Gear sets

2nd Sword Division non-cosmetic gear set 3D renders. 3D model by Keith Kovach.

Not all armor sets will be the cookie cutter set. They will have the influences from the crafter available in it, if it's a crafted set. – Steven Sharif

Equipping the Titanbark gear set in Alpha-2.

We're going relatively traditional in the gear access points by being driven by level tier that players will have access to. So as you advance in your adventuring class you will begin to unlock the ability to equip gear of a higher level. – Steven Sharif

Gear sets (also known as tier sets) are a part of Ashes of Creation.

• In general, higher tier gear will be from gear sets.

Q: How often will armor be part of an entire armor set with other cosmetically matching pieces versus unique armor pieces that don't match or go along with anything else in the game?

A: There is a balance of both set pieces and non-set pieces and usually you're going to see at higher grades within a tier are going to be more predominantly set driven; and the lower interstitial power levels of the gear for that tier are the potentially bespoke pieces; and obviously those pieces are catered around a number of different interactions, such as ones you get from quests, ones that you get from drops, ones that you can craft, ones that you get from legendary bosses, ones that you get from guild-oriented tasks, or in-game favor and unique currencies. So there's different types of acquisition models and each of them has a spattering of either bespoke pieces or set-oriented pieces; and there are even varying levels of set pieces as well. So you might have a full eight piece set, or a three-piece set, or a five piece set, depending on where it lives within the tier. – Steven Sharif

• Players gain bonuses depending on the number and tier of pieces they have equipped.

• Apariencia racial of gear sets is tied to the character model of that race.

• It will be possible to store and swap gear loadouts with a single button press when out of combat.

• Approximately 49 unique gear sets were obtainable in Alpha-1 from crafting, quests, drops and exploration. These were unique sets with different stats, but some may be similar in appearance.

• There are passive abilities that can be chosen to become more adept with certain set types.
• There will be viable non-set builds.

Crafted items

Elaboración (Crafting) UI. Alpha-1 captura de pantalla. Credito de imagen: Guild:Overlord

Crafted items (also referred to as Completed items, Finished goods, or Final products) are items produced by crafter artisans using crafting stations.

• Completed items can be accessed by players in warehouses at any node regardless of citizenship or housing ownership.
• Crafted gear is considered best-in-slot in Ashes of Creation.
  • Previously it was stated that crafted items will be on-par with boss dropped items.
  • Crafters will be able to assign different skills/abilities and stats on gear.
    • Master crafters will be able to influence several (but not all) stats on their crafted items.

Crafted gear in the game is the best gear... One thing that I'm not a fan of is that you develop a crafting system in a game and you've spent a lot of time making this from a material and resource perspective. All the tables that you can receive, all the connectivity in the economy and how crafting is associated with the game; and then you undermine the crafting entirely by presenting a separate route of gear acquisition that is on-par with the crafting efforts. So here you have these people who are acquiring all of the resources getting, all the recipes, leveling up their professions and then everything they make is less or equal to anything you could just have chosen the easier path of and gone down the questing and received the best gear. So what we do focus on is that crafters make the best shit. Excuse me, the best things. – Steven Sharif

• The rarity of crafted items will be commensurate with the effort required to gather, process and craft the items.
  • Stats on crafted items will vary based on the item's rarity.
  • Apariencia del equipo is influenced by the rarity of the crafted item.

That plays into our crafting system in and of itself. The idea is for those stats to be variables that can be dictated based on the mastery level of the particular crafter; and the higher they become a master of those professions, whether it be for armor or for weapons or for accessories, they're going to have some agency and put their mark on essentially what items they're introducing into the economy. – Steven Sharif

• Crafters are able to influence what their crafted items will look like.
  • At the moment, harnessing corruption to warp items into demonic or decayed things is not on the cards.
  • A crafter's name is embedded in the items they craft.

We believe that every item that exists in the world should in some way reflect its creator. As such, there will be extreme versatility in our crafting system – giving crafters the ability to create unique items that represent their strengths and weaknesses.

Habilidades y estadísticas en el equipo

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Los artesanos (crafters) podrán asignar distintas habilidades y estadísticas el equipo.

