Glorious Wiki readers. We are adding the Midnight Magic video and livestream to the wiki. We appreciate your patience as we process the new and updated information! |
Character
Character page
There is no planned in-game functionality to leave personal notes regarding player characters.[2]
- We don't plan to have in-game tools to provide that tracking. Instead you will be expected to track that yourselves.[2] – Steven Sharif
A character sheet will be available closer to live launch that shows the following:[3]
- What a character looks like.[3]
- Achievements and server firsts.[3]
- Info on a player's class.[3]
- Character's back story via journal entries (that are shared publicly by the player).[4][5]
- Traits can be applied that describe a character's history.[5]
- You will have a unique homepage for each character and that homepage will be able to be customized by the user to display unique information. It will have a small out-of-game RPG component where you can construct background and traits and stuff like that.[5] – Steven Sharif
The character page will be accessible in game by opening a browser through the UI.[4]
- That's part of the character sheet desire for us which hopefully will be accessible in game as well by opening a browser through our UI where you can get back history of a character that that character has input themselves into journal entries that they may choose to share with others... For role play perspective we want people to be in depth with their characters.[4] – Steven Sharif
The player can manage what info is shown on the character page.[3]
Mobile/web application
Character appearance
Character appearance can be customized in the character creator (CC)[9] and via in-game salons/barbershops.[10][11]
- We want there to be a lot of room for people to manifest their own identity, to role play how they want to from an appearance standpoint. There's going to be parameters within which you will be able to customize a character. We want the culture and the identity of the races to exist in a range that makes them easily identifiable from other players and other cultures. So, because of that, we have to have a spectrum you can exist on. There will be a lot of hair variants you can do, body art tattoos that you can apply. You'll be able to play with the scales of the facial structure, the bones, the height, width, the body fat percentage. You'll be able to add body hair on different parts of the body. If you want to have hair on your feet, you can dial that up.[12] – Steven Sharif
- Character models are focused on realism.[13]
- A player will see a generic character before customization.[14]
- Character designs will have influences from a wide range of cultures, such as European, African and Asian.[15]
- Lolis will not be in the game.[16][17]
- Sliders and other controls, such as color palettes, will offer flexibility in customization but there will be limits based on race, gender, and the artistic style guidelines that the developers are adhering to.[18][19][16][20][21]
- There's going to be constraints to the sliders, so that was one of those big questions as work began on the character creator: How much agency do you want to allow pulling like the lower lip all the way down in this weird deformed look, or having like [an] offset cheek that's just asymmetrical to the side of the face. There's not going to be the ability or agency to create those types of weird character things. However you will have the ability to move, slide, change, grow, decrease all those components, but they'll be kept in a more reasonable and presented way in the same sense you won't be able to change the appearance of the dwarven, nor the Dünir or the Niküan races to, in my opinion, create what would be traditionally considered a Loli character.[16] – Steven Sharif
Character creator
The character creator (or character customization system) allows players to define the look of their in-game characters, hired NPCs; and potentially creatures raised by the animal husbandry profession.[23][28]
- Character appearance can be adjusted through a wide range of presets and sliders.[23][28][29]
- Character blending provides easy to use customization by morphing together two or more character presets.[30]
- Character sculpting allows detailed customization of every aspect of the body.[31]
The Ashes of Creation character creator is 100% developed in-house by Intrepid Studios and is not MetaHuman.[26]
Additional character creator features include.
