Warrior Class Description

The warrior class is meant to deal damage, but also to handle quite a beating themselves. Focusing mainly around physical damage, the warrior class does not use ranged weapons. Their skills are meant to brutalize their victims with massive crushing blows, demoralizing shouts, and to roam the battlefield in heavily clad armor. Warriors are meant to be the ones in battle to absorb the damage, but also have the potential to do uber destruction. After the ascension quest at level 9, players can choose to take the path of either a Gladiator or Templar. Choosing a particular path opens up a whole new level of game play for the player. However, choosing one path restricts you from taking the other, so research before jumping into the game is very helpful.

Warrior Ascension

At level 9, the ascension quest is available for the warrior class. Upon completion of the ascension quest, players are able to choose from 2 different paths: Gladiator or Templar.

Warrior Gameplay

Question: What is the level cap in Aion?

Answer: The level cap in Aion is currently level 50.

Aion scales gracefully, as players ascend to new levels daily. Levels 1 – 10 are fairly easy and can be accomplished in just a few hours. As the game progresses, zones widen, adding dozens of quests to each area. Because these zones are increasing in size, so is the XP, so you’ll often find yourself running around a lot more compared to some of the starting levels.

As players reach towards level 50, they will find it much more difficult to solo, as the mobs have also increased in health and damage.

How quickly can one reach the level cap? Who knows, but there are power gamers out there that can burn through a game in literally days. These power gamers usually play in the beta before hand, so they know all the sweet spots and quest chains, eliminating the chore of learning new places and figuring out how the play the game.

As players become more experienced, their leveling rate also increases. What I’ve noticed is that once you’ve hit max level in mmos, you generally move on to working on an alt or twink. The second time leveling through is even easier because you are able to give your lowbie character extra gold or any gear you were saving for them.

I wonder how long it will be, before we see multiboxers in Aion.

Hey everyone, I just wanted to make a quick Aion Basics post on where to download the Aion Client. There are many keyloggers out there already, and you definitely wouldn’t want to get scammed out of your new game, so I’ve compiled a list of where to download the Aion client.

NCSoft Account

This is by far the easiest method to download your client.

1. Go to https://secure.ncsoft.com/login
2. Log into your account
3. Click on “Game Accounts”
4. Click on “Aion”
5. Within the ‘Actions’ box, there is an option “Download PC Client”

Steam

Some have ordered Aion via Steam (which I have). This makes it easy for you to download the Aion client anywhere in the world. This only works if you bought the game via Steam.

1. Log into Steam
2. Go to ‘My Games’
3. Right click on ‘Aion’ and select update/download

FilePlanet

FilePlanet is fast and reliable for game downloads, which also happens to host the Aion Client.

1. Go to http://www.fileplanet.com/201991/200000/fileinfo/Aion-Game-Client
2. Click ‘Download this file now’
3. Register/Log In to your FilePlanet account
4. Wait in queue for your download spot.

These are just some of the different ways to download the Aion client. Remember, trust only sources that are legit. If it looks sketchy, avoid it, you don’t want to loose your account.

Congratulations if you’ve reached level 10, now you have wings and you’re ready to rock!

One thing you may have noticed is that your character will glide in Aion if you jump down slopes. This is pretty useful since you wouldn’t want to die from a fall. What you may not have known is that Aion also has a gliding system. According to Aion, there are “thermodynamics” in the game which allows a player to take advantage of gliding, so that they aren’t limited to their flight time.

For this Aion Basics, we’re going to cover how to glide.

How To Glide In Aion

Gliding in Aion is very much like walking, except in…the air. You use the same WASD controls, along with mouse look to move your character and camera. The first thing you’ll want to do is to get some height. Press either ‘Page Up’ or a hotbar button to begin flying, and get some air.

Once you’re in the air, press and hold the ‘Space’ bar for a second or two, and you’ll enter gliding mode. The ‘Space’ bar also ends your gliding.

Gliding uses your flight bar at a much slower rate, if at all. The benefits of gliding is being able to go very far distances without having to stop and go using regular flying.

To go higher while gliding in Aion, you press the R key. This allows you to take advantage of Aion’s thermodynamics, which lifts you higher into the air.

To go lower while gliding, you press the F key.

Using W and S while gliding is a bit like regular movement, except they determine your speed. The W key will speed up your gliding, while the S key slows you down.

You can’t glide forever, and will eventually begin to get lower to the ground, but there’s a little trick. Right before you hit the ground, press the S key, and it will bounce you back into the air a bit.

Because Aion has a thermodynamics system, sometimes gliding isn’t as proficient as a previous attempt. Sometimes you may hit a draft while other times you may hit a great pocket of air.

The main thing is to practice, practice, practice, and soon you’ll be able to cover great distances with no problem.

Hope this helps!

Okay, so you’re fed up with general chat, who wouldn’t be? But you can’t for the life of you figure out how to leave general chat. Well, we got you.

How to Leave Aion General Chat

1. Right click on the All Chat Tab
2. Click “Tab Options”
3. Expand the “Channels” option (make the + a -)
4. Uncheck “Channel 1″ (this is General Chat)
5. Success!

So that’s another Aion Basic. Hope this helps.

Oh yeah…

Okay everyone, this one’s an easy one, but a lot of people are asking how to do it.

You have a group of friends online and you want to play with them, but you can’t see them! Well, that’s because you’re probably in a different channel than them. Aion uses a channel system to divide up the areas. In order to play with them, you have to change your channel to where they are.

How To: Change Channels in Aion

1. Click on the “Menu” button at the bottom of your UI
2. Hover over “Support”
3. Click “Change Channel”
4. Select your channel from the drop down
5. Click Move
6. You’re done!

It’s really easy, but posting this just incase you didn’t know it.

Have Fun!
