The ULTIMATE AION FAQ

 

Last Revised 26/01/09

 

General info:

 

What is Aion?

 

AION: The Tower of Eternity is an upcoming fantasy based MMORPG from the gaming corporation NCSoft, it is considered to be one of the most visually stunning games in the market today and for good reason. Players take to the skies in an unprecedented level of aerial integration as they fight to protect not only their race but the world itself.

 

What is the current status of Aion? / Beta status

 

Aion is currently released in the Korean market however due to ip filtering US/Eu based players will not be able to connect.

The Chinese beta however is being ritualistically stalked by Aionsource members who are creating accounts and hording gems for CBT (Closed Beta) keys on the Chinese website. Chinese beta keys are extremely difficult to get due to the large Chinese player base, I'm not overly sure if anyone from Aionsource has actually managed to snag one yet.

 

Also worthy of note is the fact that there will be no NA pr Eu closed/open betas. It seems sufficient beta testing was conducted in Korea eliminating the need for us to go through one. While that will lower the spirits of some people fear not! NCSoft will be hosting "preview events" shortly before release to get some feedback and let people get a feel of the game. Please note that participation in these events will be heavily restricted. Sourced from Ayase.

 

Basic Storyline (Lore)

 

In AION, players must choose a side between two warring factions: the Elyos or the Asmodians. Once their world was whole; a perfect union joined at the center by The Tower of Eternity. When a great catastrophe shattered The Tower of Eternity, it split the world into two halves - and awoke the Balaur, a warring race exiled within the Abyss. The Balaur now seek revenge on both of these new worlds, sparking an epic conflict. The conflict between those 3 races is about Aether, a substance needed for flying, and the Abyss is the only region where you can find this material in huge quantities. The part you play, the side you choose and the decisions you make will help determine the ultimate fate of AION. The American Aion website also features lore extracts from the perspective of the Elyos and Asmodians.

 

Key Features

 

    * Interactive gameplay systems

      The actions of each faction on every individual server will eventually trigger consequences, which will then change the server's live environment. This should lead to differentiation between all realms. (Some have suggested this system will be based, to an extent, off Guild Wars).

    * PvPvE (Player vs Player vs Environment)

      Aion: The Tower of Eternity features an evolving conflict system, which manages the complex relationships and alliances between realms, races and guilds. The system also takes into account a third NPC faction, the Balaur, who may act as the enemy - or the ally - of players in various situations. Some players have noted from the Korean Betas that the Balaur AI system is somewhat lacking, NCSoft however appears to be working on this.

    * Free flying and flying combat

      Take to the skies and soar over the landscape, with wings that allow your character to access remote areas, travel to different parts of the world - and to engage enemies in aerial combat!

    * Beautiful and detailed graphics

      Created using a modified version of the Crytek engine (as used in Far Cry), AION: The Tower of Eternity is the most graphically beautiful MMORPG yet released. Astounding levels of detail on characters and in environments immerse you in the world of AION. There is however a common misconception that Aion will be running off the same engine as Crysis and therefore those who struggled to play it shouldn't waste their time with Aion. However whilst Aion will be running off the CryEngine Crysis was created with the CryEngine 2 . See this if confused. (Thanks Killer)

 

    * http://aionsource.com/forum/cmps_index.php?page=whatisaion

    * http://eu.aiononline.com/

Is Aion free? P2P?

 

    * No pricing has been officially announced yet, however it can be almost guaranteed that AION will be P2P. The industry standard of $15 USD per month is the predicted monthly fee. The actual box has been estimated at $40 for a regular edition and $60 for a "Collector's" edition. (Noting that there has been no official comment on the possibility of a Collector's Edition)

    * Every region has the right to change it's subscription type so NcSoft Austin may differ from NcSoft Korea and NcSoft Europe

 

 

Factions & leveling:

 

    * Elyos and Asmodians are the playable races. Elyos are 'Angelic' and Asmodians 'Demonic' in appearance. Neither is necessarily good or evil from a lore perspective.

