[Aion] Padmarashka First NA & EU kill!

2011-06-18T20:46:00.003-04:00

We did it!

The interview was posted on Aion website Eye on Community!

Padmarashka Slain!

On Friday, June 17, SunShine of New Zikel successfully took down Padmarashka with 70 Legion members. This marks the very first Padmarashka kill in the North American and European Union servers. Here are some insiders’ views on the leadership and behind-the-scenes planning that led to this accomplishment.
Congratulations on the very first NA/EU Padmarashka kill. We would like to hear your thoughts on this boss fight. How long has SunShine been planning the assault? Why did you decide to go after Padmarashka?
Amphictyonis: We’ve been planning this since the 2.0 release. As a Legion, we’ve already experienced most of the other large-scale boss fights, so making this one of SunShine’s goals was an easy choice. Personally, I’ve been paying close attention to Sematariux and Padmarashka ever since the 2.0 patch notes were released. When I found out that Padmarashka was taken down on the Korean servers, I started to gather information about the Korean raid. With help from some of our Legion members, we managed to find the information we needed for our Padmarashka raid.

This wasn’t the first time you targeted Padmarashka. What made the raid successful this time?
Komori: Yes, we made two previous attempts. This time, we were able to bring out three full Alliances, which made it easier to lead the raid. Also, all of the SunShine members were well prepared this time and knew their roles.
How would you rate the Padmarashka battle relative to other bosses you’ve fought?
Arisaka: To be honest, it was a shockingly easy battle. Initially, we had some problems killing the adds Padmarashka spawned. At first, we couldn’t kill them fast enough before another set spawned, but once we moved the adds, we were able to recover. When Padmarashka got down to 10 percent, some of our members were getting too excited. I was a little fearful that we might wipe because of all of the excitement.

What was the biggest surprise you faced during the battle?
Soji: Well, SunShine's first two attempts on Padmarashka weren't too successful, so I was surprised we killed it this time. I think Amphictyonis did a great job of finalizing our strategy. Komori took command of everyone in the raid to make sure everything we needed to do was executed. Of course, we had a few setbacks before getting started: people showing up late, random disconnects, a few Elyos entering Padmarashka’s cave with us and locking out some of our Legion members. There was also a group or two of Asmodians that came in mid-fight, but overall the battle was really fun and we're looking forward to fighting Sematariux.

How were the groups set up for each Alliance? Did each Alliance have its own function?
Glorie: Groups were established based on the role they’d play during the raid.
The first Alliance’s job was mainly to tank Padmarashka, so its first party consisted of two tanks, two Clerics, and a Chanter, with an identical secondary group for backup in case the two primary tanks died.
Our second Alliance setup used balanced groups similar to instance parties, with a tank, a Cleric, a Chanter, and some dps classes. They focused on holding aggro on any adds that spawned from the eggs if our dps was too low.
The third Alliance consisted purely of dps classes. Their goal was to maintain dps wherever we needed them. They also grabbed aggro on the exploding orbs that spawned during the raid and lured them away from the raid members to minimize deaths.

What lessons did you learn from this battle?
Taper: The most important thing we learned is that even with a boss encounter of this size, it’s still best done with one Legion rather than several Legions together. It’s much easier to coordinate and organize this kind of battle with one Legion. I was also impressed with my Legion mates' performance throughout the entire raid. We had to make some adjustments on the fly that contributed to the success of the raid. Not enough can be said about the hard work and effort by Amphictyonis to plan and set up this raid, but I am very pleased with the execution of the game plan by everyone.

Finally, what’s next for SunShine? Are you going to attempt to take down Sematariux?
Komori: Yes, Sematariux is next on the list for SunShine. We’re currently farming the Sematariux keys to go for our first attempt soon.

Got my first TAC eternal today!

(I would've got 2 now if I didn't buy two pets and 1 dress)

A lot of people are asking how long the Conditioning last for each charge so I did a test.

I went into Taloc instance and did a full clear run.

Took me about 30 minutes and here is what it burns down:

As the result, I'd say each charge will last for 10~12 hours of nonstop grinding.

Hope it helps you a bit!

