Skyforge is a new online game in the MMORPG genre from Russian developers, which is in no way inferior to even the most famous projects of Western developers. The product was already balanced even in the alpha version, and a huge number of unusual game solutions and innovations will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the world of the Skyforge game and enjoy the process of exploring endless locations and mass extermination of creatures to the fullest. In the Skyforge knowledge base you can find useful information about the passage, as well as tips for the game.

Skyforge walkthrough

Gradually immersing the player in the world of Aelion, players watch small video clips and also get involved in training bets, but it is quite difficult to say that this is a full-fledged plot, because the clips are extremely short, and between them there is a huge amount of grinding. Although for those people who are not at all accustomed to looking for any meaningful ideas in the plot, and play for the sake of the process, this point should not worry.

The only option to earn the sparks needed to develop your character is to complete a variety of tasks called "mortal calls". To do this, you need to come to the Information Center, where a whole planet will open to us, full of various marks. All these marks represent a variety of instances that can be completed cooperatively or solo, PvP battles, as well as large open areas. Over time, special events will also appear, the reward for completing which is especially valuable.

The list of tasks changes every 40 minutes, so if the globe has not provided the currency you need at the moment, you can just wait a little and get a more current offer. Over time, the game turns into a real grind simulator, because we constantly move from one dungeon to another, choosing only what we need to do - kill some big boss or simply clear the location from hordes of mobs.

The amount of value that may be required to advance in various aspects is quite large. In addition to ordinary credits and special sparks, you have to accumulate all kinds of celestial threads, emblems of adepts, equipment for followers, as well as a huge number of other elements. Moreover, you need to understand that all this not only takes up precious backpack space, but, among other things, also has a limit on accumulation per week.

Of course, reaching the maximum weekly mark is not so easy - you need to try quite hard, but in fact, for those who are willing to spend a large amount of time on developing their character, they will very quickly feel that the game offers them an endless grind - to work hard for several days in order to and then simply wait for all limits to be reset.

Thus, we can say that Skyforge is not a full-fledged MMORPG in the form in which everyone is used to seeing them, the game is more like a cooperative session RPG. The entire gameplay comes down to completing various monotonous tasks, which, in combination with the limits, clearly distinguishes the game from the majority as a simple project for those who want to relax a little after work, but not for those who play a lot and for a long time.

1. At the beginning of the game, only the class atlas is available. Development in it is quite simple, but already at this stage we recommend that you note that the peaks require different amounts of resources. For example, you can invest 50 sparks of creation, or you can invest 150. Look for optimal development strategies.
2. Need some skill? Download green and red tops. Also note that each type of vertex in the atlas affects some parameters of your character. The description will tell you exactly which parameters will change.
3. Almost any new atlas peak that is discovered adds prestige to you. Have a lot of sparks of the same type accumulated? See if they should be distributed somewhere.
4. Replicators allow you to earn more sparks of insight necessary for character development. This way you can achieve your goal faster.

Amplifiers in Skyforge

They become available after completing the Port of Naori adventure. They allow you to make your character even stronger (and, of course, increase his prestige).

Amplifiers are developed in two ways: with the help of enhancement stones of various ranks and with the help of mastery particles. In the first case, you need to get stones (for example, when dismantling any unnecessary pieces of equipment or on the trading floor) and invest them in the amplifier. This costs credits, but gives a significant increase to the character's characteristics.

Stones cannot be deposited endlessly; after a few steps, the green bar at the top will fill: you need to increase the rank of the amplifier. This is done using particles of mastery. As your rank increases, your character's characteristics will also increase. Mastery Pieces are obtained through adventures. The better the outcome of the adventure (especially good S or A) - the more of these particles you will receive at the end. Mastery particles are only spent on improving amplifiers - they can be safely used as soon as you have accumulated a sufficient amount.

Amplifiers are a way to quickly improve your character and increase his prestige. This costs credits, but the first steps are quite cheap and significantly improve the character's stats.

