I honestly find it a waste to get the regular Lv 40 wings right now that come with the magazine subscription, because its just like the ones you can buy off the vendor but a different color. The 50 wings trump it with the +100 HP on it, and flight time can easily be restored by pots.

However, when those 6th month vet rewards ones come out, with their +60 Flight, +120 HP and +120 MP... oh yeah, you bet your ass I'll be sporting those.

I know as a Cleric, I can stay up in the air almost indefinitely if I wanted to. Splendor of Flight and a ton of flight pots that I craft myself... it's real simple.

Flight pots+ Splendor+Abyss Flight Pots = never out of flight

Well until you die, get bored, or you cut wings. I think it's a waste to buy the wings too, but meh if they want blue wings then go ahead.

Seems like Corvus basically bit the big one. And a lot of Asmodians from Flawless are re-rolling Elyos now lol. First Dejh (Xage), now Alice apparently did the same.

Nice. Siel had two top legions ragequit and the map flipped over to Elyos controlled. Has been like that for awhile though.

Don't let the rumors fool you. Corvus is doing fine. Many people stopped playing but we also got stricter on our polices which caused a lot of people to get kicked.

Found out a bit more from Moirae when he stopped in our legions vent (after I killed his alt farming guards at Siel lol). Basically he just had beef with Domineer, and not the rest of Corvus or something like that.

Either way, its not my business - I don't care for it unless it benefits the Elyos in some way ;).

I gave in and bought those Lv 40 wings from the Subscription and the White Dye as well for my Miragents.

The +15 and item combine isn't something that I'd like to see.. Why? Rangers with full accessories+abyss bow/fenris/miragents is already op in a way. I just can't wait til a 4k crit becomes a 6k+ crit! Or the lovely lolburst being able to actually 1hit me.

However the patch looks very nice and can't wait. I'm still waiting for the 2.0 and ground abyss.

I also lol @ their 'fix' for dredgion. All mobs can see stealth, need 5 surks for captain to spawn, but screw all that the rare spawn increased and ap! Not huge ap increase, but 3000 to 4500 is quite a bit. Do that every day for a month and you can get a weapon

Bloods will drop from 43+ balaur mobs. Guess I should start selling the 70 I saved up.. again. It's better be rich than another try when it'll cost a couple mil in a month or two.

http://aion.gamechosun.co.kr/board/view ... num=123332

Also looks like you can medals from quests now.. that's just retarded. Same thing goes for all stigmas for sale ranging from kinah 300k~3mil and they're in levels.. i mean uhh 300k for the lowest lvl and 3mil for 50s.

That would be both a blessing and a curse, for the NPC Stigma sale that is. Classes that have class-defining stigmas such as Bestial Fury and Focused Shots (Ranger), and Recovery Spell (Chanter) will be able to finally get what they need at a somewhat reasonable price.

Right now on Triniel Elyos, Recovery Spell goes for at least 20m or more.

Also made an Asmodian alt sorcerer on the Kaisinel server, already level 30 with the green AP pauldrons and legs with the Daevonian chest. Win

Siel blood price dropped from average 330 to 200k and still dropping. Trying to sell, but it's hard when the market actually has more than 100 bloods at a time now. You can actually get them for 150k if you spam LFG o_O" buying 125 bloods isn't expensive atm and won't be when 1.9 comes out. This sucks I still have 60 bloods to sell and I was hoping they would rebound in price back to 330 and MAYBE I can get 15mil+

I was very impressed with AION at first. Now not so sure after playing it. I guess previews can do that to you.

I still find the game fun, whenever I'm bored with the Miragent's grind, I level alts, or find some glitches and stuff on both the Elyos and Asmodian side that can be ultimately used to my advantage.

For example, I just figured out you can use the Vertical Glide technique to escape Eracus Temple in Eltnen as an Asmodian character... tried and true, it works.

More on that soon, I promise ;).

I got Zapiel's chest thanks to the event. Jewel went to a legion mate and then some **** kept killing every other Zapiel that spawned and got no joke 10 golds. Sadly we got the only weapon that dropped..

hmm i'm thinking of trying out this game. Which server are you guys on? What is the lvl cap? Is lvling easy? How is the skills system like (not like SRO i hope)?

Also where are the old Avalon players playing at? which nation?

Sorry for so many questions ^_^

Most of us are on different servers. I'm on Siel and it's one race sided atm.

salmissra wrote:What is the lvl cap? Is lvling easy?

Lv 50 and if you played with Silkroad leveling it's easy. You kill a mob every 30seconds or so though. To get level 50 takes around 1~3months first time. Very boring leveling..

salmissra wrote:How is the skills system like (not like SRO i hope)?

Skills system.. you buy books and you learn them. That's pretty much it. Along with 'stigmas' which you equip an item that gives you a skill. Some are costly, most aren't.

salmissra wrote:Also where are the old Avalon players playing at? which nation?


I don't know if they play Aion.

I'll be honest. It isn't worth playing unless you have friends that are playing it.

If what you mean by old Avalon players, Fly, Nightbloom, etc., I forgot what server they play on.

Uh, I think its Vaizel.

http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/cha ... rID=156434






Lots of QQing about the event today. We got over 20 gold drops from Zapiel, spear included, but lots of QQ because 2 legions got most of the drops.

Same thing happened on the Elyos side, Soran from SunShine got almost all the drops, and if it weren't for the GM actually killing off some of the Zapiel spawns in Sanctum, taking the loot, and redistributing it to other people NOT in SunShine, he would have got it all.


If nothing else though, seeing Klausen and Soran duke it out in Diety form inside Sulfur was pretty sick.

Since Aion is getting 1.9 soon, are there any news for an expansion? Or is 2.0 that one large revamp plan they have on graphics, player housing, etc.?

1.9 from what I see is mainly modifications to the game and a bit add ons(Skills, two hand weapon combine, purchase crafting fluxes. Stuff not that big to call content imo)

2.0 is where they're adding a bunch of stuff. Not much has been released about it, but I do know this. They're going to have the ground abyss, because of all the QQ people made about not being able to attack. 2.0 has a 24 man instance(Not much in known if this is the only one or about it) with 10 bosses and last boss is the same as DP with a rank system. It will have 2 new maps(I think 4 because of 55 cap and leveling on your race side OR they're ganna promote PvPvE and have the ground abyss with the only mobs 50+) That's all I know about 2.0

Managed to get my gladiator to level 50 Sunday.

Spoiler!


Also, my legion, Corvus, is pretty much dead now. Leader says he quits until 2.0 and it didn't help that he blamed some people for the current state of the legion which caused them to leave and other issues... So basically I'm just sitting in a mostly dead legion because there are a few people who still log on regularly to chat with and I don't really see a better legion to join at the moment.

Edit: Oh, and when he proc'd Fenris he felt there was nothing more to do because he had "beat the game" now. :palm:

I failed fenris again. So I ragequit onto my lv 30 ranger for rifting. Rifting at this level sucks when there are 50s running around the map looking for rifters. Nice.

For the guy that 'beat the game'.. That is the reason why the abyss is always dead. -.-