[Guide] How to defend Balaurea Fortresses

2011-01-10T23:02:00.003-05:00

Here is a guide priovides infomation and tips you need to know regards to defending Balaurea fortresses.

Step 1. Standby @ Soteria Sanctuary

Use the Airline to teleport to the fortress that dreadgion is heading to.

The dredgion that goes to the fortresses will spawn @ only two locations as shown below:

Step 2. Kisk Up

After you teleported by using Airline, kisk up at the spot shown below:

Step 3. Return to Dux Room

There are two teleportation towers inside the fortress as shown below.

NEVER USE FORTRESS GATE TO GET INSIDE DUX ROOM

First Teleportation Tower:

Second Teleportation Tower:

This is the only proper way to get inside Dux room.

(The reason is that the fortress gate cannot block Balaur from following you inside)

Step 4. Waiting on Commander, Acolyte, and other Balaur adds to spawn

After you kisk up, teleport back into Dux room, stand at outer side of the dux room so when Balaur adds spawns, your alliance gets less aggro.

The commander will spawn right in front of Dux.

All other DPS will find the Acolytes inside the Dux room and kill it.

Acolytes spawn as shown below:

At 25%, Acolytes will spawn an Earth Spirit that heals Acolytes. Kill it first then kill Acolytes.

Step 5. Kill the Commander

The Commader has 20% more health than Dux.

After the Acolytes is killed, everyone will focus DPS on Commander only.

The Commander will be killed by reflex as long as we do 25% DPS on Dux.

DONE!

Key notes to successfully defend a fortress:

1. No one trains the Acolytes from outside.

(There are 5 Acolytes total inside the fortress. Acolytes heals Commander for 25% each cast)

2. Having enough of DPS to take down 20% of the Commander health.

[Aion] Korean PTS: Initial 2.5 Patch Notes

2011-01-06T03:06:00.005-05:00

Korean PTS: Initial 2.5 Patch Notes

View Edit History | PowerWiki Home

Instances

1.Added 2 new instances. The Kaisinel Academy and the Marchutan Academy are lifelong educational institutions where the Empyrean Lords instill in their followers the virtues and battle skills appropriate to a Daeva. Until now, only enrolled Daevas were required to attend bootcamp, but after the mixed results of the initial assault on Balaurea, the Empyrean Lords knew they had to step up their game, and opened the doors of the Kaisinel Academy Bootcamp and the Marchutan Academy Bootcamp to regular Daevas. The Bootcamp, which can be entered by both Elyos and Asmodians, is a PvE battlefield designed to develop a Daeva’s skills, with the incentive of many brand new reward items in the Cloister of Kaisinel and the Convent of Marchutan.

The Academy Bootcamp is a new type of instance in which you defeat wave after wave of monsters in a circular arena.
There are a total of 10 steps, of 5 rounds each. More powerful opponents appear at each step.
There are no quest requirements for the Academy Bootcamp; any character of level 50 or above can enter, if they are in a group.
In Sanctum and Pandaemonium, teleport via statue to the Kaisinel Academy or the Marchutan Academy, and you can access the Academy Bootcamp from there. From Inggison and Gelkmaros, you can use the Academy Bootcamp Teleport NPC.
Outside the arena, but still within the Bootcamp instance, there is a waiting room where Daevas resurrect after death.
Daevas who enter before training begins will go directly to the arena, but latecomers will appear in the waiting room.
Each step is completed when all monsters are defeated. Proceed to the next step by talking to the training recordkeeper in the center of arena.
A Daeva in the waiting room can get into the arena by using a "Consolidation Ticket" which you can obtain during the training.
The ’Consolidation Ticket’ can be traded, but it disappears if you exit the instance, log out character selection, or quit the game.
All group members obtain the same number of points for defeating monsters regardless of how much damage they did.
The training will end if all characters in the arena die or you complete all the steps of the training. You will be rewarded with "Academy Insignia" depending on your score.
Characters can stop the training and exit through the Stop Training button located in the upper right of the screen.
Some skills and items cannot be used in the Academy Bootcamp.
The re-entry cooldown for the Academy Bootcamp is 22 hours.

