You need seeds, poop, water, to grow the flax then you craft it.
or just gather flax
Ngl I don't think I've ever seen wild flax.
it s a small purple bush, kinda hard to see
go to a town, press e on the building, it s gonna be simple to figure out
what is better for rangers spellbow or reguklar bow
Whatever your damage and skills scale with
is the bug where you can't buy a new caravan after losing one still active?
I can't seem to buy one?
shitty ass caravans dont even turn

I'm not getting any xp from mobs my own level, can anyone help?
Are you killing them alone? Or is someone else tagging them?
is there a problem with the login server?
Tried closing game and verifying game or clearing cache? Maybe try running in admin
Not sure. Never had an issue. I can only recommend closing it or restarting pc and try running in admin mode.
have the exact same problem
Maybe login is down then
how do you verify?
Repair game install is an option or anything?
yeah i cant get past the verification
u cant get to repair and stuff
Which quest drops these items? They are annoying. Church of the seven stars - area.
I want to abandon quest or complete it
how do i hide the unused skill squares
anybdy playing with 2 monitors i did a alt tab and the game switched monitors cant get it back to main
after last weekend's test, I attempted to load the launcher to update the game to play for this weekend. Every time I try updating the game, the launcher shows an empty status bar and displays "Installing prerequisite software," and then nothing happens. I've left the launcher loading for hours at a time, and the status never progresses. I've tried deleting all the files from the first download to reinstall the entire game again, and it still won't progress. Has anyone else had this issue? Any ideas on how to fix it?
i patched it yesterday, but i cannot auth right now
maybe it's the same problem
it seems auth.ashesofcreation.com is having trouble
hopefully the devs notice, ive been seening alot of people mention issues with auth and launcher problems
Super newb question time, how do i poert back to my saved area?
ok ty
How do i hide the unused squares
542 am in the usa Arizona time
so NY is 3 hours ahead, and california is 1 hour behind
hmm then they might check forum in 2h or so from now, maybe..
wonder where they sit
man this is so annoying. only a weekend to log in, and then this..
I'm having similar issues
Says can't reach their servers yo auth. I just did a restart after the launcher updated to help but now my PC is updated
Updating*
I can post a pic when I get back up
theres no windows update for me. it's all updated
about materials dupe, if I gathered them in open world I can have them?
Check settings/ options. Should be a check box to toggle that
i mean if they arnt malcouslyt duped mats youre fine
Anyone playing on 5120x1440? The quest text are too small. Anyway to increase those?
have you incerased your HUD size?
thanks
Have you tried a full delete and reinstall of the launcher? Not just add/remove. but full delete all files. Even app data.
Not yet. I just woke up haha
I'm installing the game on the launcher for my girlfriend and it's gotten stuck twice. Is it okay to close the launcher to start again? Feels like it re-downloads the entire game?
i'm uninstalling it now
When you say stuck, do you mean the green bar kinda stops moving?
File operation got stuck both times
It was 100% download last time. Now at 93%
But I get this feeling it re-downloaded everything
LOL i cant log into the website to download the launcher either, WTF
I have, did nothing. Total scrub.
good thing i have an old version in my download folder
I’ve found that it can take some time and it just sits and sits.
If you quit the launcher. Make sure you actually also use task manager to end task. It can get stuck.
So end it but with the task manager?
I was abnle to at least do that
Alright
Is framegen not working for anyone else?
yeah it is also disabled for me, "Hardware scheduling disabled"
I can enable it but it has no effect. Was a huge improvment in performance last weeek.
Anyone having issues , have you tried disabling antivirus?
yes i cant enable it. i cant becasue of an error which says "not supported by rhi"
Yes.
how can I pack small crate with wood and rocks? I havea quest but can't figure it out
You can log into the website tho correct?
is there a way for me to report exploiters?
Sure can!
Can a 1660 Ti run this game without getting the direct X 12 issue
I deleted my horse by accident and went to the stablemaster but when i click ''I lost my Horse'' nothing happened after
You can use /bug in game to report the exploit. The players don’t really matter. But the exploit does.
Can also report on forums.
ive allready reported the exploit and gotten multiple people in my guild to do it to
this is like a xp and drop exploit thats kinda on par with the duplication,
do you get anything for defending a caravan?
You are supposed to get part of the profit from commodities. Not sure if thats working, didn't work for me.
we have massive Probleme with different spells at oakenbane, healspells and Taunt doesnt work thew right way, any one has the same problems?
Will rouge be on start of alpha 2 guys ?
completely uninstalled the game. then reinstalled the launcher and i'm still getting this
Are you on a vpn?
negative
none here either
Are u sure
where are you located, hamburglar? I'm connecting from japan
Why would u get part of the profit for defending when the owner of caravan cant even choose to let u not defend
USA East coast
so it isnt some weird ip block
I highly doubt it's a local problem, too many people are having the same issue for it to be a coincidence
you got it, too, coco?
i wish i didnt uninstall my game, but i wanted to test everything
cant install it now
This just happened to me too, no VPN, located Australia "OCEANIA" seems authenticator service has gone kapoot for a bit
Same...
and if they fix it some time, i'll have to sit here and watch it reinstall, which takes time again
If it helps, rest assured there is very likely nothing we can do on the user end to solve it
I have a quest to turn in after picking up those parcels, does anyone know where the turn in is?
tbh it does help lol
new error, progress?
I just checked both my computer installs. Both work.
It really sucks I’m sorry you guys are so stuck.
It seems like it goes hanky when an update happens. The launcher just doesn’t work.
I really hope it gets resolved for you guys 😦
i literally just came back from a power surge for 2hrs and i'm getting this issue 😮
Me too 😦 Heroes needs their 14 ranger 
i patched, then left to visit my wife in hospital. came home, installed my new cpu, wanted to do a test drive... auth server broken
yeah it's intepid's end...i was grinding sephillian b4 the power went out and came back to the error, i'm sure they'll fix it soon
was a fkn nightmare to get the wraith cooler off the cpu, lol... 😦
had a wraith stealth , never again
it made me go to an AIO
next time i'll get one i can screw on
those lashes are... KHLJGdoiashgfdvodsiuagfpsiu hgfsdpfjwン^宇241FML
Will rouge be on start of alpha 2 guys ?
