I have. I'll try to figure it out and maybe it will help someone later. Was hoping someone else already had something similar.

[solid bone]

guys iv killed the sout of eloris gobin thing its telling me to like 10 times and it still doesnt say complete

[sage ferry]

Hello i had a question on the Alpha II realm uptimes. I've read somewhere that it is going to be up every weekend for testing going on from now on? is this true? or is it up just for this weekend, and then up again in decemeber

[pine gyro]

there seem to be a lot of questsions for which no one knows the answers... are these being forwarded to the devs at least after each weekend test?

[elfin flicker]

Every weekend until December 20th when it changes to 5 days a week uptime.

[sage ferry]

Thank you!

[wise prawn]

So with the votes happening, what happens if the server goes down before they end, does it just pick up next week?

[elfin flicker]

Are you talking about mayor votes?

[wise prawn]

Yes

[elfin flicker]

Not too sure about that one but I'd assume they pick up next week.

[grim cairn]

rogue or summoner on the 20th?

[shy sentinel]

Wondering the same tbh.

[grim cairn]

they switched from UE4 to UE5 a few months ago

ok i'll rush

[harsh prawn]

where can i find a Animal Husbandry Table?

[slender shell]

Not sure it's the right channel to ask this in but please redirect me to the correct channe if it isn't :

Whenever i try to install the game via the launcher, as soon as download starts, the launcher immediatly closes, no error message, nothin. The launcher just insta closes and I can't seem to download the game at all. Anybody got a similar issue?

[pine gyro]

I believe there is one at one of the stations to the west of lionhold

[harsh prawn]

Thank you

[pine gyro]

either the agricultural supply or the hideoworks one, they are near each other (opposite sites of the river)

[harsh prawn]

okay

so treasure maps work? do you need a shovel or something?

[pine gyro]

they work, there is a red shovel at the location

[harsh prawn]

ahh ok

so I dont need anything special?

[pine gyro]

nope, just need to find the spot the text on the map points you to... sometimes the marker is not quite right

[harsh prawn]

ok

[flat edge]

How do I remove these empty hotkey windows?

[harsh prawn]

I just had to relog to fix it

[small crane]

anyone know where i can get the rest of the level 10 gear? Equipment vendor only had three pieces

[pine gyro]

recipes... I think there is a vendor that sells some of the recipes for other pieces and others you have to find from drops I think

my alt found a belt recipe but I can't make them for my main 😦

[harsh prawn]

Where would you train a Vershan Komodo? Its not listed in the Animal Husbandry Table?

[empty birch]

Expanding on a question from the Wiki (Q: Will players have the ability to innovate within the crafting system creating unique items or designs? If so, how much customization can players expect when it comes to crafting their own gear or items?)

Can grandmaster artisans gain access to tools similar to what the devs use, and use them to make cosmetic gear to sell in the cosmetic shop? Intrepid of course would get a cut and this would spur the in-game economy.

[pine gyro]

... that sounds like a feature request

[wide delta]

Not regenerating health, sta or mana. Logged out/in didnt fix. How fix?

[pine gyro]

go to a different zone ... my server Joeva is fine, but winstead is garbage

[limber terrace]

how do you level up mining so you can mine more nodes outside the starting zones

[steel sluice]

iv installed the launcher on my new pc and i get the XINPUT1_3.dll not found error is there anything i can do?

[proven jewel]

Where did they announce the wipe?

[arctic sky]

keep mining until level 10 and then go to the blacksmith vendor west of Lionhold and get your apprentice mining

[proven jewel]

Look in the known issues part of thr forums. There's a link to download some directx stuff

[steel sluice]

yeah forced into windows 11 and all my stuff broken

:(

[limber terrace]

thanks

[loud prism]

is there a way to promote/demote and remove players from a guild

[lilac rose]

Is it impossible to get an apprentice pickaxe? I see that you need slate weapon mold to craft one, but you need an apprentice pickaxe to get slate...

[thin fox]

Does anyone know where they drop light armor?

lvl more

10

[violet thorn]

can you only become a citizen once

[polar escarp]

will we be able to use mouse scroll up and down for keybinds eventually? they are my best keybinds

[thin fox]

where do they drop light clothing?