Araka Farm produces 50% of Drana in Tiamat’s territory, and plays a vital role in providing stable resources to Tiamat’s army Surama, a Drakan from a high ranking family, recently took over as Managing Director, and increased production dramatically by switching over from general plants and trees to using Elim as a Drana source. Furthermore, it seems that Surama is power-hungry, and is using his position to perform bio experiments using dragel. We must stop the flow of drana to Tiamat’s Army and end Surama’s plotting.

Various secrets are hidden in Araka. Because of its close connection to the Reian Tribe, tribe members may provide very important information about the dungeon, so pay close attention to the Reians’ conversation.
There are no quest requirements for Araka; any character of level 50 or above can enter, if they are in a group.
In order to access Araka, each race must control its own camp’s Balaurea fortress. Upon conquering, a Dimensional Gate will appear beside the special ordnance quartermaster for the Elyos and the fortress quartermaster for the Asmodians.
There are four entrances, but (as with Dark Poeta) they all lead to the same instance.
The re-entry cooldown for Araka is 22 hours.

2.Reduced the difficulty level of the ’Draupnir Cave’ instance, and adjusted the conditions causing the final boss monster, Commander Bakarma, to appear.
Commander Bakarma will now appear only after players have defeated all the sub bosses: Instructor Afrane, Beautiful Lakshmi, Kind Saraswati, and Commander Nimbarka.
Decreased the number of monsters inside Draupnir Cave.
Decreased the stats of monsters inside Draupnir Cave.
Changed some of Commander Bakarma’s battle tactics.

3.Removed the upper cap on the Nochsana Training Camp instance, so that all players from level 25 up will be able to enter it.

4.In the Kromede’s Trial instance, Butler Jeeves will no longer drop the Secret Safe Key. Access to the Kaliga Treasury through the secret vault door will be by simply defeating Butler Jeeves.

Items

1.Aded a new item enhancement system called divinity endowment.
This new enhancement can only be performed on certain items.
The item will be imbued with an effect that gives various bonuses when activated.
There are 2 possible stages of divinity endowment, and some items will only be enhanceable up to step 1.
New items have been added that will be enhanceable up to step 2.
The divinity endowment effect is consumed during depending battle (attack, defense, and skill use).
General attack and defense will consume a small amount.
With skill use, more powerful skills will consume more of the divinity endowment.
When a weapon that has been divinity endowed is used in Armsfusion, the resultant weapon will also be divinity endowed.

[Armsfusion]

The price of recharging the divinity endowment will increase with higher Divinity Endowment Steps, Item Grade, and on fused weapons

The two ways of endowing divinity are by talking to an NPC and by using a divinity endowment item.
New NPCs have been placed in the capital cities, at the Reshanta Obelisk for each race, at the Balaurea Obelisks, and in the Academy Bootcamp.

[Aion] How to reduce lag in siege

2010-06-23T19:46:00.003-04:00

Unless you have very high end video cards or even CrossFire or SLI, you will be getting lag in siege...

Since a serious siege often has more than 200 people from each side, lag is almost guaranteed.

Here is my setup during common game-play...

Here is a reduced graphic setup during the siege time...

Note that the setup can only apply after you restart the client.

I hope everyone enjoy the best part of Aion!

[Aion] Divine Fortress!

2010-06-22T21:12:00.002-04:00

Last Sunday, my server, Triniel, became the first server in Aion NA takes Divine Fortress!

It takes pretty much every Elyos to be able to achieve the goal.

The asmo did not think that we can actually take Divine fortress and went to take Miren and Kysis...

I can finally finish my Jakurerk's Shot at the Big Time and get my "Honorary Black Cloud" title which give me 5% speed!

The dredgion is glitched on Divine fortress so, no matter how high our influence ratio is, the dredgion will not take the divine fortress LOL

Many people are bitching that the only place for Abyss PvP actions and for blood farming is gone...

Well, now we can morph pretty much everything from Aether which is AWESOME.

I can turn Aether into Fresh Griffonia or Griffonia...

Aether to Major elemental stone...and a lot of others...

I only need to gather Aether in stead of going to several places to get the materials I needed!!

Here are few siege pictures I took...

Even the G.M. logged into the game after we successfully took the fortress!

Here are the drops we got today!

We still got a lot to practice to make our kill perfect...

Hopefully I can get my Tahabata's Staff

Newest update!

