Progresión de las profesiones

Dentro de cada una de las tres vías de artesanía (Recolección, procesado y Elaboración) hay diferentes profesiones. Un personaje sólo puede dominar una de estas dos vías principales y hasta dos (2) profesiones dentro de esta clase de artesanía (sujeto a pruebas).

When it comes to complete mastery, we're really identifying around two or three right now, but that's something that gets play tested- something gets iterated upon. – Steven Sharif

• Un personaje podrá alcanzar una competencia de nivel 3 o 4 en las profesiones que no domine. – Steven Sharif

Players will have the opportunity to dabble in all of the professions at a very beginners level and then that gives them an understanding of what that profession feels like and then allows them to pinpoint the direction that they want to go in to master particular professions. – Steven Sharif

• En función de las pruebas, se puede decidir limitar los certificados de dominio de una profesión a un valor máximo.

Becoming a master Crafter or a master Processor or a master Gatherer should be a significant time investment and resource investment; and because of that it should also be something that when you achieve that status it's like people on the server know who you are. – Steven Sharif

• El dominio de estas profesiones no se limita a fabricar un objeto. Conceden muchas cosas como titulos, acceso a objetos, rebajas y misiones.
• Previamente se decía que, con un esfuerzo considerable, un jugador podía dominar todas las profesiones dentro de una clase de artesanía. Esto se cambió más tarde para que un jugador pudiera dominar algunas, pero no todas las profesiones dentro de esta clase de artesanía. Esto se cambió para poder dominar hasta dos o tres profesiones dentro de una clase de artesanía que se domine (sujeto a pruebas). La postura actual es poder dominar hasta dos profesiones.

La progresión de artesanías dentro del árbol de habilidades, se basa en la experiencia (repetición de tareas) dentro de una rama, así como de la realización de ciertos hitos dentro de cada rama.

• Elegir una de estas vías específicas dentro del árbol de habilidades, da al jugador la oportunidad de especializarse en un área determinada. Esto fomenta la inter-dependencia del jugador, mejorando la experencia en la artesanía.

When we reference not being masters of all that doesn't mean you're not a master within your own one of the three artisan types, which is crafter or gatherer, processor. You will be a master of one of those, you will not be master of the other two. – Steven Sharif

Artisan skill tree

Tala skill tree in Alpha-2.

Progression to each "tier" within an artisan profession grants skill points that can be utilized in a character's artisan skill tree.

In all three of the branches you'll have skill trees for your profession. So, those skill trees you'll be able to find passives that'll give you stat bonuses, and predicates for extra functionality within whatever the profession is, access to stations, expanding out some of the various systems, like you can see some of the surveying ones: You can add extra pylons, or extra scanning range, and lower the cooldown on how often you can survey. So, we're trying to make those trees interesting and give people know different paths so they can progress through. – Kory Rice

• Respeccing artisan skills is going to be more difficult than respeccing adventuring skills.

Artisan certification quests

Progresión de las profesiones within each profession requires the completion of certification quests.

We're planning on having some content related to onboarding players to the different professions; and you're going to need a tool for the first time; and you're going to want to craft a thing for the first time; and learn how to do those things. But, we also want to extend that out to more of a individual story-arc-like experience for players. So, as you as you become a better Lumberjack you'll play out your story as as a lumberjack: so these different certification quests are to be keystone moments in that story progression. – Kory Rice

• There are limits to the number of professions at each certification tier across the three artisan branches.
• Achieving an artisan certification in a profession also implies that the character also achieved any lower-tier certifications up to that point.

Artisan mastery

A character may only ever be a Master in up to 3 professions and Grandmaster in up to 2 professions across all artisan branches.

• Artisan mastery is no longer restricted to a single branch.

• Characters may change which professions they master.

Becoming a master Crafter or a master Processor or a master Gatherer should be a significant time investment and resource investment; and because of that it should also be something that when you achieve that status it's like people on the server know who you are. – Steven Sharif

• Masteries aren’t just about making an item. They grant many things, including titles, access to items, bargains, and quests.

• Previously it was stated that with considerable effort a player can master all professions within a mastered parent artisan class. This was later changed to a player being able to master some but not all professions within a mastered parent artisan class. This was changed to being able to master up to two or three professions within a mastered parent artisan class (subject to testing). This was changed to being able to master up to two professions. The current stance is only being able to become a Master of 3 professions and Grandmaster of 2 professions across all branches.

Q: What would be the daily activities for someone at level 50 with a maxed out artisan tree?

A: The daily activity might be something along the lines of, depending on what type of profession or processor you are, of interacting with fellow artisanship individuals to wheel and deal on supply and demand chains; orchestrating and participating and caravan roads that move materials across the world so that you can satisfy buy orders and/or commission requests. Participating in unique trades and/or dungeon experiences that have the opportunity to acquire unique crafting materials so that you can create the dragon's legendary sword and sell that potentially. Finding unique harvestable materials in remote parts of the world or engaging in treasure map finding for again unique materials and/or processing things. There's a whole host of different intents that are loops for the players to participate in that again are situationally relevant based on the world state. – Steven Sharif

Artisan gear

There's gear for all of the different crafting, gathering, and processing professions that'll help you do those different trades. – Kory Rice

Artisan gear boosts artisans in their gathering, processing, or crafting professions.

• Profession NPCs sell lower level artisan gear. Higher level gear is crafted by players.

• There are three artisan gear slots on a character's paper doll UI. Previously these was referred to as undergarment slots.