A lot of login issues in other channels and on forums.
Alpha 2 started some weeks ago, so no
Nope. Not on launch. Early 2025.
+1 to the authenticate issue 😦
yeah forum login impossible, website login.. and patcher login
I meant stage 2 my bad 😅
this is a way tougher boss than firebrand
+1 to the authenticate issue
phase 2 will add rogue a bit down the track, not sure when but it'll be added in P2
I understand. I too want to hide in the shadows
Yee and now imagine we will have to play rouge and grind him after everyone will already have max
i dont want to hide.. i want to reinstall my game, watch the bars fill up ever so slowly..
You think re-installing would help?
auth servers down?
I need more coffeeeee.
Just have to wait for Intrepid peeps.
dont uninstall like i did. you wont be able to reinstall it
nope it's intrepid's network, nothing user side.
you have to log in to install
This is a bummer. On EU time and couldn't stay up for the opening yesterday and just now got around to play some. I hope they will fix it soon. I believe in Intrepid ❤️
It seems like there is an issue with the authentication servers. I would hold off and just wait.
can confirm, inteprid auth service down...no ETA
Hopefully there will be a message in the News-channel soon.
im all jacked on coffee and ready to go. dammit steven stop playing with my soul
Same here. But I will go back to Elden Ring DLC even though I have a lot of fps drops where I am at right now 🥲
Can't authenticate?
Sounds like servers went down.
Ya everyone having issues. Time for pancakes I guess
@still fractal and i both posted here
in-game servers are fine, just the login servers
Can't find it
how much time we need w8 to fix it
no clue
It's like 6AM for the devs, probably not even aware
)
I am confident they are aware. And working on it.
Keep an eye on https://discord.com/channels/256164085366915072/1299155635220512788. for updates.
there should be someone in the office during a test, at least during normal work hours, i guess? so maybe in 2-3 hours or so?
They have people 24/7 during alpha guys. Just bc it’s not fixed doesn’t mean they aren’t aware or working on it.
An update to news will come.
They are good at communication. Prob busy right now.
i could just bite myself in the ass for uninstalling the game and trying to reinstall. i should have known i need to log in to install. that's why you often can't patch until the last fucking minute, because you can't log in when the servers are down 😄
ahh well. that's what you get for losing your cool.
Thanks for the warning.
you're welcome. a perfectly fine installation died for this.
RIP, sweet AoC install
I just warned people on my realm global chat to not logout lol
how long can you afk fish for before getting kicked
About 30 min last I heard
Are there any tips to get more smooth performance in A2? Even on lowest settings I get no more than 20fps. I have read elsewhere that people with similar setup achieved 60fps and wondering if I am missing a trick.
GTX 1080, i7 @ 4.20 GHz, 16GB RAM Windows 11
What dungeons are in Alpha if you don't mind me asking
ty
i need to reinstall the whole thing, so.. 1-2h to fix the auth issue, then 1-2h to install. it's 11pm here in japan, so.. i'll be able to play at around 3am
For anyone else Guild recreation bugged? I had to recreate the guild because of being unable to surrender several guild wars and i am unable to reinvite the people into the guild through a fresh charakter. On the old charakter i also wasnt even able to create a new guild.
It’s not 2 hours to install?
I did the sweat of your brow quest for the horse, and I delivered the flowers to that farm. How do I get the tools for the other professions like skinning, hunting, and fishing?
i dunno man, i'll see. some patches go quick, some take longer than they should
read the quest text, it's in your journal
Where in the hell do I put all the feedback?
Bug reports?
1-2 hours
Bug reports are for bugs, no?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Feedback is a completely different thing.
I can't put commodities in cargo crates and seal them, is that broken?
What kind of feedback? The forums are probably a good spot
Pretty sure I've completed the quest? I think it ends when you turn in the herbs
after that you go to the stablemaster and grab your new harley
There are no instanced dungeons if thats what you mean, all open world
Ah cool, and that's citadel of the steel bloom?
Is that the only one
I checked wiki etc but can't find them
Kinda, its basically just another area/Point of interest
there are many like that, different lvl ranges
Right, did that. But that quest doesn't show you how to get started with fishing, hunting, etc
is there a way to upgrade our starting bag?
is anyone else getting this same issue right now and anyone know the fix?
oh, oh no…
I like what this game wants to be…
this is gonna be a problem for me.
😂
Authentication server issues right now.
Smoosh I have same issue right now.
News addresses tht
It’s for many
cool so its a matter of waiting ;o;
yeah it doesnt do that
Thank you 
we all do
back to being able to log in
So how does one get going with those then? Do you just buy a fishing rod or what?
beats me, never done fishing. for hunting and husbandry you just pet animals to death
Is it a joke I did the caravan quest, spent hours and 10 silvers to only get 9 silvers at the end?
I cant seem to train Aprentice Carpentry i ask for the certification upgrade and i dont get it.
you get fishing pole by default, just open skills and in the skilling part there's a fishing skill
just drag it to bar and you're good to go
am i missing something or is there a reason wolf meat isn't under cooking anymore?
yo is it possible to send your other characters mail? gota nice 2h i want on my fighter
how to farm exp during levels 6-10 pls?
For half of the expeditions, bosses never spawn
they planned to make storage account-wide, but it didnt work for me. maybe not in yet
ah thanks bro
yw. gotta find someone to mule right now :/
join groups is the best way, and farm it up.
gathering gives a tiny amount of xp, too. maybe i'll do a pacifist run when the game is out
Thank you
shortbow or longbow for archer?
Still having login issues. Un-installed launcher. And restarted
Either is fine, they both have their perks. one great thing about this game is weapons are not class locked so try them out and use what you like!
look at the finishers. shortbow can bleed and snare, which frees up one ammo buff
longbow needs less shots to get to the finisher and does more damage.. also has a bit more range
so it depends
wanna look like legloas with an epileptic seizure, go shortbow
wanna stand there watching paint dry while aiming, go longbow
where can i get some gear at level 12?
