&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://kozenguide.com/hg/?a=StbbiqlOi" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/Kozen');" title="Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide"&gt;Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide&lt;/a&gt; is easily the best &lt;a href="http://aiononline.com/"&gt;Aion&lt;/a&gt; guide I have reviewed so far because you can't beat it in terms of quality, price, and value. This guide is highly recommended.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/10da1zd.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I was quite impressed with both the &lt;a href="http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/09/review-ftw-guides-aion-online-leveling.html"&gt;FTW Guides&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-kfguides-elyos-and-asmodian-1-30.html"&gt;KFGuides&lt;/a&gt; leveling guides, and still am because they are great at what they do, but in my opinion they just aren't as good a deal compared to &lt;a href="http://kozenguide.com/hg/?a=StbbiqlOi" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/Kozen');" title="Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide"&gt;Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide&lt;/a&gt;. Please keep reading for my detailed analysis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Firstly and most importantly, &lt;a href="http://kozenguide.com/hg/?a=StbbiqlOi" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/Kozen');" title="Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide"&gt;Kozen&lt;/a&gt; offers the best value for your dollar. In Kozen's bundle, you get: a 1-50 leveling guide for &lt;b&gt;both factions&lt;/b&gt; (currently up to level 40), an Abyss guide, a crafting &amp;amp; gathering guide, an enchantments, manastone, &amp;amp; godstone guide, a flight guide, and finally a kinah guide. All this for cheaper than the competition!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;1-50 Leveling Guides&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Kozen's guide contains &lt;a href="http://kozenguide.com/hg/?a=StbbiqlOi" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/Kozen');" title="Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide"&gt;1-50 guides for both the Elyos and Asmodian&lt;/a&gt; factions and they are almost of the same quality as both FTW Guides' and KFGuides' leveling guides. Each leveling guide contains tons of maps, screenshots, colour-coded instructions, and tips to maximize your efficiency. The only improvements I think he could make is to number-key the maps for quicker reference and add some helpful hyperlinks to web resources (e.g., Aion Armory).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://i37.tinypic.com/35am8vo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/35am8vo.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Abyss Guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This mini-guide teaches you everything you need to know about the Abyss PvP area. How do you get inside? What are faction strongholds? How is the zone laid out? What are Abyss Points and Ranks? What are Artifacts and where are they located? What about fortresses? The guide is full of detail, screenshots, and maps.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Crafting &amp;amp; Gathering Guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This mini-guide contains a great overview of all the crafting professions in Aion, including who should take up what job, where you go to learn them, and an explanation of work orders and procc'ing. It also teaches you the basics of gathering, which is necessary to support your crafting profession.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Enchantments, Manastones &amp;amp; Godstones Guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Enchantments, manastones, and godstones are an extremely important part of the game and this mini-guide teaches you pretty much everything you'll need to know to get yourself started. How will enchanting affect your gear? What manastones should you watch out for? How can godstones improves your weapons immensely?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Flight Guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Learning how to fly in Aion can be difficult but it is an extremely important skill to master. This mini-guide teaches you everything you need to know about flying and gliding, including the controls and limitations. It also teaches you where to buy your new wings and how to equip them. Finally it highlights all the titles that will boost your aerial performance and tons of screenshots to show the progression of wings throughout the game for both the Elyos and Asmodians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Kinah Guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This last mini-guide is a very handy one to have. Let's face it, kinah (money) management is one of the toughest of Aion's systems to master but it is also the single-most important thing that will keep your character viable in the game. You need to know how to earn it and spend it most efficiently and this guide is a great tool to help you get started.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Extra Goodies&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;60-day money back guarantee (no risk)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Free updates and new mini-guides as they are added (levels 40-50 coming soon)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Member forums (a great place to chat and ask questions)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Member videos (plenty of excellent tutorials)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Clean and crisp guide and website design (easy to read and navigate)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I really can't stress what a good deal &lt;a href="http://kozenguide.com/hg/?a=StbbiqlOi" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/Kozen');" title="Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide"&gt;Kozen's Aion Leveling &amp;amp; Mastery Guide&lt;/a&gt; is. You get so much value compared to all the other guides out there that I think it's the most responsible way to spend your hard-earned money. Since this is my new top pick, I'm going to give it a &lt;b&gt;10/10&lt;/b&gt;. You won't be sorry you bought it -- I guarantee.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This post originally appeared at &lt;a href="aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com"&gt;AionLevelingGuide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7342141156367465068-7958936500184257561?l=www.aionlevelingguide.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/10/review-kozens-aion-leveling-mastery.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Snafzg)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i36.tinypic.com/2w4k0pe_th.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342141156367465068.post-2226911735172101525</guid><pubDate>Thu, 08 Oct 2009 19:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-23T07:39:13.713-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">strategy guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">leveling guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">asmodian</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ftwguides</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">elyos</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">aion</category><title>Review: FTW Guides Aion Online Leveling Guide (Elyos and Asmodian)</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://tracker.swgn.com/?p=ashling&amp;amp;a=thegreenskin&amp;amp;sku=14-000016" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Check out the guide"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i37.tinypic.com/fnel47.