ArcheAge Class Trees

I know I've posted this before, but the info has been out of date for some time. So this is the most up to date info I can find.

In ArcheAge Class Trees are called Schools. There are different kinds of Schools, like Fighting, Crafting, Gathering. Then under Schools you get the Jobs.

Fighting School

Defining your Character in the Fighting School


- There are 10 jobs in total under the Fighting School from which you are able to choose 3 jobs which will define your character, resulting in a total of 120 different class combinations.

- Each job has 3 trees, every tree has 11 active and 5 passive skills, so each class has 33+15 aka 48 skills ready, from which you can chose 23 skills which will define your character.

- Every skill tree has its own level, they are levelling same as the character does (level 50 is the max), and also all the skills have level requirements (depending on the skill trees level and not on the characters level).

Here is the list of the 120 class combinations under Fighting Schools :

http://img3.mmo.mmo4arab.com/newforu...2485189580.jpg

http://img3.mmo.mmo4arab.com/newforu...2485197197.jpg

http://img3.mmo.mmo4arab.com/newforu...2485265778.jpg

Passive Skills

The way to choose passive skills have been redone, now its impossible to choose all the passive skills from a tree without taking on any active skills. In order to choose the first passive skill from a tree, the player needs to have 1 active skill chosen from that tree, to unlock the second passive skill you need to have 2 skills selected from the given tree, for the third passive 3 skills, for the fourth passive 5 skills, and if there is a fifth passive then you need to have 7 skills selected from the tree in order to be able to take that passive skill (this doesn't mean all 7 skills need to be active skills, passives count into this too).

Example:

http://savepic.su/2229157.jpg

Combo Skills

Skills have different results depending on what buffs are on the player or debuffs on the target. Some of them have been changed, and many new combos have been added, now almost every skill had 2-3 combos, and a few even have 4 combos.

List of Skill Combos (Russian Version) :

http://archeagegame.ru/media/k2/gall...stov111900.jpg

Other Fighting School Info

- Players may choose 1 job at Char level 1, a second at level 5 and the third job at level 10.

- Each job has its own skills and level along with the player as they hunt, craft and quest.

- Each skill has advanced versions and costs coin to improve as the job level increases.

- Skills can be reset at a trainer, and will then cost coin to be improved to the job level.

- Skill Jobs can be reset as well, starting L20 iirc, and will then default to L10 and the school will need to be revelled. For example a L50 player dump all 3 of their jobs for 3 new ones, although they are L50, their 3 new jobs are L10 and would need to be advanced through normal levelling, until which time the player would only have access to lower level skills.

Skill Calculator

Here is a new English Skill Calculator that has added all the new info and is up to date in the Fighting School, they even have the skill combos at the bottom ! Try it and see how you would like to Define your character.

Crafting School

In ArcheAge the Crafting School is bound by the Labour system.

Labour System

Each character has a certain number of "labour power points" or just "labour" in short, this is similar to an energy bar (located on top of the experience bar). By collecting, mining, manufacturing and processing materials these points are being used up until they are exhausted, and when they reach 0 points, your character will be unable to perform any of the activities listed before.

Labour points regenerate automatically. Five labour are restored every 5 minutes. This result is a maximum of 1440 labour per day. There are also objects which can boost up labour points a bit, such as the bad bed sleeping, or eating rice cakes. The maximum a player can currently collect is 5000 labour per account, it can be divided among the characters there by free choice. The maximum amount of labour is determined by the level of the player's character and his accumulated experience in all professions.

Crafting School Jobs

Alchemy - This job is the crafting of potions and flasks, catalyst for the construction, archium, dye for custom capes and sails and many other objects.

Handicraft - This job is the crafting of accessories (rings, earrings, necklace), baits for fishing and other magical artefacts.

Metal - This job is the crafting of plate armor, processing of various raw ores into bars, and others.

Weaponcraft - This job is the crafting of many different weapons and shields, cannon balls and other explosive charges.

Commerce - This job is the crafting of of trade packs (commercial boxes), and you can do auction house trading.

Tailoring - This job is the crafting of cloth armour, processing of fabrics, wool and cotton.

Carpentry - This job is the crafting of furniture, bows, staffs and fishing rood, and wood processing.

