Small start: tracking crafting progress online

I’ve had a couple requests from people asking me to post what recipes I have on which crafts, so during my lunch hour today, I started on just that. A few days ago I had taken screenshots of each of my toons’ crafting lists and was able to match up the recipes that I currently have with a quick search on Aion Armory. From that I was able to get a semi-complete listing of what I have (and comment out what I’m missing) and link to the corresponding entry in the Aion Armory online database.

So far I’ve only completed Cooking and Alchemy. I’m hoping to have Tailoring and Handicrafting done in a few days, as those are a bit more involved. Plus, I may level up an alt this or next weekend and begin a new craft to take advantage of the on-going Double XP events. ^_^

New event and goodies this weekend!

So I was reading over this morning’s announcement posted on the Aion site and noticed 2 things right off the bat: a new event and double xp and drops coming up! Woot!

• January 11 - February 1: Atreian Winter Festival
• January 11 - January 18: ‘For War and Glory’ Reduced AP Loss Event!
• January 13 - January 16: Double XP & Double Drops Weekend (10:00 a.m. - 9:59 a.m. Server Time)

I haven’t found anything yet detailing the new festival, so I’ll be looking for that. The Reduced AP Loss is always nice, especially for rifting and sieges! :D

But what I’m really looking forward to is the Double XP and Double Drops this upcoming weekend! My spiritmaster is now 35 and I want to get him to 37 sometime this weekend so I can start running Kromede’s Trial. And who doesn’t love double drops??!! ^_^

EDIT: Good news! There’s been an update on the Aion site with more info!

The Atreian Winter Festival features Double XP Weekends for hunting, gathering and crafting with the added bonus of Double Drops! (and we all love drops!!!!)

Double XP and Double Drop Weekends:

• January 13 – January 16: 10:00 a.m. – 9:59 a.m. (Server Time)
• January 20 – January 23: 10:00 a.m. – 9:59 a.m. (Server Time)
• January 27 – January 30: 10:00 a.m. – 9:59 a.m. (Server Time)

Also also ALSO!!!! The Daru Fur Set is on sale in the NCsoft Store!!!! :D It will be available through maintenance, February 1st, so get it now!

According to a tweet by Phenteo, these are one-time use and ARE DYEABLE! :D

I fully plan on decking out my very manly SM with a purple Daru Fur Set tonight! XD

So many goodies coming this week! :)

There was a new announcement posted on the Aion site late Friday detailing the upcoming events this week to celebrate the 2nd anniversary of Aion’s release. Wow, I can’t believe it’s been 2 years already! It was just a year ago that I started this blog — funny enough on the day of the 1 year anniversary of the game’s release! ^_^

The Aion site has been updated to reflect the on-going events: Reactivation Celebration, Ascension Festival (think Summer Heat event), Picking Up the Past (which is currently going on), and of course the Aion 2nd Anniversary event. According to the announcement, there will be double drops, double XP, daily contests on the forums for dyes and costumes, and surveys for each day:

• September 22nd, 2011: Inquin Pet
• September 23rd, 2011: Ascension Energy x50
• September 24th, 2011: 15 Day Recovery Serum x1
• September 25th, 2011: Enchantment Stone Box x1
• September 26th, 2011: Major Ancient Crown x3
• September 27th, 2011: MYSTERY GIFT
• September 28th, 2011: Felictous Socketing Supplements x2 (Eternal or Fabled)
• September 29th, 2011: Manastone Bundle x3
• September 30th, 2011: [Emotion Card] Hug Me
• October 1st, 2011: 30 Day Title [4% Attack Speed, 4% Cast Speed, 4% Runspeed]
• October 2nd, 2011 (post reactivation): 3 Major Ancient Crowns, Enchantment Stone Box and your choice of:  5 Platinum Medals, 10 Gold Medals, or 10 Silver Medals

And don’t forget that the 24 month Veteran Rewards are coming up for those of us playing since release which have lots of goodies — more medals, crowns, eternal guaranteed socketing, wings!! NOM NOM NOM! The socketing supplements I’m especially excited about as I’ve acquired my first piece of eternal gear this weekend (Stormwing’s Tunic) and will need the supps to get it socketed properly! :D

Happy Happy Happy!!! ^_^
