Aion: Random Question Thread

[SaviorSelf]

How do you get energy of salvation? I have it on all my mules, and had it once on my main, and despite logging in for a few days and generally not doing too much (not standing around AFK either) it still hasn't come back. Is it only for certain levels that I missed? I'm 48.

[Gokulo]

2. Energy of Salvation has been added.

Characters who have progress slowly from level 15 despite long connection times and continuous in-game activity will now obtain bonus EXP through the Energy of Salvation.

Characters who receive the Energy of Salvation will receive Energy of Salvation points at set time intervals.

Energy of Salvation points are automatically used during hunting, collecting, crafting, missions, quests, and PvP, and will boost earned XP by 30%.

Unused points disappear 10 minutes after logging out.

Mituna is a new (1.9) alt to adhati for that quest. You'd need to kill one or the other to finish.

@Drex: He's usually one of those 3 pats (him + 2 elites), if he's not up means some1 killed him recently, and idk what's his spawn time, sorry.

crazy, had no idea

[stewie]

Is there any server where there's actually asmos that aren't 50 in Morheim?

[Drex]

Azutoran Fortress doesn't show on the /checkentry list, does anyone know what the lockout timer is? Or how to reset the instance? We tried leaving and re-entering, and breaking party and reforming, but it didn't reset.

[Corwen]

There is no lockout time to my knowledge, however, if you just killed the boss to update fragment of memory 3 campaign quest, you must finish the campaign before you can restart the instance.

I had a group that had 1 person forget to talk to the NPC at start before the boss died, we broke group and reformed and could enter right away to redo it for them, except the people who just updated their quest on the boss had to finish the mission before it let them back in. We were only in for about 30 minutes the first run.

[Drex]

Yeah we figured out that you have to break group and reform to reset it

[Saga]

just came back to the game last week, level 33 ranger. what are the new daily quests people are talking about?

[arus2001]

If you're Elyos, look for some Alabaster order dude in the center circle in Heiron. Quests themselves aren't really much to write home about, at least from what I'd seen.

[Imitarate]

Very minor fetchquests, the rewards are temporary gear and titles. Seems kind of lackluster so far. I'm going to save up for the 9-token manastone bag, see if I get anything good. The 40 quests have better rewards, they require you to PvP in certain areas (the one I have active on my main wants me to kill in Core/Upper only).

[Pyree]

The 9 token manastone pouches will give random Lv50 stones. Can be white or green quality. It seems you either get 2 white stones or 1 green stone. I haven't gotten any worthwhile manastones, so I quit doing that daily on all 8 of my characters regularly.

And for reference, 3 tokens = Lv30 manastones; 6 tokens = Lv40 manastones.

[Darkdreamer]

So, for the life of me I'm trying to figure out how the hell so many 50's are sitting on millions upon millions of kinah and never seem to ever farm or craft. What are they doing?

So any kinah making tips for a Templar that has pretty average gear and I'm looking to make decent money so I can at least upgrade my gear to something that resembles good gear until I can manage to get some drops.

My wife does Alchemy but other than sitting there gathering till I want to hammer my balls into oblivion, what else is out there?

I'm Asmodian btw so Elyos farming tips may not be of much use.

[Kerberoz]

Crafting makes you poorer. Buying gear makes you poorer.

Instances make you richer. Grinding grinding grinding grinding grinding grinding miragent/fenril makes you richer.

Doing anything other than grinding grinding grinding grinding is a waste of time. Remember, it's a Korean game.

[Darkdreamer]

Grind on anything in particular?

But yeah I notice the majority of my money comes from crap I get in instances and breaking crap greens and blues for decent enchantment stones.

[Imitarate]

I have the three blade fragments from the lower fort instances on my sorcerer, and I'm starting to get to the point where I think I can get a result out of that quest line -- but I hear it's expensive, somewhere in the 3mil neighborhood, and I have 399 handicrafting begging to put that kind of money to better use. Given that I'm not a big PvPer, does anyone know if the blade fragment quest weapon is worth the effort? Especially since I could fuse it with Betoni's book/orb.

[Senji]

its like 10.5 mil to get the weapon

[arus2001]

I wouldn't say it's worth it for a sorc. Maybe a 2H melee as a sub-combine on an extendable, but yeah, some of the effort for some weapons is terribly skewed in terms of what they actually wind up doing.

[Pooky]

Its not what you grind, but how much you grind. Kill enough mobs and you'll be rich from grays, not counting the whites (or greens ect). Its all about slaughtering enough things to make the abysmal world drop rates tilt in your favor.

[Darkdreamer]

Everything I've grinded on to get to 50 (mostly Plat coin mobs) don't give up a damn thing. On a really really good night I can walk away with 200K. But the norm is like 20K. So other than killing more of the same couple thousand mobs anywhere else? I heard the zombies down by Adma are good but I've never gotten anything worthwhile off them. Unless I sell the elemental stones, which I don't normally since my wife is an Alchemist. I guess I'll just start selling off my Plat coins, at some point or another I read that gear can be pretty worthless especially when the level cap and everything increases.

[Kerberoz]

It doesn't matter what you grind. Everything worthwhile is a world drop anyway. There is no intelligent way to make money in Aion. Just grind like a mindless zerg drone. The only "better" mobs are balaur and instance mobs that drop kinah.
