=== Changing the Ascension classes ===
−
When you speak to them the first time you will unlock the Ascension class. ''To change your Ascension class, talk to them again.''
  
  ⚫
Changing Ascension Classes is as simple as going to the appropriate Ascension master and picking up the class. All of the progress made on your current Ascension class is saved, and you will pick up right where you left off when you return to that class. Any Ascension abilities you have earned will remain in the Ascension tab in your spell book, though you will not be able to access those abilities until you return to the matching Ascension class.

The trainers in [[Obulus Frontier]] can't raise your level beyond 10, but the new trainer [[Sunspear]] will. She can be found in the [[Coliseum of Valor]]. [[Sunspear]] can change your ascension class or increase your level, but does not give out [[Guided Ascension]] scrolls.

You can also use a [[Celestial Ascension]] scroll to instantly increase any ascension class by 1 level at any time without visiting a trainer. They are awarded from completing quests for the 3 factions in the [[Plane of Magic]].
  
  ⚫
All 26 Adventure Classes can obtain all 4 Ascension classes, once they are level 100.
−  
−
The [[Planes of Prophecy Overloaded Ascension Potion]] can also be used to level ascension classes. Using the potion increases your current [[Guided Ascension]] points to the cap (currently 21 million) and keeps it there for the 30 minute duration. Your level will go up automatically while it is running as you earn the required experience; no need to visit a trainer. When the potion expires your [[Guided Ascension]] experience will be full at 21 million and will start to decrease normally from that point as you earn experience. These potions are claimable if you own the Premium or Collector's Edition of the expansion.

Ascension leveling happens automatically as you complete quests, missions or public quests. You will be able to gain Ascension XP once you have unlocked an Ascension class by speaking to one of the Ascension trainers in [[Obulus Frontier]], the [[Coliseum of Valor]], [[Myrist, the Great Library]]or in [[The Blinding]].

Leveling Overview:
  
−
*From level 0 up to 10
  
−
**you need kill monsters or finish quests to convert "Guided Ascension XP" into actual "Ascension XP". Once you got all XP you need for the level, you have to talk to a master to actually level up.
  
−
*From level 10 to 15
  
−
**you need to use [[Celestial Ascension]] which is rewarded by several quests. That item levels you up by 1 ascension level.
  
−
**There is no point is using items that give you "Guided Ascension XP" nor to convert it into "Ascension XP", because there is no NPC that levels you past level 10
  
   
  +
*Quests of [[Kunark Ascending]] like in [[Obulus Frontier]] only give XP up to Ascension level 10 {{info|is the may level correct?}}

''Note:The leveling of Ascension XP changed with [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/update-notes-tuesday-december-6-2016.574687/ the update of December 6, 2016]'' and with the release of [https://forums.daybreakgames.com/eq2/index.php?threads/update-notes-tuesday-november-28-2017-planes-of-prophecy.582350/ Planes of Prophecy]
  
  +
*Quests of [[Chaos Descending]] like in [[Myrist, the Great Library]] give XP up to Ascension level 20
   
−
Ascension XP can only be gained when you have Guided Ascension XP left to gain. You gain some Guided Ascension XP every hour or when you use a scroll ''([[Guided Ascension]])''. To earn Ascension XP from Guided Ascension XP you can either kill monsters or finish quests.
 +
*You can also use a [[Celestial Ascension (15)|Celestial Ascension [15]]] scroll to instantly increase any ascension class by 1 level ''(or more)'' at any time ''(Ascension level 15 max)''. They are awarded from completing quests for the 3 factions in the [[Plane of Magic]].
−  
−
You will be able to gain Ascension XP once you unlocked an Ascension class by speaking to one of the masters.
  
−
*You gain available ascension experience similar to how vitality is gained, about 20.000 per hour online or offline.
  
−
**''20.000 per hour * 24 hours = 480.000 XP as base {{info|+20% as member is 576.000 XP .. is that correct?}}''
  
−
*Additionally, you can acquire [[Guided Ascension]] that further increase that amount instantly.
  
−
*the maximum of Guided Ascension XP is 21,000,000.
  
−
*Members get a 20% bonus to all guided ascension experience earned
  
−
*the [[Guild Buff]] for level 200+ guilds grants a 10% bonus
  
−
*you get a 100% bonus for each ascension class of level 10.
  