    * While there was originally differentiation in skills between Asmodians and Elyos with the Stigma stone system it appears that these differences have been removed. While this is still subject to change in the NA/Eu versions it seems quite unlikely that there will be any differentiation now. See Hellrose's Stigma Guide for further details. (Love you Hellrose <3!)

    * AION's current proposed level cap is 50,naturally that is also subject to change.

 

Wings and flying:

 

    * Due to Aion's unique system the skies have opened up like never before!

    * The quest for becoming a Daeva (taken at level 9) earns you your wings at level 10. When you first obtain this ability you will only be able to use flight for a one minute period with the "cooldown" being twice that. However as your character progresses there will be items/abilities/situations that will result in higher flight times.

    * Elyos and Asmodians both get wings however these will be uniquely styled based on the race.

    * You can fly freely or follow a flight path (Which appears to be the same concept used in WoW, albeit far more stylish), depending on the area. Using a flight path to get to an area will not exhaust your flight bar as you are using some form of "spiritual bird" rather than your own wings. It is assumed this will be a far faster means of travel that standard flight as well.

    * Wings can be personalized or upgraded through PvP. Specifics are yet to be announced.

    * Some skills act differently or are available only when you are flying. That makes the flight system more of a strategic element than a transportation mechanic.

PvP

 

    * PvP in Aion will be very control-oriented. Skills that have clear relationships with each other are to be expected where some are used in combination and others to counter.

    * PvP-specific skills will be available for usage around level 40. The player can, however, still choose not to participate in PvP unless he/she wants to. (Possible Rumor)

    * The time required to reach maximum level has been reduced since the last Friends and Family Test. The level progression will be similar and comparable to that of many western-developed games in the genre. After reaching the level cap (currently 50), players will be able to improve their characters on a more horizontal plane by using the stigma system along with equipment combinations.

    * For players who don?t enjoy PvP, there will be various PvE activities to take part in such as raids, instanced dungeons and so on ? All connected to the great war. An example would be PvE players collecting items for big siege weapons to support their faction.

    * The main conflict within Aion: The Tower of Eternity is a great conflict raging between the Elyos, Asmodians and the Balaur. This is also where the content focus will be.

    * A feature that is currently on a planning stage is to randomly open teleportation portals in the Elyos and Asmodian lands. Rumored to be present in the Korean version albeit still in need of tweaking.

 

Where?

 

    * You can PVP in the Abyss and there will be some zones outside the Abyss where the Elyos and Asmodians will be able to interact.

    * You can only duel your own faction.

    * There appears to be a siege system in the works also.

    * Entering instances (dungeons) for PvP purposes also seems to be possible.. That means if the Elyos guild named "X" is doing an instanced dungeon, the Asmodian guild "Y" can enter the same instance and kill them.

    * There also seems to be a practice arena, although this is currently just for fun, with no ranking systems.

    *

 

    * http://www.aionsource.com/forum/general-discussion/3236-pvp-outside-abyss.html

 

Abyss

PvE

 

    * There will be two types of raids in Aion. The first type is similar to that of Lineage, with huge amounts of players participating. The second type requires more strategy and class-specific skills (perhaps more comparable to that of Everquest).

    * A Raid NPC/Monster for the Elyos might be an important NPC for the Asmodians which leads to the possibility of raids influencing the faction war.

 

Abyss & Castles :

 

    * The Abyss will consist of two distinct parts. The first part is aimed at beginners and is meant to introduce players to the Abyss concept. The second part is connected to the real war and meant for more experienced characters.

    * The Abyss will be home to 8 to 10 castles that can be captured by either faction. The advantages will have extreme consequences. Your faction will be able to gather crafting materials easily. Besides that, traders live around the castle and will sell special weapons only to your faction. Finally, the ruling guild will receive taxes from the land. The rest of the faction won't get any money from it. Only when the enemy retakes the castle, another guild will have the chance to benefit from the many advantages of the castle.

    * High-end leveling seems to be centered around the Abyss, killing the Balaur in order to obtain XP.

