its damright ametaur to claim to release a mmo tommorrow and nothing on your website, and not let you download the game.

Either they're completely inept or just trying to milk the cow even more by having people buy founder packs.

Founders, you’ve seen it for yourselves: the population on ArcheAge’s initial Head Start servers has been burgeoning! We’re excited to announce that two new servers are being added during Head Start due to overwhelming demand. Inoch is our new North American server and will be added to the Auction House 1 cluster. Aier is our new European server and will be added to the Auction House 3 cluster.
These new servers will be brought online and available to play today: Monday September 15 at 10:30 AM PDT (GMT-7). See you in ArcheAge, Founders!

heh, this possibly means that no new servers at release, guess I'm skipping the game

[Banok]

I thought it was a definite that there were new servers on normal release, since there are funny QQ threads about it from people who I have no sympathy for.

well they are adding new servers, but they're adding them now, not at release (in 1 day)

Apparently they fucked a cool fishing system, where you would progressively get better baits and have to trade worms etc with players and possibly get someone with cooking to make lures for you, interaction and fun stuff you know. Gone, now you buy it all with some points you get from crafting.

According to some streamer im watching atleast, i may have missed out on some point but it sounds like they had a cool thing going, and decided to fuck it lets go generic buy lure fish, no need to interract with players.

God theres just potential all over the place with this game, but it seems to gradually get fucked.

There's more than just fishing system they fucked in this game

Pre 1.0 patch was the best. I don't know who's making decisions there but he's not making very good ones.

[Gravoth_iii]

Haha, its the only thing i was really looking forward to in the game, proud Salty titled wow player need more fishing mmo's.

Also not keeping up with updates or anything, just casually dropping by a stream to hear the sad news.

[Vibe]

Basically

1. Actual loot tables - Mobs would drop weapons and armor. Crafted armor was still better, but that gave you archeum and it was a fun alternative way to gear your character as your leveled up
2. No coinpurses - Everything just dropped off the mob
3. Less "merchant bought" items in crafting - You didn't need silly "shatigon" or whatever else they call them that you have to buy now. Crafting recipes required mostly gathered goods. There were rare versions of most goods, and they were required for recipes instead of purchased goods
4. Inventory expanded by gold - Not a cash shop item
5. Taxes could be paid by gold - Again, not a labour/cash shop item
6. Trade routes gave gilda stars that scaled depending on the distance traveled. The seas were crowded by people going West<->East on trade routes. Similarly you could go out and try to hunt them down. Most fun I ever had was on those trade runs.
7. You could glide over the ocean without the "wind" messing you up
8. You had two currencies - Gilda Stars and Nui Tears. Nui Tears were used for "lower grade" stuff (like more basic ship etc...).
9. You could get Nui Tears by EXPLORING. Locations around the world (that weren't on the map) would award you nui tears for stumbling upon them. Some guy's house in the middle of nowhere, or the top of a tall building that you could climb. You wouldnt' know until you got there. They are still in the game now, they just don't really reward anything.
10. Fishing would have a chance to drop treasure chests that would contain archeum and sometimes a good weapon. I loved fishing.

Everything that you can get in the cash shop can be sold on the auction house. You can technically pay for everything with gold as far as I know.

For example, currently Expansion Scrolls can be bought on the auction house for 9 gold a piece. Same goes for worker's compensation (bought two over the last couple of days from the auction house).

I agree that there should be some sort of reward for finding the different areas that are around, I walked into someones house and it threw sparks around. I didn't know what the hell was going on, only reason I knew what they used to do was because my brother played way back when and said "oh, you used to get Nui Tears for exploration".

The cross-continent trade routes give gilda stars if you choose them, alternatively, you can choose the trade route specific resources. Probably not nearly as good as it used to be, but daily quests can be done to gain about 5 gilda stars too.

Merchant bought items are a pain in the arse, and the labour costs for coin purses is a bit of a pain in the arse, but it gives an extra reason to increase larceny.

Just a couple of things that I've learnt/seen/thought although I do like the sound of the old fishing style, they might always change back to it though.

Sure that stuff can be bought off the market, but once people can just freely buy that stuff off the cash shop without limitations (except for LP pots), the value of "labor points" reduces. If taxes were only crafted and there was no LP pots in the cash shop, you wouldn't see people claiming 6+ 16x16 plots on one account, because they wouldn't have the LP to craft the taxes for them all.
Even with the LP pots 12 hour cooldown, you can still regen so much per day compared to someone who doesn't use LP pots. What is the point of labor point limitation if you can just shrug it off by using cash shop? It just seems they are taking more and more stuff out of the actual gameplay and putting it into the cash shop.

