Aion Online: Resting XP or Repose

Posted by WebMaster | Posted in Aion | Posted on 23-10-2009

resting xp repose

 

New gamers to Aion Online don’t realize that the game actually has rested xp like in World of Warcraft and other MMO’s. However in Aion Online they decided to do it a little different and they call it Repose.

Repose:
You only accumulate Repose energy when a character ia higher than level 20 and is logged out of the game. This is why a lot of players don’t know about rested xp or repose yet due to the level restriction. What Repose does is it lets a player earn an extra 20-30% experience when killing monsters and enemy faction members! To be fully rested and get 100% Repose a player needs to be logged out for two days.

Repose is applied when killing monsters or defeating characters of the opposite faction as well. An icon in the top right corner of the screen shows when your character has this energy stored.

So there is rested xp in Aion Online and its time for players to roll some alts hit level 20 and let them sit for two days to collect some repose! Why not get the extra xp and its fun to try out other classes.

Aion Online: Divine Points

Divine Points are a mystery to many players of Aion Online. The only time new players begin to notice divine points is when they start glowing. Actually there are three different auras and they don’t exist just to make your character look shiny. At lower levels you will not be able to see other player’s divine auras until you are level 10.

So what are divine points really? Well they are points you get awarded every time you kill a mob after you reach level 10 and become a Daeva. The Divine Point bar is found below the Hit and Mana Point bars. The interesting thing about the Divine Point bar is that you can fill it up three times for a total of 4,000 points.

So what are the points used for?

Skills: There are actually divine skills which require divine points to be activated. The lowest costing is 2,000 divine points and the highest is 4,000. There are multiple skills and they are different for each class.

Criticals: Retaining divine power can be advantageous since it increases your chances of critically hitting in melee as well as critically healing.

Crafting: That is right divine points even help with crafting! The more points you have the more it improves your chances of creating a “Noble” variant of the item. So its worth grinding for a little bit for doing any major crafting to make sure you increase your chances of a proc while crafting.

Morphing: Another topic many players know little about when they first start playing. When you became a Daeva you received a new skill called Morph Substances. This ability lets you use Aether powder, which is found by using your Aether Extraction ability on vortexes found in the sky. Aether is the building block of everything in Aion so it is only logical that from these building blocks you can morph it into any substance. The act of morphing the powder into a material costs divine points, starting at 200 divine points and increasing as the objects get more difficult.

When do you lose your divine points?

Sadly after you log out or upon death. That is why a lot of players tend to use divine skills in battle right away. Sometimes you will see crafters grinding for a short while and than warping back to begin their crafting session.

So that’s what divine points are all about. They can be used in combat for special skills, crafting, morphing and can help you be more effective in battle by landing more critical hits or heals. Overall not too shabby and you get a shiny glow out of it too!

Aion Online: Grinding Guide and Tips

Aion Online is an MMO of not only quests but definitely grinding. There really isn’t too much of a way around it. There are a ton of quests but to be honest sometimes its worth just grinding out that extra two or three boxes to level. So this post should help gamers with grinding and some general leveling tips.

General Tips
———————————————————————————-
- The trick is to get levels in 3’s so you only have to hit the main city once and a while.

- Always sell when heading back from quests. The “Sell All Misc” button is your best friend.

- Bandages, Odella Powder and potions are a great to stop downtime.

- Power shards can help give you that extra damage when grinding to kill mobs faster.

Grinding Tips
———————————————————————————-
- Find a spot to grind that has 2 or 3 gathering nodes that way when you are waiting for the mobs to respawn you can gather and gain some Kinah.

- Ideal grinding spots are where you have a bunch of low level mobs where you can use some AoE skills if you class has any.

- If you have no AoE skills than a good grinding spot is where there are higher level mobs, maybe a level or two above your level which are spaced out to reduce adds, but will give extra xp. Make sure you have a decent Accuracy or Magical Accuracy so you can hit the mobs.

- In a group? Find a spot which has elite mobs, more Kinah and better item drops. Otherwise group grinding is actually not helping you because the xp is being split among the group.

- Look up what mobs drop at the AionArmory that way you can choose mobs to grind which drop items you want.

Well thats it! Some simple tips and tricks to grinding in Aion Online. If you have any tips yourself feel free to send it to us.

Aion Online: Five Kinah Making Tips

Posted by WebMaster | Posted in Aion | Posted on 15-10-2009

aion kinah tips

 

Kinah makes the world go round, literally! Aion Online is all about money or Kinah, you get nickle and dimed everywhere you turn, flight paths, death, training, crafting and the list goes on… So how can you level and have Kinah left in your pocket? These five kinah making tips should help out any gamer.

1) Loot Everything! If you have the cube space than loot it, even other mobs you didn’t kill because after a while they become lootable. Upgrading your cube space is very important as well, more items you can hold just means more Kinah later on.

2) Disenchant, Disenchant, Disenchant Enchantment stones are a great way to make extra Kinah. Watch the prices of the stones and sell them on the broker. Disenchant all extra greens items, and certainly all armor/weapons that you can no longer wear. Even crafted white items you make when trying to proc a green. Make sure you are always equal to or the lowest listed on the broker when selling items.

3) Resist the Broker Don’t go crazy on the broker, you can get items or grind for some of the better armor and weapons for your level. However I do recommend spending money on weapons since this will help out your dps and level faster.

4) Crafting not for Newbies Crafting can be a good way to make money but not at lower levels. It costs too much Kinah to level up your skills to make it worth it. Its easier, in general, to be higher level when gathering items in lower level areas. However I do recommend to keep your gathering skill up while leveling because certain quests require gathering skills and when you go to craft later on, half of the battle is already over.

5) Sell Crafting Materials If you take my crafting tip and wait until higher levels to start, I would than recommend selling any crafting materials you collect along the way. Most likely when you go to start crafting you are just going to bang out work orders to level which shouldn’t cost any gathered materials on your side, only Kinah and where did you get that Kinah, from the gathered items you sold.

Since I am feeling generous I am going to throw in a bonus tip!

Manastones Most go for very low prices on the broker but keep an eye out on the Magic Boost and Physical Crit. Almost every class uses these type of stones so the demand is very high and the prices tend to be as well.

I hope these tips will help out fellow gamers in Aion Online. Let me know of some of your money making tips and you may seem them added to the site!