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;FTW Guides (formerly Ashling's World) has put together an excellent &lt;a href="http://tracker.swgn.com/?p=ashling&amp;amp;a=thegreenskin&amp;amp;sku=14-000014" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/FTW');"&gt;Online Aion Leveling Guide&lt;/a&gt;. The "online" part of the title means you actually view it through a webpage, which makes it very lightweight and interactive. I think &lt;a href="http://aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-kfguides-elyos-and-asmodian-1-30.html"&gt;KFGuides 1-50 Aion Leveling Guide&lt;/a&gt; just got some competition for the best Aion leveling guide.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="http://i34.tinypic.com/s5k3sm.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The motto for FTW Guides is "We do the work, you have the fun!" and looking at their new &lt;a href="http://tracker.swgn.com/?p=ashling&amp;amp;a=thegreenskin&amp;amp;sku=14-000016" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/FTW');"&gt;Online Aion Leveling Guides&lt;/a&gt;, it's easy to see the massive amount of work they did. Having fun is still up to you. ;)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This guide can most easily be compared to &lt;a href="http://aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-kfguides-elyos-and-asmodian-1-30.html"&gt;KFGuides' 1-50 Aion Leveling Guides&lt;/a&gt;, so I might as well point out the similarities and differences for you as there are a number of both.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of their quality of instruction and the speed at which they'll help you level, they're both pretty darn close. Each guide walks you through Aion quest-by-quest and zone-by-zone very accurately and efficiently. To be honest, you can't go wrong with either of these guides in this department.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where I think FTW Guides's &lt;a href="http://tracker.swgn.com/?p=ashling&amp;amp;a=thegreenskin&amp;amp;sku=14-000016" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/FTW');"&gt;Online Aion Leveling Guide&lt;/a&gt; slightly outperforms is that it is entirely web-based, where as the KFGuides Aion Leveling Guides come in the form of PDFs. KFGuides does offer &lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=73494&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');"&gt;a few online freebies&lt;/a&gt; and other helpful content through their website, but FTW pulls everything together in a single place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each quest has a little map button beside it with a number key. Clicking that map button instantly brings up a map with numbers on it. Find the number your looking for and you quickly know where to direct yourself. KFGuides has a similar map as well but it precedes each zone chapter so there's a lot of scrolling back and forth I find. That said, printing out the map would solve this problem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There's also a very helpful sidebar with every single quest in the chapter listed alphabetically linking straight to &lt;a href="http://aionarmory.com/"&gt;AionArmory&lt;/a&gt;. The quest database page loads in a nice frame right on top of your page so you can get any extra information you're looking for. That's a big help when you need it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The FTW Guide looks a bit more polished in my opinion as well. Like I said &lt;a href="http://aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-kfguides-elyos-and-asmodian-1-30.html"&gt;in my KFGuides review&lt;/a&gt;, I'm a big fan of simplicity, which is why I gave it such a good score. Having read through the FTW Guide, they manage to keep things simple and lightweight with a more appealing style (for my tastes anyway). See below for an example.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://tracker.swgn.com/?p=ashling&amp;amp;a=thegreenskin&amp;amp;sku=14-000016" imageanchor="1" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/FTW');" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Check out the guide"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i33.tinypic.com/5jwrcl.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
KFGuides is  a bit better if you like to print out your guides and keep track of your progress with a hardcopy because it is designed as a booklet. A lot of the functionality of the FTW Guide is lost when you print it because you don't have access to browser functionality and web links.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To work around this, FTW includes a tiny free program called &lt;a href="http://www.snapfiles.com/get/deskpins.html"&gt;DeskPins (1.3.0)&lt;/a&gt;. This software will allow you to make your Online Aion Guide window "always on top" so you don't have to alt-tab out of Aion over and over again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The final point of comparison I will make is price. KFGuides charges $39.99 per 1-50 faction leveling guide and they currently do not offer bundled pricing for customers buying both guides. FTW Guides charges $29.99 per 1-50 faction guide and they &lt;i&gt;do&lt;/i&gt; offer a bundle (&lt;a href="http://tracker.swgn.com/?p=ashling&amp;amp;a=thegreenskin&amp;amp;sku=14-000016" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/FTW');"&gt;$44.99 for both Elyos and Asmodian&lt;/a&gt;). Apparently, this is special pricing because they still need to update 30-50 leveling content. The price will go up once the guide is "finished" in October. Any and all updates are free just like KFGuides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am really impressed with this guide. So much so, that I'm giving it a &lt;b&gt;9.5/10&lt;/b&gt; score. KFGuides is an excellent guide, but taking into account the price difference and extra online goodies you get with FTW, the &lt;a href="http://tracker.swgn.com/?p=ashling&amp;amp;a=thegreenskin&amp;amp;sku=14-000014" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/FTW');"&gt;Online Aion Leveling Guide&lt;/a&gt; is currently my top recommendation for potential customers. The value is just a little better.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Here's a video that shows off more of the FTW Leveling Guide:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;The KFGuides &lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=334392&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341&amp;amp;cl=73494" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');" target="_blank" title="Elyos 1-50 guide"&gt;Elyos&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=334329&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341&amp;amp;cl=73494" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');" target="_blank" title="Asmodian 1-50 guide"&gt;Asmodian&lt;/a&gt; 1-50 leveling guides are amazing. Step-by-step easy to follow instructions show you the fastest way to level your new character in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://aiononline.com/" target="_blank" title="Aion Online"&gt;Aion&lt;/a&gt;. This leveling guide is highly recommended for those wanting the fast track to level 50. If you don't believe me, why don't you take a quick peek at their &lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=73494&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');" target="ejejcsingle" title="Free 1-10 leveling guide"&gt;FREE 1-10 leveling guide&lt;/a&gt;?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="http://i36.tinypic.com/2vjx890.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