[limpid fable]

i think you need apprentice certification to mine slate not the apprentice pickaxe

[alpine vale]

My character is stuck in a group that doesnt exist. Can't press leave and dont see any party members. Anyone know how to fix it? Already tried relog

[oblique robin]

you invite someone to ur group, then leave group after they join

[mystic knot]

Will there be an extension of the test this week

[elfin flicker]

no

theres's a cooldown though

[lilac rose]

i haven't tested with slate specifically, but every other apprentice node requires an apprentice pickaxe

[robust pond]

Hello.

Anyone knows if rtx 4070 gpu can run ashes in ultra quality?

[arctic sky]

just try and seee

i run the 4070 super jusst fine in ultra

[limpid fable]

what other nodes require apprentice cert?

[lilac rose]

emerald and iron

[near stump]

Iron is Journeyman

[cunning mirage]

Where can i find the rules for the test?

[copper shard]

I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue for a friend who is having trouble connecting. Internet speed, ping, all good. Is getting error code 33. Any ideas?

[near stump]

Tin is Apprentice

[lilac rose]

emerald and tin both require apprentice pickaxe

[near stump]

Correct, I was correcting you. You said Iron was apprentice. It is not.

[lilac rose]

correct, but i was not correcting you

[frail seal]

Have we figured out if monsters have different armor values? Trying to figure out the use case for pen vs crit as a ranger

[robust pond]

I will buy the gpu, that's why I'm verifying that first xD

[shadow sierra]

i think i got it

[mystic knot]

Hunter apprentice crafting tools are not available?

[waxen umbra]

do i need to talk to someone to become a hunter?

like for grem carcass do i need something to get them or do they just drop

[shy epoch]

can be turned into crafting stuff

[arctic sky]

you need to do the sweat of your brow quest i believe then you just pet the animals that show up as white

[lofty ruin]

First time joining the testing. How often are the servers open to play?

[arctic sky]

current phase is weekend only

[lofty ruin]

is it this weekend or every weekend?

[arctic sky]

[heady quarry]

are treasure maps working?

[haughty lark]

I’m not seeing anything about this on the wiki, but is it an intended mechanic that some materials are destroyed when you die? I know there is some dropped, but even when you take it back, some of the materials seems to be destroyed from your inventory.

[plucky hatch]

what time are the servers going down for NA?

[lusty nova]

20% poof + 20% on corpse

[haughty lark]

Got it thank you

[haughty lark]

In 5 hours I believe

[south zodiac]

Anyone tried Sealed from Sanctus or know if it's bugged? No mission area is showing on the map I can't figure out where marshes are

[shrewd solstice]

Can we send clips of bugs in the bug channel?

[vague shuttle]

anyone figure this out?

[junior shell]

can you equip it and repair all?

[vague shuttle]

na tried a bunch of stuff

[junior shell]

:/

[near stump]

Give it to someone else to repair. Worked for us

Or give it to me, I want one

[vague shuttle]

sus

[near stump]

I’m being serious, give it to a guildie to repair

[rough field]

has there been any confirmation if they are wiping in december?

[near stump]

Steven said it today on stream

[vague shuttle]

alright ill try, tyty

[rough field]

that they will wipe?

[near stump]

Yes

Dec 20th

[azure dock]

is there a storage facility in lionshold?

[thorny kestrel]

if you cancel do you get you mat back? example if i am tyring to the mount but get the beast of burden can i cancle and try again?

[elfin flicker]

It's near the south gate.

[worthy crown]

Are the fishing commissions not working? I can't ever get the fish I catch to count towards the accepted commission

[elfin flicker]

Apparently if you catch them all you can then hand it in.

[rough field]

is rogue coming at the start of phase 2 or during phase 2?

[elfin flicker]

It just doesn't update the counter while you're doing it.

[worthy crown]

oh great! thank you

[elfin flicker]

Hasn't been confirmed but probably during.

[light hamlet]

anyone has issues with their pc after they close out of the game?

[supple yarrow]

does mount rarity matter?

[worthy crown]

I have to force close the launcher after I leave the game

[light hamlet]

@worthy crown my issue is my mouse and keyboard just stop working afterwards

[oak loom]

Is it a bug, Alpha or the way they want the rarity of Zinc and Copper to be?

[chrome hound]

anyone know how you make a wand? i am trying to see if you can make all of your gear.

[balmy portal]

how can I train a wild beast (ie Wolf/bear) to be a mount once captured?

[oak loom]

At the animal husbandry station

[balmy portal]

Thank you 🙂 Is there anything special that is needed or is it already active? I could not find much info online for this.

