In ArcheAge , the patch 3.1 will bring new levels, but not in the traditional sense, but as Alternate Advancement.
Recently, we reported on patch 3.1 “The Beginning”. It is set to be released on January 19 in South Korea. With the patch, the level cap will increase. Some speculated at level 60, but now we know: It’s not quite that simple. Instead, ArcheAge will receive an “Alternate Advancement”. These are currently on the rise – The Elder Scrolls Online has something like this with Champion Points, WildStar will introduce it soon as well.
In principle, this means: There will be a way to further enhance oneself at max level through a different way of leveling.
ArcheAge will gain Successor Levels. Experience points for this will be able to be collected starting from level 55. But you need not only experience points for advancement, but also special items – Honor Forged Medals, which can be obtained for every 2000 Honor.
When you reach the new level, you are not just “Level 56”, but achieve “Successor Level 1.” For this level, you will need 3.78 million EXP and 8 Honor Forged Medals. In total, you will need 148,000 Honor and 14.1 million EXP to reach Successor Level 7. This is based on a fan translation of the South Korean patch.
With increasing Successor Levels, players receive points that they can invest in special skills. These Successor Skills will be modifications of popular existing skills. Furthermore, ArcheAge is set to receive a unique attributes system. No details are known yet.