No matter what Aion faction you pick,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=334329&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341&amp;amp;cl=73494" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');" target="_blank" title="Asmodian 1-50 guide"&gt;Asmodian&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;or&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?ii=334392&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341&amp;amp;cl=73494" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');" target="_blank" title="Elyos 1-50 guide"&gt;Elyos&lt;/a&gt;, KFGuides has you covered with their&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=73494&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');" target="_blank" title="View information about the guides"&gt;1-50 leveling guides&lt;/a&gt;. Personally, I’m a minimalist kind of guy so I truly appreciate the simple and straightforward nature of their guides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These guides are extremely direct and easy to follow. They’re basically layed out like a task list. Step one – Go here and get this quest. Step 2 – go there to complete the quest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of course, it isn’t just about getting quests and completing them. It also gives you strategic instruction so you can level as efficiently as possible. For example, while you’re in this area killing these monsters for this quest, make sure to collect these nearby resources. Another example is, while you’re in this town buy your skill books for the next level because you won’t be back for a while. There are many more efficiencies laid out in this guide, but I don’t want to spoil them all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each chapter is preceded by a custom map with a number of specific locations marked out. As you progress through the guide, certain steps will reference these locations, so it’s quite handy to have around. Also, the guide actually includes screenshots of certain key items you’ll want to keep your eye out for. Including these images will save you quite a bit of time in trying to figure them out for yourself based on quest descriptions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And again, I can’t stress the beautiful simplicity of this guide’s layout. I’m using the Asmodian guide myself and have a printed out copy sitting at my desk. As I complete a step I simply check it off with a pen and move on to the next one referencing the map when necessary.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;When you purchase a copy of KFGuides’ Elyos or Asmodian 1-50 Leveling Guides, you’ll receive membership to their site, which provides you with free updates via email &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You should note that these leveling guides are only intended to cover Aion from a leveling point of view. If you are interested in a newbie guide, crafting guide, profession guide, or enchantment, manastone, and godstone guide, KFGuides has&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://www.e-junkie.com/ecom/gb.php?cl=73494&amp;amp;c=ib&amp;amp;aff=76341" onclick="javascript: pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/KFGuide');" target="_blank" title="View information about the guides"&gt;some freebies&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;you might be interested in.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/guide?roia=%212ydrvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAANm9CAABe4w-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide"&gt;Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide&lt;/a&gt; by Killer Guides really teaches new players everything they need to know to get started as either an &lt;a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Asmodians" target="_blank" title="Asmodian"&gt;Asmodian&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Elyos" target="_blank" title="Elyos"&gt;Elyos&lt;/a&gt; (both factions are covered). It doesn’t go into excruciating detail in any one area but provides comprehensive coverage over a broad range of topics, including: questing, grinding and kinah-earning strategies, classes, crafting, flying, items, macros, and the Abyss just to name a few.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border="0" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2mx3gus.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
If you’re looking for one guide that covers just about everything in &lt;a href="http://aiononline.com/" target="_blank" title="Aion Online"&gt;Aion&lt;/a&gt;, Killer Guides’ &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/guide?roia=%212ydrvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAANm9CAABe4w-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide"&gt;Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide&lt;/a&gt; is the best option available right now. It could go into a bit more strategic detail in some areas, however, I believe it provides ample coverage to get you started. Heck, it taught me quite a few things and I have been playing since closed beta 1.&amp;nbsp; I also understand why they may be holding back a little: they publish a number of other &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/hints?roia=%21gJRfvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYA-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Guide Bundle"&gt;specific class guides&lt;/a&gt; and a &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/kinah?roia=%21gJRfvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYA-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Kinah Earning Guide"&gt;kinah-earning guide&lt;/a&gt; as well. To include all that would make the guide too big and cut down on sales of those other guides.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/guide?roia=%212ydrvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAANm9CAABe4w-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide"&gt;This guide&lt;/a&gt; covers a lot of areas of the game. The class section gives a good overview of each class and includes some strategies taken straight out of their class guides. This should help you make an informed decision on which class to play and may even teach you something about the class you’ve already picked.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The guide also covers all the basics, including weapons, armor, jewelery, potions, power shards, food, manastones, godstones, enchantment stones, stigma stones and divine power. The author writes about in-game economics by covering inventory management, personal stores, the auction house, and basic kinah earning strategies (kinah is money in Aion).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The section on the Abyss is quite good. As one of the most important areas of the game, it’s nice to have it covered in such detail. Readers are given a great overview of the massive PvP area, including mobs, Abyss Points, fortresses, artifacts, and the Dreadgion. In this PvP-enabled space, it’s good to know which enemy players to target in what order. This guide gives you guidance in this area, which is especially helpful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7342141156367465068&amp;amp;postID=3638642549317630719#" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i27.tinypic.com/dcvpg9.