• Los maestros artesanos podrán modificar varias (pero no todas) estadísticas de sus objetos fabricados.
  • Las estadísticas de los objetos crafteados variarán en función de su rareza.
• También habrá formas de mover los bloques de estadísticas, pero no será una tarea fácil.
• A todo el equipo se le podrá asignar cualquier estadística.

Crafters will be able to 'rejigger' stat blocks; and there will be a couple of other ways to move things around to create both the look and the stat block that you're looking for. It's not always going to be easy. There will be a lot of challenges involved with that. But the goal is to give you guys the option to customize your gear the way you want them to be. – Jeffrey Bard

Not all armor sets will be the cookie cutter set. They will have the influences from the crafter available in it, if it's a crafted set. – Steven Sharif

El equipo se divide en estadísticas básicas y estadísticas adicionales..

Gear enhancement

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Las mejoras de equipo (piedras o runas de poder) se pueden aplicar a armas para añadir elementos o tipos de daño.

• Las mejoras de equipo no aumentan el requisito de nivel del objeto .

We are very likely going to have a rune system and then we'll have the ability to sort of enchant weapons outside of that too... That's not always going to be like a vertical progression... Some of it's going to be giving up something to get something else; so maybe I do less physical damage but more magical damage, that thing. – Jeffrey Bard

• La progresión en varios sistemas Pvp desbloqueará piedras de mejora que otorgan al equipo beneficios temporales centrados en PvP (mediante un sistema de engarce). El rendimito se mide en temporadas PvP de 6 meses.
  • Guerra de gremios.
  • Arenas.
  • PvP de caravanas.

It's not as though you're going to necessarily acquire these once and then you're set for your PvP enchantments, but instead you'll have to continually perform month after month in order to keep having those slotted enchantments. – Steven Sharif

Enchanting

Enchanting is not an artisan profession in its own right. Escribas create scrolls that can be utilized by different professions to create enchantments relating to that profession.

• Enchantment scrolls can be sold on the open market.

• Enchanting does not increase an item's level requirement.

You don't really push a particular item's level requirement or the identity of that item. You can enhance it, you can add enchantments to it, but it's still the item it is. – Steven Sharif

Modular armor

Kaelar base level Ashes of Creation Apocalypse robe set.

You can start to see like some of the components that we put together that we can mix and match and make new armors from. This is the base chassis for all of that. – Jeffrey Bard

Your base look for the character can be pretty boring, but what Steven gave us a challenge with from day one was to make sure even the base look, the t-shirt and pants, looked amazing... This is your zero character, if you will... Then you can go in and customize everything from the shoulder pads to the elbow pads, the belt that goes around them; do you want duel belts, you want to harness the clothes in the front. So every piece you see on here you can actually customize that at the front end. So what we do is we scale that up from zero, ten and twenty... We scale it up and we customize it; and then I want to really stress that each one of those looks as you progress is different. We're not just repurposing the same armor pieces. We're making unique sets that complement each other as you progress. – Mat Broome

Ashes of Creation Apocalypse will have three different armor themes: Plate, leather and robe.

You can actually have three different types of themes: You have plate, you'll have leather and you'll have robe. So for every armor set that we're showing at each one of those tiers, you're actually gonna have nine unique looks to pick from. – Mat Broome

Apariencia del equipo

Alpha-1 female plate armor 3D render.

We want to be realistic with the application of particular types of armor, such as plate armor. In this regard for the different sexes there's a fine line that has to be drawn between accentuating the form of the sex as well as making it somewhat realistic and actually applicable to the environment. – Steven Sharif

Se pretende que el equipo tenga una apariencia realista.

• Mo habrá armas sobredimensionadas.
• Las armaduras no tendrán un aspecto excesivamente sexual.

  I'm more of the mind that it wouldn't really serve a purpose to have bikini plate armor, just in like reality, if you're going to have armor, it should be protective. I think from a fashion statement is enjoyable for some people, but it's a an immersive issue. – Steven Sharif

  • Algunas armaduras y disfraces revelarán más que otros, pero no habrá desnudos en el juego.

  There might be sliders, but there are not gonna be naked sliders. – Steven Sharif

Las armaduras adoptarán unaapariencia racial. Las armas escalarán su tamaño en función de la raza.