I didn't mention that in my "pre 1.0 was better" whine post, but you could also choose gold as a reward for trading (there was a gold NPC at every Gilda NPC). So once people got the gildas they needed, they would just trade for gold and the sea was kept alive. Why they took out the Gold NPC from intercontinential trade is beyond any understanding. Heck, back in the pre 1.0 you didn't have daily quests giving you gildas, so you were forced to trade (which was good!). Now everyone just chooses to do dailies instead of trading for gilda stars, unless you're a really huge guild. I don't know who thought was a good idea to put focus off of the best feature in this game and put it into fucking dailies, lol.
Now couple that with the fact that the gilda prices for blueprints were lowered by a lot, and you have people being able to claim land with a cheap as shit 15 gilda Cottage blueprint in under an hour from start. Everyone and their mother can afford houses and ships, because there's so much gilda from the main quest/daily quests. I remember I had to trade my ass off to get enough gildas just for the first boat (clipper or what's it called in EU/NA version).
Just for comparison, the smallest house was 25 gildas compared to 15 gildas - but you have to count that you didn't get nearly as much gildas from the main story.

That being said, I don't want to discourage you guys from trying the game out yourself. If you didn't play pre1.0 you won't really feel the consequences of patches 1.0/1.2, I guess. As someone who has played pre1.0, I just feel so disappointed about the game and the direction it was (and is) taking - it really used to be a great game.

Also this is a fun fact

KOR Launch = 25 servers. No pre-orders, no "founder pack" cash cow sales
RU Launch = 25 severs. No pre-orders, no "founder pack" cash cow sales
US Launch = 10 servers. 150 dollar price cash cow pre-order.

Oh, also:

Launch is today at 19:00 CET (10 AM PDT) - http://www.archeagegame.com/en/news/2014/09/archeage-launches-tomorrow-at-1000-am-pdt-gmt-7/

"Additional servers may be introduced at launch or beyond based on demand. " - which is also cool

[Vovka]

registration on the old one already closed?
btw we (RUaa) had pre-order same as Beta and Alfa access on black market 

[Vibe]

registration on the old one already closed?

No, they're not closing the old servers at all. They opened 2 new ones (1 EU 1 NA), but they also might open additional ones at launch (or later). I'm hoping there's a new server shortly after launch, just so I download the game (new PC so I need to do a full redowload sadly, but at least I can run AA on max now) and I can land grab :p

[Grumbs]

Kinda pointless expecting to play an MMO at launch. Maybe try in a few days

[Vibe]

Seems they are adding one new server for each continent, Melisara for EU. Game is up in about 45 mins. Gonna try to grab some land.

[Grumbs]

Whats the process to go through to get land? Just grind until you can afford a deed? I don't really want to rush through the game though

Ah NM found this post:

(click to show/hide)

I'm having second thoughts about going with my current guild on the server, mostly because they're pretty hardcore and I just don't have the time to be hardcore these days. Additional reasons are also that I don't really want to pay for headstart and the servers that will have headstart will be filled with nolife players/people rushing to grab land, where as servers released after headstart/at launch will be more chill, I believe. So basically getting headstart doesn't really get you anything, since you'll be competing with loads of people that will nolife first days and get top spots anyway (you'd be surprised how many people will do this) and already know how to efficiently rush and landgrab, while the casuals will not get headstart, so yeah.

That being said, I'll first steal some pretty useful guides from my guild and "store" them here Some of these you can find on the net, some are from our guild.

General/launch plans

(click to show/hide)

Going to write a short guide about what everyone should be expecting to happen, there's a 99.9% chance that it will be done in the same order as im writing them, since that pattern was used in KR/JP/RU.

1. Choosing a server and making a char
- We didn't choose yet on which server we are going to be playing, but it probably won't be the nb.1 (reasons will be given later).
- What do you need to know, is that Trion will make 5-9 servers for the headstart available, but they won't be opening them all right at start, firstly they will open the 1st server, and when that gets filled up they open the 2nd, and so on. In RU it took about 20-30 min before a server got opened.
- So if we choose the 2nd server you should know that you have about 20 min, to get ready, if we choose the 4th server, than you have a 1h+ spare time counted from when the 1st server got opened. Use that time wisely, go toilet nb.1, take a shower, put cold beverages into the fridge, get your food and drinks ready for a long AA marathon  8)


2. LandGrab and SpeedLevel
- Once you are in the game, you can start doing the quests and doing your LandGrab or SpeedLevel plans.
- Going to make a much more detailed guide about this thopic later, around OBT, with: best locations, strategic locations, family tactics and so on.