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;I think they did a pretty decent job with the leveling section of this guide too. It’s nowhere near as comprehensive as &lt;a href="http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/09/review-kfguides-elyos-and-asmodian-1-30.html"&gt;KFGuides’ 1-30 leveling guides for Elyos and Asmodians&lt;/a&gt;, but that isn’t what this guide is intended for. It isn’t a step-by-step walk through but it does give you a general idea of the areas you should be in at certain levels (see the screenshot to the right). The guide covers Elyos and Asmodian questing and grinding from levels 1-45, however, the sections aren’t all complete as of the time of this review.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Now is probably a good time to mention that some sections in this guide aren’t finished. That might be a problem if they didn’t provide you with free updates; but they do! &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/guide?roia=%212ydrvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAANm9CAABe4w-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide"&gt;Buying this guide from Killer Guides&lt;/a&gt; grants you access to free updates every time the author makes them. Over the course of my review period, this guide was updated three times!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You will notice a few mentions of “Patch 1.5 Updates” throughout this guide. &lt;a href="http://www.aionsource.com/forum/aion-discussion/20946-patch-notes-v1-5-update-shadow-balaur.html" target="_blank" title="Translated 1.5 patch notes"&gt;Patch 1.5&lt;/a&gt; was a huge patch for Aion that introduced a lot of new content and updates to existing content and game mechanics. This just goes to show you that they are willing to update the guide along with the game, providing their readers with the most recent information available.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I could go into detail about all the other areas of the guide but I won’t because this review would be way too long. I think it’s fair to see that they’ve covered all the game’s bases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One final thing I’ll mention is the appendix section, which is quite interesting. One of the appendices is called “Recommendations for Dealing with Other Players,” where they give you some valuable information about dealing with GMs, griefers, farmers, and botters. They also suggest some strategies to deal with tiredness, stress, grinding, PvP, bugs, and lag/disconnects. You don’t often see sections like these in strategy guides, so it’s quite refreshing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am giving the &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/guide?roia=%212ydrvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAANm9CAABe4w-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide"&gt;Unofficial Aion Strategy Guide&lt;/a&gt; by Killer Guides an &lt;b&gt;8.5&lt;/b&gt;/&lt;b&gt;10&lt;/b&gt;. Overall, I think it’s a really good starter guide for new players and will even teach veterans a thing or two about the game. Some of the sections are incomplete and it could benefit from a bit deeper strategy. The nice thing about the free updates though is that you’ll always have an up-to-date version. After all, the game hasn’t even released yet, so much of it is forgivable at this stage.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This post originally appeared at &lt;a href="aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com"&gt;AionLevelingGuide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7342141156367465068-3638642549317630719?l=www.aionlevelingguide.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/09/review-killer-guides-unofficial-aion.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Snafzg)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i29.tinypic.com/29ftbax_th.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342141156367465068.post-3559927895609497577</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:44:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-09T17:12:19.924-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">killerguides</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">strategy guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">kinah</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">aion</category><title>Review: Killer Guides Aion Kinah Guide</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/kinah?roia=%21rEGVvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOMVCAABiUQ-A" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" title="Check out the guide"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i29.tinypic.com/210m445.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/kinah?roia=%21rEGVvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOMVCAABiUQ-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Kinah Guide (Killer Guides)"&gt;Unofficial Aion Kinah Guide&lt;/a&gt; by Killer Guides is quite possibly the most comprehensive money-making strategy guide for the game. It adequately covers Aion’s various economic facets and will help you make your character better as a whole, not just a mindless grinder with deep pockets.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border="0" src="http://i36.tinypic.com/2vjx890.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Coming in at a whopping 145 pages, the &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/kinah?roia=%21rEGVvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOMVCAABiUQ-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Kinah Guide (Killer Guides)"&gt;Unofficial Aion Kinah Guide&lt;/a&gt; by Killer Guides leaves very few ’stones’ unturned. Not only does it cover the monetary benefits of enchantment stones, &lt;a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Manastones" target="_blank" title="manastones"&gt;manastones&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Godstones" target="_blank" title="godstones"&gt;Godstones&lt;/a&gt;, it explains trade brokers (auction house), personal stores, warehouses, community tips, and pershaps most importantly, tradeskill professions (crafting).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Perhaps the thing I like most about this guide is that its mission isn’t to simply point out the best grinding spots (even though it does) and tell you to mindlessly farm there all day long. Instead, the main aim of this guide is to assist players to keep a steady income while developing their characters.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This includes detailing good places to grind, the most rewarding quests, listing which enemies drop uncommon items, how to make the most out of gathering crafting materials, and providing essential advice on crafting valuable items (which seems to be the best kinah maker).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7342141156367465068&amp;amp;postID=3559927895609497577#" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i26.tinypic.com/2w5oi1f.