AoC Earth Magic, Attunements and Spells (2024)

The Ancient Arts

This is the first step, and is a requirement to learn any magic in AoC. Learning the 'Ancient Arts' unlocks the 'Studies of Ancient Arts' and 'Enchanting Table' crafting stations feats, as well as the Soul Magic spell Essence Blast, which can be used in any magic weapon regardless of magic knowledge, perfect for starter faction staves.

AoC Earth Magic is one of 7 types of magic you can learn, and It has 5 levels of mastery.

Nature Magic Attunements

In order to learn Earth magic, you need to find the Nature Magic attunement Tomes, and you will need to find the tomes of ascension to level your magic.

Nature Attunement (Feat):

Note: A requirement to learn nature magics.

NPC Name: Druid Asteria Margona

Requirements: None.

Location: At the center of the island in M-6, near the Earth Call Monolith.

Tome of Nature Ascension Vol. 1:

Note: A requirement to upgrade nature magics to level 2.

NPC Name: None

Requirements: None

Location: Found on a crate outside of Camilla Redwood's hut in the Stormhold Encampment between D-5 and E-5.

Tome of Nature Ascension Vol. 2:

Note: A requirement to upgrade nature magics to level 3.

NPC Name: Kharissa Demont

Requirements: 20 Star Metal Ores, 10 Black Lotuses, 25 Fireblooms

Location: In front of Set Religion Teacher in G-7.

Tome of Nature Ascension Vol. 3:

Note: A requirement to upgrade nature magics to level 4.

NPC Name: Ostava Eaglespan

Requirements: "65 Fireblooms, 80 Aurora Herbs, 10 Mystical Potions.

Location: Inside Temple of Frost in the Frost Temply Smithy room. Entrance to the temple is between D-14 and E-14.

Tome of Nature Ascension Vol. 4:

Note: A requirement to upgrade nature magics to level 5.

NPC Name: Elena Amury

Requirements: 30 Bitter Crinilas, 50 Mystical Plants, 45 Vulcan Bees.

Location: On a pillar inside a vanilla dungeon named 'The Passage'. Entrance at K-9. Use the jump rings to get to the upper/hanging platforms.

Note:

The pillar in The Passage has been made un-climbable in AoC, so we'll need an alternate way to get up to access the Tome of Nature Ascension Vol, 4 and the Tome of Blood Magic. Also, the Sand Reaper Hive Queen was moved to a cage hanging from the top of the cavern because it was difficult to fight with all the plague spiders that are now infesting The Passage. Every enemy in The Passage besides the Sand Hive Queen will drop a cloud of Elarikan Plague, and the scourge spiders have very fast respawn times, so it's quite deadly to fight in here. It's not necessary to fight any of the scourge mobs to traverse through The Passage, so it's recommended to not bring a follower and to pack lightly if you drop items on death.

You will find the first jump ring/pad on the ground of the nope cavern, on the left side of the broken bridge part that you dropped down from. The jump ring/pad looks like a white glowing symbols in the shape of a ring laying on an angle. (You will need to use these bounce rings if you want to find Elena Amury (sells the tomb of nature ascention), and the Inquisitor of the Cold Embrace (sells the tomb of blood magic), they are on the center platform, the one with the waterfall).

When you walk into the jump pad it'll launch you more or less in the direction it is facing, but there is some variation based on how you approach it, so it's best to line up your jumps. The easiest way to do this is to stand with your back to the jump pad, while facing your intended destination, then back into the pad and launch in the direction you're facing.

The first jump pad leads to a platform attached to a pillar hanging from the ceiling. Aim for the pillar as it is climbable, so you can cling to it and descend safely. There is a scourge spider on this platform but it is best ignored, once killed it'll drop a plague cloud that you can't avoid while on the platform. Use the jump pad on this platform to launch to another platform, this one without a spider but with two pads on it. Be careful not to land directly on the next jump pad or you'll get launched immediately without much control. The two jump pads on the third platform lead to the Sand Reaper Hive Queen cage or the platform with the vendors for the magic books. If you're here for both, head to the Hive Queen first as the jump pad from her cage also leads to the platform with the books. Not much aiming is needed for the Hive Queen cage, but the book platform on the big pillar can be difficult to hit. Note that you do have a lot of air control once launched, hold back to slow your speed significantly if needed. The column of water coming down from the ceiling and landing on the pillar platform is swimmable, you should aim to hit this column of water to stop your flight and allow you to descend safely. Finally, a jump pad on the pillar platform leads across the way to the elevated area at the end, which leads to the Underwater Cavern dungeon (swim straight down in the body of water up there) or up the stairs and out into the snowy north.