      Leveling in the abyss seems more effective than leveling in the outside (due to the greater risk of getting killed, the XP reward from mobs will be greater...)

    * Rumor has it that castles can be upgraded with defencive structures and NPC guards. Yet to be confirmed.

    * Siege weapons can also be obtained through PvE (raid boss drop)

    * This way, PVE players help the war opposing faction, without doing PVP, but the idea is to bring people doing PVE to start PVP and PVP players to do some PVE

    * http://www.aionsource.com/forum/general-discussion/2781-translation-aion-seminar-q-abyss.html

    *

 

Items, Armors, Tradeskills

 

Items & Armor

 

    * The types of items in Aion are divided in to three categories: Normal items, Abyssal items and Drakonic items(?) (names are still to be determined).

      Abyssal items are received via PvP and Drakonic items(?) will be available through crafting of items acquired from hunting the Balaur (Drakonic items are yet to be implemented)

    * There will be some Soulbound items, meaning that once equipped, they can not be traded anymore (as made famous by Everquest).

    * You can customize armors with dye

    * When some sets are full/complete, they will glow around the character.

    * item uniqueness : Let's take your situation as an example; at high levels, everyone will be wearing the equipment that provides the most stat benefits. In Aion, there is a system where you can transfer the stat bonuses from one piece of equipment to another. Let's say you have the an awesome sword by the name of Zariche which looks absolutely awesome, but an even better sword looks pretty dull (in your opinion anyway). Through Aion's system you can upgrade to the better sword while keeping the awesome looks of Zariche.

 

    *

    * http://feature.mmosite.com/content/2007-11-28/20071128012834664,1.shtml

Slots for equipment :

 

    * head, necklace, 2 earrings, shoulder, chest, legs, cloak, waist, boots, 2 rings, 2 weapon sets

    * http://aion.gamemeca.com/special/section/html_section/aion/info_contents/list.html?info_sort=8

 

 

Characteristics & Stigma :

 

    * The developers do not want players to have to worry about character attributes (such as Strength, Dexterity, Constitution?), which is why attributes are automated and controlled by the game.

    * One of the things differentiating characters is the ?Stigma? system. Stigma is a sort of stone containing the memories of a Daeva. A Stigma stone will, in a nutshell, allow players to create unique characters with skills or equipment from other classes. Examples of the combinations that can be acquired by utilizing this system are Wizards wearing heavy armor. There has been some speculation however that NCSoft has "nerfed" the cross-class Stigma stones to some extent in order to maintain character balance.

    * 5 Stats given by armor : Magical defence, Physical defense, Focus, Evasion & Mana.

    * http://www.aionsource.com/forum/general-discussion/2648-translation-stigma.html

 

Tradeskills, professions & crafting :

 

    * Six different professions are currently available in the game. These are Weaponsmithing, Armorsmithing, Jewelcrafting, Alchemy, Tailoring and Cooking. Discussion over these professions can be found here http://www.aionsource.com/forum/crafting-discussion/.