06/13/2010

We tried Tahabata again and were able to kill it and the adds without any death!

Even though it only dropped a blue shield for us, it is solid proof that our team is able to kill it!

Dragon Flame Shield

Here is the ScreenShot when Tahabata is killed.

Here is the ScreenShot after everything is cleared!

We are going to farm S rank as much as we can and hopefully we can get an internal weapon soon!

[Aion] Awakened Kysis Duke HD Take Two

2010-06-10T04:25:00.002-04:00

Finally! I figured out how to upload clear video with 1080p onto Youtube...

I used to render the video into .m2ts files and Youtube always degrade my video...even though my format was correct.

Here is how to upload the video without being degraded too much by Youtube.

The recording program is FRAPS ver3.2.1:11425 recording with full size 29.97 FPS

The editing program I am using is Sony Vegas Pro 9.0c.

Render the video into .wmv files and template is set to 8 Mbps HD 1080-30p Video.
Under Audio tab, make sure the attributes is 192 kbps, 48 kHz CBR.
Under Video tab, make sure the Width/Height is set to 1920^1080 with 29.97 frame rate and video smoothness set to 100 (sharpest)
Under Bit rate tab, select Internet/LAN 8M
Under Project tab, make sure the video rendering quality is set to best.

Here is the result video that I uploaded to Youtube.

The quality is still being degraded but not as much as other formats.

Click the link to watch on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrgxuHeloy8

Make sure to watch it in HD 1080p and see how it goes!

Been trying to down S rank DP for about a week now...Hopefully I can get some 1080p videos up sooner or later!

Two new costumes! (costs about 23m total...)

Also, I spent a lot of time to re-map my UI cause we finally got more spaces on the quickbars...

That's all for now. I am going to play the game first! Hehe...

[Aion] 1.9 Feature Guide

2010-05-29T02:23:00.001-04:00

Many new features have been introduced with 1.9 and a lot of existing content has received an overhaul.

Below you will find some of the key features of the 1.9 Update and how they will affect you.

Related Page: Patch Notes: 1.9.0.1

Content

Stigma

Stigmas were re-arranged to make room for the 3 new slots that will be
opened up in 2.0

Previously, if you went to a Stigma Tuner, you could find one basic Stigma per Class – for a total of 8. If that wasn’t the one you were looking for, you either had to resort to the Trade Broker and user-set prices or purchase one using your AP (Abyss Points) at the Abyss Stigma Contributor.

Now, Stigma Tuners offer a large variety of Stigmas for each class - roughly 48 per class.

Prices start out at around 400,000 for a level 20 Stigma and go up to 3.5million kinah for a level 50 Stigma.

Tuners can be found in the Capitol Cities of Sanctum and Pandaemonium near the Stigma Master and Skill Trainers.


Sanctum: Clymene offers Stigmas Level 20-50	Pandaemonium: Vergelmir offers Stigmas Level 20-50

- Advanced Stigmas
New Level 48 Stigmas have emerged for each class and are available at any Abyss Stigma Contributor. These can be found in both the capitol cities and the main landings in the Abyss (Primum and Teminon). The new stigmas cost 26,500 AP and are as follows:


Spiritmaster	Sorcerer


Cleric	Chanter


Templar	Gladiator


Assassin	Ranger

Skills

In 1.9, all Classes have been given a Remove Shock I skill at level 40 and then a subsequent chain skill at level 48. The skills can be purchased from your Skill Trainer in the Capitol City and will be extremely useful tools in PvP and hunting.

Floating Quickbar

I have too many skills for my Quickbar!

You can now enable two additional floating Quickbars that can be moved and arranged to your liking. The new Quickbar can be turned on and off from your Options menu, where you can set the Hotkeys as well.

Simply unlock your Quickbar and you can move and change the style of the Quickbar. When you’re done, lock your Quickbar again to keep it in place and hide empty slots.


1. Enable Floating Quickbar in Options	2. Arrange the Shape and Location


3. Assign the Hotkeys	4. Lock your Quickbar

Daily Quests

New Organizations have formed and are accepting members!

Daily Quests have been added and begin at level 30. When you reach levels 30 and 40, you will automatically receive an introduction Quest leading you to the recruitment officer for each organization.

