We've posted a new article offering thirteen tips and hints for new Aion players, but I'd like to think it's just a starting point. Beta event veterans can help newbies get their wings by sharing any helpful Aion hints you might have below!

"buy "extraction tools" from a General Goods vendor for 1k"

So is that 1000 as 1k, or 1 Kinah, ingame currency?

God, how can they be that stupid, naming their currency starting with 'k'?

Players are gonna be confused as hell

I can already see the trade channel:
"WTS Super Magic Potion for 10k!"
"10k? Deal!"
-trade window-
"ehm, that's just 10 kinah, I meant 10,000"
"oh..."

Afaik korean version of that money was called Qina, they should have gone with that... there's still time till release, they should seriously reconsider this whole 'k' thingie.

Should be added that in your first 10 levels all items players sell in there stores tend to be quest rewards (or pve loot) so if i were you avoid the player stores and don't waste money on goods you will eventually get.

Great tips thanks. Just wanted to point out that the default resting keybinding is , (comma) not x which is just to sheathe your weapon.

Rebind all your keys to something youre familiar with. Otherwise youre going to be stumbling around the keyboard alot.

Actually,three of those tips helped immensely. The pathfinding one in particular....

And Kitsunekid,I have a feeling you stumble around almost everything. Kinda like your posts here in TTH....

Just wanted to point out that the statement of the game having problems with windows 7 should not even be in there. I run the game flawlessly on the RC 7100 build. At start I downloaded an updated gameguard.des file from another player within a forum and that fixed a gg error and all was well. I am seeing reports in various other areas that they have since uploaded the updated version of the file in their patcher. Can anyone confim this? Either way with a quick fix the game is completely operational. To eliminate any worry and to further promote the candly within both W7 and Aion both =P Gotta love em.

Thanks for the comment. I'm as anxious to see the game work in W7 as anyone. But messing with Game Guard files, however legitimately, isn't something we can support at this point. I'll wait patiently for the file to be fixed in an official release and I encourage everyone to do the same, lest you fail a game guard audit and flag your account or something horrible like that.

And thanks to Validus for the rest - comma keybind, I realized that as soon as I logged in. Fixed!

Just another /pathfinding tip:

As an alternative to /pathfinding [NPC Name] you can click any blue name in your quest description to bring up a window giving a more in-depth description of what you're looking for. On that little dialog box you'll find a button that says LOCATE. This activates the pathfinding feature for the highlighted NPC. It's quite handy for finding quest NPCs, mobs, and even certain map locations.