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;The guide also lists twelve excellent quick start tips that all future kinah millionaires should follow. One of these tips is to sell items at a reasonable price, which sounds obvious but apparently isn’t to many players. Often, players become overly opportunistic or greedy and try selling items for unrealistic sums. The end result is a warehouse full of unsold goods and wasted fees at the auction house. Do your research and price accordingly to get the best return on investment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The “Kinah Grinding” section is especially helpful, even though its name belies its content. For most people, &lt;i&gt;grinding&lt;/i&gt; means setting up shop in one area and mindlessly killing creatures for hours on end. This guide covers all the zones in the game (Elyos and Asmodian) from levels 1-20 (20-50 coming in free future updates) and includes farming strategies, monster drop lists, quest rewards, and other kinah-earning opportunities instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;A great deal of time is spent explaining &lt;a href="http://aiononline.com/" target="_blank" title="Aion Online"&gt;Aion&lt;/a&gt;’s crafting system because according to the author, crafting is the best way to get rich while developing your character. It starts by covering all the work order quests boosting your profession level up to 150. Next, it presents a full recipie list for each craft. It doesn’t say where these recipes all come from, but you can use the names to search the &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/" target="_blank" title="Aion Armory"&gt;AionArmory&lt;/a&gt;. Finally, it provides strategies for selling crafted items that will earn you the most kinah.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This guide was created during the closed and open beta phases for Aion, so it doesn’t currently cover everything in the game up to max level. However, purchasing this guide will grant you access to free updates as they are made, which shouldn’t be too long after launch.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One thing I should point out is that the official guide page is advertising a few features that aren’t in the version of the guide I reviewed (e.g., addons, 10 tips for personal stores, etc.). I assume these will come with future updates as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am giving the &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/kinah?roia=%21rEGVvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOMVCAABiUQ-A" target="_blank" title="Unofficial Aion Kinah Guide (Killer Guides)"&gt;Unofficial Aion Kinah Guide&lt;/a&gt; a &lt;b&gt;9&lt;/b&gt;/&lt;b&gt;10&lt;/b&gt; because I think it covers everything essential to earning kinah in Aion while still showing players a fun experience to holistically improve their characters.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This post originally appeared at &lt;a href="aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com"&gt;AionLevelingGuide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7342141156367465068-3559927895609497577?l=www.aionlevelingguide.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/09/review-killer-guides-aion-kinah-guide.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Snafzg)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i29.tinypic.com/210m445_th.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342141156367465068.post-3273497372788633046</guid><pubDate>Sun, 04 Oct 2009 22:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-09T17:12:38.227-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">killerguides</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">strategy guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">assassin</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">class guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">aion</category><title>Review: Killer Guides Assassin Class Guide</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://roia.biz/ts/n/DsN.vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAQgAAYh9mMQA-A/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="Check out the guide..."&gt;&lt;img alt="Assassin Class Guide cover" border="0" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2ylwob8.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;&lt;a href="http://roia.biz/ts/n/DsN.vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAQgAAYh9mMQA-A/" title="Killer Guides Assassin Class Guide"&gt;The Killer Guides Assassin Class Guide&lt;/a&gt; gives you almost everything you need to know about playing an &lt;a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Assassin"&gt;Assassin&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href="http://aiononline.com/"&gt;Aion&lt;/a&gt;. You won't really figure out everything until you actually play the game, but this guide will help you do it more effectively and efficiently. It basically eliminates a lot of trial and error, which might seem fun to some but a waste of time to others.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border="0" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2mx3gus.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Here's an overview of everything you'll get in the &lt;a href="http://roia.biz/ts/n/DsN.vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAQgAAYh9mMQA-A/" title="Killer Guides Assassin Class Guide"&gt;Killer Guides Assassin Class Guide&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Class introduction&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
What is your role when solo or in a group? What are your strengths and weaknesses? What are the differences between Asmodian and Elyos Assassins? What are some of the key characteristics and attributes that make your class stand out from all the others? What  weapons and armor should you wear? You'll find the answers to these questions and more in the guide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Combat strategy&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The combat strategy for Assassins may sound simple: "Kill fast; don't die," but there's obviously some strategy involved in that. How should you best fight while flying? How do you keep the fight on the ground to maximize your potential? What are some aerial and ground techniques that will help you out in a tough situation? What are the best skill rotations for your level range? Again, this guide contains the answers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Leveling guide&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