[oak loom]

You'll need wood (100 fuel worth) and like 67 silver

[balmy portal]

Awesome, Thank you very much 🙂

[tacit flame]

has anyone found a solution to this yet?

[violet thorn]

im screwed right? no way to make this into a mount

[last minnow]

close out and redo it again

[bleak dune]

will we get to keep our characters through all the alphas and betas

[last minnow]

Is there a problem taking out from Storage back to Inventory?

[junior shell]

doubtful, they'll try, but probably not

[violet thorn]

yeah relog usually fixes it

[last minnow]

aha ok thank you

[whole reef]

Is there a way to contact a gm in game we found a game breaking "feature" that could probably cause them to server wipe if it catches on

[junior shell]

You can try to dm one of the community managers Nyx or Vaknar .. but I don't know if they see kindly to that .. otherwise use /bug in game ..not sure how fast they'll see it though

[kind estuary]

Maybe include 'dupe exploit' or whatever is relevant and they might have a keyword system escalate its severity.

[junior shell]

Maybe you should just post openly about it .. if people hard abuse it, Intrepid can use it as practice to pinpoint abusers and how they want to punish that behaviour 🙂

[fluid ridge]

How long de we need to wait until we're able to talk in alpha two channels?

[junior shell]

TBH I'd take a hard reset at the launch of P2, then we can test if the servers can handle the inrush, after all the improvements they've done the weeks up to P2

[arctic sky]

when you are actually in the a2 test you can talk

[junior shell]

Have you linked your account?

[arctic sky]

if you are you need to link your account

[fluid ridge]

Thanks, connected account was the issue.

[molten cedar]

When a node is mined, it randomly respawns... could be any metal. And since most of us can't mine anything higher than copper, most nodes never get cycled around to copper again. 😦

[slender bough]

They do completely reset once in a while though

[molten cedar]

Automatically, or just when the area crashes?

[oak loom]

That's kinda sucky tbh

[slender bough]

Automatically is what I think I've seen..... gonna leave some room for error here, so take it with a grain. 🙂

[molten cedar]

Yeah, once we're all past starting levels it won't be so bad, but right now it hurts.

[slender bough]

All I know is I ran through my favorite area and was explaining this exact thing to my wife, and a minute or two later, going back the other direction, it had all cycled to something different.

[tulip ravine]

guyds

when suver close?

[arctic sky]

#alpha-two-news message

[oak loom]

That seems like a horrible design. Trees, flowers, wolves etc none of them cycle like that

[heavy widget]

Pretty please, can you make numerical adjustments to the XP rewarded by commissions so that they're actually somewhat competitive with grinding - the questing right now is so bad that it's really funneling players into a small number of high-efficiency grinding spots. I think we should be testing a variety of things, not just "how good can we grind" for like 80% of the time.

[slender bough]

I see both sides. If they are static, they will be farmed so hard the end result will be the same: you will never get any because it will be gotten by someone getting paid to run the route on a precise timer to lock down the spawns.

[junior shell]

I've mined copper and zink on the exact same spot multiple times .. I'm not sure it's completely random?

[slender bough]

It is - that was just coincidence

A nice one, I give you 🙂

[oak loom]

I'm not saying static, but keep the percentage of low level mining nodes in check

[molten cedar]

Yeah, I don't think they should be static. Maybe just have the rotate timer faster during the first couple of weeks of play when everyone is low level.

[slender bough]

I do a lot of mining in an area that doesn't seem to get a lot of traffic, and - at least in that area - no single spawn location has always had the same exact material every time.

[junior shell]

I don't know what to tell you .. I wish it would be fully random .. I hate taking routes .. but I can literally take a route right now and get a lot of the same spots

[slender bough]

I definitely agree that the randomness of it might be better off constrained to a particular "tier".

[molten cedar]

They should be able to code so a certain number of nodes in any area are active (randomly) at copper level.

[north fractal]

Anyone know how to close the hot bar skills i click button and got all open slots im not using... what button do i click to close it

[ornate lodge]

has anyone found Rickard yet?

[junior shell]

Same with granite and basalt .. they are way more present some places than others

[slender bough]

Ya, there are certainly ways to implement a system to avoid what happens now - which is, when people are only able to focus on the T1 nodes (granite/basalt/rubies/copper/zinc), eventually, they will all be randomly replaced by T2+, and at that point, it's locked until.... something ... be it a forced refresh on a timer, a server crash/restart, etc.