Should be fixed now, there was a post by Steven in the bugs-issues channel
i have a strange bug my audio clips out then goes wild like im on fire or in a wind tunnel then it crashes my GPU
so my caravan glitched while setting it up and it unrecoverable, now i cannot do any caravans anywhere. is there anyone who can help me?? i wanted to run caravans this weekend
How long does being purple last? Like if i as a joke smacked my friend as a joke. how long does it last
I finished the first set of quests in lionhold, and realized i havent gotten a horse yet. I made the delivery of cargo without going to get a horse. Am i now stuck without a mount? I tried going to the stable to see if I could get a mount but no luck.
Same, had to reinstall anti cheat.
Anyone else getting this Error when they try to switch realms ?
is it a bug or why i cant make this pickaxe? I got the money too Relog saved the day
nvm it fixed itself
A friend of mine who haven't engaged in Any PVP lost items when dying is this intended ?
someone picked up his "ashpile"
I'm having a hard time figuring out what to do now that I've gotten to level 8 and 9... the local quests are too small and in typical MMO fashion I guess I'm expected to start finding quests further out with higher-end mobs, but there doesnt' seem to be a clear direction to go in from Lionshold
When crafting, you can use materials that are in storage?
Quests dont give you anything to level up, you need to grind mobs, smaller group is better than bigger one, also there's no direction, it's just a server test phase xD
I got disconnected while I was dead, and now I can log on to this character.
The quests I've been taking have been killing mobs
it seemed there had been some guidance/direction up until where I got now but it seems to have just stopped and I guess I was expecting it to continue, but yeah, given its current development state that makes sense - I just wasn't sure if I was missing something
I mean theres no rush towards anything so if that's enough for you, just keep spamming commissions, but if higher levels is what you want, spamming mobs in a good fast respawn area is just better and faster
Im getting the "there was an issue repairing your item".. i cant repair my armor piece. it is at 0/46. Any help?
Do you have silver?
sounds like a good bug report to make
yes it says it would cost 9s 15c, i have 10s 52c
reopen the npc, sometimes that fixes the gray button
Yeah !
i can actually click to repair it, it just doesnt repair
tried diff NPCs and tried reloading game
And yet it is not
Does anyone have like a map with Gathering item locations? I am really struggling trying to make money and craft my own gear.
they spawn at random more or less
I love you, Im so sorry I didnt just google that.
lol no worries friend. The only reason I have it is because i did the exact same thing you did and another hero sent it to me
the griffons aren't attacking back. Will we get in trouble if we still farm them in our farming route?
Where can I report an exploit to intrepid?
When are yall gonna set default realms?
anyone have the Actual Pirates discord link?
Yes. They would suffer some corruption for doing so
in game type /bug
would be funny to just have both lol
to level them up at the same time
Is there a community manager on that can reach out to me please 🙏
silly question but i want to level my gf's cleric up to my tank's level. would leveling together with a new ranger be ok or should i pick fighter?
Ranger is a good choice
What should I farm at lvl 12 ranger?
Is the "sprint" keybind "c" meant to work same both in action mode and tab mode? In tab mode I can't untoggle it back to normal.
I'm still getting this after uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher, multiple restarts, no vpn, and I've completely removed my antivirus
Why did my character wave to the NPCs is he stupid?
Probably church or oakenbane keep
Where is the bank? Wiki says node needs to be on first stage so I assume if a node isnt, we cant bank?
I am getting a strange bug at login. I made a character, log on, black screen and then I only see the UI, Radar and Chat. The rest stays black. Suggestions?
Anyone figure out a fix to not being able to summon caravans? I was going to summon one with a beacon and cancelled it. Now it infinitely says "waiting to deploy"
Same, buddy
I was in game, the was kicked from game with the Lost connection to server, now I get Failed to retrieve character list only on that character. I can log in with other characters. Did I just lose the one character?
No, Lionhold serverworker probably crashed
My one character was not in Lionhold though
It happened to me as well.
entered lionhold.. trying to exit from the north.. got kicked out and can no longer get back into game 😦
Most people who have this problem were at lionhold or near it/near starting castle
ahh, I was in the Goblin castle area. understood, thank you.
I'm turning down sound FX because wind issue but it seems like the NPC voices are also affected by that instead of the VO togggle. I'm sure this is known but is that intended?
I had the same issue. I started a new character, and it's even more fun.
double bow a good setup for ranger or should i use 2hander as secondary?
Where do you go to get a better gathering tool when you get to apprentice?
Is there a way to scale the text size in game yet? I'm having trouble reading the smaller text
Yeh this just happened to me
Yes, option, interface, hud, global UI
Thank you, I was looking in the HUD edit.
are you on Lyneth server as well?
yep
it logs in and get's to the point where the map is loading then my game crashes
get the same failed to retrieve character list
yeah seems to only happen on Lyneth and Lionhold region
i heard you cant even get on another chara after experiencing this bug
maybe another server
Has anyone had troubles not being able to log in? And specifically that the UI shows, but the rest remains black. Like it frooze over
I got in on my mage
I have that for the first 5-10 seconds then it goes away.
Hmm, going to recheck drivers. Maybe it didnt go right
This was my person, looks like all these people here get DC'd exiting this area and then can't get back in
Steal those horses
Embrace the banditlife
Welp
Back later. Restarting
I ran past them and now that toon DC'd too :()
Yeh so seems to be a repeatable bug: Don't walk past this point with a horse or you'll not be able to log into that character
One thing I noticed, after I scaled the experience bar on the bottom mostly disappeas and it doesn't look like its moveable in the hud editor:
Mage is gone now too
hmm screenshot looks good, guessing its window bounding or something
Switched servers and I cannot respec. I think all the servers are messed up.
Same here "Failed to retrieve character list. Exiting." About 20 times so far
Boneyard brigade, scout eloris record has insane respawn times?
Can someone answer me as to why there is so much difference on my auto-attack dmg on these bows? One is between 20-30 dmg and the other is 100+ dmg pr autoattack. I can see one is a spellbow and the other a longbow, but besides that the stats seems "the same". Any ideas?