- There will be unlockable features for character customization.[10]
- You have that scar because you participated in this siege, or these many sieges; or you have this tattoo because of your of a cultural background, or because of a quest that was accomplished where you're able to get that.[10] – Steven Sharif
- The beauty of it is that you can save your character- and we already have some of those features available- and load them; and in the future we want people to be able to share those characters amongst each other.[22] – Margaret Krohn
- The ability to undo changes (Ctrl + Z) will be supported, including undoing changes that were made several edits earlier.[33][34]
- Choosing base idle animations of characters will be possible in future.[35]
- Certain animations, such as blinking, will be present when they don't interfere with the customization process.[36]
- Certain ability sound effects will adhere to character customization selections, such as race.[37]
- Adjusting the background scene and lighting is a planned feature.[36]
- There's going to be a lot of environmental controls that are offered to the character creator so that people can set it up their scene the way they want to grab screenshots or to grab recordings or whatever they want to do.[38] – Steven Sharif
- Asymmetry in terms of manipulating different components of the body or different body features such as hair, beard, and eyes.[39]
- Asymmetry is going to be functionality that's possible in manipulating either different components of the body or different features like hair. The beard we saw a little bit of that blending with highlights that you can do. Margaret talked a little bit about the eye asymmetry that you can include. Obviously those are going to exist within certain parameters that we want to define on a per-race basis, but it is something that we think is cool.[39] – Steven Sharif
- Body adornments, such as piercings will be possible within cultural limits.[40]
- The developers are considering whether to allow custom tattoos to be uploaded by users.[41]
The aim is for the character creator to be on par if not much better than that of BDO.[42][43]

Character birthday rewards
Characters will receive rewards on their in-game birthday.[51]
- Daily rewards are not currently on the roadmap.
Daily login rewards or something we really have to think about in terms of what we want to offer... We want the game itself to offer enough reward to log in daily rather than trying to make it an explicit like gamified reward.[51] – Jeffrey Bard

Bankieren
Banking between characters is being discussed.[65]
Accountmanagement
Cosmetics kunnen binnen een account aan andere karakters (alts) worden toegewezen, maar kunnen maar op één karakter tegelijk actief zijn.[57][58][59]
- Er zal waarschijnlijk cooldowns zijn bij het toepassen van cosmetics tussen karakters.[57]
- De accountbeheerpagina wordt gebruikt voor het toepassen of opnieuw toepassen van crowdfunding skins en items die op één karakter tegelijk van toepassing zijn.[67][58][59]
Gear
There are multiple gear slots in Ashes of Creation.[69]
- 3 Belt slots.[69]
- 1 Mainhand slot equips a player's primary weapon.[70][74][75][76][77][73]
- 1 Offhand slot can equip shields, spell focuses, sigils, and dual weapons.[70][78][73]
- 1 Potion/Pouch/Scroll slot.[72][79]
- 8 Armor slots.[69][80]
- 5 Jewelry slots.[69]
- 3 Artisan gear slots.[88][69][89]
- 1 Artisan tool slot is used to equip gathering tools.[90]
- There may be a specific slot for musical instruments, but this has not been finalized yet.[91]
- Previously it was stated there were 16 gear slots.[80]
- Gear is not subject to inventory weight limits.[92]
Gear sets
Gear sets (also known as tier sets) are a part of Ashes of Creation.[97][96][98]
- 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.[97] – Steven Sharif
- Racial appearance of gear sets is tied to the character model of that race.[99]
- It will be possible to store and swap gear loadouts with a single button press when out of combat.[92][69][100]
- Approximately 49 unique gear sets were obtainable in Alpha-1 from crafting, quests, drops and exploration.[101] These were unique sets with different stats, but some may be similar in appearance.[101]
- There are passive abilities that can be chosen to become more adept with certain set types.[98]
- There will be viable non-set builds.[102]
Gear appearance
- Gear is intended to be realistic in appearance.[103][104][105]
- Armor will not be overly sexual in appearance.[103][105]
- 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.[104] – Steven Sharif
- Some armor and costumes will be more revealing than others, but there will not be nudity in the game.[107]
- There might be sliders, but there are not gonna be naked sliders.[107] – Steven Sharif
- 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.[111] – Steven Sharif
- The appearance of crafted gear is influenced by its rarity.[112]
- Crafters are able to influence what their crafted items look like.[114][115]
- Cosmetics can be used by all races but there may be slight variations to make them work with the body builds of each race.[116]
- Dye cosmetics can be used to change gear colors.[117][118][119]
Items on back and belt
Players can set the appearance priority for the items they wish to show in their Back and Belt slots.[72][79][122]
- Only one item can show at a time, and that is determined by player choice.[73]
- Some ranged or melee abilities require a specific weapon to be equipped. Weapons that are equipped in the character's ranged or offhand slots will automatically swap in and out as required by the skill.[70][74][75][77]
- Players may toggle back and forth between using their ranged and melee slot for basic weapon attacks.[70]
- Idle animations will be selectible by players in the character creator.[35]
