Your Playstyle/Roles
Your "Playstyle" is everything when it comes MMO's. It is the foundation of your experiance, it determines if you roll by yourself, a guild, or a buddy. If you usually play by yourself you should have experiance with MMO's, PVP, and the gameplay mechanics because if you roll by yourself your not going to want to go the route of a "Healer" or a "Tank", but somewhere inbetween. You need to be able to heal yourself, take and deal damage. You won't specialize in any one thing but you will be able to play alone.

Roles
  • Healer
    If your the healer in your group or guild you are heavily dependent on others for support and others are heavily dependent on you. You are the person who revives teammates and heals anyone whos low on health but above all the "Tank" is your priorty to keep alive and keep buffing.
  • Tank
    The "Tank", this is a vital role in any raids, dungeons, and other events. Your duty as the tank is to initiate the attack and take the aggro(grab the enemys attention), this means you'll bve taking alot of damage so your going to need to be tough, to be an effective tank you should use Plate Armour and Swords. Having more than 1 Tank is fine as long as there is a good healer.
  • DPS
    "DPS" stands for "Damage Per Second", if your the raids DPS you will have to go head on to fight the enemy, a tank is needed for this role. The DPS will deal insane amounts of damage while the Tank takes the damage, if you wan to be a great DPS magic is always an option, but you will need alot of mana for some of the better and bigger spells so go for Cloth if your a mana heavy DPS, but if your a melee DPS than go for Leather Armour

I myself tend to play alone or with my guild, Im an Animist which uses Shadow Play, Vitalsm, and Sourcery. I can heal myself, tank, and deal damage but i dont specialize in one skill tree. I will link the list of all available Classes below:

PvP/World Dangers
Player Versus Player
The idea of getting killed, robbed, or being dishonred sounds horrible. It is! This section will help you undestand how to kill other before they kill you.

Lets get something staight, you are not safe. Some dangers in the world are Mobs, Pirates, Opppisite Faction members, Sea creatures, The Kraken. The Kraken is a randomly spawned entity that spawns in the middle of the ocean and will wreck the biggest of ships in seconds, has 20 Million Healh, if you see the Kraken get on your glider and run.

The Ocean
On the high seas be careful. Pirates lurk about, and they want your trade pack/s. If you going across the ocean go with your guild or some mercanaires in exchange for some money MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A GOOD REPUTATION, or else you might find yourself in the middle of the ocean surrouned by people who want your trade pack/s and you want have help. Trading guilds are your best shot. I personally recommend "Certified Goods Exchange" they are on the on the Kyrios server and just give em a shout and they will proboly escort you to your location safely. I will post a picture of the kraken below

The Land
So youve made a trade pack dlivred it acorss the continent and you see a LvL.50 Pirate camping the gold trader. This is a pain in the arse when you took all this time deliver a pack and suddenly its stolen. ways to avoid this happening again is by watching the chat. Sometimes people scout an area and say if there are pirate camping there or not, if so ask a couple buddies to help you. Other land dangers are mainly just mobs.

PvP
After LvL 30 PvP comes into play. This means you can now kill anyone you want from an Oppsite Faction or a Pirate. But don't be too cocky because if the person your fighting is better a pvp then you, even if there a lower level might still whoop your arse. if someones tries to kill you either run or kill them. If you can revive one of your buddies or they can reive you stick with them so incase one of you dies just rez the other. If your out for blood then Shadow Play is one of your best options, Once you get Stealth you can follow someone while your invisable and then pop out of the bushes and kill them, its a real scumbag move but it works.

DONT SAY BUY FROM MP the item that gives u p2w is either 200000000g or some shit due to greedy ass people who want to exstort ppl. your better off on different mmo unless u want to waste $$$$ on ur dept card to win.

This guide needs to be posted in all of the complaint threads about griefers. When I first started out on AA, I had several times where higher level players would just kind of follow me on the outskirts, and any time it looked like I was going to get into trouble in a fight against any critters, they would run up, pop a few shots at what I was fighting and back away. They actually protected me. So yeah, never really ran into the griefer issue with this game. I have in many others, but not here. :)

Using full plate as a tank is a good way to commit suicide in pvp. 1 hit magic att KO.