Bernard Werber. Breath of the Gods

For some reason people always think that we need to strive for love. This is completely wrong, you need to strive for the light. Love is subjective, it can turn into its own opposite and become hatred, misunderstanding, jealousy, chauvinism. And light is something that never changes.

Jules Verne

Yesterday, the developers of the online game Skyforge announced the start of a large-scale confrontation between pantheons. I was surprised because this is the first opportunity for player communities to prove their superiority and make their name known throughout the server. The winners will receive a large cash prize fund and a unique chance to determine the fate of the entire Skyforge world. The editors of iGuides, together with Allods Team and Mail.ru Games, decided to hold a competition in which we will give away 30 electronic keys for premium accounts for a month and two unique sets: “Guardians of the Wasteland” and “The Witching Hour”. How to get these goodies, read at the end of the guide.

The confrontation between the pantheons will take place over seasons. The first season starts on November 11 and will last three months. Players can expect rated PvP battles, PvE battles with monsters, raids on foreign lands, defense of their territories and much more. Every month, as part of the season, large-scale territorial wars will take place - battles of pantheons. We could see something similar in World of Tanks or the unofficial remade Lineage II client - Battles for Glory.

The starting prize fund from the developers is 500,000 rubles, but players can increase it through the accumulative portion received from the sale of special items in the game. The final amount of the cash prize is distributed at the end of the season among the top 3 strongest pantheons. A detailed system for dividing the “boot” will be announced by the developers later. Also, the absolute winner will have a direct impact on the game: he will be able to change the future of Aelion forever and will choose which forces will influence all players on the server after the end of the tournament.

All pantheons, without exception, will be able to take part in the confrontation: newly created unions have every chance to catch up with the “veterans” and enter the fight on equal terms. All classes will be needed, and players who prefer different play styles: fans of PvP and PvE, those who like to play alone. Each of them will be able to make a feasible contribution to the common cause and help the pantheon achieve victory.

But not everyone understands how to quickly level up a character in order to be on par with semi-mythical heroes. In this article I will tell you about the fastest ways to level up in the game Skyforge. Together with them, you will be able to quickly become equal to those who have already taken their place under the divine sun.

The Skyforge game has one server and you will control only one character. You can change his appearance, gender, name (not always free) and class, but you won’t be able to change the server.

Which class should I choose at the beginning?

At the very beginning, the player is given a choice of three classes. The fastest way for me to gain experience was for Cryomancer. He can almost instantly destroy entire packs of monsters, and whoever he doesn’t kill immediately, he will completely freeze to the ground. Keeper of Light will allow you to quickly find a group, and Paladin is suitable for those who like to fight at the forefront of the attack. However, it is the Cryomancer who combines convenience and speed of gaining experience.

Where is my level and what should I spend my development sparks on?!

There is no traditional concept of level in Skyforge. It is replaced by Prestige points - a kind of analogue of the Gear Score system, which the creators of World of Warcraft modifications tried to unofficially introduce. Later it was reflected in the indicator of the average level of subjects.

Prestige can be influenced by three main indicators: atlas development, equipment and cult. At a certain stage, the cult will require more time, equipment will be more difficult to obtain as you progress, and it will be easier to develop the atlas during raids in adventures and open locations. All three paths have an equal impact on Prestige points.

Sparks are a special currency required to develop your character. Sparks of creation (responsible for stamina/health), destruction (increase attack indicators) and balance (raise the limits of attack modifiers) you receive for completing tasks in open areas and in adventures. Sparks will be needed up to a certain stage to level up your class. After a few hours of play, you will reach the point where class upgrades will only be available through special class sparks. They will appear from killed monsters.

It is worth using Sparks in the atlas. There are three levels of the atlas: Class, Character and God. They open sequentially.

To quickly use more powerful items, distribute green tops (pumped up using cores received for additional tasks). If you want to develop the cult as much as possible and increase the percentage of critical strike probability, the overall health indicator in %, or increase the accuracy of the hero - buy all available blue tops with a power indicator.

