Aion: Ascension (Part 2)

Hello, again! Here cometh part two of thine previous revieweth of Aion.

:D

Right! So you're at the point where you've found yourself in Aion and everything is manificent... Mostly everything. There still remains one problem.

Aww shit, son!

How in God's blazes do you fly?!

YOU CAN’T FLY BECAUSE YOU’RE A HUMAN!!1! Once you get to level 9 you’ll get a quest called “Ascension”, which once you’ve finished you’ll become a Daeva. Then you can glide and fly and flap your wings in front of all the lower levels who haven’t got their wings yet while falling off cliffs because you thought you could get to the other side to your heart’s content. Just press space in the middle of a jump.

Downfall? You can only fly in designated areas where the flow of Aether is strong. What is Aether, you may ask? Damn, well, it’s like the energy that flows around the whole of Atreia, basically it keeps everything in order. Very important stuff.



If you fix yourself up with a group like this-
you'll pretty much be set for the whole entire game.

So you’ll get out of Lowbie-Land and into Pandemonium (Asmodians) or Sanctum (Elyos). From there you’ll go to Lowbie-Land-part-2 and level there for a while. Protip: eat your greens do your campaign quests, they’ll make you strong and they give you buckets of EXP. Make some friends! Friends are expendable useful and very helpful when you need to do Group quests. You’ll have a lot of fun.



When you get to level 25 you’ll be able to get into the Abyss, which is basically the place where a war is raging between the Asmodians, Elyos and the Balaur (lizard people). Be warned, you can be killed by enemy players at any time once you leave your faction’s landing. It’s very fun to be in the Abyss, but frustrating as well. You’ll want to gear up if you're planning to go into PVP.

As well as the Abyss, there is rifting. Rifting is basically going through portals that appear on the map at any given time. They’ll take you to the other faction’s world, from Elysea to Asmodae and vice versa. Be prepared to run into the other race – and bring friends! Lots and lots of friends...

I really don’t want to waffle on too much, so I’ll just quickly skim over the rest of this post.

Behold! The Alchemy table.

The crafting system is massive, you can choose from Armour smithing, Weapon smithing, Potion making, Cooking, Alchemy and Wood crafting. All pretty self-explanatory, I only do Armour smithing and even then I don’t do it often. If you do take any (or all) of these up, you’ll pretty much be a step ahead of everyone else and you’ll be able to make most of what you need.

There’s a lot of stuff I’ve missed out but we’ll talk about that later.

Also Polar bears.