That’s gotta be a damage value bug! I would report
cool will do - and thank you!
well that's an interesting the game booted me now every time i try to join the realm it says "failed to retrieve character list Exiting" I've restarted the game and client multiple times
The low dmg one is called SpellBow and should give Magical Power Rating .. maybe it does, and it's a UI stats bug
I knew it!
what bug category is that? UI ? 😮
Yeah that’s what @junior shell was saying
@idle siren The game won't let me log in my alt tank. It says "Unable to retrieve character list. Exiting."
same
Ok, i keep getting a problem where my PC sounds like ist going to take off and then the display shuts off and i cant play... any ideas?
So my friend is trying to make an account on the website and Its saying "invalid name or username" there isn't even a username slot, If anyone has a solution that would be great!
embers will remain to the full version ? and will the skins that I buy during the alpha and beta also stay on my account ?
Any possibility of a shared bank for guilds in a node?
They are not offering any skins but yes anything you bought with real money stays
just got a crash
Your fan software is triggering the anticheat
oh wow.. yeah I have fan control :/
Any idea why all my clothing has been deleted, along with my bags? Playing on Arioch, haven't duped.
Failed to retrieve characterlist. New error :/
Ok 👍
@idle siren Steven the game is awesome! I am terrible for pinging you. But some folks are struggling to log in and different points, and I am unable to get the forget password link to land in my inbox (tried on multiple browsers and devices).
Relog to fix or have I lost it all?
does anyone know if there are scythes in the game as weapons?
There aren't
I have not made it ingame yet, ever, haha! Might want to ask someone else
Ok dude cheers anyway
the items that were deleted, did you get them from another player in-game?
Nope, mostly bought from vendors the clothing and 2 bags
I would suggest use #help and use the link at the bottom of the help section.
It's all good dude, wipe is soon and it's not high value stuff 👍
any way that i can lock in the realm for character select?
Anyone knows if fishing gets more exciting or it is gonna be afk simulator forever?
Where is this so I can turn in my stones? I thought maybe the chests next to the commission boards but they don't do anything
if im a worrior class, am i still able to use some magic spells and ranged stuff
Do you have to be a citizen to purchase stuff from Mayoral Merchants/Node Merchants?
It will be possible when we get archetypes
Still can't retrieve my character list
Are there any solo farm spots lvl 10+ ideally for spellbooks or wands?
I have this issue too
i tried to log in 3 times and on the 3rd time i made another char then loged out and got in my main
no clue what happen
Hmm, I just bought it and never logge din before. bedore this I only had the UI and the rest wouldnt show
I keeps saying my driver is not updated but it is. Done it several times from the site and by hand
did u try to completle remove the drivers and do a clean instal?
How can we end a guild war that has gone on for a week?
People started to become toxic and kill each other in towns
is copper still impossible to find? also can you mine it with the basic skill since you need it to make the first pixaxe?
Disband guild
It’s easy to find in the right spots when servers go live after any downtime. And you can mine it once you do the starter quest in lionhold.
You don’t need to make a copper pickaxe to mine it
Not quite my plan
That's the only way if it's stuck afaik
Do you get the apprentice cert for herb at the Ag supply?
unlock your bar and move a skill off of it for a sec
ty
then back on, should go away
hey all! how do you store materials? I went to the storage clerc in ruins of aela but i cant drag and drop mats into the slots.
where do I go to tame a bear?
can anyone tell me what I'm missing? I'm trying to seal a container with this stuff so I can take it on my caravan.. but once I click nothing happens
lol I got the bear item already but I need to go tame it
and where are those right spots? I haven't seen a single node
I think the husbandry trainers in towns, but I haven't tamed anything yet so I can't tell you which one
I see that, but i'm not able to drag mats into the mats tab
haven't tried to store any mats this weekend, might be borked. I'll try it when servers come back up
dont think you can seal commodities inside a crate
you place commodities into your caravan directly
I also tried to do wood & rock for this quest - but same result.
And you need to seal crates at the caravan master
I did this too
For longer than you think
/bug it telling them they need to make the quest more clear
so can I box up commodities then? As it still doesn't work at caravan master? Or do you mean only wood/stone?
Wood and stone
How long are the servers going to be down for?
Commodities didn't need to be boxed
shiet - that epic 3x2 is never gonna fit now 😵💫
I'll try stone and wood again..
good place to farm gear at 11
Yup I learned that too
Hey, I dont know if its a bug or not but is it intentional that fighters can use blitz/charge to cancel out fall damage?
Any humanoid in your level range... The higher stars the better
ok drop rate must suck. Farmed highwayman for 4 hours and got 3 drops between the group
Check y'all's level range vs the mobs level. That also matters but how I never looked up
if caravans are out and about on restart will they lose their things?
No
Just stop moving before restart... And be a land caravan. You should be able to recover it around the area you were when it went down
If you are moving around it makes it harder to find when you get back in though
Can a community manager please reach out to me ❤️ thank you
Is there a possibility of not always taking the servers down during EU prime time, we would also love the opportunity to test the game
Its saturday... its everyones primetime...
I'm hopeful they would only do this to preserve the integrity of the game in it's current state. something's amiss and they're addressing it swiftly. greatly appreciated dev.s can't wait to get back in.
Where do you find novice critters to tame and hunt? I found deer near the starting area but they all require apprentice level.
