Mo’ Kinah Mo’ Problems

We begin this week with an excellent Aion themed podcast. They have just released their second episode and its a very knowledgeable show giving great tips on crafting, grinding and making Aion kinah the right way. Whether to quest grind, elite mob grind or spend time on crafting to make kinah is all covered in the second episode. Make sure you subscribe to the official “Grind it Out” twitter account or you can subscribe to the podcast at PodOmatic.

In other news, recently appointed Aion’s Producer, Chris “Kinslon” Hager, answered a few question regarding the stun defense system and daily quests coming in 1.9. This is first in a mini series of interviews he’ll be having concerning the soon to be released game update and we’ll keep you posted about sequels. Read the full article here.

Along with 1.9 patch info there’s always a plethora of rumors regarding the so-called patch 2.0 that should bring improved graphics engine and even more content (basically, lots of things seen in the “Vision trailer”). Screenshots of various armor appeared on fan forums. Originating from what seems to be the Chinese Aion site (http://aion.duowan.com/) we can see new lvl 55 cloth armor as well as undetermined cloth, chain and leather armor that can also be seen in the vision trailer. You can see screenshots in our gallery bellow, while the original two threads where I spotted these are here and here, and there is also a Polish blog that has the screenshots posted here. NOTE: These are all still rumors and unconfirmed by any official source. Please keep that in mind and take all this with a grain of salt.

Easter Monday Video Rant

Another week has started and this means I can jump into another one of our Monday Aion Rants. This week we have a special Video edition. The Blog community has not been as active in the past 7 days so nothing new to report there, but I did come across several Aion related videos that I think will go well with your Monday coffee (or other Monday ritual you prefer).

First off, in accordance with the holiday, we have an Aion Easter Egg video that the German mmorpg site PlayMassive released. It shows how you can use the geysers to jump to a remote and hidden location. I must say it looks wonderful.

Next up is the Korean NCSoft releasing an April Fools video presenting new instance and raid bosses planned for Aion 2.0. Notice: no dogs or Balaur were hurt during making of the video! I have no idea what the subtitles in the video mean (they are in Korean) but feel free to fill in the blanks by yourself.

For your viewing pleasure we bring a piece of actual news. It is the video of new wings you will be able to obtain in patch 1.9. The rumored cost of these is 90 mil, but they sure look awesome. I have combined both videos that were released by Korean NCSoft into one and you can view it below (or on our Youtube channel).

Create your Aion look alike

Aion has a great character customization interface. You also have the possibility to change your avatar’s appearance through the Plastic Surgery interface later on in the game. While browsing through the, soon to be erased, official forums I came across the following thread featuring real life pictures of Aion players along with their in-game counterparts. If there is one thread worth saving from the old forums this is it. You can see several of the more intriguing images in our gallery bellow and you can see the full thread here.
