Learn how to customize your appearance in Dreams of Aether. Discover the basics of Aether encoding, different grades, and how to enhance your character's attributes.
Appearance customization in Dreams of Aether involves utilizing Dream Aether to enhance your character's attributes. This process, known as Encoding, allows you to modify various aspects of your character.
Encoding Basics
Dream Aether can be transformed into energy to enhance a person's attributes through a process called Encoding, performed by the Oracle Bracelet. Initially, seven basic attributes can be enhanced: Strength, Agility, Constitution, Vitality, Intelligence, and Perception. The cost to Encode varies based on the volume of the target. For instance, enchanting a 3 cubic meter unit of volume with Sharpness Encoding costs 1 Aether point. Each body has a limit to the Aether it can contain, comparable to a bottle filling with liquid. For humans, this limit is often referred to as the Aether's 100-point limit.
Encoding Grades
There are different grades of Encoding, affecting how much Aether a body can hold and the complexity of the enhancements:
- Grade 1: Aether is like a gas. Allows up to 100 attribute points. The Oracle offers these 7 primary Encodings for free.
- Grade 2: Aether condenses further, like a liquid. Allows up to 1,000 attribute points. Costs credits at the Oracle Store (e.g., 1,000 credits for Grade 2 Strength Encoding).
- Grade 3: Aether condenses to a solid state. Allows up to 10,000 attribute points (theoretical).
Higher grades allow the body to hold more Aether and can include passive properties comparable to Aether Skills.
Attribute Colors
For simplicity, the Oracle has assigned colors to different Aether energies:
- Strength: Red
- Agility: Orange
- Constitution: Yellow
- Vitality: Green
- Intelligence: Cyan
- Perception: Indigo
The Oracle device uses more Aether to encode each different energy based upon its assigned color.