When you fully upgrade the atlas of one class, when you play with it you will receive a currency that is universal for the development of any class (if you have a premium account).

There are several points that you must follow in order to level up as quickly as possible:

1. I advise you to choose the classes that groups need most at a high level of Prestige (for example, Bogatyr or Kineticist);

2. Without fail, I attended all adventures where a triple reward was offered (they are designated as x3);

3. As soon as the “triple” adventures end, it is worth going through all the “double” ones (x2);

4. I advise you to complete all additional tasks of the Argus system. They give you cores, which are spent on pumping up peaks that quickly increase Prestige;

5. Activate development spark replicators at moments when you should receive a lot of necessary currency (for example, at the end of an adventure);

6. I advise you to pay for a premium account at least once. For the first payment exceeding 100 rubles, the developers will give you an endless mount that speeds up your character by 60%. It's up to you;

7. Use the “catch up with God” system wisely.

How does the “catch up with God” system work?

Someone came to the game not from the first days of its open beta test, having encountered a problem where it was difficult to catch up with a friend who was devoting time to the game. If you log into Skyforge once every week or two, then the problem is the same.

To make the game more comfortable for you, the developers have introduced a “catch up with God” mechanic. I like it the most, since I rarely play due to work, but I log in several times a day to send followers of my cult on missions.

If you started playing Skyforge in November or late October, then with this system it will only take you about two months to catch up with those who signed up during Early Access. Those who haven't played for a long time will have the opportunity to catch up on progress using spark replicators.

Also, those who have not logged in for a long time receive increased limits of mastery particles, sparks of insight and class sparks by completing weekly promotional adventures (those that are x3). They will appear on the globe for those who have reached 1357 prestige. After 36087 prestige, promotional adventures will appear that provide additional limits on tactical sense (a special resource required to gain Prestige even faster).

This is important: to get different types of limits, you will need to complete different promotional adventures.

The gradation is simple: the further behind you are, the faster the Prestige gain occurs. At the same time, the limit of class sparks will increase evenly - each time by 1890. Thus, in the first three weeks the player will be able to receive 3000, 7000 and 10000 additional colored sparks, respectively. After this, several weeks are given for acceleration (20,000, 40,000, and so on), and then the finish line, when the increase in the limit decreases. The gap of the last weeks will take the longest to catch up with, but this small gap will not stop you from playing with friends and joining the top pantheons.

To prepare new players and inform veterans that it’s time to come back if you haven’t logged in for a while, we decided, together with the Allods Team, to give you valuable prizes that will help you gain Prestige twice as fast!

Finding myself in this position, I decided to compile a small guide for comparative oldies of the game who suddenly became newcomers with the advent of the New Era.

What is the New Era? Essentially, this is, in a sense, a restart of the game, in which many aspects regarding character leveling have been simplified. The number of various resources has been reduced and the leveling of the Cult has been simplified. A few more changes below.

Provinces

Provinces are a map of localities, which is essentially the same general Atlas. This is where you unlock new classes and characters. Provinces on the map are 9 huge locations that contain certain Temples with classes and Bastions.

Provinces of Sryforge:

• New Satria
• Panthean Highlands
• Linos
• Artemiyskie Mountains
• Glyceria
• Tisiphone
• Bellonia
• Philomena
• Great dunes of Tacitus

Accordingly, the first province is New Satria and there are three temples of initial classes - Paladin, Creomant, Guardian of Light. Now, to download the desired class, you simply go to its Temple, click receive a task and complete it, or rather THEIR.

In addition to Class Temples, there are Bastions on the map. These are 8 buildings in which you can receive symbols. Different bastions have different symbols, and you visit them depending on your class. A detailed description of the bastions and symbols is on the game website.

Equipment

The character has at his disposal one Primary weapon (the additional one has been removed), an Artifact, a Ring, an Amulet, a Brooch, a Bracelet and 4 Power Stones. Each item gives certain stats that increase damage and health. Weapons and Artifacts provide different buffs that are most relevant to the chosen class.

