A good class to make money on is cleric, they can solo/duo one of the end-game instances and sell loot. This is how I make money, I'm addicted.

**Darkdreamer** · 2011-01-31 13:28

Yeah my wife does Udas 2-4 man every day and she goes from having 800K one day and by weeks end she's sitting on 40M. But we have a really good cleric who is on top of his shit even when he's barely paying attention/high as a kite.

**Drex** · 2011-01-31 17:37

SMs are also a really good solo class for leveling on the cheap and making money. I leveled an SM alt to 45 for a change of pace from cleric, and I leveled absurdly fast withouit a penny from my main. The only things I kept up to date were my tome and my skills, and I had plenty of money for those things because I didn't need to buy anything else. Can easily solo elites or rape regulars for good XP and cash, and your armor really doesn't matter much as long as it's got decent manastones in it. It's easy to play solo and probably a great class to help get accustomed to the game in general, so you have a chance to see everything in action and decide what you want your main to be. And hey, if you choose SM to stay your main, you're set!

Cleric and chanter are probably the other two easy classes to start out as. The ability to heal yourself any time you want is fantastic, and clerics get the added bonus of being able to dispel themselves. I really, really missed that when I played other classes and had to rely on long cooldowns or 30 second healing pots for my dispelling needs. Assassin and ranger are both notoriously annoying to play at low-mid levels, but very good at endgame. Glad, sorc, and temp fall somewhere in the middle.

All classes are pretty important endgame, but as someone mentioned, sins and rangers are dime-a-dozen. If you're going to play one, you had better have plenty of time available to gear it up really well. Clerics, chanters, and SMs have the most lee-way gearwise.

Seems like everyone is starving for a chanter end game. When I log on I can do anything I want, but it also sucks that all of my friends rely on me so much that I feel bad when I'm not around.

**SilverBreeze** · 2011-01-31 18:24

I love my chanter but I've never had any luck gearing her. Ridiculous amounts of Theolabs didn't yield any results at all. (Although we saw like 4 Greatswords/Polearms in the process).

No matter your gear though, as a Chanter if you don't tunnel vision and know how to heal decently, most any group will want you, at least that was how it was for me.

**Trichocyst** · 2011-01-31 18:49

No joke. 16 months without a staff drop. If you're a good support chanter, gear up for DPS but know when to heal, then people will adore you.

I suppose this is a random enough question.

Nvidia has been giving out free Aion trials {not the gimped trial thats capped at 10, but the game + 15 days free play}, and I absolutely cannot for the life of me find anyone who subscribed to the newsletter to nvidia who hasn't used their code. My friend has been wanting to try Aion for a long time, but I've always told her to not go for the regular trial since it's crap, and I wanted to surprise her with a non-bullshit code. If anyone has such a free code, can you PM me one? Thanks.

**Pyree** · 2011-05-31 15:10

Hmm, I don't have the nvidia thing, but Aion did just start a new trial program, are you sure the one you got is different from the program they just started?

They have new public trials that are good til Lv20 or for 10 days. http://na.aiononline.com/freetrial

**Casey_** · 2011-05-31 18:34

Well shit, that will work too. The original trial was capped at level 10, which as you know really doesn't get much into the game except the starter area. I thought they just re-advertised the old trial.

Any suggestions for a decent server? I'm not sure what faction my friend would pick at this point, but I haven't played since before Lumiel was taken down. I will probably pick a trial with her as Elyos for familiarity on my part, but knowing her she may prefer asmodian purely based on their dark looks.

Thanks for your help, by the way.

**Pyree** · 2011-05-31 19:20

I'm not really sure, I just came back to the game about a week ago for 2.5, was away for almost 2 months. I'm on Siel, and it was very elyos-dominated before I went on break, now it seems like the asmos are pretty strong and elyos don't show up to things anymore. It would probably be a really balanced server if both sides participated equally. I think overall asmos are still behind elyos. They recently started faction incentives for rolling asmo on a couple of servers to try to encourage new players to start asmos there. Looking at the page again, this is probably why suddenly asmos have the numbers to take forts on Siel... XD
http://forums.na.aiononline.com/na/s...ad.php?t=59591

But yeah, from that it sounds like Zikel and Siel are the two servers that they decided were too elyos-heavy before, and Vaizel and Israphel I guess are balanced enough for them. I have no first-hand experience outside of Siel though.

Not that much information I know >.< but hopefully it helps you a little...

**Casey_** · 2011-05-31 19:43

Oh the incentive programs actually worked? I saw them, and that's enough input for me to pick that server. It should level off in the end, I would imagine. Thanks for your input.

**Pyree** · 2011-05-31 20:42

Well, the reason I say asmos probably show up now is because they added the new eternal pvp gear which takes a bajillion platinum medals. Platinum medals are pretty difficult to come by, at least in the quantity you need for the eternals... And asmos on the targetted servers are getting 2 medals per fort cap every week. That's a LOT easier than any of the other ways to get them, so I'm assuming that's why they're showing up now. Jumping all over those platinum medals.

**Katlan** · 2011-09-27 12:24

Lets see if anybody really still looks at this sub-forum.

I'm almost to the miragents weapon quest and I dinged to 51 finishing my the last 4 medals I need so I can no longer do B-dredg or w/e. I read that you can get it from the C-dredg boss and from a world spawn boss in abyss next to Miren by the broken dredg ship. So my question is...

How hard is the C-dredg boss in regular groups? I wouldn't do quick entry but I see a lot of shouts for "afk dredg" and stuff. Would I have a better chance finishing the quest from C-dredg boss even though I'm 51 (would like the weapon before 55), or the world boss Captain Mituna? And how hard is Capt Mituna and how many people would I need? I read some posts of ppl saying it needs 2 full alliances and stuff and he is the 2nd hardest boss in the game... while others say they can duo him w/ a healer at 55, but can't tell if they are trolling or not. Thanks!

**Tortalius** · 2011-09-27 14:33

The captain shouldn't be that bad for C dredge, but you'll want a team that's aiming to kill him.

I know nothing about the world spawn version.

**Trichocyst** · 2011-09-27 15:02

The world boss version is cake. I've easily duo'd it with all kinds of variations. Just pull him, leash off his adds, and kill him straight up. Drag him to the Klaw area so you don't get any more adds.

Yea, any chain + dps combo can kill mituna without much trouble. He's about equal in strength to the b.dredge captain.

**Katlan** · 2011-09-27 18:29

thanks for the input. Sounds like I'll just camp him or leech a kill. Unless I get lucky and some 55's want to take a 51 ranger to dredg w/ em for a capt run

**Trichocyst** · 2011-09-27 19:54

Just solo'd Mituna on cleric for my Miragents. It's very easy.

**Katlan** · 2011-09-29 00:01

how much crit do rangers go for now at 55? i guess the soft cap is no longer 440

**Corwen** · 2011-09-29 00:22

People who are decked out in +10/15 armor and eternal pvp accs have anywhere around 250-380 strike resist, which subtracts from your crit total, so you'll probably want to be at 750+ after buffs to combat it for PvP purposes.

In PvE, you can still run around the soft cap safely, as far as I know mobs do not have strike resist.
