Warrior Build Decisions
Choose a Greatsword trait direction around your actual combat problem, compare damage and guard routes, and separate stat points from trait unlocks.
Mage Stats and Build Checks
Choose Mage stat investments using current equipment penalties and character previews, then evaluate community ratios with their assumptions in view.
Find what you came for
Match the web marker to an in-game landmark and collect tools along your unlocked route.
Pickaxe and Gathering Tools
Find a free pickaxe at the War Memorial Site, check the paid alternative, and plan which gathering tools to collect as you unlock Diamond Shores.
Map and Finding the Right Marker
Use community maps for a specific resource, boss or quest, distinguish Chronicles from the original ArcheAge, and check routes against the current game.
Choose your company
Separate a server mismatch from a channel mismatch and decide when PvP is worth the interruption.
Before you set out
A new chapter
in Auroria
XLGAMES’ Early Access description lists three regions, four classes and eight weapons. Questing, exploration and combat feed different parts of progression, so the next useful upgrade can be a skill unlock or a new route through the world.
Use this guide for the decision in front of you. The original ArcheAge has different systems, and its maps and class advice need a separate identity check.
