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, or in Myrist, the Great Library.

  • 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.
The Apprentice Version of Ascension spells is given when you initially choose an Ascension class, and when you gain a new level in an Ascension.

Upgrades of Ascension spells can be crafted or researched. The following tradeskill classes can craft Ascension spells:

Kunark Ascending Recipe books can be purchased from Scribbleclaw in Obulus Frontier at ( 77, -165, -722 ) Copy in Twark

Chaos Descending Recipe books

  • "Normal Books" can be purchased from Recipe Book Merchants
  • "Advanced Books"

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.
