Seven Things You Need to Know About Aion

 

1.Money

 

The currency of Atreia is Aion Kinah and you use it for everything from teleportation to getting your soul healed. Kinah is awarded for quests and also drops from mobs. Aion comes with quite a gold sink though, with teleportation from Sanctum or Pandemonium costing on average between 800-1400 Kinah, depending on where you want to go. Fortunately the average mob drop is around 200-400 Kinah, depending on levels. 

 

2.Soul Binding and Soul Healing

 

Everyone has a soul, your avatar included. Souls can be bound to special Obelisks which serve both as a bind and resurrection point within the game. These magnificent statues will have an NPC called a Soul Healer next to them who will be able to offer Soul Healing, post level six, that will restore lost XP after you die. The catch is you can only bind to one Obelisk at a time (it also costs money) and Soul Healing gets more expensive each time you use it. So make sure you bind at the town nearest to where you are questing and try not to die!

 

3.Legions

 

Legions are basically guilds but with a levelling aspect. You can pay money to level the Legion up and get benefits like a snazzy cloak and logo. They also come with banks – called warehouses – where you can stash loot and, of course, there are the other perks of playing with people, instant groups and social fun. Join one if you can!

 

4.Making money

 

Since Kinah is all important, you'll want to make as much of it as you can. So start gathering herbs at level one and sell whatever trash or drops you don't need. You can also set up your own store if you want and advertise money. By the time you Ascend, you should have around 10,000 Kinah saved up. You should spend some of this on expanding your Cube though as it makes questing much easier and means you can carry more. You also can buy the Kinah from 3zoom:)

 

5.Surviving in Atreia

 

Always pack the following essentials: potions to restore mana and health, buff food and Manastones (which increase your stats). Don't forget to change your title depending on your class and spec. Also bind often or you'll face a long run and use potions and bandages during and after a fight. The less you die, the cheaper it will be in the long run.

 

6.Aion Abyss point:

 

Collecting Abyss points is like collecting honor. You earnAbyss points when you kill other players and Balaur. These points determine your PvP rank, which is effectively your badge of honor. There are a limited number of slots for each rank, so not only do you have to earn enough points to qualify, you need to remain competitive while you’re playing to keep the rank. On top of that, Abyss Points can be exchanged for new gear, in turn lowering your rank.

 

7.PvPvE Platform

 

Before level 25, Aion is a PvE game. If you’re getting into Aion solely for the PvP, prepare to wait a while. The main PvP zone (and endgame) is the Abyss and is level bound to only those above 25. Before that, it’s possible to engage in PvP through rifts (portals) that open throughout the world and transport players into enemy territories. Aion has a solid PvE aspect to it. If you liked WoW’s leveling game, you’ll probably like Aion’s.
