If it makes you feel better, unlocking abilities for a class past the basic abilities use class specific sparks which drop from kills. You will still get normal sparks you can use too.

So in essence you can unlock more class stuff while also working towards your new class.

It does, at least its something.

so whats up with those little stat bonuses that i unlock while moving through the atlas? do they stick around when i switch classes, or are they class-specific?

They stick around, only things that change your prestige are your weapons. And you get those randomly as you level anyway, and can equip them.

Don't use your free appearance change if you want to change for whatever reason. At the end of the 6k prestige or so questline, your final mission is to actually GET an appearance change that is separate from youre free one. Not joking. Basically you and marcus-man are scared shitless of that Ianna lady

This hand of mine shines and roars! It's bright cry tells me to grasp victory!

So how good are the founder weapons exactly? The only difference from a normal weapon is the might bonus but it seems like the damage bonus offsets that for quite a bit ontop of the bonus effects. Not to mention being isnt being low prestige is a good thing if it's matching you and balancing around the number which doesn't actually buff you directly.

Do you get the ability to return to previous Regions at any point? I hate the idea of missing out on pretty-princessing, but I really don't want to grind out 1,500 mushrooms or whatever in one sitting.

they're extremely good at the start because of the rarity ability bonus. berserker founder weapon buffs your hardest hitting single target ability by 114%. The offhand weapon increases my primary AOE damage by 175% with an impulse charge. I still use them at 7.1k prestige, and probably will until I can get a blue/purple rarity with the same ability stat roll. You also get one for every class

I just got this and am downloading it now. I kinda want to start as either Lightbinder or Cryomancer. Is Lightbinder pretty good?

Edit: the little wand thing looks kinda dumb. The ice crystal generator looks sweet. But cryo is boring?

Pro Tip - You can sit in Queue for a Adventure/Dungeon/PVP Arena while doing a Region. This is far better then sitting staring at the screen waiting for that 20 minute arena timer to finally pop. When you finish said Arena, you'll return to where ever you left off in the Region.

Cryo is the class i have the most fun with, it has amazing AOE and good single target.

Edit: Been playing lightbringer, that class is pretty awesome as well, pretty decent deeps

You can go back to any region at any time. If you finish a region, then go back, the quest rewards will change, though. A lot will switch to give out the threads/fibers that you can use to buy more clothes, instead of sparks.

If you don't mind the broken English, here's a guide on the importance of your Order, what you might want to spend your sparks on in the Atlas, and a preview of the new Ether Core system in RU OBT that will most likely come to NA:

She's standing near Flavius/the testing pod things in the research area.

You get one change (which can be both name and face/body/gender I think) free, then additional ones are something like 5,000 Argents each.

Someone posted earlier in the thread that apparently there's a quest at around 6k Prestige that either gives you a free makeover or requires you to do one for free (the phrasing wasn't the best so I'm not sure).

The paid changes cost 2,500 argents for appearance, 5,000 for name. You don't get a free name change.

MinorRed posted:

Part of me thinks they will use those to display the statues of players that have accomplished certain late game feats, like being the first to max out the ascension atlas. But that's probably not the case. I just wish our own statue was closer to where you teleport in.

I'm pretty sure lewtt (who's like 7k+ prestige) confirmed it's free in the same post he mentioned that being a thing. Why would they force you to drop 2,500 argents to do a quest that's part of the main storyline, anyway?

Yeah he confirmed it ingame too that you don't have to change but becoming a man-lady-man to hide from the evil person is far better from a lore perspective.

The quest line gives you a second free makeover, but you're forced to do it if you want to progress in the storyline. You'll likely hit 6k prestige next week if you haven't already, so using your "whenever" free makeover is likely a waste