−
*''Note:You can get only 1 scroll a day, does not matter if you switch Ascension form or used the scroll before you talk to a other Master''
  
−
*Guided ascension scrolls only stack to 50
  
−  
−
When you use a [[Guided Ascension]] it will add 500,000 (or 600,000 if member) of Guided Ascension experience. You can use as many scrolls as you like, just keep in mind that the maximum of Guided Ascension XP is 21,000,000. The Ascension masters will only grant you a single [[Guided Ascension|guidance scroll]] every 18 hours, after you picked up the last one, but these scrolls may be collected and studied at your convenience. The most efficient path is to level only 1 Ascension class to 10 before you level another one.<BR><BR>
  
−
The half the time of leveling of Ascension classes once a class reaches level 10 works as follows:
  
−
*Once you reached level 10 on one Ascension class
  
−
**a scroll will give you 1,100,000 (the double amount) of Guided Ascension experience
  
−
**the hourly gained Ascension XP get's doubled to 40k/hour => 960k per day * 7 days = 6,720,000
  
−
**the Cap of 7.000.000 Guided Ascension XP remains
  
−
*Once you reached level 10 on two Ascension classes
  
−
**a scroll will give you 1,600,000 (the tripple amount) of Guided Ascension experience
  
−
**the hourly gained Ascension XP get's doubled to 80k/hour => 1,920k per day * 4 days = 7,680,000 (Over the 7mil cap by 680k)
  
−
**the Cap of 7.000.000 Guided Ascension XP remains
  
−
*Once you reached level 10 on three Ascension classes
  
−
**a scroll will give you 2,100,000 (the quad amount) of Guided Ascension experience
  
−
**the hourly gained Ascension XP get's doubled to 160k/hour => 3,840k per day * 2 days = 7,680,000 (Over the 7mil cap by 680k)

====Weekly Ascension Mission====
  
−
A new Kunark Ascending weekly mission is now available that rewards at least 5 Ascension Scrolls!
  
−
*Speak with [[Katorz]] in [[Obulus Frontier]] within Crusaders' Cave and accept any of his available weekly missions and the Ascension weekly mission, "[[For More Than a Bit of Coin]]" will be automatically added to your quest journal if your character has unlocked an Ascension level.

−
##Level 9 to 10: 1.75 million XP needed to a 97.2 million XP total - ''12 scrolls/days total from 1 to 10''
  
−  
−
The numbers given means you need at least 90 days from 1 to 10 for the first ascension class, if you pickup a scroll every day.<BR>
  
−
to get all 4 classes you need to spend 90 + 44 + 23 + 12 =170 days minimum

===Leveling from 10 to 15===
  
−
[[Sunspear]] the Ascension Trainer at {{loc|164.50|0.00|-59.27}} in the [[Coliseum of Valor]] allows you to change your Ascension class, and can also be used to level your Ascension classes prior to level 10 or after.If you are working on the expansion for the first time (cannot access Sunspear yet), you can still use the old Ascension masters to level up from 10-11, etc... or to switch to a different class. <br><br>
  
−
To level up past level 10 in the [[Planes of Prophecy]] you may use:
  
−
*[[Celestial Ascension]] which is rewarded by certain quests in the [[Planes of Prophecy Timeline|Planes of Prophecy Signature timeline]] and the [[Plane of Magic]] faction timelines
  
−
*[[Tears of Ascension]] which may be purchased from the Nye'Caelona Vendor and was previously useful for only for alts. It refills your Guided Ascension to the maximum of 21 million.
  
−
*[[Planes of Prophecy Overloaded Ascension Potion]] which is part of the Premium version of the Expansion Package. It performs both of the above, and keeps your Guided Asc at max for 30 minutes.
  
−  
−
Each Faction of the 3 Factions in [[Plane of Magic]] gives 3 Celestial Ascension scrolls.<br><br>
  
−
That means:
  
−
*you don't have to burn through the old scrolls to reach the next Ascension level.
  
−
*you just need to use 1 [[Celestial Ascension]] (CA) to level from 10 to 11 or 11 to 12 and so on.
  
−
**''When consumed this potion increases the active Ascension class of the caster by 1 to a maximum of 15.''
  
−
*You don't need to wait until your experience bar is full, you can level before it is full.
  
−
*If you run out of CA while working on the first faction, do NOT switch, the factions are mutually exclusive and the achievement for completing them all is easier to achieve if you do them each in turn. Instead, go to Nye'Caelona and buy a Tear of Ascension.

