水准

水准 won't follow a traditional linear path, although classic mechanics for leveling exist.

• Repetition will not be part of progression in Ashes of Creation.

職業成長

• 玩家在遊戲開始時選擇主原型。
  • 玩家無法更改主原型。

• 技能點會在升級時獲得，用作提升技能樹中的技能。
  • 技能點將不足以將所有技能提升至滿級。

• 達到等級 25 時，玩家可以選擇副原型。 主副原型的組合稱為職業。
  • 副原型不會賦予新技能。
  • 玩家可以變更副原型，但不會是處時處地。

• 玩家可以透過副原型的能力來增強主要技能。
  • 每個主技能樹的技能也會有數個由副技能樹賦予的增強選項。這是個橫向成長的例子。
  • 增強主要技能將改變技能的本質 – 了解技能本來的用法，並將其與副原型/職業的特性融合。

若一名鬥士選擇法師為副原型，其將變成 Spellsword. 組合原型後，玩家可以將主技能樹的技能增強。鬥士的衝鋒能讓他們衝向敵人，對其造成傷害並有機會擊倒敵人。而法師的逃脫增強可以應用於衝鋒，讓衝鋒變成將玩家傳送到目標的位置，移除了本來向敵人衝鋒所需的時間。

職業成長與玩家的匠人成長無關。

世界事件不會直接影響職業的效能，但將可能有一些附帶影響，例如裝備、附魔和紋身的供應。

職業技能

Alpha-1 preview primary skills.

If from the eight archetypes whatever you choose as your secondary, you're going to receive a choice of augments that relate to some core ideal of that class. You know like a tank is about controlling the battlefield, is about surviving. The mage is about dealing damage and elements and ability in AoEs. The rogue is going to be about stealth and critical damage. So those augments are going to to play towards those identities. – Steven Sharif

The idea behind the system is that you're skirting the line through these augmentations of your role, right. We have the traditional holy trinity that's present in class designs for MMOs and it's often that those either are not deviated at all or completely deviated from entirely. The augment is to offer a balance between that where you still maintain the semblance of that trinity system while offering the opportunity to customize your play experience towards one of the other angles in the triangle. – Steven Sharif

主要技能 (class abilities) are based on a player's archetype.

• A player may choose a secondary archetype when they reach level 25. The player can then augment their primary skills with effects from their secondary archetype.

• Outside of class-specific skills there may be a subset of universal skills, such as active block and dodge.
• Class skills are not affected by the type of weapon that is equipped.

• 主要技能 in Alpha-2 are expected to be very different to those in Alpha-1.
