Looting

Alpha-2 looting UI preview.

In the group loot obviously there's a lot of functionality here that parties have the ability to customize. There can be loot master, there can be round-robin, there can be need/greed/pass that's applied on a per rarity basis depending on the party's choices. – Steven Sharif

Alpha-2 vote to change loot allocation method UI.

Ashes of Creation intends to use traditional loot rules, selected by the party or raid leader.

• Group loot rules are defined on a per-rarity basis.
• A majority of party members must vote to approve any changes to group loot allocation changes.
• The developers are considering using a double-tap interaction to loot all containers within a close proximity radius.
• There won't be auto-looting pets.
• It will be possible to kick a player from a party prior to them acquiring loot.

Yes, technically it would be possible for you to kick a player prior to acquiring loot. However, again because we are a game that relies on social interactions, there are reputations to be had; and if you acquire a reputation as a raid leader, or as a party leader, of doing something dirty like that, then it's unlikely you'll be able to Garner the support of future party members and/or raids to lead efforts against these raid bosses. – Steven Sharif

Free-for-all.

• Whoever is first to loot gets the loot.

Lootmaster.

• A master looter (or lootmaster) is a player designated by the party leader to decide how loot is distributed in a dungeon or raid party.

Round-robin.

• With round-robin looting, party members take turns looting.

Need or greed.

• This is a traditional need before greed system based on dice rolls.
• Since there is very little gear binding in Ashes of Creation, it's left to the party to deal with players who excessively roll Need on loot.

以下某些信息最近尚未得到开发人员的确认，可能不在当前的开发路线图上。

Bidding system.

• Intrepid are investigating a potential bidding system, which allows players to bid on items instead of rolling for them.
  • The highest bidder wins the item.
  • The gold then goes into a pool that is split among the rest of the party members.

AoE looting

AoE (Area of effect) looting is not included in the looting mechanics at the time of writing. It may be added based on feedback.

Loot tables

Alpha-2 拾取模式 UI.

• Mobs drop glint, 物品, and crafting materials in preference to gold.
  • Glint is not bound to a specific region and can be also dropped by players on death as stolen glint, based on applicable death penalties.
  • The rarity of glint increases with the mob's level.
  • Loot tables are disabled for player controlled monsters.
  • There is a small 隨機性 chance of looting rare and legendary items or crafting materials from mobs based on the level, status and type of mob. This also applies to harvesting resources with a gathering profession.
  • Experience debt decreases the drop rate percentages from monsters.

• Loot (loot tables) from world bosses or dungeon bosses has a small 隨機性 chance of dropping gear (completed items).
  • There is a much higher chance that materials and unique recipes are dropped that can be used to craft items of equitable value.
  • Legendary equipment is only dropped by Legendary world bosses.

• 數值 on dropped items will vary based on the rarity of the item.

• Loot tables will likely not be affected by weather conditions. This was previously listed as a possible effect.

• There won't be specific loot drops for artisans. Previously it was stated that master gatherers may have the ability to "spoil" a boss' loot.

Q: Can only one gathering artisan harvest resources from a single boss, or can multiple different artisans harvest different parts from a boss for different resources? For example, a lumberjack gets a special wood from Tumock's tree weapon, while a herbalist gathers the flowers from that same tree.

A: We don't have the concept of harvesting from bosses. NPCs follow a reward table format, where those reward tables are global. They're not unique to particular players. So, once the NPC is vanquished, you have access to the loot container that is its corpse; and it has a static value of either materials or items that get dropped; and whatever the party loot settings are that you might be a part of, or if you're a solo player you will be able to recover those things.

Caravan looting

Alpha-1 — 商隊 PvP。

You won't be able to see inside specifically but as part of the caravan structure itself there will be little hints as to what the cargo is. So for example if you've seen some of our recent footage with caravans you see sitting on top of the caravan there's some gold or some silver or some iron. – Steven Sharif

商隊週邊會形成一個開放式 PvP 區域，區域內的玩家會被標記成戰鬥員 (紫色)。

• 在決定進攻或防守商隊前，玩家將無法確切看到商隊運輸中的貨物。但會有視覺提示顯示車上的貨物，例如金、銀或鐵。
  • 商隊時裝外觀將不影響視覺提示的效果。
• 玩家將可以透過介面視窗決定攻擊、防守或無視商隊。
  • 距離商隊多遠視窗才會出現，將取決於玩家先前作為攻擊方或防守方的表現。
• 要成功擊毀一個商隊，將需要一個隊伍。
• 在商隊擁有人登出或與伺服器連接中斷 5 至 10 分鐘後，商隊才會消失。