This class guide actually contains a detailed leveling guide as well. Both Elyos and Asmodians are covered from levels 1-30 (updates to 50 will be made available). The leveling guide isn't as comprehensive as other guides I've reviewed (&lt;a href="http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/09/review-ftw-guides-aion-online-leveling.html"&gt;FTW Guides&lt;/a&gt; or &lt;a href="http://aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com/2009/09/review-kfguides-elyos-and-asmodian-1-30.html"&gt;KFGuides&lt;/a&gt;), but it still gives you a decent overview that is helpful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Player vs. Player&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You know Aion is a PvP game and Assassins are usually the best PvPers, right? This guide covers PvP as an Assassin quite well.&amp;nbsp; You might dish out high damage but you can't take much of it, so what are some of the strategies that will&amp;nbsp; make you successful? What should you do in a 1v1 situation vs. a &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/gladiator?roia=%21YKT3vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLVCAABiIg-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Gladiator Class Guide"&gt;Gladiator&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/templar?roia=%21SdTjvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLlCAABiMA-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Templar Class Guide"&gt;Templar&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://roia.biz/ts/n/YFqavq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAQgAAYjNmMQA-A/" target="_blank" title="Aion Ranger Class Guide"&gt;Ranger&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/cleric?roia=%21azJkvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLRCAABiIQ-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Cleric Class Guide"&gt;Cleric&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/chanter?roia=%21vh1Nvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLNCAABiIA-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Chanter Class Guide"&gt;Chanter&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/sorcerer?roia=%21zZB0vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLdCAABiKg-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Sorceror Class Guide"&gt;Sorcerer&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/spiritmaster?roia=%21JdPdvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLhCAABiNQ-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Spiritmaster Guide"&gt;Spiritmaster&lt;/a&gt;? What Stigmas, gear, and enhancements should you focus on? The PvP section of this guide even contains useful tips from other level 50 Asssassins to give you even further insight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Macros&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Macros aren't that important in PvE but they're a Godsend for PvP. You can live without them but your life as an Assassin will be much harder. This guide contains a number of good sample macros every Assassin should become comfortable using.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, the &lt;a href="http://roia.biz/ts/n/DsN.vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAQgAAYh9mMQA-A/" title="Killer Guides Assassin Class Guide"&gt;Assassin Class Guide by Killer Guides&lt;/a&gt; is quite good. It's still not 100% complete (e.g., 30-50 leveling guides, farming, and kinah making) but customers will receive free updates when they are available. The last update was made on October 5th, 2009. I'm giving this class guide a score of &lt;b&gt;8.5/10&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This post originally appeared at &lt;a href="aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com"&gt;AionLevelingGuide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7342141156367465068-3273497372788633046?l=www.aionlevelingguide.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/10/review-killer-guides-assassin-class.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Snafzg)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i38.tinypic.com/2ylwob8_th.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342141156367465068.post-1877302091805736655</guid><pubDate>Sat, 03 Oct 2009 13:59:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-09T17:12:59.153-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">killerguides</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">strategy guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">class guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">ranger</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">review</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">aion</category><title>Review: Killer Guides Ranger Class Guide</title><description>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/ranger?roia=%21uOBJvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLZCAABiMw-A" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank" title="Check out the guide"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i28.tinypic.com/2rxb0qc.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;The &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/ranger?roia=%21uOBJvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLZCAABiMw-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Ranger Class Guide"&gt;Aion Ranger Class Guide&lt;/a&gt; by Killer Guides contains a lot of valuable information for new Rangers, including: skill lists with insightful explanations, example hotbar layouts, PvE strategies, PvP strategies, and tips to level your character and keep him or her equipped in the best gear. It isn’t missing much.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img border="0" src="http://i38.tinypic.com/2mx3gus.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The table of contents is quite extensive for the Killer Guides &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/ranger?roia=%21uOBJvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLZCAABiMw-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Ranger Class Guide"&gt;Aion Ranger Class Guide&lt;/a&gt;. It starts off by listing the pros and cons of playing a Ranger and then touches upon the differences between Elyos and Asmodian Rangers. It then delves into what leveling a Ranger in Aion entails from levels 1-10 and 10-50.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The author of the &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/ranger?roia=%21uOBJvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLZCAABiMw-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Ranger Class Guide"&gt;Ranger guide&lt;/a&gt; gives you valuable instructions on the best ways to use your various skills from levels 1-50, including melee and ranged attacks, traps, and buffs. It goes into great detail about skills such as: &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/spell.aspx?id=559" target="_blank" title="Hide skill"&gt;Hide&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/spell.aspx?id=555" target="_blank" title="Counterattack skill"&gt;Counterattack&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/spell.aspx?id=789" target="_blank" title="Mau Form skill"&gt;Mau Form&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/spell.aspx?id=636" target="_blank" title="Trap of Slowing skill"&gt;Trap of Slowing&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/spell.aspx?id=677" target="_blank" title="Aerial Wild Shot skill"&gt;Aerial Wild Shot&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/spell.aspx?id=671" target="_blank" title="Shock Arrow skill"&gt;Shock Arrow&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/spell.aspx?id=701" target="_blank" title="Heal Wings skill"&gt;Heal Wings&lt;/a&gt; (just to name a few).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are sections for Zones, Equipment, Farming, and Battle Strategies as well.&amp;nbsp; The Battle Strategies section is especially helpful because it shares examples hotbar layouts from levels 1-50 (grouped by every 10 levels). It then goes on to describe viable attack orders and combinations and what to do in various situations such as PvE, 1 vs. 1, mass PvP, and sieging. For an example, look to the image to the right.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=7342141156367465068&amp;amp;postID=1877302091805736655#" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="Screenshot from the guide"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://i28.tinypic.com/tahhjr.