Aion: Random Question Thread

[Mabubeezareel]

I don´t know if it was asked before but is it possible to switch gear with a macro? And if yes how?

Thank you ^^

Yes, the proper command is /use, followed by the name of the piece of gear that you'd like to equip. For example:

/use Hill Gauntlets

Note that the macro system doesn't allow for one to specify the specific slot to equip the gear on. This becomes an issue when you want to swap out your second earring or ring, as both the /use command and right-clicking a ring/earring from your inv will always equip the ring/earring into the first ring/earring slot. You cannot use any command line (and subsequently, macro) to do equip a ring/earring into the second slot, so you're stuck having to do it manually.

What servers out there have a consistently strong Elyos standing? I'm looking at rerolling an Elyos on another server to try out the sunny side of life. (and maybe learn/provide tips about the opposing side when rifting) I'd rather hear from players themselves rather than look at Abyss standings.

This should give you an idea on the abyss status.

[Darkdreamer]

Yeah, my last sentence said I'd like to hear from actual players rather than look at the abyss standings. Those can fluctuate a lot depending on if people can get off their ass or not.

Fregion has a strong Elyos side, asmos took all the forts at like 2 am a few days ago because the elyos legions made a forum post agreeing to let them have the forts so we could have guards to grind for once lol

Asmos on my server have to many issues with each other to get along. They at the moment only control one fort out of the whole abyss. Last night, only one fort went vulnerable and you'd assume the Asmos would be in strong force to make an attempt at taking it. But after taking down the gate and being plowed they all decided to back off so we sat there for 20 minutes wondering if they were going to come back. And no, they did not. Majority of the Asmos on the server prefer rifting in Heiron to gank bots and grinders. And a select few turn the Upper Abyss into their play ground by ganking anyone that crosses their paths. But when it comes to forts, they don't even bother making an attempt.

i wish the fucking elyos on perento would do this, nearly 4 weeks running we haven't had a single blue/red thing in lower to farm..even artifacts get taken back within hours. all the asmos just camp upper shards for medals when their forts are up until enough elyos give a shit to drive them out

where do I get my wingggs

Is Aionsource timing out for anyone else?

Yes.

[drewbixcube]

Mind asking him if you get the chance? And if he did get reset, if there was anything particular he said or did to make it happen since others have said it couldn't be done.

sorry i was mistaken that he took cooking to expert, or he just didn't convey the message very well

S'ok. Hopefully being 50 now and hopping to a new legion will see my moneymaking improve. 0/9 on that stupid first synth, though. Beginning to think I should hold off until I have the mats for like 5 gos in a row.





Also, I'm the leg of the third Advanced Stigma quest where I need the Blue Scales and Time/Space Stone, is that just a one-time thing to get into DP/for the quest or will I need like 5 scales or something to keep going back? Would check other sites, but they all seem to be down/buggy.

[Noobta]

You need the 180k stone each time. It's 20 scales to get in through Heiron, 5 if you change languages and get it from core.

[Priran]

you have to pay 20 scales the first time. you need a new time activation stone every time you want to enter dark poeta, but after the first time you have the option of paying only 5 scales + essence in the core.

Anyone know which NPC starts [Group] Confront Asmodian Officers? Or if there's some pre-req other than finishing rank 1's.

[Trichocyst]

How do you get the key box in 3 minutes on Steel Rake Mid Deck? Should you just skip it? My core group was low manning there for the first time and things went pretty smoothly until then. Plus everyone has kind of stressed out in general. Couldn't find a scrap of it anywhere.

You need a high rank yourself ( rank 1 ) to pick it up, it's from Michalis or the girl next to him, dont think it actually shows until you talk to them either iirc.

Just dinged 35 Glad last night, and need a recommendation on weapons. Got lucky and crafted the level 35 HQ Worthy Polearm (I think Worthy Noble Adamantium Polearm is the correct name) on my first try, but have not yet soul-binded it. I've been DWing Inferno/Hannets for the last few levels, and am unsure if I should stick with those or go with the new polearm. I don't want to soul-bind the polearm just yet, because I can sell it for a couple mil if my current weapons are going to be comparable.

A couple of different ways.

1. you can have the tank buff up + charge through the entire area and train all the mobs out while the rest of the party searches for boxes then stands in a "safe spot" which is just outside the aggro range of the archer mob on the opposite side of the room. The tank will likely outrun the mobs if they have movement speed bonus and make it back ok.

2. You can ninja through the room after you kill the one mob along the right side of the wall. Getting an entire party through the room that is not familiar with patrols if risky but you can select what mobs to kill /cc while the cleric grabs keys.

3. Kill select mobs (47+ rec) and grab chests.

Thanks a lot Merona.

If you have a WN Adamantium Polearm you should see if you can find somebody to craft it into expert. If you're lucky enough to get an Expert Noble Adamantium Polearm you're basically set until end game when you can get a better attack speed polearm or an attack speed great sword. If you can manage to enchant it up to +10 it will be unparalleled.