It's still intended from a design standpoint to be a window that is presented to the player based on proximity; and that proximity it can be greater depending on your performance as either a defender or an attacker in previous raids. – Steven Sharif

雙方皆有誘因鼓勵玩家加入，並將於 Alpha 及 Beta 階段測試。

• 大部分誘因都是社交性的，而且是由玩家之間非正式協議而成。

The caravan defender role is going to have its own progression questing and rewards associated with it that are going to attract a certain subset of players and then vice-versa wise we're going to have incentives that appeal to the more highway brigand type players; and you might not always be on one side or the other: that might change depending on what your interests are in the at the time. But obviously those types of systems need to have robust consequential type rewards and benefits associated with them in order to compel the player; and that's something obviously we're going to test in alphas and betas and see how performant it is in actually attracting players to participate and make sure it's not just one-sided so-to-speak. – Steven Sharif

Also the hope would be that the people who are running the caravans can offer their own rewards that "Hey if you come help me defend this thing I'll give you some cut", or that these are my friends or these are my guilds- that a lot of the sort of incentive is social and created between players. – Jeffrey Bard

角色死亡

Alpha-1 — 於戶外地下城死亡。

We don't have deleveling, instead what we have is experience debt. Now the more experience debt you accrue, the greater the detriment to your character; not to the point where you can not get out of the debt. There will always be a way forward to remove your debt. – Steven Sharif

玩家死亡時會化為灰燼。灰燼中包含玩家因死亡懲罰而掉落的物品。 任何玩家都可以即時拾取灰燼。 拾取灰燼不會觸發玩家標記。

• 非戰鬥員 (綠色玩家) 死亡時，將遭受一般懲罰，包括：
  • 損失經驗值 (負數經驗值)。
    • 技能和數值減弱。
    • 生命力和法力減少。
    • 裝備熟練度減少。
    • 怪物物品掉落率減少。
  • 耐久度減少。

  When players die and they take durability loss, our durability loss isn't like other games where it's a gold sink so to speak. It's a combination of both a gold sink and a material sink. So in a sense, even if you only have completed items, when you take that durability loss you are losing out on materials. It's just a debt to the materials that you are losing instead of the active loss of that material in your inventory. So now you are accruing a material debt if you want to repair and increase again the performance of those particular items that take that durability loss. – Steven Sharif

  • 掉落背包內的部分資源和已加工物品。
    • 亦會掉落部分狩獵證書
    • 玩家死亡時，騾隔一段時間才會消失。其他玩家可以擊殺騾來拾取身上的物品。
    • 騾死亡時，物品掉落的數量將與玩家死亡時相同。

• 戰鬥員 (紫色玩家) 遭受的死亡懲罰是非戰鬥員一半。
• 腐化 (紅色玩家) 遭受的死亡懲罰是非戰鬥員四倍，並根據目前的腐化值，有機會掉落背包內或裝備中的物品。 包括：
  • 掉落武器和裝備。
  • 能被其他玩家拾取。
  • 腐化玩家將在死亡位置附近的隨機地點復活，而不是一般重生點。
    • 非腐化玩家總會在距離死亡位置最接近的重生點復活。
  • 因腐化而遭受的能力減弱只影響 PvP 對戰。

滿等角色死亡時將損失約 2-3% 總經驗值 (未定)。

• As of May 28, 2021, the experience debt in Alpha-1 testing is "completely off mark" and will either be changed or disabled prior to the next spot test.

死亡懲罰將不適用於存在特定目標的活動 (例如商隊、公會戰、節點戰)。

There will not be death penalties applied to event-based deaths. The penalties are in the outcome of the event. So your number of deaths is likely going to impact your ability to win that particular event and that's going to be the penalty. This is it to encourage players to opt in to the events right because the more participation we have the more fun it can be; and we understand that the community at large- there's already a risk versus reward component to these events. We don't need to stack on additional risk versus reward to inhibit kind of- to increase the barrier to entry for players who may not be as interested. – Steven Sharif

• PvP 和 PvE 情況下死亡將遭受同樣的懲罰 (未定)。

玩家可能會遇溺而死。

Currency

Currency may refer to:

• Gold is the general in-game currency in Ashes of Creation.

  • Glint is a bound currency that drops from mobs and players, and is offered as a reward for completing certain quests, events, and achievements.
• Embers is a virtual currency that can be used to purchase cosmetic items within Ashes of Creation.
• Intrepid Bucks are earned through the Referral program.
