Canny's Ascension guide
|
| Introduction |
Very often in my aisling life, I have had young masters come up to me, asking for help with ascension. So I decided to sit down and
write a guide to help those young ones. It will give advice on how to become the best you can possibly be without gaining further insights;
it will also give some practical help on ascension in general.
| Ascension
Basics |
Ok,
there you are - a master. Congrats!!! But how do you grow now?
First of all, you need to be Aisling of Talgonite ((= have crafted
your 97 armor)).
Otherwise, the gods will ignore your request.
Basically,
you can benefit from the experience gained by hunting,
as the gods will reward you with either greater health ((HP)) or mana
((MP)). The
godly gift of health is the key to make you the strongest, swiftest,
wisest,
smartest and best-conditioned aisling you can
be in the end.
choosen
path influences your health. For example, a monk usually is healthier
than a
priest. So the monk will need to work harder then
the priest to gain the same
benefits.

*As I
said, this is only to give you an idea. Of course, in most
cases your base HP will not be the lowest possible, which I took as a
basis for
this list. To figure out your personal amount of exp needed, please use
an
ascension calculator. I personally like the calculator
on da-wizard.com best,
but there are pretty good ones on dahelp.com and the-warrior.net too.))
| Preparation |
Once
you have learned enough from all your battles, it's time for
you to get hold of a Succubus’s Hair 
.
You
can either venture
deep into Mileth Crypt and shave some Succi’s yourself, or,
if you’ve got money to spend, buy hairs from other aislings. Depending
on
your
path, I’d suggest that you take a friend with you if you decide to hunt
your
own hairs - it's safer, and it's more fun for sure!
Now
it's time to head to Mileth altar and drop your succi hair
into it. King Bruce no longer protects you once you do so. All that's
left
to
do is to find a kind aisling to kill you!
damage to
your precious items.
| Ascending for
health |
Yes,
that fluttering little spirit looking so innocent is
you! Whatever innocent little you
intends to do now... DON'T talk to Sgrios!!!
In case you're tempted to try, let me tell you
it will give you nothing but a nasty scar ;p. So instead of being
silly,
flutter down to the
left till you see a pile of rocks:
At
the rocks you will find an indent, float into it. This
will take you through the pile to the
opposite side where there is another indent.
Float into the narrowest part.
There you'll find yourself in an icy area with two temples. The
left one
is the
imbue you
with greater health for the work you have accomplished.
For
now, it's the left temple you have to enter. Talk to Deoch,
tell him you stand in awe of his power and devote your life’s
experience
to
him.
for. When you're done, you can either
descend, or
stay there, worshiping in silence, which would be your choice if you
wish to
visit
Gramail’s temple too.
the
of your
choice.
my
next ascending session. It's not recommended to do that, but hey… a
little more
health feels good, doesn't it? *grins* Just don't
forget to visit Aoife before
you drop a succubus hair into the altar next time!
| Ascending
for mana |
Ascending
for mana works same way as for health. Just
that you enter the temple to the right
to talk to Gramail. Again, tell him
you stand in awe of his power and devote your life’s experience to him
to
strengthen your energy ((by 25)). Of course, you can visit
both temples
during
the same ascending session, all you have to do is to 'worship in
silence' and
flutter over to the other temple.
| The
best you can be |
Isn't this
what we all want? Being the best you can be will enable you to
concentrate on
getting healthier and gaining more mana. Oh,
of course you can keep the gods
rewards before getting there, but you’ll have to work quite a bit more
that
way. Honestly, keep your
health as low as possible until your attributes look
like this:

| Adoration
of Danaan |
Ooooh,
Adoration of Danaan! How much we all love it!
(and the reason we all love
it soooo much) is that Danaan will reward you by improving all your
attributes
((+2 to each stat)).
could get yourself in
trouble. Danaan’s kind gift might raise one of your minor attributes
((stat
maxed at 100)) to its best or any of
your attributes even above that. With
this, Aoife would refuse to help you transfering health into attributes
the
next time you go
visit her. To prevent this, you can talk to Aoife about
((Reallocating Stats)) before joining the Adoration.
to another
stat of your choice. Be careful not to max or even over-max that other
stat
while reallocating! Once your stats are
over-maxed, you can’t reallocate from
that stat anymore. I suggest to keep your “level 100”-stats at 98 or
even 95 (so
you can
reallocate to them without over-maxing them) till you’re all maxed.
Also, be careful not to over-max any of your stats with Adoration
unless all
your stats are completely maxed!))
| Last
words |
This
is the end of my little guide… I hope it will help with lots
of questions about ascension.
send me a pigeon. I’ll come back to
you as soon as I can to solve your problem *smiles*
