In the Crucible your dragon fights to earn fame, glory, honor, and a lot of rewards. In all battles you will receive a varying amount of Crucible Coins to spend at the CRUCIBLE ARMORY alongside unique loot tables that progresively get better as your dragon’s rises through the crucible ranks.

All dragons start with no rank and need to participate in an Exaltion battle to move up the next rank which has a few unique requirements.

• The Exalted battle can be against Any Starter only (not player). Starters are geared up with equipment for that fight to make them a better challenge against you.
• You cannot skip ranks! You must become a challenger before you can become a warrior.
• You need Gauntlets which can be purchased in the CRUCIBLE ARMORY to participate in Exaltation Battles. One Gauntlet will give you one opportunity to rank up, use it wisely.
• The dragon who purchases the gauntlet is the only one who can use it! So you can't buy a gauntlet with Dragon A then have Dragon B use the gauntlet. If Dragon A buys it then Dragon A is the only one who can use it.
• Depending on what Arena level you are trying to obtain your dragon needs a certain level.
• Art/Lit requirements are the same as in Normal Crucibles!

Each time you rank up in Crucible (up to Champion) your character's listed Breath types will also level up, granting them higher damage.

All exalted starters are given additional items to help make them stand out against you in combat. These items are intended to level the playing field. Starters are simply scaled based on the character you use against them. i.e.: Fighting an exalted starter as a Challenger will give the starter items that may be seen on most challengers. These items do not change, so you can plan accordingly. 

Some starters have breath elements, magic, or skills. These for the most part stay the same, however magic tier may increase or decrease, or be nonexistent. No stat bonuses are awarded. These changes only apply to Exalted fights.

Basic Class

Rank Requirements: N/A, Any Dragon can do this!
Unlocks:

• Boost to quest Passing
• Use of Magic without items in combat

This is the first trial in your aether journey. The first step that is taken and their introduction to magic. It might be something they learn during danger or through long hours of study. Some dragon’s find a mentor to teach them while others learn on their own.

BASIC CLASS PROMPT
Discovering magic is the first step in awakening the aether that lives in us all. For dragons and other mystical creatures alike, this is often a momentous occasion. All beings have a trace of magic inside them, and the strength of your magic is thought to be related to your spiritual ties to the Aether realm. To awaken the basic class, a character must use their magic for their first time. Was it a chaotic accident? Were they trying to save themselves or another? Perhaps they were being foolish and accidently found their magic while cooking a chicken? Did they have a mentor that finally helped them produce that spark of magic?

Depict your character as they use their magic for the first time. This has endles possibilities and you may depict the magic in any form so long as it is clearly a magical ability. You are free to use your creative imagination to depict how your character uses their magic for the first time! It doesn’t have to match any particular magic type.

Low Class

Rank Requirements: Any Rank, Basic Class Unlocked
Unlocks:

• Boost to passing quests that match the magic type
• Increase Magical Damage in combat
• Access to low class quests

Your character begins to understand more of their magic ability and they pick a category to focus in. Their knowledge will grow, and their ability to use the magic will as well. Low class magic allows a character to pass quests that match up to their category better than that of dragons who only have their Basic Class Magic

LOW CLASS PROMPT
Magic doesn't always go the way you want. It's often uncontrollable and wild, no matter how much you think you know it something will always happen. Did you try to light a candle and accidentally burn a house down? Did you have a magical explosion and accidentally injure yourself / others, maybe you couldn't heal someone you wanted to heal.

Depict a time things didn't go according to plan with magic! It can be a major or a minor incident so long as it was something your dragon didn’t plan on hapening and matches with the magic type you chose. (This can be different from your future High Class magic if you want!)
