Aria's Autographs are unsealable items, which allow players to choose a piece of Mistsong equipment when opened. ArcheAge classic features both Weapon Autographs, as well as new custom Armor Autographs.

GHA (Greater Howling Abyss), GKC (Greater Krolal Cradle) and Mistsong equipment, due to their classification as "Dungeon" items, fall within the "Easy" path of regrades making them significantly easier to regrade than their crafted counterparts, any regrades performed upon GHA and GKC equipment prior to their conversion to Autograph's will remain, and you will reveal a Mistsong piece of the equivalent grade. This system provides an alternative way for new players to progress, with Mistsong equipment viable either as a stepping stone, or, as part of an end-game build due to the ease of availability, and overall scaleability.

When an autograph is right clicked to unseal, it will provide a choice of any item within its type, a player could craft a weapon autograph using a scepter, and reveal a bow, or craft an armor autograph with a cloth belt, and reveal a plate chest.

Autograph's are crafted using the "Distorted Mistsong Workbench" located in Mistmerrow.

How to acquire and use Armor Autographs.

Acquiring Aria's Armor Autographs requires preparation and materials. The process involves the following steps:

  1. Gather Greater Howling Abyss (GHA) or Greater Krolaol Cradle Armor Materials:
    • Players must first obtain armor pieces and regrade materials. Players searching for armor pieces should complete Greater Dungeon: Howling Abyss aswell as Greater Dungeon: Kroloal Cradle as these are a source of both equipment pieces and regrade materials. Other Greater Dungeon's may be ran for their regrade material drops, but do not drop autographable armor pieces.
  2. <Optional> Regrade the Armor:
    • Players are reccomended to use this opportunity to regrade the armor to their desired grade, preventing the potential wastage of destroying the weapon during the regrade process after comitting precious resources to its upgrading and subsequent autographing.
    • Whilst regrade scrolls will be required to take armor pieces beyond Celestial grade, prior to this players can regrade pieces deterministically with a guarentee of success via the "Distorted Dimension Workbench" which can be found outside of Greater Dungeons.
      • These recipes require materials found within dungeons, some of which are tradeable and can be found on the auction house. Alongside 100 Labour.
  3. Autograph the Armor piece:
    • The Armor can then be upgraded into an Aria's Autograph through a crafting recipe at the "Distorted Mistsong Workbench" located at Mistmerrow.
  4. Reveal the Mistsong Armor piece:
    • Right click the Autograph to reveal the Mistsong Armor piece of your choice.
