The Short and Skinny of Enchanting
Enchanting. It’s a pain in the gluteal region. I found this out firsthand when I began enchanting my Fenris Staff. I found myself doing a lot of researching … the best stones to use, whether or not to use supplements, etc. In my studies, I ran across a great list of tips by Sei of Royal Flush on Israphel regarding enchanting:
I am not going to dig up or copy and paste the entire...

Ok, so we're not doomed ...
My apologies for my last post. I know better than to post anything when I’m having a bad day, as it always always ALWAYS creeps into the tone of my post. Shame on me. ^_^
While my initial worry was that Aion going free-to-play would drive friends away, I’ve come to the realization that there are many who will be coming back because of it. Definitely good news for my current server,...

Aion to go Free to Play in NA
After dancing around the issue by NCsoft staff, today’s announcement confirmed what many of us in the community had feared — Aion is going free-to-play in North America. While this is great for many who would like to play more and do not have the means to do so, some fear this will cheapen the experience with a “pay to win” cash shop. Myself included there.
I’ll be...

Do you Facebook?
I’ve run across several daevas on Facebook and even hang out in several Aion-related groups. Tons of legions have Facebook pages and/or groups, and I’m finding more and more info is shared as much there as on the Aion forums. I started looking around and there seems to be something for each of the NA servers (except Siel?), so I thought I’d list them here for reference.

Happy Valentine's Day, Daevas!
Happy Valentine’s Day, Daevas! I hope all of you are surrounded by those you love, getting fabulous loot in-game, and are having a great week! ^_^
I have a quick update on the 64-bit client issue. As announced last week, NCsoft had quietly implemented a patch removing the capability to use the unsupported patch that many of us had been using. However, Nobody was quick in posting a...

64-bit client stops working after today's patch
Per an announcement on the Aion forums this morning by {CC} Nyx, those of us in NA who used the file drop method of enabling the 64-bit Aion client will not be able to run the client. Basically, we’re told that those of us who are experiencing issues after this morning’s patch will have to run a repair in order to successfully launch the game. She explained that this morning’s...

I'm a crafty momma
My daughter first started playing Aion back in the Closed Beta days after watching my husband and I play. Even after my husband dropped Aion to go on to other games, she kept playing. It’s been great because it’s something that she and I shared in common and she knew she could always “talk Aion” to divert my attention or lighten my mood at any time, hehe. She stopped...

Simply Siege Weapons
Although it was unintentional, I realized recently that having toons working on each available craft would come in handy. It seems my server has a shortage of Siege Weapons available, and I thought to myself, “Hey, that’s something I could do! Make weapons for our raids!!” Granted, it will take me a while, as I still have two more crafts that I’ve only just started and are...