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;As you can see, the guide is written in an easy-to-read paragraph format. This makes it simple to follow along with. My suggestion is to read through the entire guide once to get a general feel for your class and the strategies and skills you will be using. After your first read through, go back and concentrate on specific sections related to the level range you’re currently at.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The guide comes in two PDF versions: normal (graphical) and printer-friendly. I enjoy reading the normal version (see right) when I’m on my computer but prefer the printer-friendly version as a hardcopy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The most recent version of the guide has an updated section on the best strategies to use against a &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/gladiator?roia=%21YKT3vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLVCAABiIg-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Gladiator Class Guide"&gt;Gladiator&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/templar?roia=%21SdTjvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLlCAABiMA-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Templar Class Guide"&gt;Templar&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/assassin?roia=%21iRplvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLJCAABiHw-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Assassin Class Guide"&gt;Assassin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/cleric?roia=%21azJkvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLRCAABiIQ-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Cleric Class Guide"&gt;Cleric&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/chanter?roia=%21vh1Nvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLNCAABiIA-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Chanter Class Guide"&gt;Chanter&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/sorcerer?roia=%21zZB0vq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLdCAABiKg-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Sorceror Class Guide"&gt;Sorcerer&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/spiritmaster?roia=%21JdPdvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLhCAABiNQ-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Spiritmaster Guide"&gt;Spiritmaster&lt;/a&gt; in a 1v1 battle. What are some big things you need to watch out for when fighting them? What are some of the  tactics to keep them at bay? This PvP section has you covered.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One minor issue is that some of the skill names are a bit out of date. You can find the most recent &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/search.aspx?browse=6.8" target="_blank" title="Aion Armory Ranger Skill List"&gt;Ranger skill list&lt;/a&gt; on the Aion Armory database. I’m sure this will be updated in a future version soon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;a href="http://www.killerguides.com/guide/aion/ranger?roia=%21uOBJvq1BAAJ0pmM1ODYAVQAAOLZCAABiMw-A" target="_blank" title="Aion Ranger Class Guide"&gt;Aion Ranger Class Guide&lt;/a&gt; isn’t complete just yet ( a couple sections are still in development), but if you purchase it through Killer Guides, you will receive free updates. As of right now, I'll give this guide an &lt;b&gt;8.5&lt;/b&gt;/&lt;b&gt;10&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This post originally appeared at &lt;a href="aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com"&gt;AionLevelingGuide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7342141156367465068-1877302091805736655?l=www.aionlevelingguide.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/09/review-killer-guides-ranger-class-guide.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Snafzg)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i28.tinypic.com/2rxb0qc_th.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7342141156367465068.post-303984802390796544</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Sep 2009 00:05:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-05T22:49:47.229-04:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">strategy guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">free</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">leveling guide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">aion</category><title>My Free Aion Leveling Guide for Newbies</title><description>This free &lt;a href="http://aionlevelingguide.com/" target="_blank" title="Aion leveling guide"&gt;Aion leveling guide&lt;/a&gt; is not a level 1-50 walkthrough designed to hold your hand every step of the way as you level. If that’s what you’re looking for, there are many amazing options for you to choose from. Heck, I encourage you to buy them because they’re incredibly handy. I’m using one myself!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Instead, this guide is meant to give you a general understanding of the leveling process in&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://aiononline.com/" target="_blank" title="Aion Online"&gt;Aion&lt;/a&gt;. You see, there are quite a few different ways you can progress your character that new players may not be immediately aware of. They include:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Questing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grinding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Grouping&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Raiding&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Player vs. Player&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Resource Gathering&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;I suggest that you frequently change up your leveling methods in Aion so as not to burn yourself out. Grinding all day doesn’t sound very fun, does it? I personally wouldn’t want to solo quest for 4 hours on end. Boooooring!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why not take a break from all that running around back and forth (solo questing) and set up camp for a brief grinding session if you find an area with creatures you can easily farm? After you’ve done that for a little while, start asking around for a group to kill some tougher creatures or even raid a dungeon. Finally, why not cap off your play session with a quick trip through a rift into enemy lands or travel into &lt;a href="http://impetusium.blogspot.com/2009/08/abyss-compendium-access-points-ranks.html" target="_blank" title="Thulf's guide to the Abyss"&gt;the Abyss&lt;/a&gt; for some thrilling PvP combat? Oh, and don’t forget to gather resources as you come across them. Not only do they give a little bit of XP, they are also worth money!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here’s a simple breakdown of each method of progression.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;QUESTING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you’ve played&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://worldofwarcraft.com/" target="_blank" title="World of Warcraft"&gt;World of Warcraft&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;of any other recent MMORPG, you’re probably familiar with&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Poeta+quest" target="_blank" title="Aion quest examples"&gt;questing&lt;/a&gt;. Well, Aion isn’t going to win many innovation awards in this area because it’s pretty darn similar!&amp;nbsp;&lt;img alt=";)" src="http://aionlevelingguide.