Obtaining/Changing the Ascension classes

Kunark Ascending

To unlock an Ascension class you need to have completed Kunark Ascending: A Nightmare Realized or use the The Essential Kunark Guide to be able to speak to the following Ascension masters:

Changing the Ascension classes

Changing Ascension Classes is as simple as going to the appropriate Ascension master and picking up the class. All of the progress made on your current Ascension class is saved, and you will pick up right where you left off when you return to that class. Any Ascension abilities you have earned will remain in the Ascension tab in your spell book, though you will not be able to access those abilities until you return to the matching Ascension class.

The 4 Ascension classes

All 26 Adventure Classes can obtain all 4 Ascension classes, once they are level 100.

Ascension classes are the apotheosis of a facet of energy, and are the gateway to ascended power.

  • Elementalist: Wielders of the opposing forces of fire and ice, Elementalists have the power to rain down destruction or degrade the defenses of an opponent. Initiates of this class convert ability damage to cold.
  • Etherealist: Masters of arcane and planar energies. Etherealists deal with the manipulation of ambient or latent magical power. Etherealists convert ability damage to magic.
  • Geomancer: Sometimes the most effective form of persuasion is the application of brute power. Geomancers are able to bring literally staggering force down on an opponent. These juggernauts convert ability damage into crushing.
  • Thaumaturgist: Most things have some form of life energy, and Thaumaturgists are able to manipulate and control that energy, twisting or bolstering it to meet their needs. Blood Mages convert ability damage to disease.

Leveling

Ascension leveling happens automatically as you complete quests, missions or public quests. You will be able to gain Ascension XP once you have unlocked an Ascension class by speaking to one of the Ascension trainers in Obulus Frontier, the Coliseum of Valor, Myrist, the Great Libraryor in The Blinding.

  • You can also use a Celestial Ascension [15] scroll to instantly increase any ascension class by 1 level (or more) at any time (Ascension level 15 max). They are awarded from completing quests for the 3 factions in the Plane of Magic.

Ascension Synergies (Combos)

Every Ascension ability has a synergy Ascension ability of another class. If both of these abilities are applied within a short duration to the same target, an extra effect will be applied based off of the ability that finished the combo.
For more information please see Ascension Combos

Ascension Spells

The Ascension Spells are in the "Ascension" Tab of the Knowledge book.

Ascension Forms

Each Ascension class grants the character the ability to shift into an avatar of that Ascension, converting all damage done from any ability that does not deal damage based on your weapon's damage type. This conversion will also convert most pet and dumbfire pet damage.

  • If a Combat Art says it deals Melee Damage then it is affected by your weapon damage and will not change its damage type while in Ascension form.

The Ability is found on the "Ascension" tab in your Knowledge book.

Ascension Spell Tiers

Scribing an ascension spell will require you to possess the previous tier of knowledge! For example to scribe an "Adept" you will need to already possess the "Journeyman" spell knowledge. All but Apprentice and Celestial tiers of ascension spells can be learned via research.
The crafting of spells changed with Chaos Descending: Scroll crafting requires Planar Energy as fuel, crafted scrolls may be available on the broker.
You can get to the next spell tier only if you got the previous one, the order of tiers is the following:

  1. Apprentice: Automatically awarded when you first take an Ascension or gain enough Ascension XP to achieve the next level.
  2. Journeyman: Crafted with common raws or researched.
  3. Adept: Crafted with a illegible scroll or researched and ONLY by a Sage
  4. Expert: Crafted with 2 Casiun Root or researched.
  5. Master: Crafted with a Master scroll or researched.
  6. Grandmaster: Crafted with a Celestial Foundation or Celestial Spellshard or researched.
  7. Ancient: Crafted with a Ancient scroll or researched.
  8. Celestial: Crafted

The crafting requirements listed above are based on the Chaos Descending recipe books

Adornments

There are some "special" Adorns out there that can benefit Ascension classes:

At the completion of the Time Is Short subquest for the Kunark Ascending Crafting Timeline, the crafter will receive two purple adornment recipes. One of these recipes will be only craftable by their crafting class, the other is a recipe that is shared with their entire subclass (Craftsman, Outfitter, Scholar).

The recipes need to be crafted on the Forge of Brell (or the house item version of it), and requires

  • a Blank Luclinite Rune
  • 3 thalumbral root
  • 3 umbrite
  • 3 bornite nodule
  • 5 fuel (Thaumic Coal or thaumic incense and so on)

The runes and the purple adorns are fully tradeable, and the recipe can be commissioned.
