You’re Gearing Up in the WRONG Order! | AION 2 transcript

So, what you do, once you reach a level 45, first things you do is the expedition. I am assuming that uh while you were leveling, you did not loot the dungeons because the expedition dungeons that you are doing uh in the beginning as quests, they do not give you something useful. So, you should avoid them. Avoid looting them. They're giving you blue gear, okay? So, when you reach level 45, the first things you have to do is go to exploration Drop Near, okay?

And as you can see here, from this dungeon and onward, the items that are dropping are unique, okay? So, you will start having very good upgrades from Drop Near and onwards. We are still on exploration, okay? So, what do you do first? You go and you loot three times this dungeon. I have looted them now, and you cannot see it. So, it's like this. Here on Ferocious Den, you can loot it three times. So, what happens? You loot three times this one, and you have a guaranteed reward.

Okay, if you were lucky and you got some drops during Drop Drop Near dungeon, that means that you got any of those items, you are lucky, congratulations. What you do is you keep them, and you do not open the selected guaranteed reward. You wait, and you go to Vakron Sky Island. Now, >> [clears throat] >> in the beginning to go at least to 1,600, it's easy. And also, we will not have this kind of uh item level requirement.

The item level requirements on global are different. So, it's going to be easier to do this. Then you're going to go to Vakron Sky Island and do the same. Three times loot. Three times When I say three times, is the dungeon to be looted three times. If you are subscribed, you are looting twice every time. So, that means you go one, you loot twice, and then you go one more, and you loot only once. Okay, we do not want to waste any energy, any energy at all.

Um so, this is exactly what you are looking for. These items are exactly the same as the conquest. Now, it's a bit difficult to see here Um the comparison because this is Korean Taiwan, but look, one item that you take from the drop near, which is 68 item level. Okay, here I'm wearing the same. Uh in conquest is the same in exploration. You see, 68. It's still 68. >> [clears throat] >> Okay, so whatever you get from drop near and what whatever uh you select from the granted reward, you have already two items, maybe more if you were a bit lucky.

So, this is the first thing you do. Now, what we do with these items is we do not enhance them. There's no reason to enhance them in the beginning. You can take them up to plus five, but only that. You do not need to overspend your materials. It is not worth it because it's something that you might change from time to time. So, you have reached the level 45 and then after you do these explorations only three lootable times, you will go to conquest.

Uh in conquest, the first weapon you going to take is from Crow Cave. This is 68 item level. It's the same item level with the weapon you get from the main quest story. This is rupture longbow. Okay, this longbow you get it from just completing the story. So, it's this one. It drops the same. So, you're not going to go for weapon um from Crow Cave. Yes, Crow Cave drops earrings and necklaces and stuff, but these uh items are something that you will also need to craft.

So, what do we do? We have our weapon. If you drop a guard, you're lucky, but I would suggest that if you have a weapon, since we have one weapon, the first craft that you have to do actually is the guard. So, you go to guard, crafting blacksmithing and guard. I think if you have farmed enough, you can get the blue one and hopefully you will get your first artisan splendid orichalcum. So, after you get this one on global, you do not keep crafting, you go to transfer crafting and you craft your first splendid star dragon lord that which is level 76.

Um this does not have the PV damage boost you are watching here. It will have one extra stat and that's why crafting here is more important. So, this is going to be your first craft. After that, you will start uh crafting your necklace because it has the most stats out of all the necklace, earrings and the rings, the jewels, let's say. So, necklace, earrings and rings with this specific order. Once you finish your guard, you're looking for jewels.

Now, what will happen with your weapon? As you're moving through the expeditions and conquest specifically, depending on the item level you're going to reach, at some point you will reach fire temple. Fire temple's weapon is super amazing uh and you can have it you can farm for it is what I want to say. That doesn't mean that it's it's the weapon that you're going to keep forever, but as long as you can farm safely a specific dungeon, you do not need to upgrade.

So, the purpose here is to reach fire temple and start farming fire temple because what we're getting here is we're getting the best weapon we can get from dungeons, okay? And we can also get um earrings and necklaces and rings. So, we can farm items until we craft them. That's the purpose. This is how you use your dungeons. You use your dungeons to reach as high level as possible until you are able to replace every item one by one with crafting.