Cult

The cult was simplified as much as possible. Now the cult is your adherents whom you send on journeys. During their travels, adepts spend a reserve of strength, but they bring you Faith, Credits, Relics that increase their characteristics, as well as new adepts. There should only be 8 adepts. It is not prohibited to have more, but with more than 8, your faith profit will be reduced by 50%. Therefore, extra adherents need to be sent as missionaries. For this you will also receive faith. A small bonus to the wanderings of adepts is the Diary of Wanderings. Each adept leads it, briefly describing his misadventures; sometimes there are funny descriptions.

Capital (buildings and tabs)

Changes in the capital of Aelion are primarily associated with the appearance of various buildings, as well as changes to the previous existing location tabs.

Trophy Hall- contains all the Promotions that were in the game.

Tower of Knowledge- all vectors, influence, temple ranks, sacred texts and etheric cores (this SF past is concentrated here). Instead of the above resources, you now farm one - Knowledge of the enemy. By donating this resource to the Tower of Knowledge, you increase your power.

Cathedral contains equipment enhancers that can be upgraded for credits.

Temple of Deeds contains divine specializations. Specializations are upgraded while you use your divine form.

Altar- This is a substitute for the Hall of Greatness. Here you pick up offerings every day (now you don’t have to run anywhere!). And now they give loans or argents.

Flavius ​​Laboratory- contains all your trophies and Invasion Atlases. Here you can take tasks to level up your Knowledge about opponents of different races.

Distortion- here you select dungeons related to the current invasion and farm the best equipment in the game.

Elion- here you will find our good old globe - a map of the entire Aelion:

• Decrees - here you can take tasks and receive resources for the pantheon, credits and argents.
• Invasions - Invasion dungeons here. Invasions have now and forever been extended to 8 weeks and allow you to farm all the necessary elite equipment.
• Equipment - dungeon for farming equipment.
• Battles - PVP arenas.
• World - neutral buildings and links

Here's a summary of what you need to know if you played Skyforge before New Era and now log into the game and don't understand what's going on.

We talked about this game earlier, but for those who forgot, let’s repeat it! In Skyforge, you become the immortal defender of the planet Aelion as it faces hordes of enemy armies hoping to enslave its inhabitants. They will tell you why they need this as the game progresses, and we will pay attention to how to resist these invaders! Your first and main task is to become a god. This is quite simple to do: you need to go through the game campaign, simultaneously opening access to new instances, defeating hordes of enemies and thus increasing your own power! By the way, there are 11 classes in Skyforge (and 3 more will be added soon!), and you can switch between them at any time.

The general launch of Skyforge is scheduled for April 11, but those interested can get into the game now by purchasing one of three early access sets. In addition to the opportunity to start playing, they include in-game currencies, a premium subscription, and instant access to classes that would otherwise be delayed.

Questions and answers

Is it possible to transfer a character from PC to PS4 version of the game?
No, the console version will have a separate server where the game will start from the very first invasion season!

Will there be a separate server for the Russian-speaking audience?
No, the PS4 server will be the same for the entire European region.

Will I need an active PlayStation Plus subscription to play Skyforge after general launch (April 11th)?
No, everyone can enter the game without restrictions, and special bonuses await PlayStation Plus subscribers!

If you're one of the lucky ones who decided to try out Skyforge early, here are some tips on how to master the game as quickly as possible!

At first glance, this is rather prosaic advice, nothing unusual. But the better you understand what and how it works, the faster you will learn to play well. Go through training tasks thoughtfully, pay attention to messages from story characters and hints on the side of the screen.

By the way, if you are going to play with friends, keep in mind that the opportunity to join a group opens only after completing the basic training (completing the “Dunkit Island” adventure).

Campaign quests will take you through Link-type adventures designed to be completed alone, but don't let your journey through Aelion stop there. On the map of each province there is one or more localities - huge locations where a lot of tasks and, of course, rewards await the immortal. Completing all quests in each zone will provide you with an impressive income! And it’s also very beautiful there!

