I have 108 slots. Got till 99 with veteran rewards. Last row was a random expansion ticket survey that came in sometime around when 2.0 hit.

Not trying to start something here. These are just my opinions on how to get most value. Two things here: Enchantment Rate You are most probably totally correct here when saying that gear level increases with each +1. I have never really found a concrete answer online. I personally use two guides that each have conflicting ideas: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x8Vn9CubaFjzORxFuPHsj0EIBPCyizgRL2bWGl6Qysc/mobilebasic# https://docs.google.com/document/d/1P5vO2guKo-qbS5vnTgVrR6jtY3ZCdsWArHgZEU3_GQs/edit I cannot tell for a fact which is the right way the logic works. I follow the rule that item level only increases at +10 (mainly because its cheaper, lol) Value for Kinah I personally like to play around ~70% enchant rate for lower level gear. This is only done to save Kinah and get more attempts. Going to throw some current broker rates to explain: Current L60 lowest price is 300K Current L55 lowest price is 60K Thus, 1x L60 ~= 5x L55 in general Assuming the 30e gold PvP. L55 will give me 70% enchant rate till +10. This is actually a pretty good rate and I would feel more comfortable investing in 5 L55 stones instead of the single L60.

Wow. Like to apples to oranges comparison. Movies are non-interactive entertainment (joy comes from watching the movie). Games, on the other hand, are interactive entertainment (joy comes from accomplishments). You cannot add a price tag to an accomplishment and consider it entertainment. Taking your movie example. Imagine you paid for the ticket (Siel's Aura) and walk in the theater all excited. Only to realize that the seats are an additional cost. Using the washroom is an additional cost. Anything basic (assumed part of the entry ticket) is now an additional cost. Would you still be happy?

Not an expert and just trying to explain it in a positive way. Using L60 stones on a level 30 is overkill. Aion might be punishing you with fails for using too high enchant stones :). For Lvl 30 Gold/Fabled gear: - L50 give 60% enchant chance - L55 give 70% enchant chance The intended way to handle this is use stones between L50-L55 and some kinah calculation to ensure you are getting best value for Kinah. There is an enchant calculator online that can help with this process. Aion is an Eastern MMO. What this means is that things are not always explained/spoon-fed. You almost always need to do some research. For eg, I learnt this the hard way when leveling Alchemy. I burned through mats when I should have been doing work orders, leaving the mats for when the work orders run out. This was my mistake as I did not look into things. Bottom line, always research things for Aion. Ask around, check forums. Although there are some frustrating things about Aion, most of them are just people (including me) doing things the wrong way.