(depending on whether your server has built a Smithy, of course)

[junior shell]

All this talk about not enough copper/tin is making me think I'm delusional for thinking I find plenty xD .. maybe it's just all in my head

[slender bough]

I find plenty - I literally have stacks of both copper/zinc and fragments in multiple node storages. Hmm... maybe I shouldn't say that out loud, lest some begin to think they can't find it because of me. 😎

[light breach]

where do you go to start the process of getting a freehold?

[junior shell]

not implemented yet

[slender bough]

I don't think you can do that yet.

freeholds are for rich people

Having an issue with resolution settings. Fullscreen (which my computer needs to be in to have decent fps) is not allowing me to swap down from 4k resolution. Windowed Fullscreen also locks in 4k resolution. Windowed lets me change resolution but changes the actual window size. How to fix this?

Lvl doesn’t play much of a role in dps as it does in other games. Gear is more impactful

[gilded sphinx]

guy kept complaing at me about it

[near stump]

I’m a lvl 15 fighter and I smack

[gilded sphinx]

lol one would hope

[near stump]

Also I’m more durable and aoe dmg is big

All classes have their strengths and weaknesses

[leaden zephyr]

Lvl 10 where is a good place to go grinding for gear?

[near stump]

In a group, highwayman hills

[leaden zephyr]

Thanks!

[gilded sphinx]

yea its just i kept taking agroo in hightway men

[near stump]

Thats a tank issue

[gilded sphinx]

we had no tank they alseep

lol

just thought it was od thx for helping with info

[near stump]

Compare weapons with that fighter, that may shed some light on things

[gilded sphinx]

they gone now left party and went to grind somwhere new

[midnight leaf]

It's voting for mayor only open for 2 hours?

[silent berry]

0-5 on getting a pallas cat mount......my lord

[devout ferry]

Is the game good? Probably been asked 6,3884,63848,738484 times

(Srs)

[inner rose]

haha "good" is a very subjective word. in my opinion it has the groundwork to be something special, but it still needs refinement and polish. but that's to be expected for the current stage its in

[silent berry]

my RNG is terrible, but game is great for an A2

[devout ferry]

Excellent answer, not a normie answer, gold star and dm me your bank details I’ll send you some cash aswell

In Monopoly money :/

[lofty kindle]

I want to use my friends referral code but i already have an account do i just have to make a new account in order to use it?

[arctic sky]

yup

[kind estuary]

thats brutal lol

just grinding the 75s for my first was a pain

[thin plinth]

It's great for where it's at, and has all the signs of being amazing on release

[young herald]

how do i change to group loot? it seems like it's stuck on ffa

[wise prawn]

Hello friends and foes, where would a man catch some salmon

I have tried a river and a lake, yet obtained no salmon, if that matters

[wild hornet]

Hello. I have agreed to the terms, set my language, and read the rules. How can I send a message in the #alpha channels?

[last minnow]

Were can I find Wilted Snowdrop?

[shrewd harbor]

I think I saw this question answers in the forums try going to the website and then the forum

[last minnow]

says ranparts is that the walls

[wary arrow]

How can I invite my friend to my party without him being near me?

[shrewd harbor]

https://youtu.be/Kngciym4IyQ?si=tWRgLv3PZE7XLRgr
This is what I found

[balmy portal]

is there anything special needed to be able to use the animal husbandry? I am at the one in Winstead and it looks run down, there is no NPC either.

[shrewd harbor]

@last minnow Sorry

[last minnow]

I see thank you

[shrewd harbor]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/User_interface_commands
Maybe this would work? Use The tell player function and it may let you select their name?

Or be in a guild with them

Or maybe if your on each others friends list you can find an option

[balmy portal]

the animal husbandry is where yo can train wild animals to be mounts

[shrewd harbor]

Sorry wrong person

[violet thorn]

is RMT against TOS yet

[balmy portal]

yes

[kind estuary]

Theres a default one at agriculture area but its only t0 or t1

[balmy portal]

I was not aware of that, I will check that one out. I am at the one NW of the Gemsprings

[kind estuary]

red circle area here, right is spawn

[balmy portal]

so I have to be a citizen of the regoin to use it?

[elfin flicker]

Is there anyone we can @ for the server being insanely laggy and needing a restart?

[kind estuary]

this is a free for all POI one

i have no idea if nodes need citizenship or not

[balmy portal]

thank you very much 🙂

[kind estuary]

np

[warm path]

Not sure if I'm the only one who experienced it. Vyra server - Winstead Node, experiencing heavy rubberbanding and crashes.

