Mr. D, Divine Credence Legion, Elyos on Nezekan Server: “Camping” of NPCs may be the result of shared quest-givers. Rifts in Morheim and Eltnen are quite biased in favor of the Asmodians.

Darakor: (FLOAHOA) Ranger Tip (GREAT EXAMPLE – short, informative, funny)
Luke / Solares: I’ve been wondering what that weird music / sound is before the email section. What on earth does it say at the end? Has confused me for weeks!
Michel K / Thrace translated, from a Dutch Soccer player, on of the Deboer brothers: “E-mail, E-mail, hey, you’ve got new e-mail. E-mail, E-mail, E, E, E, E, E-mail, you’ve have to read it.”
Ryan / Knowledge: Assassin Tip – Backstabbing for fun and profit!

David / Ptomely: Templar Tips - PvE: Socket 75% block gems, and 25% HP gems ( Block>HP>Parry>Evasion). damage. PvP: On your one-hander, place block. In every other slot, place either full attack or full crit, but not both.
BASIC TRAINING
Phill D./ Xith: Use the ‘X’ button to come out of combat.
Bulzibob: Found a great tip over at aionsource from the user Vheissu. You can use the capatilized letters like L A F for Lesser Accessory Flux and if you get to many hits you can refine the search like L Ac F (Ac for Accessory) and so on.

I listen to many Aion podcasts (Aion’s wrath, Aion fancast, Aion’s world, Aionpodcast) and yours is far and away the best, Keep up the good work! I am playing Aion after playing DDO and COX for several years so I have some experience with MMOs. But, I’m still learning a lot about the rules and UI, so I have a question for basic training about manastone slotting. I hear people talking about slotting certain stones in certain pieces of gear, like accuracy or physical crit in your weapon, or Shield defense in your shield, etc…So, my question is this: Is it of any greater benefit to slot these gear specific stones into the actual gear its built for, or is it just as good to slot your physical crit stones in, lets say your boots? It appears the numbers stack no matter where you slot them, so I was thinking of slotting physical crit on every piece of gear to give myself the best chance of landing a critical strike on my enemies…would this work? or is this a bad idea?
Thanks, can’t wait to hear your answer!
That Mark and Steve guys were a hoot. And that Mark fellow sounds like a real hottie!
Great topic, I hope you have them on again because by far they were a great part of your show.
Take care guys
