lousiest September 15, 2009 Share lousiest Member September 15, 2009 (edited) Mostly to make it easier for myself to find these links, and hopefully be of some use to everyone who's playing the game. If you find any good stuff (especially if you've played in the closed and open Betas) feel free to add to this 1. Getting started KFGuides' Aion Beginner Guide - Explains the core concepts of the game Gliding - Basically when to press "W" and when not to to maximize glide time. Wish I had known this earlier Gathering Enchancments, manastones and godstones Titles 2. Once you've obtained your wings Crafting - Only available once you've completed your Ascension quest and gain access to the capital city Stigma stones 3. On reaching the Abyss Thulf's Abyss guide - Explains fortresses, sieges, Abyss Points, Abyss Ranks Tips for PvP'ing. Also, here's a list of what abnormal statuses (sleep, stun, etc) can and cannot be cured (and why Clerics fare better in this dept) 4. Stuff I wish I knew earlier Enemy status bar explained - So that's what those dots meant Macros - Scripting mechanism in Aion. Very easy to use Avoiding unwanted PvP All you need to know about wings - You get better wings at higher levels! Level up your gethering skills - Totally ignored this during Beta. Thankfully we had Chen 5. Game mechanics Base stats - Each class comes with a fixed, i.e they don't increase as you level, set of base stats. This guide is still incomplete though Character stats, XP, DP explained - How grouping affects XP gained, what role stats play, etc How attack damage is calculated - How attack-manastones and weapon enhancing come into play Maximizing DPS - If you're only stacking physical-crit- and/or attack-manastones Finally, I found the class forums at AionSource to be quite informative. The mechanic analysis forum is also very interesting (read: less complaining). *** Credit goes to the author of these guides *** Edited September 16, 2009 by lousiest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest September 17, 2009 Author Share lousiest Member September 17, 2009 (edited) The 1.6 (though some say it's 1.5.0.6) patch notes are as follows: Items 1. There's now a low chance of getting metal poisoning every time a player attempts to collect ore (to prevent bot farming ) Metal poisoning can be cured by using 'Chant of Purification' Chant of Purification can be used by entering the prompted combination of numbers and letters You will be given a total of 3 chances to enter the combination correctly If a player fails all three attempts, the character won't be able to collect any more ore for an extended period of time 2. In order to prevent any more accidents with item extraction tool, we have made several changes. Item extraction tool's icon has been changed. Using the automatically align function in the inventory will move the extraction to the first cell The progress bar of extraction tool will now be shown as red Equipped items cannot be extracted UI 1.

lousiest September 17, 2009 Author Share lousiest Member September 17, 2009 (edited) Fix for High Ping There is a popular ping program, called Leatrix Latency Fix (site also gives a simple explanation of what the program does), that is used by WoW players that also seems to have gotten favorable responses from the Aion community. The program comes with both an "installer" and an "uninstaller". Just FYI if you're having lag issues. Use with discretion.

Unclean September 17, 2009 Share Unclean Member September 17, 2009 Oh weird. I'll have to try out that Latency Fix if there's lag at launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
