I am still liking the game, but the questing alone is somewhat problematic for me. Ie.... I die and feel the need to repair, which is costing me alot of gold to retain the xp, which is why I was questing in the first place. I assume I am not the only one running into this issue. So please feel free to ping me to help you with quests, since I rather be helping others, than repairing alone.
If you see me on I am more than willing to group.
I actually need groups for the Abyss quest lines since the Eloy Ganking parties get old and time consuming.
I had the exact same problem on my assassin, I really like Aion's gameplay, graphics, and combat. Having said that, the grinding and dying constantly grated on my nerves, and I havent put much more time into it. I knew it was going to be a grindfest before I bought it, but damn lol, I just dont have that kind of time.
Rocks, are you keeping Rocksy's gear up to level? I've noticed that if I keep updating my gear, it really cuts down on my deaths. But it's true, that solo questing can get hard sometimes.
Sorry I haven't been around for a few days, work has kept me busier than I would like. I should be back on tonight, and I'm always game for group questing. I don't find it too much of a grindfest, but I am really in no hurry to level, so I guess that's why I don't mind it going slowly. I am excited to be 25 though and hopefully tonight I'll finish the Abyss questline (I'm on the last step I think?) and get to see the Abyss!
Ditto for me. I'm pretty "little" yet (15) but I'd be happy to come heal anytime in the evenings when I'm on. (I'm sometimes on during downtime at work, too, but am mainly focusing on crafting then, since I could be called away at any time.)
I hear alot of people complain about deaths...
To be honest, ive never really experienced it.
With the Templar I have died a hand full of times, but never just grinding on mobs and questing. If i get more than I can handle on me I just run away.
The only deaths I have really expierenced have been in groups or accidently attacking elits.
My Sorc, Chanter, Assasin are only lvl 10-13 and really havnt had death issue with them either.
The only advise I can offer is to make sure you upgrade your gear at least every 5 level intil 23-28 after that you may be able to slack off on your armor as long as you keep your weapons updated.
Dont attack multiple mobs unless you know you can handle it... if you get 2 or more on you run away.
I grind on mob -1 to +1 of my level, certain mobs are easier for me to kill depening on the toon im playing if i have to grind I do it on those mobs.
At lvl 27 I came across the first set of mobs I have had an issue with... not death but they do take thier toll and i experience a good amount of downtime. i just skipped those quest got a level and tried again... little bit better but im going to wait one more level.
As a melee upgrading my weapon make a huge differance... make sure its at least green and enchant it at least once. Dont forget to use mana stones in all your slots. +dmg or crit seem to be the best for leveling.
With the squishy clothie you die ALOT!!!!
I just hit 20 yesterday......anyone that wants to quest with me or help me catch up to them.....I would be much appreciative.......the other night running the BC quests was a real treat since other than Azmo helping out with a couple quest ....and some AWESOME gear, I have been going it alone. I feel your pain Rocks.
So....open invite....hang with the lowbie!!!!
The grind is really starting to bore me to tears. I'm not enjoying this recent feeling :-(
Good point Swae,, I used my gold to upgrade my gear and has helped alot in my opinion. Tho I still need to be careful, but an improvement forsure.
Just remember after lvl 25 instances open up and there are always elite areas to group in...
If your quest log is empty and you dont want to grind solo hit us up... I have been working on getting the guild into NTC for a few weeks now.
I have managed a few runs in LC the last one we actually dropped the big mini boss and saw some mad loots.
Blue Chanter Staff, Blue Sorc Neck, a bunch of greens.
Good times.
I would love to get into LC or NTC tonight or this weekend!
If all goes as planned i should be around most of this weekend.
Bojan, your sig is very scary looking.
Why thank you :nuh:Quote:

Oh no! So sorry to hear you had the flu - I know how miserable that is!
I don't think anyone has really passed you up in level except maybe Fyrna and Yunstar. I know there's a group in the upper 20s and a group of up-and-comers (Mydrial, Beast, Fax, etc.) that are in the lower 20's. I bet in a few weeks it will level out and we'll all be about the same level anyway. :)
Lots of folks still +/- 2 levels of ya so no worries there.
Just a heads up the lvl cap on NTC (the first instance) is lvl 28
I made the mistake of thinking it was 29 and missed out on the handfull of group quest in there.
Debating on leveling up my Sorc for a while until folks get up a bit more so we can do the instances and group quest as a guild.
If anyone still has a toon hanging around that needs the Black Claw quests please let me know. I'm sorta stuck and haven't had any luck finding a group.
I have an alt that is not far from BC and i know Giveup does too. I have a tank and he has a healer. Im sure we can get sumtin together. Keep in mind that if anyone is 10lvls or higer than the mob, no gold and no nonquest drops.
Thanks Azmo!
I had some decent luck this evening but still have a couple of quests left. If I can't find a group that can get them done tomorrow I'll definitely be looking you up. At this point I just want them out of my quest log so that I can move on.
