So I’m still casually levelin’ along in Aion on my Spirtmaster. I hit level 23 tonight and I’m starting to realize just how much freaking EXP is needed to level up in this game! Yeesh, you feel like you spend forever in a particular area leveling because it just takes that long to get the EXP necessary to level. I’ve also started to notice that a lot of times there aren’t enough quests to necessarily level you up and you end up having to grind to get the rest of your level. Not bad at the moment, but I’m sure in 10-15 levels spam killing reptiles will start to blow realllll fast. I’ve been leveling around Elthen Fortress (the 20-29 zone I think).

The level of customization in this game is awesome, if not totally hilarious. I keep running into people with really scary avatars such as this random guy to the left. The hilarious part was he was max height which was about double what my character’s height was.

Beside peoples’ hilarious characters, I really like how pretty the armor detail is in this game. Every level I get to go “shopping” and figure out what the coolest looking gear is. :3 Call me girly, but there’s something awesomely aesthetically pleasing about being able to shop for armor that looks awesome. If level 20 armor looks as awesome as this I can’t wait to see what high level gear looks like.

Pretty nice looking lv22 gear

And the wing detail isn't too bad either. :3

My newest level 23 gear looks pretty nice, too. My fire spirit also looks slightly more spiffy as I have LV2 Fire Spirit. :D

There’s still one thing that confuses me greatly in Aion– I can’t figure out wtf my character is saying when she (or anyone else for that matter) casts spells! Can anyone tell me what you say when you’re summoning or casting spells? (>_<;)
