General Game Tips A-Z

Post by Sinner on Fri Jan 08, 2010 12:09 pm

Welcome to my A-Z compilation of Game Tips. Hopefully to help new & experienced Players enjoy the game to the full. I will add Info to this page as & when discovered, so by all means keep checking back for any new stuff.


Crafting
To level any craft at Twice the speed, & Half the cost. Do your work orders in a Double XP weekend, as this gains double XP for you, but also Double points for your craft.


Divine Points (DP) - Source - PowerWiki
Ok, there has been a lot of doubt on what DP is actually useful for. Here are the major benefits.
  • The higher your DP, the better your chance of either Critically Healing or Critically Hitting your intended target.
  • Can also help improve your chance of creating a "Noble" variant of an item while crafting. (i.e. Proc Rate Increase) While there is always an element of chance in the creation of Noble items, think of your DP as helping you stack the deck subtly in your favor.
  • DP is used in the creation of Morph Substances.


Extra Storage
Storage can be expensive, especially the later rows of Warehouse space. If you have created an Alt purely for Storage & AH purposes, then create your own Legion using that Alt. It costs 11,554 Kinah to start, & that character will now have 3 extra rows of Storage in the form of a Legion Warehouse.


Gathering
To reduce the amount of "You have stopped Gathering" failure messages, while you are trying to farm some Mats. The trick is to wait for the Node to go Inactive before re-clicking. It only takes a fraction of a second longer to wait but your success's will be a lot better.



Movement Modifiers - Stat Modifiers caused by movement. - Source - PowerWiki
Changes to your Characters Stats occur during Movement, whether in Combat or not. These can be Utilised in your favour if used correctly. See the list below:

Foward Movement
  • +10% Physical Damage
  • +10% Magic Damage
  • -20% Physical Defense
  • -20% Magic Defense

Backward Movement
  • +500 Block
  • +500 Parry
  • -70% Physical Damage
  • -40% Movement Speed

Left / Right Strafe
  • +300 Evasion
  • -70% Physical Damage
  • -20% Movement Speed


PowerWiki Links
Some Guides are available on the Aion PowerWiki, & there would be no point in re-writing a perfectly good guide. So I will list the ones that may be useful & help Gameplay.
  • Macros - The ability to Automate certain functions in game to save repetitive key presses.


PvP Chat Window
An Early warning system to Enemy Players in the area. This is basically a Tab from your Chat box, made specifically to show only Actions performed by the Enemy Faction. Any buffs, or skill use will show here, before any Red Dot appears on your Mini-map, giving you time to decide whether to Fight or Run.
  • Setup a Tab called PvP. You can call it something else if you wish.
  • Drag the Tab to another section of your Game Screen. The preferred place is Top Left.
  • Open Tab Options for this Window, and make sure the only options ticked are the 5 Enemy Actions.
  • Text color can also be changed to help catch your attention.



XP Gain - Source - Aion Source
Table showing Base XP +/- % gained while Grinding Solo. ( * 60% at level 10 or below, 70% Above level 10)

Level Of Mob
% of Base XP Gain
-10 or Less
1%
-9 Levels
10%
-8 Levels
20%
-7 Levels
30%
-6 Levels
40%
-5 Levels
50%
-4 Levels
60 or 70% *
-3 Levels
90%
-2 Levels
100%
-1 Level
100%
Same Level
100%
+1 Level
105%
+2 Levels
110%
+3 Levels
115%
+4 Levels
120%

The XP gain for groups is somewhat more complicated. The calculations are on the Source link, but will take a calculator & patience if you want the figures.


Ok, so now you have some useful Info, enjoy using it.

another nice post.

The last few numbers in your table should be "+" and not "-"

W.r.t. the pvp chat window, I changed the colour of those messages to a bright red, which can't be missed if they do pop up. :-)
