I'll be back on in a couple days, away for some work stuff. We really need to get either the old Goon legion up or a new one started. What are the costs to start a legion?

The PvP EC instances are great! And they really represent the PvPvE spirit of Aion. You can kill other players, but collecting bonus items or killing mobs is useful, too. So you always have to think what to do next. The bonus item give each arena a unique feel and type of conflict. I love it.Blorknorg posted:So I purchased this sometime in the past, and I'm going to give it a try once it finishes downloading. I noticed it has an RAF system and I haven't yet created the account.

The 1v1 arenas are an exercise in futility though. First fight: Me vs level 55 asmo gladiator with +10 elite pvp 50 set and +15 lvl 55 weapon. Could kill me in 3-4 seconds and his silence godstone procced every time before I died. I never once had the ability to break holds. Second fight: Me vs level 55 cleric, similar type of gear, similar results. Third fight: level 55 elyos ranger. no pvp gear, some level 40-50 gold gear, so about evenly matched. Murdered the sweet jesus out of him, even on the flying volcano level (because he kept flying into lava). Didn't die to them at all but came very close a few times. It'll probably be more fun 1v1 once I'm geared to some extent. Going to try the group arena and see if it goes any better. My only concern is getting as many medals as possible to gear up when I hit 55. Just hit 53 today so maybe in a few weeks I'll be 55 and have enough stuff to gear up somewhat. It looks like, when conditioned, the eternal EC pvp gear might be the best pvp gear as far as damage increases/reductions go, wouldn't it?

Stupid Newbie question: What is 30e/40e/50e? They keep mentioning it in the Chanter channel. Also, I'm nearing 33, and I have money. Should I buy the Silver coins to get the gold 36 set? Or should I just get the blue rank 5 set, and maybe the gold staff? Right now I've got full blue rank 7 gear and I made a thing as soon as I hit 25: Yeah, it cost a bit of money. Not too much, maybe like 3.5m total to buy it, upgrade it and put stones in the stuff. But gently caress me it has been a fun past 7 levels destroying stuff in seconds.

Right now I've got full blue rank 7 gear and I made a thing as soon as I hit 25: Ask all the newbie questions to your hearts content! Don't hesitate. That's the PvP elite sets. Those are the most expensive and naturally best PvP items for their respective level. 40e for example is pretty fast to get and already a respectable PvP set. The blue coin gear is way cheaper than the gold coin gear. And it's perfectly fine if you upgrade it every 5 levels. Only at level 51 you should buy the gold coin gear. It's a pretty big chunk of money, but worth it! Enchanting items on lower levels is really worth it, since the enchantment stones are so cheap. The enchantment doesn't scale with the item level though. +10 on a level 10 white weapon gives the exact same bonus values as +10 on a level 55 eternal grade weapon. So take care and don't throw your money out of the window. At level 55 the difference between +0 and +10 is still noticeable but not exactly big. Evil Fluffy posted:The 1v1 arenas are an exercise in futility though. 1vs1 is over fast and you get to enter faster, too. I always play the group and the 1vs1 arena, since both are useful learning opportunities. Free for all is much more hilarious though. Cloth and leather get focused and killed instantly, chain is ignored and plate is bulldozing through everyhting. It's chaotic and everyone gets ganked by everyone else. Eternal EC gear is pretty good, but not as good as the eternal AP PvP gear. Hungry Gerbil fucked around with this message at 00:54 on Oct 23, 2011 |

Something to keep in mind for later: the first soft-cap for crit strike is at 440 and the second one is at 600. After reaching the first or second crit cap you should switch to attack or hp stones.

Eternal AP gear, you mean the non-set level 55 stuff, or a different set of gear coming in 3.0? It looks like the conditioned high end EC gear would be pretty solid. My current plan is to save up for one of the weapons and use that then eventually armsfuse it to something better, like a vorpal/SW polearm.

Who can I bother for an invite to the guild? I've been levelling Shellaris (sorcerer) and just hit 10 so I can finally actually send messages. I assume it's a bit late at the moment, but hopefully can snag an invite tomorrow.

The big differences are the number of slots and the upkeep costs of the level 2 conditioning. Level 2 conditioning costs about 14 million kinah every two weeks as far as I know.

Well, those are an alternative to mist gear for the fast leveler. But you should just save them for now. The daily quests of this faction are very easy. (Sometimes you need level appropriate gathering skills though.) And you can exchange them for other factions' tokens at level 50+. From level 50 on there are two more factions, a PvP and a PvE faction. They give various nice rewards. The most important ones are the AP relict rewards from the PvP faction. Read those pages, they are very important: Elysean factions: http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Fortuneers http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Orichalcum%20Key http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Radiant+Ops http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Alabaster+Order http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/kaisinel%20academy Asmodean faction: http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Charlirunerk%27s+Daemons http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/The%20Circle http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Blood+Crusade http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Field+Wardens http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/marchutan%20priory Faction token conversion: http://gameguide.na.aiononline.com/aion/Token+Conversion Red87 posted:I'll be back on in a couple days, away for some work stuff.

Tsurupettan posted:What are these KHQ grind groups I keep seeing? You earn good XP and the elite mobs there (Kaidan HQ) drop Krall molars. I think the main motivation is to get boots with 20% run speed. They are the lowest level equip with run speed as far as I know. Selling Krall molars is also pretty profitable. http://www.aionarmory.com/item.aspx?id=186000028

There groups to farm Kadian HQ Elites, there worth a good amount of experience. An awful lot if you can solo them. Honestly there the best power level tool from 35-40. There are also a bunch of kill quests for the region as well. Just be sure to hit your glide correctly when training to the higher level area or you'll end up burned to death in the lava. Also there's some nice mini-bosses up that way. Honestly molars aren't worth that much anymore and if you want shoes I recommend buying cheap expert ones off the broker (even the blues).

Well not at the moment at my tabletop game right now.. But the key to it, is making sure the plever (the 55 guy) does no damage to the target, not even IJ. The other method is using a high level cleric to heal you out of party. If the high level person hits it even once the exp is reduced dramticaly. Also there is a restriction to worry about: Mobs defense vs the low levels ability to do damage.

Ugh, ran FT a couple times thinking 'gently caress yeah, time for some awesome exp'. Nope, pretty lovely compared to what I can do solo while questing. Something like 25k-30k exp for most of the mobs in a full group, the stuff in Heiron on-level is worth the same and dies in a fraction of the time. I don't even know if it's worth doing FT to get the gold gear from the event. I got my staff on the second run, at least. I am hoping for good things from the solo instance at 37, though.  e: While I'm here, can anyone recommend some Stigma choices for my chanter?

And of course, Asmos still have the coolest wings.  So, I hit 36 and I got my gold quality silver coin staff, fused the Kromede staff into it and upped it to +10 (in one go, too! lucky me!). Jesus christ it's like a new game all over again, especially with the +11% attack speed. I have the FT gloves for another +3%. It's loving nuts when I pop a scroll and Word of Wind, it's five minutes of melting mobs instantly. I definitely chose the right class, especially after seeing the chanter channel rave about how much rear end we kick in the 1v1 arena.

I can't believe a disconnect closes the client (still) instead of dumping you to the main menu. That is infuriating when it's nothing but a lag spike, making you take an extra couple minutes to load back in instead of 30 seconds. I may or may not have missed a boss loot roll because of this.