Cooking - This job is the crafting of Bulk foods and drinks.

Leatherwork - This job is the crafting of leather armour, processing of rawhide, designing bags from divers, ect.

Defining your Character in the Crafting School

Job Levels

Every Job has it's level, which is defined in points (0-50.000), it can earn points and level up as you are using activities which describes a job, all of these activities require labour points.

Job levels by points:
0-10.000 -> Novice
10.000-20.000 -> Apprentice
20.000-30.000 -> Journeyman
30.000-40.000 -> Expert
40.000-50.000 -> Master

Levelling up process for Crafting School Jobs

In order to get a profession to the next level, first you need to reach 10k points with the given profession, then two arrows will appear next to its name (look at the picture above, arrows down/up at nb 7.), clicking on the up arrow you take the profession to the next level, this applies up until the last level "Expert".

Building / Gathering / Harvesting / Farming Schools

The Building/Gathering/Harvesting/Farming Schools are all bound by the labour system, just like the Crafting Schools. The difference is that these Schools have Labour dailies and quests. Also the player can share their work with other players to get the job done.

E.g. A construction player can share his work with others to build a castle.

Building/Gather/Harvesting/Farming School Jobs


Logging - Gathering of wood, special trees, branches and tree fruits.

Masonry - Processing of raw stones, crafting of portal stones, preparing explosives.

Construction - Building of houses and castles.

Gathering - Gathering herbs, picking fruits.

Butchering - Butchering farm animals to use for meat.

Milking - Milking Goats and cows for milk.

Plucking - Pluck feathers from brids to use the feathers.

Mount breeding/Animal Breeding - Breed Animals

Gathering - Gathering herbs, picking fruits.

Farming - Growing of crops, watering them, processing of cow manure to bio-fuel.

Mining - Mining ore, processing of archium.

Machinery - Crafting of siege weapons, agricultural machines, boats, gliders.

Fishing - Catching fish

Larceny - Purchasing of foreign goods, harvesting "other" plants, degrading "other" trees.

Defining your Character in these Schools

**It is exactly the same as the Crafting School

Language School

These are more for fun than anything serious, but if you do decide to go down this path you are again bound by the labour system. In order to get these you have to do a long line of quests and learn the languages of different races and cultures.

Language School Jobs

Printing - Decrypting/replicating of plans, decipherer of ancient documents, master of languages from all continents.

Composing - Create your own music (it uses midi files)

LAST BUT NOT LEAST !!!!!

All Schools that use the labour system(Everything except for the Fighting Schools), you can level up 5 to Apprentice level, from which 4 can be Journeyman level, from which 3 can be Expert level, and from which you can level up 2 to be Master level, per character.

When you have a job on higher level, the labour consumption is less for the activities within that job. In some cases new recipes will open up, to collect/mine certain resources a higher level of job is needed, to craft certain things a higher level of job is needed, to use certain items a higher level is needed as well. Also in case of gathering you have better chance of getting rare resources, in case of crafting you have a better chance to craft more rarer items. And there are some other perks as well.

So is there any way for us to squeeze into the japanese open beta that is coming up?

[Bombur]

Japanese Open beta


Character creation started on July 5th, and open beta starts on July 11th.


- First you need a Japanese IP, or Japanese VPN because everything is IP blocked.

- Once you get one, then you need to get a pmag(neowitz) archeage account.

https://api.pmang.jp/register?service=archeage

It should look like this :



Then you need to fill out the blank area :



Then login to your email and click to confirm your address.

Awesome! Thank you so much Bombur! I missed playing this game during the Korean Closed/Open Beta. I have a few questions. Do you know how long the beta is going to be running? Is the open beta event going on a 24 hour cycle or will servers be up only during Japanese prime time? Do you know the server list by any chance? Thanks!

[Siya]

Nvm working now.

You can try looking at http://www.archeage.jp/notices/55, but it doesn't say weather there will be 24 hour beta or not, and gives no end date...lol


There will be 3 servers

Odd. I have the game downloaded, vpn etc but when I launch the game it will load and start going then randomly close itself (some time during or after the intro if I skip past it). Any ideas? I know the beta doesn't actually start til the 11th but I thought the character creator was up since the 5th.