Join an organization to participate in daily quests and receive rewards. For completion of these quests you will receive some EXP, a bundle item, and a token that can then be exchanged for items at various Reward Stewards. Explore your options and figure out what works best to get to your desired reward.

The second organization, which opens for enrollment at level 40, is located in the Abyss and offers rewards such as: Titles with PvP options, Abyss Relics, and Silver Medals.

Race	Join Level	Organization	Recruitment Officer	Rewards Offered by Stewards
Elyos	30	Alabaster Order	Heiron - Typhon	Rental Equipment / Temporary Titles / Bundled Items
Elyos	40	Radiant Ops	Teminon - Pompo	Wings / Silver Medal / Ancient Relics / Temporary Titles
Asmodian	30	Field Wardens	Beluslan - Deryk	Rental Equipment / Temporary Titles / Bundled Items
Asmodian	40	Blood Crusade	Primum - Viscum	Wings / Silver Medal / Ancient Relics / Temporary Titles

New Temples

New Temples and have been added to the Capitol Cities of Sanctum and Pandaemonium. To enter a Temple, use the golden Teleport Statue that has been added.

Elyos Temple Quest: Perikles’s Insight
Asmodian Temple Quest: Veldina’s Call

Currently there are not many quests you can do in the Temple, but it is nice to take a look around in advance. Later, there are important Campaigns and Quests planned for this area.

- Elyos Location


Cloister of Kaisinel - Teleporter Location	Kaisinel’s Teleport Statue

- Asmodian Location


Convent of Marchutan - Teleporter Location	New Quests will start here in future updates

Fashion

Several new hats and costumes have been introduced and are available in the Capitol Cities. The hats can be found at the Divine Accessories Vendor and the costumes are offered by the new Haute Couture Sales Associates.

While these level 51 Hats will not be wearable until after the 2.0 Update, this will give you time to pick one and save up, since they cost around 1.8 million kinah.

Two new costumes have been added for each race with no level restriction. The price of the new costumes may take your breath away though, as they are going for roughly 14 million kinah.
Keep in mind that while a costume is only one item, the look is replacing that of your chest piece, pants, gloves, shoes, and pauldrons. Looking at it that way makes the pricing seem a little less steep.

So, get out your favorite appearance armor and go remodel!

Enchanting and Socketing

You can now enchant weapons that are Heroic class or higher to +15. Of course, being higher in level, you’ll need a good bit of luck and kinah to accomplish it. To help make this task more achievable, Enchant Assisting Materials (Supplements) have been introduced in the 1.9 update.

Supplements increase the success rate of enchanting and socketing and can be purchased from a Potion Supplies or Remodeled Items Vendor.

If you attempt to enchant an item or socket a manastone while Supplements are in your Inventory, a Supplements window will appear.


Enchant Item Window	+15 Weapon

Armsfusion

You can now combine two-handed weapons to transfer some of the attributes of one item to another.

Greatswords, polearms, orbs, spellbooks, staffs, and bows are all two-handed weapons that can now be combined. Combining weapons transfers some of the Secondary weapon’s stats, options, and all manastone slots to the Primary weapon. The Secondary weapon is destroyed in the combining process and must be of equal or lower level than the Primary weapon. The combining process can also be undone, restoring the primary weapon to its original state.

Facts about Armsfusion and Armsbreaking:
Both Primary and Secondary must be the same weapon type
After fusion, weapons cannot be sold, traded, or stored
The Secondary weapon must be equal or lower level than the Primary
The Secondary weapon is destroyed and lost forever
The fused weapon can be broken to recover the Primary weapon to its original state. This is called Armsbreaking.

What carries over?

10% of the Attack (Melee or Magic) value of the Secondary weapon
Any stat bonus from the secondary weapon that the primary does not have already
Any stat bonus from the Secondary weapon that is better than what the primary already has
Manastone sockets from BOTH weapons
Socketed Manastones from BOTH weapons
The Godstone from the Primary weapon is kept. If the Secondary weapon has a Godstone it will be destroyed
Maintains the appearance of the Primary Weapon

Patch Notes: 1.9.0.1

Items

1. Armsfusion is a new system for combining two-handed weapons.

[Armsfusion screen]

[A fused weapon]

Two-handed weapons such as greatswords, polearms, staffs, spellbooks, orbs, and bows can be fused.
Each city’s remodeling shop has an Armsfusion Officer NPC who can fuse your weapons.