It’s always the same time every weekend and some of us work weekends
how can I pay the tax dues?
press N
There’s just no need for this comment and Some people actually work on a weekend
I have a login error the launcher is saying I don’t have access to this phase of testing and I was literally just logged in on my other computer. Any ideas?
look at the news section
@vernal lichen you need to have glint in your inventory, hit N to pull up the node page and then there is a section on how many tax receipts you need. Go to your town administrator and buy that many and hand them in
Yep
do you need to be at least lvl 10 and a citizen in a node to be able to seal a crate?
oh so I need glint, ok thanks
Yesterday in group one of my bard songs was buffing fighters whirlwind for it to be permanently up and I can’t figure out what song or saga it was
has anyone been able to figure out enchantments?
now that the servers are down, any part that u had in the lets say tanning or leather station, do they vanish?
also for some reason I cant exchange my mats in the node agent its says daily limit, but I havent exchange any and there is still active orders, is it a bug?
it's not a game, it's an Alpha testing phase, it's not here for your enjoyment, it's to help them develop this into a game and sometimes it requires taking down servers to adjust things, sorry for your inconvienence smh
And some of us would love to be able to test the game too smh
well shit testing shouldnt have cost me 120$
I can keep it up for a long time if there is enough folks to whack on
It appears that YOU need clarification on what you're actually doing, you aren't playing a game, ITS AN ALPHA, what don't you understand, ALPHA means testing!
this is like the 3rd week of alpha 2.... you get access to the game until launch for that 120$ smh
you didnt know it was an alpha?
Yeah they were telling me something like that the more mobs the more they can do it
Idk maybe they were buffing themselves and thought it was my song
they want serious testers, hence the $120, if it was free or cheap, people would take is serious or give serious feedback.
If we max out our momentum? Rage? Whatever you call it we can go to town with group pulls
To be honest they maintenance every weekend from 10-12 pst
I don’t even hop on before then in weekends just to avoid interruptions
Yeah my song buffs crit chance and physical damage so I’m not sure what they were talking about maybe they misunderstood their momentum mechanic
had this same problem all night yesterday
Either something is broken or some ability y’all barbs have was resetting my cool downs yesterday to so maybe a bug?
where can I find western larch?
i got that at random,, i was playing and it kicked me out and popped that error
tell me you've never alpha/beta tested, without saying you've ever alpha/beta tested xD
Thought this was a early access is my guess
Use ashes codex
Anyone else get to this page on “forgot password” but never get the email..?
I just reset mine yesterday and had no issues with getting the email
wait, you're telling me you bought the alpha two access bundle, and you didn't know you're buying an alpha access key?
wild
people dont listen or read I guess. Swiping is 100% optional and dont understand that life isnt fair.
People don’t read what they are getting. It happens. He will be a lot happier when the 5 day a week starts at least
It says “less than 2 hours” how long do these downtimes usually take?
how u gon tell someone what they can and can't enjoy 💀 goofy mf
hello all. i am getting a "permission denied" and cannot login. any advice?
usually less than 2 hours 🤣
It depends on what they are fixing
i had no idea it was a weekend thing when i bought in 2 weeks ago, and my initial reaction? "well, its alpha, makes sense - im going to make off time on the weekend"
this is true, some people like CBT
why would you wanna grind mobs 7 days a week anyway..
the primary purpose isn't for us to enjoy a game, it's for intrepid to basically use us to test what they need. go enjoy it if you want but dont complain if its offline 75% of the weekend
need more stuff in the game first
Don't worry starting dec 20 will be more than the weekend
I am 100% convinced. People who complain that the game is bad or not playing well and not fun definitely like CBT.
lol I ask myself this every mmo I play lol
hello. i am getting a " permission denied " message and cannot login. any advice?
oh my aware, wipe hype and new stuff to see - cant wait to see what they could show off biome wise
Servers are down currently for maint
news
AH ty 🙂
Read the server news next time
@vivid talon it's always smart to check #alpha-two-news
where do i go for that, be nicer next time
its the channel above this one
ty
dude has a green newbie tag yall, cut em some slack
Can you make 5 characters on 1 realm?
Yes
do the server time pause when they are down? Do i loose items while having them processed it leather station?
I got caught by that to. I was checking the wrong channel for server and maintenance instead
probably lose items
You should not lose them. If you do /bug it
thank you
did they servers go down again?
careful. you might get called an idiot for that lol
not 100% certain but i'd think so, you're welcome
yes
No try again
Anyone getting the permission denied when trying to log into the launcher? I have alpha two access

Check news channel if in doubt
I havent checked this week but since the DDOS my IP address is somehow being blocked. I disconnected my hard wire to the internet and am using wifi after changing my IP address on star link internet. Has there been a fix for this yet? I would like to use a direct connection to my computer because my wifi isnt very good.
Permission denied = servers down 
Vpn?
anyone having issues getting character list to load? Been a problem this morning
nah im pretty sure my express vpn sub is up
wouldnt a vpn effect my wifi connection too?
ima be honest idk why i answered you, I have no idea
all good thanks anyway : )
Contact support? Maybe your ip is flagged?
I would recommend contacting support so they could possibly look into that and maybe unblock it. No one else can help this unfortunately when they are getting so much traffic, it’s bound to have a few false positives.
I logged into my ashes website account, i received my launcher to update my files. I am unable to launch it.. I have been able to do this in the past. Did they change that?
i think they may have flagged all star link possibly ill have to see. ive talked to others with star link with the same issue
Elaborate a bit more.. launch the launcher or get past the login?
last night, i updated my files while we were waiting for the server to go back up. I was able to that. For some reason i cant do it right now. just curious if they disabled that
Server do be down atm
they might be working on the launcher issues too, so may not be available
Just a guess but maybe they are not ready for folks to update
any estimate on when they will be up or is it anybodies guess?
they said about 2 hours
~2 hours from when it went down
#alpha-two-news they give all updates as they can.
Ah ok so it's not just me I went to play and couldn't get in glad I'm not the only one.
Yarp
ah, the channels weren't there when i originally joined the server. thx!
oh, thx!
Is there somewhere to contact them about my IP address on this discord? Or do i need to go to the web page?
