Ashes of Creation doesn’t use normal MMO zones. Instead, the whole world is built around nodes – invisible areas that level up when players play there, turning empty land into villages, towns, cities, and finally massive metropolises. This guide breaks down exactly how that works: how nodes gain XP, the stages from wilderness to metropolis, how lockouts and vassal nodes work, and why entire guilds and alliances will literally go to war over one city on the map.

Ashes of Creation can feel confusing when you first land in Verra – nodes, archetypes, PvP, crafting, and a world that actually changes based on what players do. This beginner-friendly guide shows you exactly what to do in your first hours: how to pick a race and archetype, which quests to follow, how your first node works, and how to gear up without wasting time or gold. Start here, and your journey through Verra will feel smooth instead of overwhelming.

Selling Ashes of Creation items is all about turning your extra loot into real value. In a game like this, where every item, weapon, and resource can play a big role in progression, there’s always a demand from players who don’t have the time to grind. If you’ve been farming hard, running dungeons, or dominating open-world events, chances are you’ve picked up more gear than you actually need. Instead of letting it sit in your stash, you can list it for sale and let other players get a boost while you earn something back.
