A handful of warriors know what it's like to bask in the effervescent glow of a fresh victory—sweat dripping from their brow, voice raw. Only the bravest ascend to such glory.

  • The Ascension has an animation that leaves a tiny blast on both hands when drawing a weapon for the first time (This can be noticed while running and drawing the weapon)
  • The same weapon drawing blast animation is replaced with a single blast animation when swapping weapons (perform at least one auto attack before swapping, for this animation to trigger)
  • Purple and orange flame particles flow from the bottom of the wings, the effect and colours of these are more pronounced when weapons are drawn.
  • There are small glowing dust particles that emanate from the wings, these are more prominent in darker places or at night.

Notes[edit]

  • The Ascension and its related back items display the same pattern as the spire structure in the inner chamber of Tarir, the Forgotten City and the Hall of Heroes.
  • The Ascension can only be made once because the Gift of the Competitor is composed of achievement rewards that are rewarded only once.
  • Multiple top stats in a ranked game contributes to the top stats achievement.
  • Winning a ranked game on a profession ticks all unlocked league tiers on that profession. This ensures progress of the latest Path of the Ascension tier when deciding to use a different profession in later tiers.
  • Upon entering a higher Path of the Ascension tier, the current day cannot count for a daily league participator.