After completing the first adventures, you will have access to the “Capital” screen, on which, among other things, there are 2 important buildings - the cathedral and the tower of knowledge. Both of these buildings provide the immortal with power. The better they are developed, the stronger your character.

The power received from the cathedral is provided to you by your followers. To attract more followers, you will have to spend credits (game currency) to decorate the cathedral. This building will become available as soon as you defeat the monsters on Okki Island.

The Tower of Knowledge is a research center where you give the second important game currency - knowledge about the enemy. Each contribution increases the character's power, because now he has more information on how to fight enemies. This building becomes available after completing Factory 501.

Buy upgrades as soon as you have enough money, because the more power you have, the better equipment the monsters can drop. And good equipment means high prestige!

No matter how effective the cathedral and the tower of knowledge are, the most favorite source of development for immortals is bastions. Want to know why? Firstly, there are many of them, and secondly, in addition to power, you can get a lot of additional opportunities here. Passive talents will strengthen the character, and active symbols will give new abilities. For example, the very first symbol of the Satria bastion significantly affects the combat system. Here is his description:

Targets you attack have a 50% chance to spawn Emblems of Pain. Picking them up will give you an Emblem of Pain charge, allowing you to use an ability that deals high damage to the enemy.

But if in-game currencies are needed to develop previous buildings, then with bastions it’s not so simple! Once a day you will receive a “Request for Help”, which can be spent by taking tasks in one of the bastions. Complete tasks and you will not only increase your character’s power, but also increase your progress in obtaining the next symbol or passive talent.

It is important to note that the “requests for help” required to improve the bastions do not accumulate more than 7 pieces, so be sure to spend them all at least once a week!

In addition to the beautiful world, Skyforge has extremely interesting storylines. Their passage does not depend on the main game. You can take up the plot immediately after learning, or you can develop to extraordinary heights without learning anything about it. The stories tell what is happening on the planet, what the elder gods really are and why you are Aelion’s main hope.

We hope these tips are helpful to aspiring immortals on their path to godhood. Soon the first of you will complete the campaign and become minor gods to devote yourselves to the fight against invasions. Great achievements and battles await them... But we'll tell you about that next time! In the meantime, good luck in the vastness of Aelion!

We invite you to find out how your character's equipment will change in the New Era. Despite the fact that the interface has not undergone major changes, the mechanics of interaction will be simplified. The main idea of ​​the new approach to equipment was the slogan “More gameplay, less additional resources and manipulations in the bag!”

How will this be achieved? Let's figure it out. So, firstly, the number of equipment items will decrease. The new equipment will consist of 10 main items instead of 16. It includes: 1 slot for weapons, 1 for an artifact, 4 for jewelry and 4 for power stones. In addition, there will be cells for used items. Secondly, equipment will no longer directly affect the character’s characteristics; it will be responsible for a variety of additional effects that strengthen the character and increase his effectiveness. As a result, most of the equipment is equally relevant for all classes.

Whether you can use an item or not is determined by your power.

Weapon

The only item of equipment that depends on the chosen class will be the character's weapon. Jewelry and artifact are, in the vast majority of cases, equally useful for everyone. The situation in which, when you get a new class, you have to play a character who has neither additional weapons nor suitable amulets, and therefore is significantly less effective, is now excluded. The character's weapons have three main types, unique for each class.

Weapon bonuses

Jewels and Power Stones

Instead of amulets and rings, the character will have jewelry (in 4 cells) and power stones (in 4 cells), and each cell will give 1 special effect. Characters will not be able to use the same jewelry or stones.

Jewels and Power Stones are great for any class and do not require replacement when switching character roles. Each item will provide 2 of 4 possible bonuses: increased damage, health, critical and impulse damage. The number of bonuses a character receives depends on their quality and rarity.

Please note that bonuses from specific equipment no longer provide a fixed increase to certain characteristics. Two seemingly identical jewels may provide a different bonus multiplier or percentage within certain limits.