Web page most likely
ty ty
Wish they make the numbers larger for the items in the backpacks and make the cursor larger since its hard to see when tring to heal and stuff
Ahh thanks
servers down for now
is it allowed to stream ashes on twitch atm?
or make youtube videos?
yeah theres no NDA
thy 🙂
yw
Anyone know when servers are coming back up
Nope. No one knows, but its estimated in 2 hours
hope i can finally get in the game, fixing bugs that keep people out of the game should be #1 prio
I just contact support over my IP address being blocked from the DDOS BS
#alpha-two-news message they should be accorfing to Steven this morning
#alpha-two-news There is a news channel for a reason
Guys, is it me or item drops have been nerfed? I've farmed all over the map and got enough drops to gear up but after lev 17, I'd be lucky to get 1 item per 2 hours either in group or solo, mobs my lev or 3 lev above etc
I get nothing for hours then 10 random things back to back.
well, all the people in my discord noticed this too
Is there a channel dedicated to patch notes? Would be useful to test the changes 😛
It's feast or famine. I complained all week about the endless hours spent in Highwayman Hills gettings nothing but the occasional glint windfall, then today I got nearly a dozen different recipes, Growler's helm 3x (seems to drop every kill???), and a few other pieces of gear after only ~4hrs
Oh,. yeaaah! We are getting more recipes now and far less items. Could this be related to Steve's plans to remove items and have us all craft our gear?
What we did was lev up. My group used to get up to 8 items per hour at HH too. But now, our lev 15s farming there, barely get 1 item for hours
what spots are u farming
Citadel, above cit, sep, ursin, gov patch
carp towa is little too much for our low levs
I don't think they're going to remove item drops entirely. There's a good system in place for folks who want to focus leveling and story content before crafting. But I do think they want to see more folks crafting and testing those systems right now
your also not going to get good drop rates for items if you not atleast there level or higher in my experience
Like, the growler's helm that kept dropping was only green. but if we get the recipe and mat, you can craft it at blue rarity. So they're definitely incentivising crafting, but not forcing it
that also goes for your group if someones lower level it will affect everyone
this phase was server stability and background systems i believe
same as if u have a super higher lvl
Correct. We are fine on that. Because we heard there was a bug that you can't get drops fighting mobs 3 levs below you, so we avoid those
you can download the update now
sent u pm
I hope they don't remove items. It feels awesome to farm you gear!
I've gotten item drops today from 2 star elites that were 6 lvls under me
im the opposite lol i like to make mine
Are there 2 Star mobs in the game? I have only seen 1 and 3 star
Plenty .. gremlins, griffons ...
thanks. Guess I have not explored enough
realms are back online
Let's get in the game!
The problem with making gear, is that it consumes too much time compared to grinding and buying off other people. Most people don't want to do it. I think crafting would need to be harder towards the endgame, to craft endgame gear, and easier during lev up so people actually craft. Resources feel very lacking compared to other mmos too btw
i like the time consuming aspect, i feel like im accomplishing something, i enjoy the grind, but i do like the occasional drop. its all good though
Hey guys, how do I unlock the server channels? I swear I must be blind and dumb
I do get it, but I think that's overdoing it for an mmo, not an rpg. Although I am burned of that, from farming thousands and thousands of hours in New World to craft decent gear
Just head to browse channels at the top of the discord channels and select which ones you want to add
Does anyone else's downloader slow down and sometimes freeze their computer? It's only happening with this game?
anyone find the shrek world boss yet?
anyone else stuck on connecting ?
what happens if you dont pay your taxes
can someone explain warrior momentum and how i know how much i have?
The bar around your archetype icon fills up, to a max of 100. As it fills you get a larger bonus for whatever stance you're in, and you can use momentum as a resource for skills like berserk, whirlwind, wallop, and lunging assault
awesome ty. i couldn't figure that part out
Where do i put up suggestions for the game?
The forums
Server's up !
Does anyone know how to fix errors 32, 33, and 7 when trying to get into the game after launching?
Yo are you the Genji Cleric I met last night? - Baelinmourne
hey, just traded cape with a guy from another city, cant equip it. Do you have to be a citizen of the city to equip the cloak from that city?
Are u level 20?
im crashing every time i launch the game after the hot fix
any way to farm Grem Carcass at a Grem spawn? Do I need to kill em all and will eventually hunting Grems spawn? or how does that work
Is there a way to trade items between my own characters on the same server? Seems like I cannot access the same storage in the warehouse if it is a different character.
it's more for the guy I traded, he cant put it on, the one I got him, he's 25
Why can't I seal this small crate? I put osme flowers in it and hit seal crate but the items just go out of it again.
Where do you make an apprentice pickaxe
miraleth
when the game fully releases will it be on steam?
all of my characters are locked and I dont have access to post on the bugs forum
Which server does not have a queue right now?
are servers back up?
yes
I think it's crazy to say it's overdoing it for an mmo, it's overdoing it for you, but there are entire guilds built on crafting and trading crafted gear and crafting mats.... so it's obviously important and it's important that crafted gear competes with non crafted. I don't think they'll even remotely consider taking out non crafted items as drops, and I bet you there will be more drops once dec 20th hits too :3
still experiencing GPU Crash dump Triggered only when I play my cleric
Any staff/ GM free and able to help a mass testing op? cheers, either way carry on strong 🙂
Are a lot of people reporting crashes? My so can't enter the game any more
crashes before getting into it, and freezes if he does get in
Anyone knows if you have to be a citizien of the node to use the capes you buy from there?
anyone else stuck in que? started at 9 now at 7 but hasnt changed for 15 mins
i was at 5, thought it was broken, reconnected and now at 86
vyra cant get on
ouch, good to know wasnt thinking about requeing lol
such is life
is it just me or can u not get ur items out of stash anymore??
I am kind of surprised the servers are still filling up and so quickly after an update a month into the testing
sorry i mean i WAS thinking of requeing thanks for the heads up
ah fuck i tried relog to see if it helps and now im in queue xD
i just moved to 6
is the login queue secluded to Lyneth?
Had a loot bug, relogged and have been stuck in queue for 15min
multiple servers seeing it
K
at least according to alpha 2 general
why can i not talk in any of the channels? i have linked my discrod
He already has the roles
you happen to get in after requeue?
just no permissions
i did not reque
That looks normal
its just moving very slowly
just click on general and start chatting
oh woops misread that was someone you replied to
anyone else?
yes everyone else
oh damn...
the que seems to work...its just moving slowly
are there any other confirmed position 1 ques for your server?
you could just be next in line
dont leave the q
i am at 47 and its going down every 1-3 minutes....
