New level, new goals

A week ago tomorrow, I dinged 51. Last night, I dinged 55. I happily skipped to Panda to grab my skills, update my stigmas, put on my new wings and PVP set, and started my 55 advanced stigma quest.

What’s next?

I think I’m keeping my Tahabata staff for now. I have the Crucible PVP Level 2 staff, but need to combine it to something … just not sure what yet. I’ve also started grinding out plat medal dailies and will likely continue to work on those so that I can upgrade to the 55 eternal PVP accessories. NOM NOM!

And since my PVP set is full MR, I’ve started thinking about getting a PVE set. (not sure yet if I’ll go full parry, or a crit/parry mix). I’m thinking I need to level up my Armorsmithing on my sorc to make these:

Shiny! ^_^

I have maxed out Harley’s crafting, and still have her aethertapping and essencetapping to work on. I’m also still doing crucible every day to save up for the 60 PVP set, and want to start on the 60 Daevanion set once I hit that as well. And then there’s the Beshmundir eternal set, which is pretty sweet as well. And Padmarashka. And then there’s the stuff in Sarpan. GAH! There’s just SO many things I want to do! :D

Things said when rifting

This actually happened a few weeks ago, but was re-telling this story for a co-worker and thought I’d share here. Killing bots is my all-time favorite thing to do when rifting. >:)

Me: “Hey look, there’s <name> again.”
Doodles: “Yeah, he’s probably a bot.”
Me: “Sweet.”

*I run in to kill <name> again*

Drackon: “Harley! You won’t get any AP from them.”
Me: “I don’t care, bots must die.”
Doodles: “Come on, there’s a group heading this way. Harley … ”
Me: “Don’t care. BOTS MUST DIE!!!!”

The rumors are true

I will be leveling soon. Inggison, look out! Here comes Harleykinz! >:)

Mithril Medals, yum!

Those of you with higher level toons I’m sure are already working on acquiring your Mithril Medals. I ran across this list and wanted to share as I’m sure it will come in handy to quite a few of you! Courtesy of DragonShadows of Israphel, these are these daily and repeatable Mithril Medal quests. ^_^

I see more shopping in my future!

Nyx posted the following notice to the Aion site last Friday:

Greetings Daevas!

Get ready to gear up this Wednesday, May 9, with a massive update to the Black Cloud Marketplace!

We’re adding over 100 new items including mounts, pets, housing items, felicitous socketing supplements, and much much more!

We’re also bundling popular items together to bring our players more value: look for emote packs (old and new!), as well as a 15-day Administrator’s Boon Passes and 15-day AP Boost Packs, more than doubling the duration of the current versions! (Please note that the 7-day versions of these items will no longer be available following the update. Now would be a great time to stock up on the 7-day Administrator’s Boons and AP Boost Pack, as the price will be lower than the 15-day versions!)

Check out the Black Cloud Marketplace update Wednesday, May 9!

My inner fangirl is all a-squee with this news. When the Black Cloud Marketplace first opened upon 3.0’s arrival I stocked up on various goodies for my toons and this tells me that even more goodies are coming!

Time to fess up, Daevas. What item(s) would you like to see featured in the new store? ^_^

Have you explored all of 3.0 yet?

It’s been not quite 2 weeks since the 3.0 launch and I myself have barely scratched the surface of all of the available new content in game. There’s just SO MUCH to do! ^_^

I’ll be sharing more and more information as time goes on, but here’s a few gems I’ve bookmarked to help keep up with what’s been changed and what to look forward to in the coming days:

Also helpful is this guide by Sinlarra on Israphel for the Seasonal Agrint dates and times. (once you get your Oriel/Pernon quests, you’ll see why you need this)

These are all of what I have so far, but I know I’m missing a LOT, so please feel free to add your own in the comments below! :D

Return of the 64-bit Aion client

This was posted to Twitter/Facebook, but it appears that the post has since been removed. The 64-bit client was added back in with the 3.0 patch and can be enabled by the following steps:

First, you’ll need to make sure you are running a 64-bit version of Windows. To do this:

  1. Click Start
  2. Right-click Computer (Windows 7) or My Computer (Windows Vista) and select Properties. (Very few XP loads are 64-bit)
  3. Under the System section verify System type is 64-bit

Okie doke, now if your install is 64-bit, you’ll need to take the following steps:

  1. Start the NC Launcher
  2. Right-click Aion and select Properties
  3. In the Extra Command Line Parameter section type:   -64
  4. Hit OK
  5. Start Aion

Enjoy! ^_^

Aion goes Truly Free

In case there has been any confusion on when NCsoft would stop billing for Aion subscriptions and convert to the Free-to-Play module, they sent out the following email earlier today:

Thank you for your support of Aion(R) over the years.

With the release of Aion: Ascension TM, we have evolved from a subscription model to the Truly Free model.

Your account subscription type has been changed from Standard to Truly Free. All current, future, or recurring subscription billing has been stopped.

Any remaining game time on your account will be converted into NCoin TM at a rate of 40 NCoin per remaining day for which you had already paid. NCoin can be used to buy items from the new Black Cloud Marketplace TM online store at http://store.aiononline.com. Purchasing store items is completely optional.

NCoin conversions will be distributed beginning on April 4th, 2012 and the distribution of NCoin can take up to 10 days.

For more information, visit these links:

Cordially,
The Aion Team

As of this post, the servers are still down for maintenance. Really looking forward to being able to play tonight and seeing the new cash shop that’s supposed to be unveiled later today!

And remember, only one more week until 3.0!