      By negotiator · Posted

      I search job: posting your advertisement(sale,service) on various forums. Contacts for communication. You can find link for download messenger using Google search.   Telegram https://t.me/negotiato_r @negotiato_r   Element(based in United Kingdom) You can find me using this name. @negotiato-r:matrix.org   Session(based in Switzerland) You can find me using this name. 05770c2eda571fc8d10ec0e79e258ec0d9189def2a3e1f2ace1cd29a2174d40723   Delta Chat(based in Germany) You can find me using the link below. https://i.delta.chat/#1ABEBFFCBC1AEE629111387073FFDA1835BB423E&i=6WtJxcgJGcFD3vIpglQfhe5J&s=f2EkRsqxAeFYep9g9s1y1aIf&a=xuozjaudg%40nine.testrun.org&n=negotiator   I ask administrator or moderator not to consider this link an advertisement for messenger.  This is only link that people can use to contact me.  There is also QR code option,but you have to use mobile phone to access QR code.  This means you have to install VPN app on your mobile phone,then sync your account from your mobile phone to your laptop or computer.  This is a very cumbersome process.  It's much easier to use pre-made link for laptop or computer. Hello. I intermediary. I search job: posting your advertisement(sale,service) on various forums.  My service is free: posting your advertisement(sale,service) on various forums. I know these forum addresses,i can post your ad(for sale,service) on various forums. Dear sellers and those who provide any services. I offer you cooperation. My commission is not taken from your amount,my commission is added to your amount. From money received from guarantor,you pay me my commission.  Payment is made on Tether USDT TRC20 or on Tron TRX. Commission for sending from your wallet to my wallet paid by buyer. When communicating via messenger,please tell me what your commission is for sending on Tether USDT TRC20 or on Tron TRX.  Amount(fees) you'll pay as shipping fee to my wallet will be added to total amount. Payment will be made by guarantor to your payment details. Buyer deposits total amount with my percentage. Send me in messenger your ad copy with price(s). Independently from that through which messenger will be communication,buyer suggests using forum guarantor,gives forum address(http address) and send link(http address) to me,link i will pass on to you(seller) for consideration. If you as seller are not satisfied garant service on proposed forum,i say buyer goodbye and he goes to look for his product(service) from someone else,as result i will wait new buyer.   If sale amount is less than $1000,i receive 20 percent above your total amount. If sale amount is more than $1000,i receive 10 percent above your total amount. I do not deal with either buyers or sellers from Ukraine(i do not cooperate with this country). I will not accept any advertising related to Ukraine,as i do not cooperate with this country. For buyers from other countries guarantor's services are entirely at buyer's expense. You can offer me any other area cooperation that does not violate law.  I do not give 100% guarantee that i will accept your offer,which is not initially related to my advertising area.  It is 50/50 that i will either refuse you or accept your offer.  Everything will depend on whether this offer does not violate law.  I will read information about your product(service) in Google search engine that you offer me for advertising and make decision,which i will inform you in messenger for communication.  I will need some time to familiarize myself with information from Google search engine. I'm currently interested in 4 areas: 1)promotional offers with discounts only(coupons or promo codes):food,shoes,clothing,furniture,cosmetics,household appliances,consumer electronics,taxis,bus tickets,train tickets,plane tickets,hotel tickets,gas coupons or promo codes for car owners I do not advertise Ukraine,do not cooperate with it and have no dealings with it. I will not advertise anything related to carding.  Buyer deposits amount for product(service) plus my commission(20 percent based on amount for product or service) into guarantor and then receives their product(service) in forum transaction.  I would be grateful if it were possible for buyer to receive their goods somehow after depositing money with guarantor,without return address or contact information for future purchases. It's not in my best interests for buyer to communicate directly with you after first purchase. If this isn't possible,then you will simply agree with buyer to receive money with my percentage higher than your initial payment each time. If same customer purchases from you second time,customer pay you together with my percentage and i receive this percentage from you,this will provide additional incentive to advertise,i will promoting you on other forums.     2)selling real estate(houses or apartments) I'm not interested renting. I'm willing to advertise all countries except Russia and Ukraine.  I won't advertise these two countries. I don't advertise Ukraine,don't cooperate with it and have no dealings with it. I'm not interested house or apartment listings that appear on Google search pages,as buyer can find information there themselves without my help and buy house or apartment in desired country. I'm interested house or apartment that aren't listed on Google search. How i see this ad:buyer sees my listing for desired country and if they're interested,they deposit 10 percent listed price for house or apartment in Garant Service. Buyer sets  deadline in forum transaction,during which i either receive my money or don't.  