[grim cairn]

is there any mechanic that de level's a node planned or implemented?

[elfin flicker]

Nodes can be seiged and destroyed.

[cerulean hound]

Anyone's computer crashing when loading? Went to load into server, computer said no and just shut down entirely

[grim cairn]

so what happens if i have my stuff stored at a node and it's destoyed

[grim cairn]

my buddy's PC crashes when he tries to play

[cerulean hound]

Lmk if he finds a fix, gonna reinstall and see if that helps but it was weird for sure

[grim cairn]

he's building a new pc, not as a direct fix so anything may not be valid for you

[verbal valve]

Did they extend hours for play test this weekend?

[short quarry]

Anyone had issues with mayoral commissions? I just went out and harvested 25 trees and it won't let me turn them in to the box by the board (in Miraleth if that matters)

[short quarry]

Yes, thank the American servicemembers lmao

[ancient egret]

a node can delevel from lack of activity

[ancient egret]

you lose it all for people to loot

[copper totem]

why do some of my attacks just not do any damage , it doesnt say its like a missed attack or blocked but sometimes i have like 9+ attacks in a row and they just don't do any damage

[grim cairn]

no safe bank sounds like it isn't thought out

[summer venture]

its safe if its in a town that is kept safe

[ancient egret]

no it 100% is its meant to make it so you will defend your node

[ancient egret]

no if the node is destroyed anything you kept in that node is gone

[shrewd harbor]

Commonly reported bug from what I’ve heard

[grim cairn]

sounds like that one station in EVE

[ancient egret]

its a core part of the game and will never be changed

the loot that is in the node will be in ruins that the attackers can fight over to loot

[grim cairn]

so it's gonna be a zerg node wiping lol

[ancient egret]

nope

[summer venture]

ideally your node is defended is what i meant

[ancient egret]

they do stay they will just be looted bye the people that destroy the node

[grim cairn]

and the attackers risk basically nothing to do this

not vast storage amounts of items, just the wood and whatever for their seige weapons

[ancient egret]

wut yes they do the quest and scroll to declare a siege is costly

[grim cairn]

costly as in hundres of players worth of items that aren't online at the time err?

or like 5g

[ancient egret]

bruh this is not a argument in good faith

[grim cairn]

you can seiege a node in alpha?

[ancient egret]

in phase 3 yes

not yet

phase 3 is may next year

[grim cairn]

so substantial investment hasn't been decided yet

[summer venture]

they will work to balance it so its not just nodes toppling every other day im sure

[ancient egret]

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Node_sieges just go read what its about

[keen notch]

are there any dungeons lvl 6 can do?

[ancient egret]

solo heck no XD

[keen notch]

yeh for real but in a pt

just so i can LFG for it

[ancient egret]

there are nothing like a normal dungeon there are points of interest around the world that you can farm

i would ask in the channel of the server you are on instead of here tho

you need to link you account to discord to speak in those channels tho

[keen notch]

got ya

[mental frost]

Hey, does anyone know what the resource is to get the "Node Cloaks" from our node?

[merry jasper]

When I buy the Guild Token from the guild vendor, how do I use it to create a guild? Talking to the Guild Manager and saying "I'd like to create a guild" just opens the vendor window.

[raven oyster]

What is the best way to get materials or purchase from other players since there isnt a global marketplace?

[elfin flicker]

Ask in the chat.

WTB <xxx>

Get your social interaction on.

[raven oyster]

yea, well Global chat is spammed so I figured that wouldnt be the best way.

[shrewd harbor]

Find a guild
Guilds are your friend in any mmo

[elfin flicker]

You can ask in the city specific chat as well.

But just put a message in global, I've traded stuff with people through global

[ancient egret]

its the only current way there are player stalls and shops planned for phase 3 that lets players sell stuff and then eco nodes will have auction houses tho those are only in node you cant buy from across the map

[torn coyote]

Hello, I wanted to play, idk how, im not really a gamer. I can't create an account for some reason I got this message

how to play?

[solid wave]

On this link I could see that there are plans for OCE and SEA servers, and for the OCE they did mention not until maybe Beta but what about SEA is there any chance to get any Asia server in Alpha 2 ?

