ArcheAge

ArcheAge, developed by the Korean company XLGames, caused a storm of admiration among gamers. It is even jokingly called "Ahrenage" - for the huge number of opportunities that are provided to each player. In this "sandbox" you can fight, accompany caravans, trade, build, and pump heroes even in two directions at once.

ArcheAge Gameplay and Characters

There is no special plot here, the meaning comes down to development in any chosen case. Since the game is developed by Koreans, the races are very special.

There are 4 of them in total, 2 for each of the continents:

• The Noonans are human-looking and the elves are in the West.
• Harni and Cat-like Ferres in the East.

There is also the Northern Continent, where there are many rare resources, but there are also enough monsters, territories for sieges. Those who are lucky to break through and chop off a piece of land for their own needs will cause the teeth grinding envy of rivals.

Specialization and skills

Division into classes in "ArcheAge" is not provided, instead they are allowed to choose 3 out of 10 specializations, which determine the appearance of the selected hero. Race has little effect on characteristics, although passive skills should be taken into account. For example, ferre, like cats, fall without problems from any height, and elves are able to breathe underwater.

Specializations are worth mentioning separately, 120 options are provided, and a special feature is that abilities can be assembled. Only in "ArcheAge" is it possible to meet a warrior-magician or a healer-swordsman. It is also valuable that specialization can be changed at any time, each character has its own experience scale, and not even one, they can be slowly pumped. At the same time, the indicators of a warrior, for example, are not lost when switching to a mage.

Features of leveling up in "ArcheAge"

Almost all skills have combo effects, so the combat tactics of the characters are different. You can create a hero for one-on-one battles or for massive battles, some effects can only be triggered when paired with someone. Leveling, in general, is simple: run on quests, beat monsters and complete tasks, while mastering skills and abilities.

But there is also a small snag. After level 30, you will have to work as a spy on an enemy continent to gain experience and knowledge. And there it is much easier to run into an ambush, so good pumping is required. In addition to monsters, other online players are also sneaking around, and not all are friendly. However, the developers made a gift for the newcomers - at the initial levels, the territories are considered peaceful, no one touches the new ones. This gives you a great head start to get comfortable and learn to play.

Trade & Guilds

It is much more difficult to survive alone, so it is recommended to join a guild, where comrades will always help to deal with enemies. In addition, it is easier for a company to fight bosses, send trade caravans, and trade. Help is invaluable during sieges as well. Loners, of course, will also find a place in the game, but their activities will be limited to craft or farming. Although war is war, and food is also needed for lunch, so if the management is successful, the player will not be left behind either. After all, resources are allowed to be sold at auctions.

The Challenges of Farming in ArcheAge

You can cut wood, raise animals, mine rocks, make equipment, weapons, collect herbs ... Even create an underwater farm. But it's worth deciding right away, since you won't be able to do everything at the same time. For planting, watering, weeding, work points are charged.

It is also important to choose the right climate, because different crops grow in different ways, potatoes can be harvested in a few minutes, and you will have to wait for the trees to grow at least 14 hours in real life. Danger lies in wait on the part of thieves, other players can easily steal crops. There is, of course, the opportunity to sue them if there is evidence, but the criminal will stay in prison for a little while: from a couple of minutes to several hours. And then he will again climb into someone else's garden. In such cases, the scarecrow helps, which can be obtained by completing the desired quest.

Nuances of construction

Trees are allowed to be sold or used to build a house. You can build anywhere, architecture - to your taste, even inside it is permissible to arrange furniture and decorate rooms. If only there are enough resources.

But there are also problematic points:

• Only those who have purchased the floor plan on Mirage Island are allowed to build.
• When the house is built, you need to pay property tax every week, so it is recommended to immediately save the required amount. If there is not enough money, it will not work to evade payment, the house will simply be demolished. And all expenses, it turns out, will be thrown into the wind.

Players do not build houses "for show-off", it gives many advantages. You can set up a vegetable garden on the site, allocate part of the rooms for workshops for machine tools, allocate a place for teleportation. And you can invite friends, but of course! They will also be able to enjoy the benefits of the house.

Pros and Cons of ArcheAge

Players like that the necessary funds can be earned, both peacefully and by guarding the same caravans. Several currencies are quoted in the game: Delphic stars, gold, tears of the goddess Nui, crystals. The most valuable is the Delphic one, which revolves only in trade. Separate adventures are promised by sea travel, as half of the map is occupied by water.

"ArcheAge" is valuable because there is a place for any player, regardless of his inclinations and preferences. It also helps to find new friends, both online and in real life.