• Artisan gear and adventuring gear do not need to be swapped for either to be effective when they are equipped on a character, but players will be able to toggle gear visibility between their adventuring and artisan gear.

If you want to be seen as wearing the herbalists outfit, you're still going to have your adventuring gear present and on the character, and benefiting from the stats that are conferred by them; and vice-versa. – Steven Sharif

• The developers are planning to have artisan gear sets available for Alpha-2.

• Gathering tools and artisan gear have stats that affect gathering rates and yields.

Gear for artisans are going to live alongside your adventuring gear. So you will currently- the approaches, and we'll test this but currently- the approach is you'll have artisanship oriented gear. This might be beneficial for your gathering; it might be beneficial for your processing, or crafting, or whatever it is- your profession. Essentially you will craft that gear, you will equip that gear, it'll live almost as a undergarment slot so to speak; and then you can activate that and it will show the appearance if you wish during the activation when you gain the benefit from the from the gear itself; and then could disappear afterwards and go back to your adventuring gear. That's the current approach. We're going to play with that a little bit. There's some discussion and disagreement on the team about how we do that, but our hopes are for Alpha two, we will have I think a couple of sets at least. We're demonstrating all of the artisanship from gathering to processing to crafting in limited fashion in Alpha 2 want to have that gear present to play with this approach. – Steven Sharif

Gathering tools

Elaboración (Crafting) an apprentice herbalism gathering tool in Alpha-2.

Different professions will have a number of quests available to introduce players to their first toolsets; and then, their toolset sustainability will be incumbent on the player to continue to gather the resources necessary to repeatedly create these tools, because they have a durability that gets expended when interacting with the resources in the open-world. – Steven Sharif

Each gathering profession will have three tools. The tools come online as you progress through the profession; and the different resource types for each one of the professions may require different tools. So, you basically want to carry around the right tool for the job. And tools along with artisanship gear will have stats on it, so you can itemize towards how you want to gather, how fast you want to gather. – Kory Rice

Las herramientas de recolección (también conocidas como herramientas de cosecha, herramientas artesanales y conjuntos de herramientas) permiten recolectar recursos en Ashes of Creation.

• Cada profesión de recolección tiene tres herramientas de recolección. Cada herramienta permite recolectar distintos tipos de recursos.
  • Cada profesión tiene misiones que introducen a los jugadores en sus primeros conjuntos de herramientas.
  • Las herramientas de recolección y el equipo de artesano tienen estadísticas que afectan a las tasas de recolección y los rendimientos.

• Los recolectores deben tener el certificado de artesano necesario para utilizar herramientas de ese nivel (o inferior).

• Las herramientas de recolección se equipan en la ranura de herramientas de artesano de un personaje.

• La progresión en la clase de artesano "recolector" desbloquea herramientas de recolección de nivel superior que permiten recolectar recursos de un nivel superior.
  • La progresión de artesano desbloquea herramientas de exploración de nivel superior que permiten una mejor identificación de los recursos recolectables en un lugar.
  • Un mayor nivel de progresión también puede acelerar los tiempos de recolección y el rendimiento de los recursos, y puede permitir el acceso a recursos en fases de crecimiento más tempranas.
  • Un recolector al máximo nivel de habilidad desbloqueará herramientas de maestro que le darán acceso a los recursos de recolección de mayor calidad.

Tools do advance within the artisan tree, so your ability to either gather, process or craft will require the equivalent tools necessary at that stage of crafting in order to accomplish the task at hand. So, you could not mine copper and mithril with the same tool. – Steven Sharif

• Las herramientas tendrán durabilidad y vida útil.
  • La cantidad de usos de una herramienta de recolección aumenta a medida que el recolector se vuelve más competente en el árbol artesanal de recolección.
  • Las herramientas pueden convertirse en no reparables, por lo que será necesario volver a fabricarlas.

• Los artesanos no tendrán que depender de otros árboles para fabricar sus herramientas.

• Los desarrolladores están considerando la introducción de herramientas de recolección que requieran de dos jugadores, como sierras para dos personas que puedan talar árboles más grandes.

Your progression within the profession will take account what tools you can use. There might even be some opportunity to do some gathering with other players that . Typically in other games that I play you usually do the gathering alone. You're venturing around alone; and we wanted to take a look at maybe having a friend to help you with a two person saw on a larger tree. Maybe there's some panning that you could do as opposed to just hitting with the pickaxe. So, we'll have other tools that are part of that progression path and other activities that players can do if they would like to gather together. – Kory Rice

Cadena de suministros artesanales

Los artesanos dentro Ashes of Creation deben elegir una rama en su arbol de habilidades artesanalas. Esta dependencia entre ramas establece una cadena de suministros desde las materias primas hasta el producto finalizado. Cada etapa de la cadena puede requerir el uso de caravanas para transportar mercancias de un artesano a otro.

1. Obtención de las materias primas:
   • Usando la profesión de recolección.
   • Matando mobs y jefes.
   • Desmontando armas o armaduras.
   • Comprandolos a otros jugadores.
2. Refinando las materias primas con la profesión de procesamiento.
3. La profesión de elaboración termina el producto usando las recetas de elaboración.
   • Las recetas también se pueden obtener del drops de jefes.

As a crafter you're going to want to know where certain recipes can be fulfilled; which nodes have the capability of creating what you've processed material that you've gathered for; and then you're going to want to plan out your route to either transit the goods there or make sure that you're situated in the area so that you can go out collect and build in that area as well. So there's a lot of planning that's going to be necessary. – Steven Sharif