Ferocious horn then it's going to be another uh one you want to farm. Chromatic is more important, but this one also uh exist in order to take higher level armors because you won't be able to craft the materials to craft everything is overwhelming. So, you have to start with the important ones and the most important ones are weapon, guard, necklace, earrings, and rings. Bracelets later, super important but later. And then you have your armors.

The most important pieces of armor that give you the most stats are the chest and the pants. Then there's the helmet uh and the shoulders and then is everything else. Now, I have something super important to show you. So, these are the upgrades that every item can take. Okay? So, we have the enhancement, the breakthrough, soul imprint stats and values, uh the field attempt bonus chance on enhancement potential, soul binding extra effect, mana stone, spirit stone depends on the item, and theo stone which only weapon and guard.

So, we want to use our materials until it's time for a weapon to be transferred inside your crafted weapon. So, this right here shows what inheritance transfers. If your inheritance gets the enhancement, the breakthrough, the soul imprinted stats and values, and the field attempt bonus chance percentage. This is the only thing that comes through. So, if you upgrade your weapon up to potential, uh the soul binding extra effect, these are very expensive to do and also they do not pass to your next weapon.

So, in the beginning you don't want to do those two things uh for a weapon that you are going to change. Then we have mana stones and spirit stones, okay? Do not use your best mana stones and spirit stones until you get the weapon you really want. And the one that will help you progress later in the game because at some point you cannot keep progressing forever. There's a limit. When you reach that limit, then is where you're going to use your best materials for the current equipment that you have.

And [snorts] the Theo stone, of course, it's not going to be transferable as well. So, if you're planning to use a Theo stone that is very important, do not use it unless you have two of them. Okay. Okay, let's show how this actually works. We have a weapon here. It's plus 20. It's plus 15 and all these five stars right here show that we did extra. This is the breakthrough, okay? So, we have the enhancement is plus 15.

Then you have the breakthrough five more levels. Then we have the soul imprint stats right here. And then we have the potential. So, what happens when we want to transfer? This is why I tell you do not give everything to the weapon you're not going to work with for a long time. So, let's say that this is the new weapon that we want to transfer our previous weapon to. So, let's say that Afflicted Bakarma Mace is better than Soaring Diva Mace.

So, we have it right here. You can see the enchanting will go through. The breakthrough will go through, of course. Um the percentage there's no percentage because it's full it doesn't matter. So, these are the three things that will go through. The enhancement, the breakthrough, and the soul imprint stats and values. But this one, which is the soul binding extra effect that we upgraded our weapon for is not going to go through.

The mana stones that this weapon has are not going to go through. The Theo stone is not going to go through. Okay? And what else? And the potential. So, the potential is this one. The PV damage boost. These things will not go through and this will be hard to find in the beginning. So, do not do it unless you have the weapon of your choice for a long time. So, if you get a weapon for Chromede, don't like this is the Chromede weapon, just make it a plus 10, give it some stuff and some fuel stones.

Don't exaggerate with it because you are going to replace it and how? By transferring this to the new weapon that you're going to get. Of course, the same goes with any any item that you have and it's not crafted because the end game goal to have everything that you are wearing crafted, let's say. Because if you see what's happening, when you have it crafted, you're going to go through transfer crafting and transfer to the next and the next and next.

And as they said, the transfer crafting is going to keep the stats that you're having. That being said, we have to get an item that is better that and then an enraged Chromedes Warhammer, for example, that's 84 level. And this would be with crafting. Let's see mace, for example, that I'm using with my cleric. Um you're going to need to do some transfer crafting up to Ebony Dragon or mace. So, if as they said the stats are going to be transferred with through transfer crafting to the next weapon, we're not going to have any problem because we're going to have a stronger weapon than Chromedes.

And we're going to keep crafting to the next and to the next. If things stay as we saw on global testing. Now, I won't put my hand on the fire, but this is the way I will be doing everything. You can watch me while I'm doing it on stream because I will be streaming a lot of hours when the game releases on global. So, you will see exactly what I'm doing and this is the whole philosophy that I'm going to I'm going to follow.