Playing from Japan and it's barely playable.

i have no idea i would put in a cs ticket

Include more keywords after this command to search for answers to some of our FAQ (ex. !cs password reset), or open a Customer Support ticket directly here if you are having account or technical issues: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

[ancient egret]

there are no plans to add any servers outside of EU and US for alpha 2 that is only for beta and onwards

[wide flume]

someone is taking level 30 raid bossses to lions help is there anyway to clear them?

[winter matrix]

is the dec 20th wipe real and if so is there an official announcement about it?

[modest tundra]

Like in Shadowbane when we would pull mobs to the safe citys????

[wide flume]

yes it sucks

[thick anvil]

can you change node citizenship?

[ancient egret]

its confirmed bye steven in a interview

[thick anvil]

like could i leave one node and bea citizen of another

[raven oyster]

What is the graphic setting that increases the distance you see mobs and players? I dont see anything until im on top of it for some reason

[winter matrix]

tyty

[ancient egret]

long story short yes

[ancient egret]

it should be rendering distance

[thick anvil]

in lamense terms what does that entail

[ancient egret]

depends on a lot of factors currently you just lose any contributions you had in the node but later on there will be penalties for leaving depending on when and how like if you leave during a node siege you will get a massive penalty

[raven oyster]

I dont have anything in my video settings that says "rendering distance" is it somewhere else?

[thick anvil]

okay, the latter portion makes sense. I just meant if i hastily choose a node, realize i dont like the people in the node, then want to leave

[torn coyote]

I a bit confused, so theres no way to play if you are outside usa?

[raven oyster]

Seriously... Does everyone else have a render distance option and I dont?

[torn coyote]

can someone tell me please, how to play the game, whats the situtation??

what? not even a beta?

[tulip hatch]

Are you running into an error, whats the problem

[torn coyote]

so the current game is a test? can I play it?

[tulip hatch]

This is in an alpha test state - you may purchase testing access to it if you wish

[ancient egret]

he cant make a account and i directed him to make a ticket seems he is confused

[tulip hatch]

ohh I see
Make sure the username or email is not one that is taken

[hoary sleet]

Is anyone able to point me to where exactly to find Nangolith the spinner?

[vernal venture]

@hoary sleet ive found nangolith northwest of baneswood cemetary twice so far.

[drowsy arch]

whats this guy

[neat aspen]

how do i donate, or craft or whatever these items to get these tickets

[cursive bough]

npc next to storage npc

also anyone know wat the ### ms is under the FPS when u press shift+alt+F?

[light zinc]

Where does one make the Hunting Bows for Hunting?

[near stump]

It’s milliseconds for something, not ping

[cursive bough]

anyway to check ping yet?

[minor iris]

Anyone see stuff like this happening?

[near stump]

You can find a rough estimate on the internet based on your ip away from where servers are located. For example, NA is US Central

[cursive bough]

wats EU location?

cuz as na im on eu and have never had any lat issues

[near stump]

There are server workers. When he disappears it’s because you’re crossing a server worker. When you’re not in the same server worker for him, you can see him because the two workers aren’t communicating properly.

[narrow river]

what level do you promote from novice to apprentice in artisan skills?

[minor iris]

Great, thanks for explaining. Sounds like this is a known issue then

[near stump]

10 is when you can. You have to go find the person for it to happen once you hit 10 though

[red valve]

anyone know a good spot to grind hunting? besides the pallas cat spot

[fading monolith]

Where throwers?

[glacial turtle]

Are servers coming down tonight if so when?

[fair lynx]

rangers out there: shortbow or longbow

[earnest swan]

Is there a way to check how your guild progresses? Or how to promote people within a guild?

[buoyant vale]

so after monday are we not gonna be able to play til the next wave in december?

[earnest swan]

It’s available every weekend till December

[buoyant vale]

ahhhh ok every weekend ty

[earnest swan]

Np

[cerulean dove]

Is Gear Enchantment / Enchanting scrolls in the game yet?

Like useable* if so what they do

[dry anchor]

So canceling animal husbandry jobs makes you lose your coin you put into it?

and the wood you put in it to.

[finite mesa]

just watched the nyce "asmongold drama" video where Steven had to SPAM, ......Leave the BALD one alone. Im surprised Steven didn't give asmon GOD mod

I'm glad he didn't. it's fun to kill streamers

[noble bane]

how do I get grem carcass?

