Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently asked questions for new players. Work in progress.
General
When was the server launched?
August 2023.
If i start playing now will i be a lot behind of others regarding gear?
For short time yes. There is catch-up box the new player receives after reaching level 50.The gearset will bring the player to around 3-4k gearscore.
Is there land available if i start playing?
Straight free plots no. There is demolitions happening time to time around the maps. Collecting enough gold to buy a land plot is another good way of getting one. There are also custom made new player housing zones that are worth to check. They have certain conditions a player must meet in order to own land there. Darus add new player zones time to time in the game.
Is Archeage Classic p2win?
No. In the Marketplace there are no items that can help player to reach higher gearscore. There is plenty of outfits, glider skins, pets and vehicles sold with credits(real money) but players cant buy anything to speed up their progress.
What are the major differences Classic to retail?
EU server when???
Frequently used terms
X something
Means that someone is making a raid for event and asks other people to join them. In Archeage Classic there is no party search. So players have to relay on addons that do the automatic invitation based on the message in the chat. If someone is making raid for Red Dragon there will be a lot of X RD messages and by typing it yourself you will get an invite to this raid. Same goes to any other content with X and name of the event or boss. Usually raid leader announces in the nation/faction chat what they are about to do example: X UP CR.
