  • New level 55

    Hi I'm new level 55 (Aion Classic) and wondered what I should do first for gearing up. Could someone explain where I should be aiming for and how to get there. I asked in chat but people messaged back with a crazy amount of different suggestions and was overwhelmed. I have like a million blue quests on my map, loads of different types of currency, medals, points, coins. Not sure what it is to focus on


    I did the solo crucible challenge and got platinum medal fragments. I saw that the Platinum medals can get you gear in sanctum/pandemonium, but also need a load of abyss points so unsure what to do as I don't have enough abyss points for even 1 item. All the groups for the level 55 dungeons ask for GG, so I'm out straight away as I am in SR stuff still


    I am assuming there is some daily type stuff I can do to get some decent gear in order to be useful in end game dungeons, but not sure what it is. I saw someone mention doing the 1 vs 1 PVP daily to get gear, but I was hoping that there is another way without PVP as I suck at it


    Any info is helpful, or even a link to another topic or website


    I am basically looking for someone to point me where I go first... e.g. daily's for this currency, handed in at this NPC


    Thanks in advance

  • Drop rate / Kinah farming

    I agree, Aion is now so tough to make kinah. I have played since release of Aion... yes i'm old. I have the metal collectors edition from when it was subscription based. I have played 100's of MMO's, just in case someone thinks I don't know what I am talking about


    The fact that there is limited ways to make any decent amount of Kinah. This will negatively effect the game. Plain and simple


    My humble opinion from someone that has played MMO's for 30 years -


    Imagine your new... When you get to max level and realise your not gonna get the Kinah you need to slowly progress your character, you simply stop playing Aion and play something else. It's that simple. People won't invest time in a game if you can't progress your character, and you need Kinah to do it so people will just leave


    Option 2 is to buy Kinah from sellers, which is ironically what they were trying to reduce and failed epically


    Option 3: use in game currency from micro transactions ONTOP of game pass. This is obviously not sustainable. People may buy the odd bit here and there, but I guarantee most people won't regularly buy in game currency to continually progress a character, you can't tie progression to in game currency... as we all know


    Option 4: stay and play the game anyway, I think a small amount of people will do this regardless of the state of the game. They will continue to defend it with comments that don't address the issues


    I'm not suggesting the game should be over simplified as that will also hurt the game, just that it needs tweaking. Not that anyone will address it lol
