Prestige and Ascension
ARVEE has multiple progression layers. Prestige lets you begin another leveling cycle while keeping defined long-term progress. Ascension is a larger reset that opens realm-related advancement. Neither should be confirmed without reading the preview.
Prestige
Run /prestige to see whether you qualify, what you will receive, what will reset, and what you will keep. The process uses a confirmation screen; pressing Cancel leaves your character unchanged.
According to the supplied gameplay guide, ordinary Prestige generally resets:
- Level and character XP.
- Carried Gold.
- Ordinary carried gear/items that are not in a protected category.
It generally preserves bank assets, Prestige Essence, skill progress, titles, achievements, eligible protected items, world victory records, and previously claimed journey rewards. Gear can be replaced by starter items if a slot is emptied. Always follow the current on-screen preview for the exact rules.
Why Prestige?
Prestige unlocks another progression cycle and longer-term rewards. Spend Prestige Essence through /prestige_shop and the Legacy skill tree (/skill tree → Legacy). Received lootboxes can be opened through /inventory lootbox.
Auto Prestige
Eligible Vanguard, Paragon, and Prime members can enable Auto Prestige under /settings → Membership. It is off by default. The account still needs to meet normal eligibility conditions, and ongoing combat, raids, duels, minigames, maintenance, or unclaimed Autofight rewards can block the automatic reset. If a qualifying membership expires, the saved preference is paused until eligibility returns.
Ascension
Use /ascension once you reach the relevant late-game requirement. In the supplied configuration, the first Ascension requires 10 Prestiges, with later requirements increasing. Ascension is significantly more destructive than Prestige: it can reset carried gear, banked collections, normal skills, Gold, world victories, and crafting progress while keeping specified protected assets and realm-related state.
Ascension introduces realm progression and long-term Aether upgrades. Before confirming, inspect all categories shown in the current game preview, especially bank holdings and equipment.
Before you confirm any reset
- Finish active fights, raids, minigames, duels, and other pending activities.
- Claim expedition rewards and other rewards that must be claimed manually.
- Read the keep/reset breakdown rather than assuming a past update's rules still apply.
- Confirm you are on your live profile, not a tester sandbox.
- Proceed only when you are satisfied with the trade-off.