3. Gearing Up
a) Northern Continent = CLOSED
- This will happen, thats the pattern XLGames used at all their releases.
- This means that you get ported out once you step a foot there.
- What does this actually mean? No Auroria gear, no enchantment scrolls, no Flaming Logs (Tractor)...

b) GHA - Greater Howling Abyss (hard mode)
- Once you reach level 50, you will be spending lot's of time here to farm some gear, it's relatively easy to farm (much easier than crafting them), and this gear is good to start with.

c) Hasla Weapons
- These are powerful weapons (bow, 1h-sword, 2h-axe, 2-h-staff, shield, lute), those who want to do PvP actively should be farming these weapons, since they give a huge advantage at start. It's not going to be easy to farm this spot, since it will be over-camped with hundreds of other players. Best is to start farming it early.
- Form a group with a few players 3-5 preferable who are rolling for different runes, farming it with big raid is not effective, better to use more groups of small parties.
- This is also a good place to powerlevel you char, and skilltrees. So if you don't want any weapon from there, or you already got one, you can still go there to help out the guildies and also farm XP for yourself.

d) Crafting Gear
- This is a huge waste of time and resources at start, my advice is to do c) then b) and sell the Archeum drops at start, it will have a high price at start.
- If you want to level a crafting profession, start refining mats (logs, ore, leather, cloth...) to level it, and don't start crafting any gear/weapon until you reached 30k in that profession.

e) Guild Projects
- There will be trade runs organized for the guild bank, which money will be used to buy off Black Pearl Fragments and the Tank Fragments from the AH.
We will be also heavily leaning towards collecting the mats ready for the Claim Stone, so that when they open the Northern Continent we can take over a Castle for ourselves.


4. Northern Continent Opens up
- After about 3+ weeks, they will open up the NC, and the rush to claim a land will begin.
- Another 3+ weeks will pass until they activate the sieges, this will give us plenty of time to get our defense ready in time.
- You will be also able to start farming Auroria gear (with really crap drop rate).


5. Far Away Content
- Nations - or Player made factions, will be opened about 4+ months from release.
- Library and level 55 content - won't come before 6 months after release.


P.S:
Did i miss something?
Hope this helps to the players who haven't experienced an AA launch before.

Landgrab guide

(click to show/hide)

- follow main quest line until you get 15 gilda stars
- do small scarecrow quests and rush to housing site.
- Build small house + small scarecrow farm.
- get mats for large scarecrow, do quest and place it on the reserved spot

Long version:
1. Precreate your Character during beta and save to local disk. In the character generator on the right hand side, there are two buttons, Save and Load. If you already have a character then buy the salon scroll from the shop, go to change appearance and then save him/her. You can back out of the Salon without actually changing the character you have loaded. The character file is in "my documents/archeage/user/custom/". You can make a copy in case the folder gets overwritten during some update.

When you join the game at release, go to the character creator, click the Load button on the right hand side of the window and you will see your precreated characters.

2. Join the game (I will ignore queues for the moment), log on to TS and say you are online. Whoever gets there first invites all the others to a raid. There will be no guild or guildchat at this point. There will then be raidchat (/ra) at least.

3. Follow the first few quests - especially the story quests (green apostrophe). Dont miss any of these. Continue until you reach Windshade (both elves and nuians) and are level 10.

4. Some people will diverge here and continue but if you are not sure, just do the small scarecrow quest. He will ask you to plant potato, plant 1 potato and 4 barley. By the time you are finished with the quest you can harvest the barley. You dont need to harvest the potato, just planting it updates the quest. Dont place your small scarecrow down immedeately (he sends you to a housing area to talk to a flowerseller but you dont need to place the scarecrow yet).

5. Continue to where the next storyline quest takes you, and follow the storyline - you dont need to take any other quests along the way - until you have collected 15 gildas. Then find the nearest mirage portal, jump to mirage and buy the small house schematic.

Mining guide

(click to show/hide)

Hi,

Some of you were asking me for the best mining routes, so I'm just gonna make a quick guide about it.
We need a lot of stone for our builds, so whenever you have time - go mine!

Disclaimer: These routes might not be the best ones in the game, but these are the ones I use - If you don't like it, go make your own guide since I will not edit anything

I've sorted the maps from best to worst, the first map is the best place to mine, the last is the worst. Simple.
Some maps has routes so just follow the red line, some has hotspots marked with numbers, some has both - up to you what to do.


Dewstone plains (level 20ish)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


1. The best place here is the "Construction site", it has about 50 nodes, sadly this is also the most popular place.
2. This is the second hotspot, there are a couple of stones stacked together where about 10 nodes respawns at a quick rate.
3. Next to the beach there are 2-3 places that can hold a lot of nodes.
I normally use the construction site or just follow the route I've drawn up.


Sanddeep (level 40ish)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


1. This is the best spot in this map, A lot of nodes spawn next to the beach - Be ware of landsharks!!
2. On the different islands there are a couple of nodes that spawn, also all along the cost is nice.
Follow the route and have fun, best map there is (so pretty <3) , towards the end of the route there aren't THAT many nodes, but a nice detour to let the rest respawn.


