In a detailed Feature Guide, Trion Worlds tells us how to stand out from the crowd.

For an MMO, it's important for players to stand out; not just with how you look, but also what you do. In their latest Feature Guide, Trion Worlds and XL Games discuss the detailed system in ArcheAge that helps set you apart.

Stay Classy

Your class is determined by your choice of three Skillsets from a total pool of 10. Once you've leveled a bit, you can swap in any Skillset from the 10 and level it up however much you like. There are 120 uniquely-named combinations which change based on your selections. These Skillsets also contain "Synergies", meaning some skills from one Skillset might empower a few skills from another.

The P Word

"Proficiencies" are your crafting skills in ArcheAge. Performing a task increases your proficiency – pretty straight-forward so far! You can gain 10,000 points in all 20 Proficiencies, but you must select Specializations (up to five) to continue making progress.

• 5 (of the 20) can reach 20,000
• 4 (of the 5) can reach 30,000
• 3 (of the 4) can reach 40,000
• 2 (of the 3) can reach 50,000

Between classes and crafting, they're very interesting systems. There's a lot to take in, so consider checking out the full post with more specifics and fancy pictures.
