After they removed the Apsaranta quest that gave an a-rank minion once a week, how does anyone get them anymore? I know there is a minuscule chance to get them at minium vault but that is not a solution, I haven't gotten any for months from there. The prestige machine also gives one but that is real money minion not ingame acquired. How does one get B-minium and C-minium to at least try to upgrade them from c-rank to b-rank to a-rank and eventually s-rank? I am actually good, I have 16x S-rank minions all fully upgraded and a few of them awakened and SS combined. I also have like 24 a-minions fully upgraded. It is not like I need those but I also have a ton of a-minium that require a new inventory slot now, I have nothing to use them into and I realized I haven't gotten any new a-rank minions since 8.4 came. ~~ How would a new player even be able to get a minion or even participate in minion combination events? ~~ I am sorry but it seems NCSoft is trying to make the game as unplayable so everyone quits and they don't have to worry about it and focus on their new games. You cannot get Abyss points anymore except for once per week in Herelym Mine You cannot get runestones, gemstones and other niche items unless there is an event or BCM sales You can barely make most items for collections You cannot get manastones anymore except for 2~3 per week that will probably RNG useless ones Going into AoA, I heard people can duo that instance but it requires a full group to open the final chest , who made that design and why? When I did some autohunting in Inggison (as an Asmodian) the only drops were cubicles and lockboxes. ...do they keep removing things at every patch?

If you were in the very left part (the one you transform into an assassin) once you kill enough mobs at the last room you get an item that you need to activate near the door for it to open, I think you need to have 5 of these items (if you kill all the mobs in the room they will drop all you need), I forget the item names to give you more information. Not all rooms have the same walk through.

All those niche ancient transformations meant for collections should at least be on BCM forever, if they are going to cost a lung to buy why make them limited time only. Just add them in and let people buy them whenever they decide to. No matter the time you get them their purpose is only one -> collections.

We are not overdue, we always get it late February and August (2nd and 8th month of the year, 6 months apart each) August 16th 2022 February 23rd 2022

Garden of Knowledge is an awesome event for XP, and I agree the coins NPC should be updated at some point. The event coin system is a good thought, but it needs to be kept updated to our needs.

Can't fix the launcher is strange given the fact there are already other regions with Classic for years, so if there were any issue those guinea pig areas already must have addressed them for EU not to have to. Aion seems like the USA moon landing, they did it with a potato capsule that somehow worked and then they never went back because they "forgot how to do it" (literally their words). I am from Europe and left Aion EU when they gave it to GF, since Aion classic is under the same publishing rights of GF (same game to retail, just different patch) I would never even set foot there. I already didn't care about NA Classic, tried it, hated it and I am good with the retail however awful it might be.

What makes you think EU classic won't be ruined in pretty much the exact same way every version was ruined by every publisher, /joking. I am really curious to see if they learned anything from the classic NA p2w mistake. Having tenths of thousands of pre-subs and then losing 90% of them within the first 2 weeks of launch has a pretty nice lesson to be learnt. I feel that the classic nostalgia wave is already watered down by NA's version.

Yes you are right, he mentioned events but also mentioned dropping money, so I assumed he meant drop rate BCM things. Anyways, drop rates are what they are.

He wants to know if it worth getting a double drop rate amulet or not. If an item has a 0,0001% chance to drop, spending real money to double that seems wasteful.

Yes, aion has persistence of outcome coded into everything. I remember I had a necklace with a green socket and I wanted it to get red, I do not remember the amount of times I had to re-socket it, like the first 4~5 times it kept giving me green socket again, then next was a red thankfully but it still got a ton of re-socket stones

Also "WTS My account" could mean "Want to Shut my account"... aka not against the ToS. "WTS" is an acronym it can mean anything like "want to $h!t" Just joking, the guy obviously did an against the ToS joke, you see he is leading a legion and has no intention of selling his account. He should be more careful but now he knows.

I have no knowledge of the people involved nor have I anything new to add since I do not know any of these names, as I understand he joked about "wts his char" when the Asmodians lost on some battle, then someone made a report on him and had him banned. A lot of people came here to write about it so it is crystal clear that he wrote it as a joke, it is a misunderstanding but now you know the way he wrote it wasn't meant to be taken seriously. Lesson learnt for all of us to never make such jokes, he doesn't have to lose his account over this.