[kind estuary]

walk up to a white named grem and hit f

[visual frigate]

if you watch the interview with Piratesoftware, he tried to summon Asmon to him but player tracler was bugged

[finite mesa]

now I'm seeing that asmongold getting preferential treatment. Steven BANNING Players for killing him Amsongold multiple times ..... WTF how is that fair treatment for all

[visual frigate]

he gave them 3 warnings to stop griefing in the starting area

[finite mesa]

companys always want to protect steamers

[modest tundra]

red flag

[finite mesa]

protect your cash cows, it's common practice we all now it

[quasi matrix]

killing new players is the starting area is coward behaviour and actively harmful to the health of the game

[finite mesa]

I loved doing that as a lvl 60 in starting zones in WOW

[modest tundra]

dont pvp in a pvp game

[tender hearth]

Ashes of Creation Wiki

PvX

Ashes of Creation is a PvX game. Players will naturally encounter both PvP and PvE elements. It is unlikely that a player could purely focus on just PvP or just PvE.

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...

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/PvX

[desert ivy]

It's a PvX game, not PvP

[modest tundra]

if h e is flagfed pvp shut the fuck up

[desert ivy]

Asmon wasn't flagged PvP

[quasi matrix]

PvP is fine, griefing isn't

[modest tundra]

then how is he getting kille Pvp

[desert ivy]

You can still be killed by other players even if you're not flagged up

[quasi matrix]

because this game has some kind of PvP on all the time

[modest tundra]

Player flagging

The open world PvP flagging system is designed to deter people from griefing other players without limiting opportunities for open conflict.

We do incentivize players to fight back, or to participate in PvP through the flagging system, but not to PK. Not to go corrupt. – Steven Sharif
Players can participate in open world PvP with one another wi...

https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Player_flagging

[desert ivy]

YOu obviously know nothing about the game so take some time to read up

[quasi matrix]

I'm curious if they'll be able to make corruption an actual deterrent to killed non-flagged players.

[visual frigate]

people thinking that griefing a lvl 1 is pvp obviously know nothing

[modest tundra]

I have played hous and have not been killed without flaging pvpv

[visual frigate]

they dont want to stop you from killing non flagged player, they just want it to have a risk to it

[desert ivy]

Because that's the experience most people experience

[visual frigate]

if I flag my self for pvp I could kill a non flagged player

I did it when someone looted my body I found him flagged my self and killed him

[kind estuary]

I logged in to immediately die when i started lol

[visual frigate]

this a pvx game pvp is always a possibility, but griefing low level player is really bad behavior

[modest tundra]

he is a bitch that wants to make shit out of nothing

[finite mesa]

Asmon did say a while back when he was Reviewing AOC that he would never want to invest in a game where he looses XP on death. Has his opinion changed ? who knows ... but I'm betting on that it hasn't

[quasi matrix]

technically you don't lose xp on death

[errant zenith]

buy a player commodity in my node and taking it to another makes me gold how?

[quasi matrix]

you get a buffer that stops you earning more, I dunno how different that feels but

[west tangle]

where can you go to get brass gear once lvl10

[finite mesa]

after watching all the times he dies im surised he wasn't -1 level

[quasi matrix]

luckily they don't do that in AoC I hate delevelling in MMOs

[modest tundra]

AoC is a long game MMO that doesnt fit with typicl MMOs this is a log game MMO your going to have a hard time rushing to end game.

[finite mesa]

steven should have just had a us sever named STREAMERS - AKA 4 streamers and their zergs

[crystal beacon]

stop spamming the questions channel with streamer hate lol

chill out

[visual frigate]

they pretty much on the same
server so yeah and its all good so far

[finite mesa]

i like streamers just so long as their not on my server lol

is guild bank in game yet ??

[noble bane]

how much do rubies go for

[warm path]

whats the button to toggle pvp?

[quick moss]

my launcher never seems to finish file operations even when it finally reaches 100%. launch game button never lights up. Any ideas what might be wrong?

[visual frigate]

alt f

[meager yarrow]

It just takes awhile in my experience. The launcher needs some polish and isn’t very optimized. I’ve been testing awhile and it’s gotten better but I can’t even run anything else while updating this game. I try to update overnight when I go to bed.

[quick moss]

dang. hopefully it gets a little love and care before next weekend then. thanks for the heads up.

[elfin flicker]

Also you can just hold alt and attack someone.

[supple idol]

Is there any way to adjust mouse sensitivity yet?

