There is most definitely an Asmo chanter I have watched closely, who gets too high a proc rate for a silence godstone. I am not going to name names because it's forbidden here. I am not sure how it is done, I always assumed the proc was calculated by the server not the client app.

Seems Gameforge have just announced April 17th. as the launch, lot's of pro EU spammers in LFG earlier on today. The EU siege times might suit some people. The ping wont suit America, Oceania, Canada etc. so I don't expect a mass migration at all.

It's almost the end of March and Gameforge haven't even published a Classic release date yet, so don't hold your breath on launch timing. If they get it out in April I will be surprised.

There are some trolls that think that NA players will all want to move to Gameforge in the EU when they launch Classic in a few weeks, and suffer a longer ping.

It's that a fact or are you just guessing? If it's true, that would explain why nothing has been done about it in NA.

For the rest of the world, maintenance is at 11am UTC not 12pm as the announcement says. The poster has not allowed for their local daylight savings.

The manastone failure probability is set too high. As Locke pointed out, the probability of rolling 6 successes in a row, is very low. I find I use 50-100 stones to socket a piece of AP gear. Given the price/availability of manastones, that's absurd. I am waiting for NCsoft to propose a solution to this glaringly obvious game flaw.

Gee that sux, I say that because I was one of the 90day aura people that missed out on compensation.

I have not received any compensation, even though I had a 90day Siel's Aura active which still has over 10days to go, and I also cashed in a Crown in core to test the AP reward when people started complaining just after the 2.5 launch.

Should ask when are they closing the forums for posting, seems to be mostly trolling here nowadays. They can keep the announcements section going as read only.

Drop rate doesn't seem to have improved since maintenance. AP relic exchange has, it's back to normal.

The Relic AP acquisition from the Core and Teminon NPCs seem to be back to normal they way it was before 2.5 came out. Thanks.

Do Dredge and Tiak they often drop. In fact lots of mobs drop them.

Works well, thanks.

Those players made a bad decision, the could have also gone to a relic AP NPC that paid out even less than the one in Core. Their choice.

Funny thing is, there seems to be more bots than every regardless of the drop rate. Some people have a lot of money to waste on siel's aura for bots.

Good to read they are sorting out the AP relic issue next week.

Yeah, just abandon 2 years of game play effort and go back to level 1.

Many of the stigmas that are needed to be sold by the Stigma Tuner, are the ones were people level up too quickly for them to drop. eg. Your example Splendor of Purification, it's a L44 stigma which means it has to be farmed from L44 mobs. So it's won't drop for an L55 bot group. I am not even sure where the L44 mobs are, probably Heiron somewhere.

You are a bit late, they fixed it last maintenance and now it gives a plat medal. The quest was "Investigate the Tiak Research Center Again"

In other version of Aion, Splendor of Purification is available at the Stigma Tuner, for some reason in Classic it is not.

When the masses flee to the EU like some insist will happen, then there will be less demand for manastones and stigmas, so prices should fall. The problem with things like Splendor of Purification is it's L44 from memory, so you have to farm very specific areas. Most bots are in Inggison in much higher levels.

Yeah right I would like to know your secret source for that random factoid.

Yes, it's absurd, quest mobs should be set to only drop the quest rewards nothing else, so the bots have no reason to target them.

I doubt it. The EU players on Siel are most likely a minority due to timezone.