Press U. Click leave guild
what class has higher damage bard or cleric?
cleric I think
Bard gets a lot of damage from single target finishers. Cleric gets a lot of damage from AOE. Uncertain who does more damage, but they both provide a party roll
im wondering is there any other soultions like the ones commentet before? im still here with the same problem since 14 hours
Very dumb question and I know only one in 400 people (meaning other tanks besides me) can answer it:
Do you also face the issue that sometimes your HP based aggro skills stop working? Intimidating Aura, Taunt?
It's as if the game was telling me my HP is 0 for those skills
@slate condor have you tried manually deleting the entire game/launcher and re-trying from the website?
yes multiple times
as a cleric I can solofarm 15-20 mobs similar to my level, so if you like aoe solo farm cleric feels good
@slate condor have you @'d the community managers? see if they can find a reason?
they usually have similar asked questions ready to be answered
guess ill try cleric over bard then ty 🙂
they also literally play completely different @pulsar berry
dont play them based on their damage loll
Are we really all sitting in a que right now?
play them based off how you want to play
cleric is technically a healer later on i imagine
Try all the different classes you are even slightly interested in. There is a wipe coming in December so use this time to try fun things
yes, they have infinitely less dmg than a bard later and honestly earlier imo
but thats not their role
and its not the bards either
Can anyone explain to me why some named spell bows have stats that aren't magical? For example, this bow says it's a spellbow, but looks like something for a ranger rather than a caster.
https://ashescodex.com/db/item/Gear_Weapon_Longbow_2H_SonsOfFortuneMag?rarity=3
yep thats the plan tried ranger, mage, warrior so far but havent gotten them over lvl 10. does higher level completely change the class?
yes
^ compare the classes to Everquest, that will tell you what they do later on honestly lol
at lvl 12/13 you have access to their main abilities
Bug - nothing more nothing less -> Report it and hope it gets fixed soon
and you can play them differently
Also DO NOT use those bows, because their Physical stats DO NOT COUNT(!!)
bard is the biggest one, once you hit lvl 12-13 your kit opens up GREATLY
Is it a naming bug, or a stats display bug?
Can you get a mule or more bags than the 2 extra?
STAT bug, not just display bug -> it gives NO stats at all, neither the physical it shows, nor the magical it should
@slender bough both
Oh damn - thanks so much. Was about to buy one!
Is it very lame we are all sitting in a que right now?
100%
I was in the middle of a pull, hearing the panicked screams of my party as the tank POOFS out of existence
#FeelsBad
It's moving - just slowly
If the queue is NOT moving, restart
If you restart it you will be placed in back of the que
If it IS moving -> do NOT restart
I suggest waiting at least 5 minutes to make that determination though
Can you get a mule or more bags than the 2 extra?
ive moved some at least 🙂
mines gone down 9 slots in about 5 minutes
i cant wait to be queued into PoE 2
my queue is moving ... slowly ...
Your queue position will improve slower and slower the closer you get to 1.
Ive gone down about 5 spots in 30 minutes
guess ill go play some deadlock while the queue runs
But don't worry folks - I was at 1 for 5 minutes, then I got error 23, now I am at 13
I just insta got in from 27
I think it just flushed
just jumped from 49 to 16 lol
im just sitting slowly in the 30s lol
To my FELLOW TANK PLAYERS:
Do you also face the issue that sometimes your HP based aggro skills stop working? Intimidating Aura, Taunt?
It's as if the game was telling me my HP is 0 for those skills
grinding better than questing? ntw
#read-me-first to see all teh channels
Quests are just a "barebones" concept for now
yeah decemeber is supposed to be for questing yeah?
so just group up and aoe farm for levels?
wonder how much of that they wont be able to deliver, already said that the rogue archetype wont be coming right?
Is this 31 person que really going to take 4 hours?
but not all at the BEGINNING
it was pushed back farther into p2 i do believe
can the game stay up more than 4 hours at a time lol
o.O it stayed up just fine for me yesterday into today

damn, been held up at 16 for a bit now
I heard there is no friends list yet @halcyon grove

anyone else feel like the goblin shamans hit way to hard? lol

Thanks RIpper!
You probably have bad gear
i mean im a lvl 5 tank, dont have much for gear yet or range 🙂
im tank as well and i use bows for the shaman
how is even possible from being 1st in the que jumped to 4th?
The ripper or cleaver is what you want to worry about they do some damage
dont need much gear..
ahh, yeah havnt discovered all the weapon stuff yet, maybe need a bow
Want to join my guild I’ll show you the ropes
you should have two weapons equipped at all times.. they BOTH add to your stats
no matter which you use
what server @vague tartan
Castus
It sucks that you cant have two melee weapons equipped at the same time
really? that is weird
are u serious? both weapons equipted adding stats to main ??
i mean... one ranged and one melee makes sense. youll get your dual daggers soon
main or second weap adding stats to total??
FILL ALL you slots as you can
wtff. i used only 1 weapon all the time :((
good things its an alpha
You also level both weapons at same time
wuwu im in bois
for short ranher bow what second weapon do u reccomend?
whatever hits your fancy
indeed lol
hope they allow you to use 2 melee weps or 2 range weps soon
Some books and wands are physical damage so it can be good
that is not planned. they will have dual daggers soon but i think thats on top of your ranged it just takes both melee slots
And some swords and stuff are magic damage be sure to look before u equip so you don’t have a bad build
you should connect your account to see the a2 channels.. they help a lot #read-me-first
@drifting quest what’s your server
When they going to get this game out where everyone can play it?
Ya,I'm just a impatient person, lol,but ok,lol .
what do u recommend guys for a ranger with shortbow as a second weap
Hello guys! how do you use a rusty scepter with a magic attack?
Everyone can play it. Just buy a key.
When i press Q, its just a physical attack
for the life of me i can not figure out where the striders vigilant are can someone please help
You can't do the subclasses yet can you?
