Gear enhancements

Gear enhancements are possible both during and after an item is crafted.[1][2]
- There is a combination of systems that take an item to its max potential. Players will need to contribute in a certain number of these systems to reach max. Some of the systems are an either/or situation.[1] – Kory Rice
- Crafting recipes can be enhanced by adding higher rarity or different crafting materials into their selectable crafting slots at crafting stations.[2][3][4][5]
- Enchantment scrolls and tempering allow gear to be enhanced post-crafting.[2][6]
- The bulk of a weapon's power comes from its crafting recipe and the materials used in its construction.[7]
- The contribution of materials to crafting an item results in advancing the rarity of that item. Now, that doesn't exclude players who don't have the legendary or the higher quality contributed resources from progressing their common item up the rarity tree through enchantments such as scroll enchanting or through tempering the gear. Both of those can affect the quality and the rarity of the gear that you produce, but by contributing the resources during the crafting process you are getting a head start with the higher quality item and now are less dependent on those other avenues to achieve that, which might be again a different vertical space of progression that you don't have as good of access to.[2] – Steven Sharif
- Runes/Power stones are a potential methods for enhancing weapons.[8][9]
- Enchantment stones are potential rewards for performance over six month PvP seasons. These grant temporary PvP-focused benefits to gear (via a socketing system).[10][11]
Enchanting
Enchanting is not an artisan profession in its own right. Scribes create scrolls that can be utilized by different professions to create enchantments relating to that profession.[12][13]
- Enchantment scrolls can be sold on the open market.[2][12][14]
- Enchanting does not increase an item's level requirement.[15]
- 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.[15] – Steven Sharif
Enchantment appearance
Enchantments have visual effects associated with them, such as glows and colors on weapons.[16][17]
- Indicates threat to other players.[17]
- Gives recognition for difficult achievements.[17]
Weapon progression
Weapons have their own progression paths.[20][21]
- Each type of weapon has its own skill tree that grants passive skills and proc effects and other status conditions.[22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][20][30][8]
- The weapon use combo system determines special effects that proc based on weapon progression.[20][8]
- Ancillary effects proc based on enchantment types.[8]
- Gear enhancements (power stones) can be applied to add elemental or energy types of damage.[8]
- Dual wielded weapons will have its own progression based on weapon type.[31]
- Weapon proficiency (based on length of use of a weapon) is not a planned feature.[30]
- Ashes of Creation is all about providing many progression paths... The reason why we don't like the term endgame is because with the amount of progression that's available with the amount of diversity and player agency that impacts the world... We want the weapon system [to] add an element of that as well... You can determine special effects that proc from currently the combo system; you can determine ancillary effects that proc based on enchantment types; you can power stone weapons to add different either elemental types of damage and/or energy that play rock-paper-scissor with player defenses ... and then you can skill tree out how those effects that are granted ... you can make them better you can branch them off into a different direction.[8] – Steven Sharif
Elements
There are elements (such as Air, Earth, Fire, Water, Electrical) in Ashes of Creation each with their own resistances.[32][33][33][34][35][36]
- Other elemental influences may include Darkness, Light and Planar.[36] The Air Strike ability has a nature based root.[37]
- The Mage archetype offers four elemental schools as augments to a character's primary skills.[34]
- Elements may have more influence in certain seasons and weather conditions. For example, frost abilities may be stronger in winter and lightning might be stronger in the rain.[38] This affects both PvE and PvP.[39][40]
- There may be ley lines and strong magical places in the world that change or alter the way spells work.[41]
- We've discussed a little bit about how the seasons and biomes will react with different types of skills. Like if you have a fireball and it's summer it might be a little bit different. If it's winter and you have a frost ability it might be different.[40] – Steven Sharif