  In order to fuse your weapons, the target weapon must be of a higher or equal level to the secondary weapon’s item level. Also, the two weapons must be of the same type.
  The Armsfusion process has the following effects:
       Basic stats: 10% of the secondary weapon’s basic attack power and 10% of its magic boosting power are added to the main weapon. Any stats that are lower on the secondary weapon will not be changed.
       Options: The secondary weapon’s options are added to the main weapon. The higher vales for attack speed, casting speed, and PVP attack power increasing options will be kept.
       Manastone slots: The secondary weapon’s Manastone slots are added to the main weapon, including any Manastones that are socketed in them.
       Socketed Godstones are only transferred from the Primary weapon (even if only the secondary weapon has a Godstone socketed)
  The Manastone slots from the two fused weapons remain distinct so you can socket each one separately. For example, when an attempt to socket a Manastone in one of the main weapon’s original sockets fails, the remaining main weapon’s Manastones disappear, but the secondary weapon’s Manastones remain intact.
  When socketing Manastones on a fused weapon, a socketing screen appears from which players can select either the original Manastone slot or one of the slots that was added by the secondary weapon.

  A fused weapon cannot be traded or stored in account or legion warehouses.
  The fusion process destroys the secondary weapon.
  Players can undo the fusion process by speaking with the Armsfusion Officer NPC and selecting the Armsbreaking option. The primary weapon will once again become tradable and storable.
  Weapons destroyed in the fusion process are not restored when Armsbroken.

2. A socketing supplement, which greatly increases the enchantment stone and Manastone-socketing success rate, has been added.
  The socketing supplement has three versions: lesser, regular, and greater. The socketing rate bonus increases with better grade supplements.
  Lesser socketing supplements can be purchased from the Item Remodeller and the Medicine Merchant in Sanctum, Eltnen, Heiron, Pandaemonium, Morheim, and Beluslan.
  The regular and greater supplements are not yet available, but will be added in a later patch.
  Players who have socketing supplements in their cube when attempting to socket an enchantment stone or Manastone will see a screen allowing them to select the particular stone and supplement they wish to use.
  Players who do not have supplements in their cube will continue the socketing process without a socketing screen, except in the case of socketing a Manastone into a fused two-handed weapon. That process always displays a socketing screen.

3. Class items’ max socketing value has been increased from +10 to +15.
  Socketing from +1 ~ +10 has the same success rate as before.
  From +11, the success rate is lower.
  When socketing fails at +11~+15, the value falls back to +10.
  This only refers to items that have the “[class name] only” tag in the item description.

4. Strengthening armor with an enchantment stone will result in an increased physical defense, HP, and physical critical resistance rate bonuses.
  The increased stat does not appear at +0 socketing status.

5. The level of “Artisan” has been added to the crafting system.
  Upon reaching a crafting skill level of 449, players can go to a Crafting Trainer NPC to advance further.
  Once players become Artisans, their maximum level in the skill increases to 499.
  Players can become Artisans of two crafting skills.
  Existing Crafting Level names have been changed:

6. Extract Vitality is now known as Essencetapping and Extract Aether is now known as Aethertapping.

7. The maximum Essencetapping and Aethertapping levels have been raised.
Players who reach level 399 for either of the gathering skills can go to the Master NPC for the relevant skill. They may then complete a quest and pay a fee to advance to the rank of Expert.
Players who become Experts will have a new maximum skill level of 499.

8. There is now a character level requirement in addition to the skill level requirement for Aethertapping

9. Certain new resources will require specific tools to gather.
  These tools can be purchased from the Essencetapping merchants and Aethertapping merchants in the large cities.
  The specific collection items will be introduced in new zones in an upcoming expansion.