My caravan says "Caravan must be stabled to modify components"
no
I'm in Lionhold and can't seem to figure out how to attune to the emberspring. Can anyone help?
you need to get a ranged weapon
Sceptres are a melee weapon l, they don't have a ranged attack. Bows, wands, and books are the current ranged weapons
thx

Is there anything that highlights mining nodes? I'm finding it quite hard to spot them.
No. At least not at this time.
thanks
If you use a pylon, it’ll let you know how many of that type of node (herb/rock/tree) are in its radius. That’s about it at the moment.
I guess that can be helpful
Seems logging in is still broke.. might be nap time.
Question: if i accept a quest from the board, does that allow my party member to have access to that quest? Or do they have to go personally accept it themselves?
Any gatherable herbs for apprentice?
thanks mate
Apprentice gets to pick Bluebell and Moonbell
I have a beta key, and I am considering getting an Alpha wave 2 key instead, do I have to pay the full price or is there a way to like upgrade and only pay the diffrence ?
Are the servers much more laggy then last weekend for everyone too?
where can i get a rusty mace ?
What does "Particle Spawn Rate" mean in the Graphic-Config?
where do I have to go to get apprentice mining certificate?
So I’ve seen people on Reddit saying the game isn’t really in a stage to be considered a game yet… is that accurate? Or just haters?
its an alpha bro
Is there any place to put in a support ticket? Game just crashes as soon as I log in.
Do we report this somewhere?
you can type /bug in game
@junior ember
is not really a bug though is it
yes it is. its a graphic bug and they have a category for that
oh perf
anyone else's computer just shit the bed when the launcher updates?
is there a web based bug submission form? so i can use tools to not type out my bug template form manually?
/bug in-game is the best place for bug reports. Though, there are the #alpha-two-bugs-issues-old and bug reporting forums.
ok thats fine, I was just curious - thanks
i like using text blaze templates for bug submissions at work lol was going to reuse them
This is the place for submitting a ticket: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Before you do that, have you run through general troubleshooting steps such as logging in, and out of the launcher, restarting your PC, restarting the launcher, repairing the client, reinstalling the launcher/game client, and verifying that your firmware and software (such as BIOS and GPU drivers) are up to date?
Edit:
Also, verified that your system meets the minimum spec requirements: https://support.ashesofcreation.com/hc/en-us/articles/26658550834835-What-are-the-minimum-and-recommended-computer-specifications-for-Alpha-Two
Yes done all that. Thank you just submitted ticket.

@junior ember best way to get account unstuck/password reset after the “forgot password” link not working and submitted multiple support tickets over last couple days? Thank you!!

Is anyone else crashing every time they move any item in the storage?
Anyone know where I can find a Minotaur monster named Garumart? Should be around level 16
i saw griffons in game
Anyone know of a good casual guild in Resna? Looking to chill out with a group while leveling. Currenly level 6 healer
i mean the ones west of lionhold over the bridge.... i have a quest there but nothing is there anymore since the restart
oh my bad 😦
no i should have been more precise, sry
- Go to C:\Program Files\Intrepid Studios\AshesOfCreation\PROD\EasyAntiCheat (or wherever you have the game installed)
- Double click on Install.bat
- See if that lets you get EAC manually
ill give it a try
the is no install.bat in that folder
Is there a social tab to add friends in game?
what's the official policy on kind of traditional 'play nice' expectations. ex. training groups to loot them?
like training mobs into other people to intentionally kill them so you can loot their corpse?
yup - sanctioned behavior? cross a line?
did they fix highwayman spawns?
Can you be attacked at any point but someone who enables PvP, even if you're not corrupted or anything?
I don't think so, most people pvp by training mobs on other players
I bought a copper wand, purchased it, right clicked it in my inventory, its gone, still have spellbook i had equipped and wand is gone and i lose the money...? where is it
what's in your melee weapon slot
a scepter and shield
maybe it sold back to the vendor
is ther a buyback function to see?
dont think it did , didnt pop up asking if iw anted to sell it like it does my spellbook
I had someone attack me while I was doing a commission. I wasn't corrupted or anything
is there a bug with commodity's and crates? cant seal the crate atm after i put my commoditys inside
Yes. Once past level 5, you can be attacked at any point if a person wished to.
Thank you
I need a GM on Resna to help me out, unstuck didnt work
bro theres still q times
Is it intended for guilds to rush down a city and kill everyone part of another guild and then spawn killing people?
how do you get more storage space in a caravan to fit bigger commodities
I just got off work, someone sent me a message saying anyone can play the game I just had to buy a key, how much does it cost and how long does it last?
And how do I get it?
any chance we see non pvp servers?
Nephril,you know anything about the Buying a key to play the game?
Costs $120
<@&542059693779058748> I found someone who avoided the wipe from duping
It's on the website
Please forward the deets to @junior ember

Alpha
how do you report a bug, i cant mine anything, pick is not broken tried relogging, exiting, reinstalling, repairing and still cant mine anything
It's in the menu
/bug
thanks
what one do i try and get;;frist wave .secouid wave,third wave,,,,,what?
and how long does this key last?
So we are on wave 1. If you want to play now, you'll need a Wave 1 key
@opaque nova at least a year, probably more like 3
kool
Which will give you access throughout the testing period (Alpha Phase 2 wave 1 where we are now, wave 2 on December 20th, and wave 3 estimated to start on May 1 2025)
These keys last until the game is fully released and you get one month of paid sub when it goes live.
Is there a way to promote another palayer for guild leader ?
i looked again,its not showing a wave one
Mind a few things:
- minimum, accounts will be wiped clean between waves
- maximum, each phase has an uptime of a certain number of days. Alpha wave 1 is 3 days, typically weekends, meaning you cannot play outside of the testing days)
Alpha 2 Wave One Bundle?
This will let you start playing today, as the alpha is open until Monday 1 am this weekend
is there anyway to reduce the amount of ressources AOC is taking. I have a couple years old computer but nothing old and i'm alble to run basically anything pretty well but AOC is taking like 90 to 95% processor and memory space. That juste seems weird to me
and the setting are on low yea
nothing you can do on your end other than upgrading , optimizing and that might be done later but its on the dev side