[still forge]

I have an Idea about PvP on the realm, why can't you just make a cool down that prevents a player from killing the same person twice in a certain amount of time....say like 6-10 hours, this way people can still act Chaotic Neutral, and get their booty/loot from sinister ways, but their really isn't any reason for any individual to continuously kill the same player, somehow figure out a way to prevent multiple attacks, you could probably implement this using the contrition system you already have in place. Look at it this way....I live in a rough neiborhood, If I come along and kick your ass, you're gonna need some time to recouperate before coming back at me, as well as, I would need some time to dwell on the situation before commiting the act again.

[short quarry]

Pls halp

How do I turn these in?

[vestal ivy]

can you get a griphon as a mount in alpha 2 and if so do they fly?

[rotund lodge]

i saw someone flying on a mount earlier, not sure if it was a grf or not

[vestal ivy]

it might have been a mayor

[knotty vapor]

Imagine being immortal for 6-10 hours! Terrible idea

[still forge]

not immortal, others can still kill you

[knotty vapor]

lol

[rotund lodge]

ok newb question because i just joined. is there a death penalty, corpse drop, are players that kill you able to loot your corpse?

[still forge]

yes

[vague shuttle]

stuff in ur mats section wil drop, not all of it

[rotund lodge]

just mats?

[vague shuttle]

yea unless ur bad, then u can drop gear

[rotund lodge]

so you have to retrieve your corpse?

[vague shuttle]

if u wnat ur stuff back

[rotund lodge]

lose xp on death?

[torn lava]

yes

[rotund lodge]

is corpse marked on map?

[torn lava]

yep

a tombstone

[vague shuttle]

anyone know if treasure maps work, i think im at the right spot but

[warm ore]

i havent been able to get a treasure map to even open

[knotty vapor]

Ok, the only way i can imagine this, is when you killed by another player, they can not kill you again another 6-10 hours because your character lies in the hospital for the next 6-10 hours and recovers, without interfering with me farming mobs and without coming near me

[thorny wharf]

Are servers still up?

[still forge]

That's what a guild is for, send in the calvery

[kind estuary]

#alpha-two-news

[knotty vapor]

Dude, it's just ridiculous. If you can't protect yourself, just walk away and let others do their stuff. Stop turning every game in to PVE

[thorny wharf]

I guess that’s a yes

[still forge]

Not making much sence....how can you walk away if I get twenty people together and continuously kill you....I do like the "Time Out" option.

[knotty vapor]

You just getting up in safe place

[still forge]

random spawn locations? ah ok

[main sandal]

When might you get twenty people to kill you?

[still forge]

when you're asmondgold

[knotty vapor]

Are you Asmongold? If yes, i will unsubscribe lol

[main sandal]

At some point there will be safe zones

currently there are not because it is not priority to be added to the game

the starting location will be safer on release

[austere rune]

Hullo how do I chat in my servers channel?

[main sandal]

I am assuming you have to connect your discord

go to the ashes of creation website and go to account then go to account connections and click on connect with discord

it should give you the alpha 2 role

However, I haven't done that yet so I can't be 100% sure

[austere rune]

Found it thank you

[torpid oxide]

Anyone else having trouble with trades?

[vague thistle]

Does someone know how does the rank of crafting work? I crafted a pickaxe tool (with purple basalt mod/blue wood/heroic copper) and it seems there is 100% chance to have a blue pickaxe, does it mean crafting item always refers to the less rare material raw you use? I would apppreciate if someone could confirm me 😁

[fringe siren]

has there been any talk about increasing the exp gain of commissions, crafting, etc?

[short quarry]

Anyone know anything about this???????????????

[keen notch]

how do u whisper?

[primal trail]

do /tell

[keen notch]

ty

[naive cargo]

can you bind scroll wheel to abilities in this game?

[celest phoenix]

Or just vlick the box in your chat en choose the option instead of 'global'

[keen notch]

tried asking in global but where can you find rocks bro, literally can't find them 😂

[flat sluice]

so i lost my caravan in the open, i was doing a caravan and the server crashed when i logged in it disappeared

is there any way i can save it ): it was a very upgraded caravan

[knotty vapor]

Sadly no

[naive cargo]

well, that's unfortunate. goes from automatically playing to no chance immediately. ty for the answer

[knotty vapor]

Hope it's coming, bcs it's the most important binds for sure

And yes, i report it as a bug already

[noble bane]

what is the best armor type for fighter? Is it Heavy?

[vague sierra]

is the alpha 2 open on the weekend until the Dec or just this weekend?