10. A Superb Essencetapping Hat and a Superb Aethertapping Hat, which show nearby collection items (above skill level 400) on the radar, have been added.
  These hats can be purchased from the Essencetapping item merchants and the Aethertapping item merchants in the large cities.
  Names of some existing gathering hats have been changed to match the new crafting levels:

11. New recipes and morphing books have been added for both Elyos and Asmodian factions.
  A Crit Spell Scroll and an Awakening Scroll which can be crafted from materials found in existing zones, have been added.
  Please note that some of the newly added designs are to be crafted from materials that will be found in new zones to be added later. They cannot currently be crafted.
  New Morphing Methods have been added for rare collection. Some examples of items that can now be morphed are: Greater Adamantium Ore, Fresh Neunan, and Big Ruby Ore.

12. A resource dismantling system has been added.
  Double-clicking on high level resources (e.g., Greater, Pure, Brilliant) results in dismantling them into three lower level resources. E.g., Brilliant Aether -> 3 Pure Aether
  Resources that can be dismantled are marked as bundled material items in the item type.

13. A limited edition system has been added.
  Certain items only exist in a set quantity and will be marked as "sold out" when stocks have been exhausted.
  Sold out items will be restocked after a period of time, varying by item.
  Some items have a maximum per character quantity. In those cases, only a set number can be purchased by a player regardless of stock levels.

  If a player hits the maximum quota, they must wait for a certain amount of time to pass before purchasing the item again. As before, the length of time varies according to the item.
  Items that are sold out or whose max quantity a player has reached will be marked in red.

14. Material Merchant NPCs and Flux Merchant NPCs responsible for selling Aether and Fluxes respectively have been added.
  Aether and Fluxes are limited edition items, so only a fixed amount can be purchased.
  See below for information about the NPCs who sell these stones.

15. A brand-name boutique shop has been added in each capital.
Elyos can purchase brand-name apparel from NPCs Persate, Rebbana, Margela, and Tieco in the Galleria of Grandeur.
Asmodians can purchase brand-name apparel from NPCs Rudran, Enira, Spyridon, and Carrin in the Vanahal Boutique.

[Items for Sale]

[Andu’s Party Dress] [Marra’s Party Dress]

16. A new Mist system has been added with weapons and armor that are only good for a set amount of time after purchase.
  Items purchased from a Mist Merchant can automatically disappear once the time is up.
  Mist equipment cannot be stored in an account or legion warehouse, cannot be sold, and cannot be modified in appearance.
  Mist equipment cannot be strengthened with enchantment stones, Manastones, or Godstones.
  Armsfusion is not permitted with Mist equipment.
  Players can purchase Mist equipment from Mist Merchants in Sanctum, Eltnen, Heiron, Pandaemonium, Morheim, or Beluslan.

[Aion] Aion's Ranking & Statistics

2010-05-16T02:45:00.000-04:00

Aion official website has the best real time server statistics.

It displays current server status, population ratio, abyss, and also character information.

It is almost real-time since every time I switch a piece of gear, my character page updates right away...

However, some players feel that that is not good enough...

The website only provide the information on each server and there are servers in different countries.

Since Aion is a PvP game, it is all about players' PvP achievement. To be able to compare themselves to players in different server even different countries is very important...

Here is a website people put together for all Aion players to compare themselves with other players around the world!

Abyssrank.com

It contains players rankings, legions rankings, player statics, and also server statics.

It is a very useful tool if you are a hardcore PvPer and wanting to know "who's out there."

Take my server for example, Flassless is rank 5 of all Aion servers (rank 1 in Asmodian) and my legion, SunShine, is rank 7 (rank 6 in Elyos).

It also shows the top player of the day and also some other useful information!

I hope you enjoy the website as much as I do!

See you next time!

Elite Guardian Tribunus's Staff

Being able to have a good static group for all fortress instances is not easy especially that not everyone in your group can play at the same time...

However, we get it together!

This is what my cubes look like before I turned in all items LOL

Total of 640.8K AP worth of items...

Turning in...

Here is the ranking page...Boosted up 30 level to rank 1 after the update at 1200...

I am the Elyos Army Governor LOL

Slotting godstone...

Paralyze the target for 5 seconds with 2% probability...

The sexy staff!

The staff extends while in combine mode and also shiny!

Still long way to go for full set gear...at least the hardest part is done!

That 10% PC damage is so nice. I can notice my damage on players right away...

I think I will enjoy this staff for a while LOL
