AIONology

Here is a quick video I took of my level 13 Cleric soloing a level 19 crab. This fight took around 3 and a half minutes I’m pretty sure, so it’s not really worth the xp. However, it was fun to try. I’m pretty sure I could have taken a level 20, but I could not find any around.

Here are some videos I took during OB showing some cleric gameplay at level 10 and 12.

The first one is in HD, but to save some space I recorded the other normally.

I have a few more videos I will post once I have uploaded them.

So servers are down for a bit now and there is a new patch to download. I’m downloading it at the moment on three computers and its going pretty fast, hopefully it’s the same for everyone else.

Here is the post from the beta forums:

Please find all the information about this big update on the official website.Patch notes will follow shortly. This update should address several known connectivity issues as well as add a lot of other changes.

EDIT: ALL servers will go down in prepararion for this patch at 03 p.m. PST, 11 p.m. BST (more) and will be back up around 2 hours later.
Please make sure to download the patch once the servers go down and the patch is available.

Patchnotes should be coming soon. We are still working on formatting them.

Here are some of the new patch notes:

I was having some trouble finding Alteno’s wedding ring and I noticed a lot of other people also can’t find it. So here is a picture showing the location and what to look for.

You don’t actually want to look for a ring, the ring is inside a purple “Jewel Box”.

Here is the box:

Here is it’s location on the map:

#1 – (Elyos Sanctum) – Angelic Frippery

I found this store only by accident so I figured it was likely that many other new players also did not know of its existence. The store “Angelic Frippery” has many interesting cosmetic modifications for your character, and we all know that cosmetic mods are the best . Style over substance has always been my motto!

First of all and most importantly is the location of the store! It is located in the NE corner of the Divine Road as seen below.

Everyone wants to look good while they kill things, but the armor you pick up in various places does not always match! So what can you do? Dye it! Yes, the dyes are in this shop. They have Turquoise, Blue, Brown, Purple, and of course Dye Remover. Use dyes to make your armor match and have all the other weak fools non-cool-colored-armor folks stare at you and wonder how you did that. Sadly, not all colors of dye are available here, so my next quest is to find Hot Pink the rest.

Lastly, there is also Plastic Surgery, Hair Dye, and fancy clothing available if you have enough money (you probably won’t for awhile).

Here are some before and after pics of my Gladiator!

If you find any other interesting stores or places make sure to leave a comment and let me know.

So I’m messing around with doing a live feed of me playing in the open beta. The quality probably sucks, but I can’t find a better way to do it so… This is better than nothing at least.

I am playing the American open beta, however I am using the Japanese voices instead of the English voices, but everything else is exactly the same. (Just so people don’t get confused about the version I’m playing.)

Edit: I’m not running the live feed at the moment because it slows my game down a little bit and no one is watching right now. However, if someone wants to watch actually just post a comment and then I’ll turn the live feed back on.

Edit 2: I took the feed off of this stie because it has so many stupid ads that play when you load the page. Go here if you are still interested.

Added another guide! This times if for Elyos characters.

Elyos Leveling Guide

I just added a guide for Asmodian characters with instructions on how to get from level 1 to 10.

Asmodian Leveling Guide

The best way to start leveling fast is to… Choose a character class! Without one of those I’d like to see how far you get. So I have added a class page for each class with at least one video showing a little bit of what each class is like to help you choose before you start playing. It’s harder than I thought it would be to find videos with good players and no horrible music. All videos are also in HD.

Here are the links to each page:

Assassin

Chanter

Cleric

Gladiator

Ranger

Sorcerer

Spiritmaster

Templar

I hope this info can be of at least a little help in choosing your class.