If the reroll key was 20$~30$ I would get it, but 250$ to reroll and get the same outcome is a big no. I have a friend who used 3x tokens when it was still possible... he got a double when he first open it and 3 more token still the double, imagine if he paid 750$ in total just to get rick rolled on that result over and over. One key is 250$... you can pay that money and buy the p2w daeva pass for like 8 months which will give you more than 1 box worth of fragments + breaths AND all the goodies the p2w daeva pass give for more than half a year! For now I will keep my breaths and fragments even though I have 3x Zikel until we get the new patch at 8.5 where they add 2 more ultimates, I'd rather get any new one that gamble again and get another Zikel. ~~ They need to either allow tokens to be used for it again and permanently or at least bring a key that costs a reasonable amount of money.

Best solution: Bring back the good Apsaranta quests that gave AP. Or add AP in the Apsaranta quests.

Can an elyos confirm to me that their side is as obnoxious as ours? So in camp 9 we have two types of mobs that are sadistically designed, the Daphne Squads that do stuns and aether hold and that stupid camp loves to RNG in favor of getting that quest quite often. Then it is the Tyrmhound (or whatever they are called), they do aetherhold for 1 second at EVERY HIT and it is not possible to resist it with any buffs, even remove shock or the shield that increases resistances to stun/aether etc is having 0 effect on them. ~Does camp 6 have similar things for Elyos? Do elyos ever have to eat those obnoxious mobs in camp 9? Camp 13 has a type of mobs that are also awful and it seems I get this bs quest like every day. It is the mobs that transform you into a mongrel and the flying mobs that do a stun every 2 seconds that lasts 3 seconds each. Who the hell designs these mobs and how can I let him know he failed as a human? ~Does camp 10 have any mobs like this? Do Elyos ever have to kill those obnoxious mobs in Camp 13 as a quest? Camps 11 and 12 also have those perma stun mobs, as an Asmodian I only face them in camp 12, in camp 11 there used to be a quest that is thankfully removed some patches ago. Doing these camps as a soloer is like hell. I am absolutely curious for the elyos side and what quests have obnoxious mobs.

We usually get the promotion on February as far as I remember. It should be close. I'd love to see more ultis into this, like Nezekan/Zikel. A person I know has 5x Nezekan and 0 Zikel, he bought the p2w daeva pass to get more breaths and fragments and he keeps getting Nezekan. Meanwhile I still have 3 Zikel and 0 Nezekan!

You can play free for 2 hours per day, there is a buff that you get the moment you login, once this buff ends (2 hours after you first login every day) you can no longer collect kinah or green items and above. You also cannot do gathering (essencetapping or aethertapping). To unlock the full features you need to pay the subscription which is 10$ per month. Then you can play fully 24/7 with no restrictions until your monthly subscription ends.

The pig is floor 8 (floor 7 is the Bolvig Vampire).

In classic you need to buy a subscription to be able to play normally. Every day you get some time fully free to play and then after this timer ends you are restricted in many ways.

Yes that is true. I am not sure how profitable that would be so we defo need a way to prevent bots from doing it easily and then the kinah recipe needs to go. It was the reason this whole thing happened, half a year katalam server was bugging and we lost sieges, instances, dailies and interserver activities that Danaria enjoyed at our absense, etc. Then they made changes that made it worse for actual players to earn luna and then they removed the luna by removing lugbug. All of that for those kinah box recipes, the kinah box recipe is not good for the game, it needs to be removed.

Yes they could simply make a quest for this. I personally dislike the 50 kill quest because Gelkmaros and Inggison were full of bots and it took away the easiness on doing it on our main accounts because there were no mobs left to kill. As long a there is a kinah recipe in luna whatever implementation they do, bots will find a way to screw this up for all of us. Imagine if they put the pouch back in luna instance but remove the kinah recipe... the people would afk their main accounts for luna but I do not see people with 500 accounts wasting time to farm luna on their alts since it would have no profit.

Well the starting area near the spot you get when you teleport to Demaha for example surely drops basic materials for aetherforging.

Gelkmaros and Inggison are empty of drops except for cubicles. You need to put your char to grind in Demaha or Katalam. Those have actual material drops.

...I am not reading all of that. But in the end of the day this is an outdated thing and you do not even need to participate in it. There are better ways to spend your money ingame than getting a key to open a box with random things.

It would be nearly impossible to do it in every character on our main account which is necessary to be able to make enough luna for our needs. ~~~ I insist the solution needs to be simple and simply remove the kinah box from the luna recipes. No main account will ever waste luna materials to make the kinah box, the only ones willing to do it are alt accounts or bot accounts which cause problems in the game economy.