Cinderstone Moor: (level 30ish)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Most of the ores here spawn inside the volcanoes and near the "mountains". Just go between the volcanoes and you should find a lot of ore.


Two Crowns: (level 27ish)
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


This map only has one spot that holds a lot of mines, the Weeping stripmine. There's a lot of nodes here to dig into!



Hope you find the guide a bit useful,
Good luck with the mining!

Fishing 101

(click to show/hide)

So basically this is all pulled from the ArcheAge Wiki but still nice to see, its a good overview and shows what you need for what fish and item.

Rods:                                                                                                                                                                                     Chum (used to lure fish so you can start fishing):

Lures:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


With the new patch you can no longer make Lures anymore, same goes for the Chum, you have to buy them through a Blue Salt Vocation Vendor.
they are pretty cheap but ofc for higher ones you need more then the low ones and also they only work with one rod, for example you can't use Yellow lures on an Archeum Fishing rod.


To start sportfishing you need to find an area with seagulls or birds around them, they will be very distinct and noticeable
visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Now to start fishing is very easy, you just need to know when to push the right buttons.
As follows this is your skillset and the skills you use for Fishing:

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Fishing: Starts normal fishing, this can be done anywhere if you have enough Worms, this also allows you to get Waterlogged Chests to open and find several items.
Sportfishing: Starts Sportfishing, this requires a Schooling spot of fishes, as said its an area with seagulls or birds around them.
Stand Firm Left: Use this skill whenever the fish turns left
Stand Firm Right: Use this skill whenever the fish turns Right
Set Free: Use this skill whenever the fish tries to swim away
Big Reel In: Deal huge amount of dmg to the fish
Reel In: Do little amount of dmg to the fish

Fishing Spots: resets every ~30min, that means they can apear/desapear or change tipe of fish every 30min.
Fishing proficiency: Every 1000 Proficiency increases your damage with reels with 2. That means difference between 0 and 50k prof. is: +100 dmg on fish damage skills, with same lvl rod.

Degrees of Fish(worth):

 1. Carp/Eels (most cheapest fish/catch found in Freshwater Fishing)
 2. Arowana (A bit more then Eels, also found in Freshwater Fishing)
 3. Bluefin Tuna (Cheapest deep sea fish)
 4. Sturgeon (Higher then Tuna)
 5. Sailfish (Best alternative if there isn't any Marlin around, these fishes bring about 2/3 of the price of Marlin)
 6. Marlin (Best fish to catch In Game, highest amount of gold)

When you are in combat with the fish you will see when it has a certain buff up what you need to click, for example if you see the icon of a Big Reel in then you press that skill to do dmg.
Same goes for the other skills when they are shown on the fish itself.

This concludes the guide, i hope it's useful for some people as it's not that hard to figure out but you need to know it

Maximizing scarecrow space

(click to show/hide)

Hi farmers,

In this guide I'll explain how to maximize the space on your 8x8 or 16x16 scarecrow.
First of all, I'd like to give credits to Fido from AAS (here/here) for supplying most of the info. I've added missing items, 1.2 items, corrected translations and generally made it easier to read.

Each seed, sapling, animal, you name it, has a specific size measured in units. In order to maximize planting space, we first need to measure the amount of units an 8x8 and a 16x16 scarecrow allows you to plant in a single row.

8x8 Scarecrow Garden: 10 units
Example: You can plant 6x '1.5 unit' seeds in one row, leaving 1 unit empty.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


16x16 Scarecrow Farm: 20 units
Example: You can plant 13x '1.5 unit' seeds in one row, leaving 0.5 unit empty.

visitors can't see pics , please register or login


Unit list - Vendor and crafted items
Using this list, you can calculate how many of a specific item you can plant in a single row on either a 8x8 or 16x16.
Example: A Seed Bundle has a measurement of 5.0 x 5.0 units, so you can plant 4 in a single row on a 16x16 Scarecrow Farm (has 20 units).

1 of each item, can be changed to 5 of a certain item, at the cost of 6g and some labor.

Each mob drops 1 random token, so without spending money, on average, you need to kill 900 mobs to get a weapon. With spending 180g, you need to kill around 150 mobs, althought the chances of getting exactly 30 of each tokens are slim.

At 18:05 ingame time, new mobs spawn:
Small scorpions: 3 tokens
Big scorpions: 7 tokens (need to confirm this, they're not worth killing with small parties)
The scorpions have a few waves of spawns, before the new wave spawns, the old mobs disappear. So killing them fast is important, if you want to get the most out of it.

At 19:05 ingame time again new mobs spawn, they drop ~22-27 tokens.
There are 2 types, (will check the exact name of the mobs when possible). Leaders first attack is stun, while the other mobs first attack is pull. This is important, because you do not want to attack a non-leader, and get pulled into all the mobs, if you're solo or a small party.
