@Liz_Vermillion (question), @BaldorDarkfire (question), @Dawmery (question), @Roofian (question), @Pshields (question), @BraydenS (question), @Aniion (question), @akabear (question 1, 2), @ace1234 (question), @Kaoztrophe (question), @Miguel_D (question), @Pawkets (question), @ghostxx (question) - Please only post one question next time as requested, and if you only posted one question, please try to make it more clear and direct if possible - that way it's more likely to be picked!
@Cygnus (question) - It looks like you've found your answer!
@PlasticLemons (question) - While some instanced content is for story reasons, not all of it is. While instances are not intended to be places that can be farmed repeatedly, that doesn’t mean that players will go into a specific instance just one time.
@Lyon (question) - We’ve occasionally shown armor and weapons on previous livestreams. Stats shown on equipment has not gone through a full balance pass, and specific stats shown on equipment during previous streams may change.
@KalMos (question) - Currently the plan is for a character to only be able to master one of the three Artisan classes (Gathering, Processing, or Crafting). From their Artisan class, players can only master up to two professions. Things like this are subject to change during testing with players.
@Yenn0war (question) - We have no plans at this time to add survival elements like this to Ashes of Creation. Characters will not need to eat food to stay alive.
@Shellbelle2 (question) - Yes, players will be able to collect cosmetic pets! You can find out more about what we’ve shared regarding pets in the wiki here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Pets
@TheFilthyCasualTV (question) - Ashes of Creation will not be pay-to-win, and players will not be able to purchase currency to be used in the player market.
@Niya (question) - Quests become available through a variety of different ways, and some of these ways will be more hidden than others.
@Jonoo (question) - Not all items in-game will be craftable.
@Peregrinum (question) - The current plan for Freeholds is to have a combined maximum total of six buildings, which can be artisan and/or business buildings, that can be placed in addition to the house building. Artisan buildings are required to be placed on Freehold plots to unlock the placement of processing stations. Each processing profession has four processing stations unique to that profession, that unlock as players progress through their artisan building tech trees.
@AuroraPhoenyx (question) - Once Alpha Two begins we have no plans for this to be under NDA. If there is no NDA, players can stream freely.
@Imoxator (question) - We use a few different machines for recording and livestreaming
@HOME (question) - The team is hard at work on the Rogue Archetype! We'll have more to share as soon as it's ready
@CyberAesir (question) - Each race has its own starting area. Players may choose their starting gateway regardless of their choice of race. You can learn more about starting areas and many other game systems here, on the wiki!
@Vortemis (question) - Crafting in Ashes of Creation is recipe (blueprint, schematic) based, not RNG based. You can learn more about crafting here, on the wiki!
@Hardhit (question) - Certain gatherables may only appear in some locations, during some seasons, or even during certain story-arcs. These resources could be acquired through traveling, or trade, for example
@DougBug27 (question) - I highly recommend checking out the wiki, where you can find the answers to your questions and many more! You can learn more about stats here: https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Stats
@Ghostgg (question) - Combat pets generally have a horizontal progression, not a vertical one. Unlike Summoner summons, combat pets do not increase a player's power, but instead require a sacrifice from the player. Combat pets will be levelable and will have gear available to them. Combat pets will incorporate some of their owner's power in a way that keeps the power progression horizontal. You can learn more about combat pets here, on the wiki!
@Frost01 (question) - We'll have more information to share regarding Augments as we progress further in development! For now, you can read more about Augments here, on the wiki!