Each race is getting its custom geo pieces, which then will share thematic components such as color palette, attachments, design filigree. Those types of things will get shared across the geo but generally you're going to see unique races with unique geo. – Steven Sharif

• Los cosméticos pueden ser usados por todas las razas, pero puede que haya ligeros cambios para que se vean bien con las diferentes complexiones corporales de cada raza.

Los jugadores pueden cambiar el color del equipo usando tintes.

Se puede configurar que se vea el casco o no.

• El peinado puede quedar oculto si se activa la visualización del casco.

Los "efectos de partículas" se usan para denotar la importancia y la rareza de algunas armas.

Los artesanos pueden influir en el aspecto de los objetos que crean.

Parte de la siguiente información no ha sido confirmada recientemente por los desarrolladores y es posible que no esté en la hoja de ruta de desarrollo actual.

Las armas se pueden enfundar.

Attachments

Se pueden desbloquear estos extras como piezas de adorno de la armadura para crear un aspecto personalizado.

• Habrá cientos de estos accesorios disponibles, desde un pequeño broche, hasta la placa frontal de una coraza.

Armas y armaduras raciales

Esta traducción puede estar desactualizada.

Apariencia según raza de la Armadura en la Alpha-1.

Violet light y yo estamos usando exactamente la misma armadura: mismas estadísticas, todo igual, pero si le cae a ella tiene una apariencia y si me cae a mi tiene otra; y... una pequeña parte es por el género, pero la otra parte es la raza. Por lo tanto, debido que era un Vaelune en esa partida, mi armadura es del estilo de Vaelune; y cuando ella la cogió era de estilo élfico, porque era una elfa. Así que eso te da un ejemplo de la variedad de looks que estamos buscando y como tratamos de capturar quién eres como personaje y te permite construir tu look de esa manera.. – Jeffrey Bard

Arte conceptual de armaduras con estilos raciales Dünir y Empyrean por Keith Kovach.

Las armas y armaduras no están bloqueadas por raza, pero la armadura cambiará en función de la apariencia de la raza.

La personalización del equipo en funciónd e la raza se centra en las armaduras, no en los accesorios o armas. Los modelos visuales de las armas y accesorios serán muy parecidos sino iguales entre todas las razas – Steven Sharif

• La apariencia según raza del equipo está enfocado en la armadura, no en las armas.Las armas no cambiarán su diseño aunque si que escalarán su tamaño en función de la raza.

La personalización del equipo por raza está más concentrado en los sets de armaduras más que en las armas. Las armas, desde el punto de vista de los modelos de juego, serán prácticamente iguales entre las razas. – Steven Sharif

Digamos que, por ejemplo, posees el set Águila o algo parecido: El set Águila tiene un arte y un tema de diseño que incluirán ciertos complementos en la armadura. Esto incluirá una paleta de colores y un tema. Tendrá ciertos aspectos que lo definen como el set Águila. Sin embargo, cuando un elfo o un orco se pongan este set, obviamente tienes dos culturas muy distintas y no queremos pisotear esa cultura asignándole un aspecto de facto: "Este es el set Águila y así es como se ve para todos". Nosotros queremos que las influencias culturales jueguen un rol en cómo se ve el set. – Steven Sharif

• La apariencia racial de los sets de equipo está vinculada a la raza del personaje.

Cuando preguntan "¿qué pasa si soy un orco pero quiero verme como un elfo y que mi set Águila tenga representación élfica?" Bueno, ahí el problema es que los orcos tienen un modelo orgánico diferente. Sus cuerpos son diferentes a los de los elfos. Entonces, desde un punto de vista de alcance, es una cosa añadir las diferentes influencias culturales a una armadura; y otra distinta es adaptar cada influencia para que pueda ser utilizada de forma universal. Desde una perspectiva de trabajo, es una tarea muy difícil de tomar para los artistas de personaje. Así que en vez de eso, nos decidimos por nuestro enfoque actual, con el fin de facilitar cierta variedad de representación cultural entre las razas, a la vez que permitimos que compartan distintos bienes como las armaduras, a las cuales les dimos representaciones distintivas de cada raza. – Steven Sharif