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;You find an NPC who wants you to perform a task, you travel to a specific location, you perform the task, and then you return to the NPC for your reward. Some quests require that you kill things. Some require that you collect things. Some require that you deliver things. It’s all pretty basic fare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, there are special quests called &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/search.aspx?browse=4.1" target="_blank" title="Aion Armory mission quests"&gt;campaign quests or mission quests&lt;/a&gt;. These quests are parts of a big chain that reveal your character’s destiny. Think of them as the really super important quests that you want to make sure to complete. Why? Mostly because they tend to give you really good gear but also because they reveal the story of your character, &lt;a href="http://powerwiki.na.aiononline.com/aion/Lore" target="_blank" title="Atreia"&gt;Atreia&lt;/a&gt;, and Aion. They tend to be accompanied by cool cinematic cut scenes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;GRINDING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes you’ll find it’s just more efficient to spend a little while grinding. Certain creatures will be weaker to certain classes (e.g., monsters with poor magical resistance are great fodder for Sorcerors), which means you can really earn a lot of XP in a short amount of time. I suggest finding creatures a level or two below you for maximum efficiency. You don’t have to grind alone either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;GROUPING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sometimes you’ll encounter more difficult creatures that yield really good rewards like gear, kinah, or &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/item.aspx?id=141000001" target="_blank" title="stigma shard"&gt;stigma shards&lt;/a&gt;. These might be too difficult for you to solo, so why not invite a friend or two along to help you out? One good strategy is AoE (area of effect) grinding. This will allow you to kill multiple creature at once for maximum results. You also get a group XP bonus, so take advantage of that!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once you reach level 20, your campaign quests become a bit too difficult for you to handle solo. Unless you wait to gain a few levels and then come back to finish them you will have to complete them with the help of a group. Don’t worry though. Because these quests are difficult for everyone, everyone should be interested in grouping up for them. Aion really encourages community play.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;RAIDING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are many dungeons in Aion and you aren’t going to be able to get very far in them without the help of others. Some of the best dungeons and raids are located within the Abyss, which is a huge PvP enabled area. You could go there solo but as it is with schools of fish in the ocean, there is relative safety in numbers. Here’s a very good list of &lt;a href="http://www.aionsource.com/forum/pve-discussion/17028-list-dungeons-raids-currently-aion.html" target="_blank" title="raiding in Aion"&gt;raid dungeons in Aion&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;PLAYER VS PLAYER (PVP)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Some quests will ask you to travel through &lt;a href="http://aionight.blogspot.com/2009/08/aion-rift-system.html" target="_blank" title="Aion rifts"&gt;rifts&lt;/a&gt; (portals) that lead into your enemy’s homelands. Once there, you’re bound to encounter enemy players, which will lead to PvP. You don’t actually gain anything from killing enemies in their homeland, but PvP is still part of your progression path from that aspect.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
You do gain points for killing enemy players in &lt;a href="http://www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm?feature=3406&amp;amp;game=253&amp;amp;bhcp=1" target="_blank" title="A glimpse into the Abyss"&gt;the Abyss&lt;/a&gt; though! They’re called Abyss Points (AP) and the more points you have, the more powerful your character will become. Gaining AP will earn you PvP ranks and you can also spend the AP you earn to buy various powerful abilities, items, and gear. Ignoring PvP and the Abyss will severely limit the potential power of your character. That said, it isn’t entirely necessary if you hate PvP.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;RESOURCE GATHERING&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is probably the least important method of progression, but it really doesn’t hurt to take the time to gather resources (e.g., &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/item.aspx?id=152000402" target="_blank" title="Aria"&gt;aria&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.aionarmory.com/item.aspx?id=152000306" target="_blank" title="Zircon"&gt;zircon&lt;/a&gt;, etc.) while your leveling up in Aion. You receive a minor XP boost for harvesting the items, which is nice. At that point you can either learn &lt;a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Aion-Crafting-Guide&amp;amp;id=2780223" target="_blank" title="Aion professions"&gt;a profession&lt;/a&gt; (e.g., alchemy, tailoring, etc.) and use the materials you’ve gathered to create powerful items or you can just sell them on the auction house for a nice profit and use that money to buy powerful items.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;Review summary:&lt;/b&gt; Avoid this guide like the plague!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many words in the English dictionary describe this guide: Fake; Fraud; Scam; Lie.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The entire homepage for Fantom's Asmodian 1-50 Leveling Guide is filled with lies. It all sounds "too good to be true" and that's because it is. You simply can not level any class to 50 in under 4 days. I doubt Fantom ever leveled a character past 30 in beta, which is why he makes such a bold claim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Feel free to &lt;a href="http://na.aiononline.com/livestatus/character-legion/search?charID=42394&amp;amp;serverID=12"&gt;check him out&lt;/a&gt; in the game's database. Pretty low level for playing 50-60 hours per week, right? Pretty low level considering he knows how to reach 50 in under 4 days and the game's been out for nearly a month already, right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I could go into great detail about every single fraudulent claim on this website but I'm not going to waste my time. I'm not going to waste your time linking to it either. Please save yourself the headache and DO NOT buy Fantom's 1-50 Asmodian Leveling Guide.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I give this guide a score of &lt;b&gt;1/10&lt;/b&gt; because at least the website looks good.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;This post originally appeared at &lt;a href="aionlevelingguide.blogspot.com"&gt;AionLevelingGuide&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7342141156367465068-4925764405646814648?l=www.aionlevelingguide.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://www.aionlevelingguide.com/2009/09/review-fantoms-world-fastest-asmodian-1.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Snafzg)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i38.tinypic.com/2cdwcbd_th.jpg" height="72" width="72" /></item></channel></rss>
