Aion: Random Question Thread

[Corwen]

I remember when they made the jump from 1.5 to 1.9, I no longer got sound from Aion when the game stopped being focus. Did they ever fix this or put in an option to keep it enabled? Still pondering a poke back depending on how the XI update in December pans out, but this was one of my peeves when it came to bulk crafting or being in an area where "PvP" was possible.

They did add a setting somewhere in the options menu to enable sound while aion is running in the background. I'm out of town at the moment so I can't point you to the exact location but it is there.

One thing I've been wondering for a while... As far as selling/giving away loot rights, how long do you have before a corpse will disappear and they could no longer pick it up? It seems to be quite a while but I'm wondering about how long that is...

[Corwen]

You can hold the loot on a corpse indefinitely as long as somebody has the loot window open on it (I know of 1 group in my legion holding an eternal drop in BT for 7 hours for somebody's cooldown to come up to loot it in this fashion). Otherwise, its about 20 minutes until it despawns, less time if items on the corpse have been rolled on I believe.

[Indalecia]

So how DO you sell loot rights? Every time we get someone in to get the loot who wasnt in the party, it doesnt show up in their roll window. So I tried waiting for it to go blue where anyone can loot it and it disappeared. How does it work?

[Trichocyst]

All pass on the item first, then bring them in, the corpse will go blue.

[Pooky]

All pass on the item first, then bring them in, the corpse will go blue.

This, but make sure you keep the loot window open until the buyer is there to collect; else the box will despawn after a while.

After food, you'll want stats that look something like this:

Accuracy: ~2100-2200
Crit: ~450+
Attack: As much as you can get after reaching the above acc/crit values. 400+ should be good, though the higher the better.

Most of the mobs have high defensive stats (parry, block, and/or evasion), similar to the dragonbound in upper/lower udas. 2200 accuracy is enough to completely counter these stats on all mobs except for a couple of bosses that have ridiculous evasion buffs that no amount of accuracy will help against.

Player skill, having a good group setup, and a good strategy for the bosses are all more important than gear, although good gear does help make things a bit quicker/easier. Having a basic gold PvE set such as miragent's, anuhart, etc. should maximize your chances of getting a group as many people are picky about gear.

well the only way to reach 2200 accu would be getting a gold dagger/sword 55
since no set gives accuracy so socket some accus +27? and yeah i normally keep my crit above 410 so if the chanter uses crit buff i use attack food if he uses full attack mantras y use crit/accu food.
atm working on full udas set got the pauldrons with 5 slots but not using them since the 3 piece mira set buff seems better atm until i get 3 udas pieces.

[Corwen]

You'll most likely need some accuracy stones for a 2200 set, unless you can get your hands on a couple of good weapons that have bonus accuracy and get as much accuracy as you can with accessories.

Jewelry should have crit + acc (+hp too if possible but not necessarily required). Your jewelry for the most part is good, except the SR earring you have lacks bonus accuracy.
Belt should have attack + acc - http://www.aionarmory.com/item.aspx?id=123000667 would be a good starting belt that you can buy or have crafted for pretty cheap (~750k per attempt based on israphel prices, should be able to sell non-procs for most or all of that money back).

A 2nd bergrisar earring + 43 gold crafted belt would give you an extra 99 accuracy and should put you at around 1950 base with your gear and roughly 2k with food. From there slotting 4 accuracy stones would push you to 2100. With a good chanter that can keep word of inspiration up regularly, that would put you up to 2200.

Just hit 40 Sorc on Elyos Zikel, is it worth stopping to focus on getting some pvp gear (after double exp weekend) or should I just push for 55 as fast as possible and worry about it then? Honestly, I enjoy pvp in Aion but AP grinding pre-Dredg seems really annoying.

[Corwen]

I'd just try to get to 50+ asap, then you shouldn't have too much trouble getting a group together for inner fort instances + dredgions. Doing all 3 inner forts + 2 dredgions is an easy 20-30k AP daily regardless of rank, more if you can make the 3rd dredgion, pvp (if you can actually find it on Zikel), and/or farm guards on top of that. Zikel elyos have basically owned the inner forts forever, so you're probably not in any danger of losing them anytime soon except for the balaur occasionally taking one for a couple of days.

[Trichocyst]

Ha. Obba squad. I did a DP S run with that guy last week and he was a jerk.

It was a random invite and I had been leveling without anyone to talk to for the first 40 levels of the game so I just accepted, meh.

I don't really know much about the game so I guess it's useful to have a legion with some 55s so I can ask noobish questions and actually get direct answers rather than try to look them up. Compared to FFXI and WoW, Aion information websites are well...not so informative.

[Trichocyst]

Well my legion is pretty awesome if you ever need to change.

Messing around since they got 10 free days going. Enjoying the improved drops, but I'm just stumped on what I should price a godstone for. It's Traufnir's Bravery, 1% chance for 1880 fire damage. None on AH here, so wondering how other servers might have 'em priced.

[Trichocyst]

Would probably be 30-40 mil on Zikel.

[izembo]

seriously? how?

[arus2001]

Dunno, but sold it for 33m. I'm kind of amused. Made more kinah in one day (~60m) than I probably did in the 8 or so months I'd played.
