To successfully work your way through the levels of Aion, you must have a clear strategy. The game is relentless, and plans should always be made to cover eventualities many levels ahead.
Although there is a lot to think about, Aion strategy can be divided into two parts - the accumulation of Kinah, and smart tactics in the game itself.
Kinah, And How To Get Lots Of Them
Kinah is the currency of the game, just like our regular money. And not surprisingly, a very good strategy is to try to get as much of this as you can so that you can buy all the things that you need to move on to advanced levels.
So there you are - the more Kinah you have, the better off you are, and you will need a heap of it by Level 50.
But how do we make the most of this? Are there some keys to getting more Kinah out of your Aion game play? The answer is a resounding YES.
For starters, don't pass up anything at all...no matter how small. If you see a dead mob laying in the street, loot them for every Kinah they have. It doesn't matter how little there is. Over time, they will add up...and quickly.
If you run into any in game NPCs looking for items that you don't need any longer, sell them. Again, it doesn't matter for how much. The item is worthless to you anyway.
Look out for enemy drops. Pick them up and sell them. It doesn't matter how unimportant they are. It doesn't matter if you only get a Kinah or two for them. It all adds up.
Go hunting whenever you can. There are creatures out there that have magical loot that is worth a lot. You may be in for a tough battle to relieve them of it, but the rewards can be substantial, and you can easily sell these items for much Kinah.
What about those crafted items you are carrying around with you? Do you really need them? If not, sell them. They may be of no use to you, but somebody else will be prepared to pay for them. Sell them for whatever you can get.
Take it even further. Set up your own private store so that other players can buy from you. Trust me on this...if you get enough traffic coming through your store, the Kinah can add up...FAST.
Strategy - It's Much More Than Brute Force and Currency
OK, you now know a few ways to accumulate Kinah. But you still have to be alive to spend it.
It's time to put the basics of the game together and talk about strategy.
A sound strategy will get you through this game alive and successful. An unsound strategy will get you killed. It's really that simple.
Trouble is, most beginning players don't understand what a sound strategy is simply because they're focused on the wrong thing...busting some heads.
Battling can certainly be fun and rewarding, but one who is unprepared for battle or takes on battles he is not ready for, is a fool.
So to begin with... know your limitations. If you're a level one Scout with just a dagger in your hand, you want to be VERY careful about who you confront...no matter what level the character is at. You are the most vulnerable character in the game at this point and can be easily killed. So pick your battles very carefully.
In addition to that, you want to make sure that you do everything you can to prepare yourself for battle such as completing Work Orders, equipping yourself properly, and getting as much Kinah as you can. It is much easier to buy the items you need than it is to kill somebody for them...especially at the lower levels.
Next, you don't want to become the town bully right off the bat. They say you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. It is quite true. So what you want to do is make friends...lots of them. If you are a Priest, you want to make friends with a Warrior, somebody who can fight your battles for you. If you are a Warrior, make friends with a Priest...somebody who can heal you.
You want to form a solid group as soon as possible. Groups have a much better chance of success than a single character groping in the dark. There is strength in numbers. Don't ever forget that.
