Aristeia has become an association and most of the achievements don't grant any combat ratings any more. Change 8000 contains some of the changes[1]

There's an Aristeia guild in a temple. You can get to it from everywhere. It's pretty great.

Maybe check out the book.

Spoiler warning: information below includes details, such as solutions to puzzles or quest procedures, that you may prefer to discover on your own.

Joining

You may join Aristeia from Homer located in the Temple of Aristes. 

   You say, "I devote myself to Aristes"
   
   You sense a presence settling into your memory, looking to filter and siphon a small portion of your experience for itself.

   You are now a first-degree specialist in athleticism, memory, pain tolerance, showmanship, and tenacity. [event logged]
   You are now a third-degree specialist in legend lore. [event logged]

Minimum Specialty Points required are 2 WIL, 4 INT, 1 EGO, 1 STR.

Joining appears to cause a -1 to Assimilativity.

Leaving

You must gain 3 levels in the guild before you can leave it. To leave, say 'I wish to end my devotion to Aristes'.

Rejoining

You may rejoin immediately.

You'll have all your previous achievements and ranks, plus the defined/adopted achievements you had when you left.

Blocked Affiliations

There are A LOT of conflicts (see below). Sadly the Assoc is very good so the blocks are definitely a gimp. :-/

Aris Calculation Sheet

Aris Calculation Sheet 

Has updating Ratings and shows effectiveness of various Chevo's based on your Rank and Skills
  1. Make a copy of the sheet to your own personal Google account, this will allow you to edit the sheets
  2. Start by dumping skills Skill Dump sheet and follow directions
  3. Ask Agun if you have questions on how to use it or if you find any issues

Achievement Effects and Development

Achievements generally affect how your attack, damage, dodge and deflection values are calculated by increasing the ratios on how specific skills related to the achievement are calculated. Some achievements may only take effect during specific events as outlined in its individual help information (such as being poisoned, in a specific combat mode, and so forth).

Achievements will normally have to be set as 'active' (from adoption or exemplification) for their primary effects of rating calculation to take place.

The only known difference between adopting and exemplification of an achievement is the amount of time before you can swap active achievements. Adoption requiring a three minute cool-down, while exemplification requires 3 hours. This means you may have up to six achievements active at any given moment, and may switch up to three of them within ten minutes time.

Not all achievements affect the same combat ratings, some may just give discharge rating increases or only damage, attack, or dodge ... etcetera.

Not all achievements which affect combat ratings appear to give the same skill weight ratios, at rank one a achievement may only add a fraction of its related skill while another might add a larger portion. The way the ratio develops as the achievement progresses is also different.

All achievements appear to develop from combat, and at different rates of progression.

Some achievements will grant specialty access in its related skills.

Some achievements appear to give bonus specialties even when not selected active, so it could be worth-while to develop them for free specialty points.

Achievements have a maximum rank of 100.

You can find a list of known achievements here: Aristeia Achievements.

Chevos with "Issues"

  • Elemental - Chevo gives the resistances as indicated, but appears to absorb primal for advantage, not the elements that it lists.
  • Impregnable - Chevo works, but a significant amount of other chevos do NOT tick up while in Defensive Combat Mode
  • Stoic - Chevo works, but a significant amount of other chevos do NOT tick up while in Passive Combat Mode
  • Toasty - Chevo will not tick up if you're on fire and taking damage from said fire in combat

Player Recommended Achievement Builds and Setups

players take it from here - Starhound

A lot of achievements require use of artifact weapons, it might be beneficial to pick ones you like out and use them when able.

Your effective Hardiness and Athleticism skills (ie, the skills + buffs + related stats) help improve your damage-type taking achievements like Callous.

Your Showmanship skill effects your damage-type dealing achievements like smashing - high skills add to the infliction (-resist, +penetration) effect - as well as your damage-type taking achievements like Callous - high skills add to the +combat advantage effect.

There are a handful of achievements that add a bonus spec to your character just for earning them, including:

Getting thumped from hitting things in unarmed combat will raise your Callous achievement/give you some combat advantage, making it a solid pick for an unarmed build.

Anything you can double-dip on skills with is going to be a solid choice, tenacity especially has lots of good options and can be buffed heavily by a scribal belt. By getting multiple achievements that use the same skill, you only need to raise that one skill to achieve great things.

All your ratings bonuses are affected by percentage-based ratings bonuses - this means that ranged combat, with potentially 200-300% bonus based on your bow, is especially viable for this guild.