Artifact

The artifact is one of the many innovations that appeared in the game after the update. This is a unique item that replaces an additional weapon. Thanks to it, you can significantly increase the effectiveness of the character: for example, increase the damage received by the enemy if his health has fallen below 30%, or increase the damage to the target if you yourself have not received damage.

Equipment extraction

All the necessary equipment can be obtained as trophies for defeating monsters. You will get the highest quality equipment in raid battles and in distortions. As your character's power grows, you will be able to wear high-generation equipment that provides more tangible bonuses.

The maximum effectiveness of the equipment will be limited to the current invasion season. Each season will have its own equipment generation. For example, the current equipment of the most powerful characters is now 4th generation, and after the attack of the Oceanids in the “New Era”, the best equipment will be from the 5th generation.

In all adventures you will find two difficulty levels:

• A fixed difficulty adventure based on the current Invasion Season. Here you can get rare and epic equipment of the latest generation.
• An adventure with character-adjustable difficulty, where you can only get equipment from previous generations.

By killing bosses in adventures, you can get items of equipment, but the number of such kills is limited. Every day a character is given one opportunity to obtain equipment from the boss, but such opportunities cannot accumulate more than 5. The limitation applies to each boss individually. For example, if today you received equipment from Lorro the Cold, this will in no way prevent you from getting another item by defeating Alcyone and Melia. Thus, you can receive one item from the boss every day, or accumulate attempts and complete the adventure 5 times in a row at once.

Upgrading equipment

The equipment upgrade system has undergone a significant overhaul. Equipment boosters, which previously affected the stats a character received from specific items, are a thing of the past. Their progress is converted into the development level of the cathedral - a special building that you will find in the capital interface.

The main difference of the new system is that now the bonus directly affects the main characteristic - the power of your character, and not the items he uses.

The level of the cathedral can be increased by equipping the interior and exterior of the building for credits. By improving the cathedral, you increase the character's power, and along with it, the damage and number of health points increase.

Players who have already upgraded their equipment amplifiers will have their Cathedral level calculated based on the number of credits and enhancement stones that were spent on leveling up all three amplifiers before the update.

Special equipment amplifiers will disappear from the game, but all owners of such effects will receive an improvement for the cathedral, increasing the increase in the character's power.

Character equipment no longer has trophy slots. They will disappear from the game. After the update, their role will be performed by Flavius’s laboratory, which you will find in the capital interface.

What happens to characters' equipment and bags after the update?

• Weapon. Each character will receive at his disposal one weapon for each of the open classes if the character has at least one class weapon in his hands or bag before the update. Everyone will get the best possible options. For example, if there was a weapon of epic rarity in the bag that did not match the dexterity indicator, then after the update this weapon will be in the hands of the character. Lower quality weapons will disappear from the bag and will be compensated with credits.
• Rings and amulets. The transfer of jewelry will happen in a similar way. The best-performing amulets and rings of the highest rarity will be converted into new jewelry, and the remaining rings and amulets will be compensated with credits.
• Artifacts. Each player will receive a set of five artifacts. Their rarity and quality will depend on the rarity and quality of the additional weapon.
• Legendary rings and vibes. Instead of one of the legendary rings, the player will receive three legendary artifacts. The remaining rings and vibes will be converted into credits.
• Trophies. The quantity and quality of trophies in the bag will affect the level of research in Flavius's laboratory.
• The tactical sense booster will disappear from the game. It will be compensated with credits depending on its level.
• Tactical sense replicators, in turn, will be compensated with winner's medals.
• Backpacks with random items received in adventures will also be compensated with credits.

Where to go for the best gear after the update?

To get the latest equipment after installing the New Era, you should go to the interface of the current invasion. There will be a list of adventures where you can currently get the best quality equipment. Check back there often!

This material is dedicated to content currently under development. By the time the update is installed on the production server, there may be minor changes.

The redesigned equipment system will allow you to focus on the gameplay without being distracted by changing equipment. In addition, it will make switching classes even easier and more convenient, independent of rings and amulets, and characters will be equally effective against any invading army!
