Aion 8.0 EU

I´m kinda enjoying 8.0 now. This never applied to any other patch since 6.0 to me.

- New gear is tradable(you can gather for friends and friends for you and trade it sooner or later)

- Twinking is easier than never with the 8.0 free gearing on every character and the instant level 80 character(only once). VERY fast kinah and starlight gems.

- You can make starlight accs quicker

- Most quests on the new map aren´t required to do, basically only the ones for gear and for sacred water.

- No AP or other ressources needed for farming new gear

- Sacred water is tradable

- Wrapping tools are tradable

- World boss and instance for more gear(world boss is still questionable though, since everyone rolls just on everything)

- EXP insignia are a lot easier/faster to get

- Not really much more new RNG stuff gear/stat wise. Just new armor and weapon so as the new lords relic system(which is no RNG though and accessable for everyone) and maybe the new pledge system(sure, RNG but hard to say if it´s bad or not currently).

- Generally things are more accessable for everyone due to the +15 helper gear and +9 stigmas so as the daevanion skill chests(select)

- Only new armor and weapon need to be enchanted(enchantment stones) and only once(it´s for both pve and pvp). Everything else can´t be enchanted or has another type of enchantment(glyphs, odians, runes).

The only bad thing i see now is still the stigmas and daevanion skills. Still takes ages to +15/improve. Also some things of the pros lasts only for some time(event?) so time will tell... but i think 8.0 is a better update then 6.0 - 7.9 but still not a super good update or so. It just compensates mistakes from 6.0 - 7.9 but comes way too late.

better than 6.0 for sure but while some systems got better... others that is wasting our time were added.

besides skills and stigmas +15... relic system is not fast or easy. you still need tons of rare form collections to be competitive in pvp. you still need 3 s grade minions. platinum boss cubes are still rare. getting the weapon... jorgoth or a nice enchanted extreme weapon is still very rng.

i mean those are goals to work towards but this game still require more hours per day than a day has.

with the current system of gear it's possible that you will never get your gear parts on your own... since there are so many classes and you can get duplicates for your class or others. wrapping system is the savior but not really... it will be so rare to see parts on broker... with this amount of wrappings. so even if you put work into the game... you're still bound to not get what you need.

How did you farm your gear back then? Without doing instances?

i farmed pvp gear first... weapons armors and accs all +15. except the enchants part the rest was no rng... you know how many fragments you get every week and so on.

i did the instances... all of them. and no i didn't finish my pve gear by the time the next big patch arrived. i had to rely on the crafted gear... made it +15 and call it a day. before doing instances i farmed full set of pandora. yea... instances gear... raging whatever (renamed ambush) was quite the troll.

i thought spike gear was a troll patch but this one is next level troll from ncsoft. and farming gear and enchanting is not the end... you have to hunt forever for the perfect skills on it.

the new instance is also not very casual friendly. You need 2 supports. So we have a full group, but only with 1 support, we are forced to kick one out to do the instance.....very sad

Can we please increase limit on items u buy from traders that spawn in Apsharanta, cant buy anything important even at 6am as everythings sold out instantly

In Apsharanta there is a quest for A4 minion contract, so after the kerub event will end, there will still remain a source for this item - for everyone just still missing his own S minion.

any update on the kinah limit Galeas i asked also on discord and no reply , kinah limit went form 450kk to 300kk atm, it will stay like this? or

ty

For those that don´t know. The Kinah limit shifted to lvl 85, i tested it myself a few moments ago, since i couldn´t sell anything on my lvl 83 char.

Whats the quest name or where can i take it (which base)?

the minion is A rank (lvl 1) so u get alot of them anyway it doesnt matter at all for gettin S rank it has to be lvled..

Hey,

Well after one week of 8.0 i realy enjoy playing this Patch. Most of the content can be done by everyone, ok some quests should be done in a good dps group. (Named Kill Quests) Elyos and asmo most of the time ignores each other, exept when Pledge and wrapping NPC spawns. IMO there should be more NPC spawning at the same time. 3 for example at different spots each time, so no one can Camp the Locations.

This leads me to the next topic, quick travel in Apsuranta is a mess. Only 3 possible Teleporter to Garnison without a possibility to travel Back Form there. No Air streams No flight Teleporter this is a big Problem in my oppinion.

Worldboss RAID... Well my PC cannot handle this 😂 but thats an other Story.

Out of good RNG i got 2 Parts for my Class Out of 4 i receved.

I will See how this will Work this week.

Greetings

You know skills are amazing.i love the new combat system.And thx god no more shit leveling for 3 months to max lvl.But the patch seems boring and i dont find many players.So i guess the game its doom.

PVP seems to have gone out the window as most of the time in the new map each side just leaves each other alone to get on with there quests.

tbh, if we had to fight each time we meet someone from the opposite faction, we wouldn't do any quest ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

it's painful enough that you have to do these tedious quests like every day for a long time...

i thought it was weird seeing months ago that koreans ignore each other on this map... but here we go.

Well, tbh if you look for pvp(solo) just go lakrum or red katalam^^ it´s always a selfrunner like Dreds/Runa. Ofc you can just kill anyone you encounter in aphsaranta too, no one stops you from doing so. Sooner or later more and more people will attack you again anyway.

Also you can´t say you find many players, Aphsaranta is always full of players, except maybe on raid times and the times where most people are working. Maybe you don´t find people who join your group if you pre-open a group before you start stuff but that´s because people don´t care for pre groups and only join or fill groups at the quest spot they are doing currently. That´s how things work since red katalam.

Most Aspharanta quests are trash and you actually don´t have to do 90% of quest there, lol. There are only a few quests for gear or sacred water, everything else is just a troll(to make people waste their time somehow thinking they are doing something worth to do <_<). So you don´t have to do those "tedious" quests all day. Just quick travel through conquered areas with new quests(not recieved) here and there to make them pop up automatically and check if there are any useful quests(gear, sacred water).

i love the new combat system.

What new combat system? You mean the changes in your personal gameplay because of dp skill changes? Not really changing much imo, though it depends on the class i guess.

, especially when such pro pvp player runs to his guards :p and then he is doing a pvp on a perma stunned enemy, or this perma debuff - defence redu when the defence is 0 (read: pure zero) for 5s time period ...

So far im happy with 8.0 aside from one major thing. This Worldboss, when i read that bigger legions go for ego-mode because the loot is far from enough for everyone. Just plain stupid and not thought through at all. In addition Elyos easily outnumber the asmos on all servers that adds up to it.

Is there any info regarding the release date of 8.2 patch for us?

Would make quests less annoying in Aphsa due to having increased named/miniboss and quest object spawn rate ,and a crafting recipe that would let us craft rng armor boxes and so on.