Then buyer receive an address,day and time to meet with seller. Buyer takes lawyer and notary with them and flies(or is driving car) to  given address. If purchase transaction falls through,buyer collects their percentage from guarantor. I don't think buyer willing to buy  house or apartment worth more than 12545$ is willing to cheat me out  that 10 percent by making up  fake story about  failed deal.       3)selling telegram premium status Buyer has two options: 1) transaction through guarantor 2) transaction without guarantor   If transaction is through guarantor. I(intermediary) conduct transaction with guarantor. Buyer specifies following terms in terms transaction: 1) i authorize the disclosure of the transaction name to third parties(that is to you) 2) i authorize the disclosure of the seller's payment details(your payment details) to third parties(that is to you) 3) i authorize the disclosure of the total transaction amount to third parties(that is to you) 4) i do not authorize the disclosure of my profile link on this forum to third parties 5) i do not authorize the disclosure of my contact information(if i have any in my profile on this forum) to third parties   If activating premium status requires logging into buyer's account,i will do this.  You will provide me with instructions on how to activate premium status for buyer's account. If you want to contact me about selling premium status on telegram, but my telegram account is unavailable(account is frozen or telegram system has deleted it),you can contact me using my other contact information. To activate premium status by logging into buyer's account,i will download portable version telegram from official website and launch it on my laptop.  I will enter mobile phone number buyer provides me in messenger they originally contacted me through and send login code to this number.  Buyer will then send me login code. Once transaction is finalized and buyer has deposited funds into guarantor's account I'll notify you via messenger. You register on  forum suggested by buyer.  Message guarantor privately on forum,asking them to share all points I've outlined above.  Buyer will provide  link to guarantor's forum profile in advance or you can find guarantor's forum profile on forum yourself,it's up to you to decide. After verifying that your payment details are included and that transaction amount matches amount agreed upon in messenger, you upgrade buyer to premium status. Your payment details are specified in application,in formquestionnaire for forum transaction,but you won't receive money from guarantor until buyer will not receive service(product),as soon as buyer receives service from you,guarantor will pay you. If buyer has received premium status,you receive funds from guarantor and then pay me my commission using my payment details. The fee for sending from your wallet to my wallet is covered by buyer,not you. When communicating via messenger please tell me your fee for sending to Tether USDT TRC20 or Tron TRX. Buyer deposits funds into guarantor with total amount already including my percentage plus buyer's fee for sending,which you will spend by paying me my percentage when transferring from Tether USDT TRC20 or Tron TRX. If transaction is without guarantor. Buyer pays money to your payment details received from me via messenger and waits for service to be rendered. I will inform buyer total amount when communicating via messenger. You upgrade buyer to premium status through me and then you pay me my percentage to my payment details.  If activating premium status requires logging into buyer's account. I will do so.  You will provide me with instructions on how to activate premium status for buyer's account. Fee for sending from your wallet to my wallet is covered by buyer,not you.  When communicating via messenger please tell me your fee for sending to Tether(USDT TRC20) or Tron(TRX). Buyer pays you total amount,including my percentage plus buyer's fee for sending,which you will spend by paying me my percentage when transferring from Tether USDT TRC20 or Tron TRX.       4)i offer cooperation to specialists who provide services for collecting and submitting documents to consulate for citizenship,residence permits,visas and schengen visas I will advertise service collecting and sending documents to consulate only for following countries:Commonwealth of Independent States,Europe,Mexico,United states america,Canada,United Kingdom,Asia,Africa. Russia and Ukraine:these two countries i will not advertise. Buyer pays guarantor(amount from seller) for service for collecting and sending documents to consulate plus my commission(10 or 20 percent based on service fee). Buyer sets deadline in forum transaction within which they must receive service. Then in forum transaction buyer wait provision service. If after specified period(which will be specified in transaction),consulate refuses client's service,you as specialist have right to charge exact amount for your work through guarantor,since you spent your time on it(this clause will be specified in transaction). What will be amount you will decide,send solution through me.I'll let the buyer know. Client does not pay my percentage if consulate refuses client's service(this clause will be specified in transaction).  In case refusal to buyer from consulate you will need to confirm this refusal through website. Whenever you collect and submit documents on country's website,request is created through their website.  You will provide access to this request to guarantor.  This is necessary to ensure that buyer doesn't pay for nothing,meaning amount you will be required to receive through  guarantor for service provided if  consulate's request is unsuccessful.
