Howdy,

As a fellow player I understand the disappointment of having a gold BoP item drop that nobody in the group can use. I would love to be able to exchange the item for one you could use, however, as the games loot system allows for this to occur I am unable to give you the Templar version of the Anuhart boots. I do wish you the best of luck in obtaining them. Thank you for playing Aion.

Regards,
GM Bilgerat

FUUUUU

oh well, there goes that lie.

Yeah, GM's can't swap items for another lol. What they CAN do is transfer said item from your person to another account and it doesn't use a 1-use ticket pretty sure, have had shit switched off/to me before when lot fuckups occur etc.

Yea, this does work as long as both people were eligible to roll on that item.

Not sure if serious, are any BL players atleast half fucking decent?

[Kerberoz]

Are BL all Kuwaitis/UAE or some shit? Since apparently they all:
A) cheat
and
B) run maxed settings with fraps during mass pvp

What exactly does this show?

To me its just a clusterfuck that shows that there is very rarely any "real" pvp in Aion.

Most ( with a few exceptions ) of the Kuwaitis I encountered in FFXI were RMTing, account buying, cheating, stealing, botting, douchebags of the first order.

Quick Cleric Q.

Are Flash of Recovery and Reverse Condition bugged? My gf keeps killing me () because she says Flash keeps not going off, and she says earlier RC took her HP and didnt give MP, and just now it gave her MP and didn't take HP.

If flash is bugged, is there a better stigma to use?

[Drex]

There are a couple things that cause flash not to work right:

If the person is dead, but their health bar hasn't updated yet to show they are dead (really obvious with ranged attacks where the projectile hasn't hit them yet), you will not be able to cast flash on them even though they are still alive on your screen.

There's a delay after heals are cast before the health actually gets restored (and it's pretty significant, about half a second or so, up to a full second on aoe heals). If they die during that delay, then the flash goes off but does not heal them, and the cooldown is set to full as if you cast it. This happens all the time in dredg when someone is being focus fired and it drives me crazy.

Sometimes heals just fail. I have no idea what causes this or how to prevent it, but even if the person isn't dead or dying, I've had times where the heal never gave them HP. It's kinda rare, but it happens and it really blows.

As for reverse condition, I don't know. Only used it a couple times before I decided I didn't really need it and switched out. I've never heard of those problems. Getting mp without taking hp sounds like a nice problem to have though, if she can reproduce it lol

it might be unrelated but I've had this happen to me a couple of times when I get disconnected for a second or two and switch target during that time. Most of the time the target will switch back once I'm connected again (that's a weird behaviour but apparently the target is stored server side) but once in a while it won't switch back. If I remember correctly once this happens every spell I cast will be used on myself (as if I didn't have any target) and it gives the feeling that the spells don't go off

[Argantes]

Sorry if this has been asked before. On iphone at work atm so search is quite a hassle atm.
Is there some kinda reduction on using godstones when dualwielding? Cause i plan on using para and silence on my sin. Would like to know if offhand is limited on proc etc. If so, which should i use in which hand. And why?
Thanks in advance.

[Imitarate]

I imagine there is some limitation just because abilities only use main hand -- you'll only get offhand procs on actual swings. Shouldn't be a big problem if you're weaving.

How exactly is loot done when people outside level range (10+) hit/help heal on the boss? I`ve heard >50% of the dmg done needs to be done by people in level range of loot drops. That the people outside level range need to be out of group. That as long as someone within range gets the last hit. How does it work? :/

[Katlan]

afaik: if anybody 10+ lvs does dmg to a mob there will be no loot outside of quest specific stuffs. So higher lv ppl can grief others by running buy a mob/NM/ect... and dps'ing it from outside the raid

[Corwen]

Somebody merely touching a mob 10+ below them won't cause the people fighting the mob to lose their drops. In fact, you can even have those people in the party fighting the mob as long as they don't do too much damage and they drop out of the group before it dies and still get loot.

As long as the group who is awarded the loot (did the most damage) does not have anybody who is 10+ over the mob level at the time of its death, it can still drop loot as normal.

[Fallyn]

I heard; 10+ outside can do damage, but the party/alliance at the correct level that is fighting the mob has to have hate when mob dies.

i dont know how true that is, but yeah.

[Pyree]

The group that deals the most damage is given the most damage is given the loot. If none of their group members are 10 or more levels above the monster, then it can drop loot. Whatever anyone else outside of the group did doesn't matter, they can be any level.

It's common practice at bosses like Andre to have a group of people in the correct level range fighting it, then all the 50's you have are solo. This is a tested method and it works, 50's cannot grief at bosses like Andre simply by hitting it once to ruin the loot pool.

[LurkaKitty]

Thanks for the definitive answer, exactly what I was looking for!

Now for another, my SM is level 37, about 35% till 38, and it`s painfully slow. Would it be possible to level to 40 through crafting? On a double exp weekend? Not on a double exp weekend?

[Pyree]

If you're talking about skilling up a craft, it won't matter if it's on double exp weekend or not. Skill ups in crafting are based on the exp that you've earned while crafting, so you will get the same exp if you level from 1-399 on double exp weekend as you would any other time. The difference is that you get it twice as fast and for half the cost over double exp weekend.

It requires about 9.5 mil exp from crafting to get a craft from 1-399. That won't even get you the rest of the way to Lv38.

[LurkaKitty]

Hurrr that`s dixx, but thanks for the info
