Did you know... that you can save time by looting corpses automatically?
From day 1 of MMORPGs (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games) you made money by looting corpses and selling the items you've gotten from the corpse. The way this is done is pretty much the same for every single MMORPG out there, but most of the MMORPGs have a different way of looting the corpse.
The same goes for Aion. In Aion there are 4 different ways of looting a corpse. Let's see what these are.
1. You can loot a corpse by right clicking the corpse. After this a box will pop up with the items you can loot. If you want to loot the items, you can right click on the items 1 by 1. Alternatively you can press the [Attack/Chat] icon

while having the corpse selected to run over to the corpse and open up the loot window. [This is useful for when you run low on inventory space and you want to actually pick the items you want]
2. The second way of looting a corpse would be to right click the corpse. Like you just read, this will pop up a window with the available items you can pick. This time you don't right click the items 1 by 1, but you click on the "Take All" button. As you expect, clicking on the "Take All' button will loot every available item [as long as you have space in your inventory]. This is particularly useful for when you have enough space in your inventory and you want to sell up everything you can to make Kinah [Aion's version of gold]
3. The previous 2 ways of looting a corpse involved manual labor. The third way of looting a corpse is fully automatic. The first way of auto looting a corpse is to keep the SHIFT button pressed down and then to right click the corpse [World of Warcraft players will remember this]. When you do this, your character will walk towards the corpse and loot everything he/she can automatically as long as you have space in your inventory.
4. This is my personal favorite. The 4th way to loot a corpse, which is also automatic, is to press the "Pick Up Item" icon

This is an icon which is automatically placed on your hotbar as soon as you create your character and log in. You can also get access to this icon by pressing "K" and look under the "Actions" tab.
To make use of this icon, you will have to place this on your hotbar. Once you've placed it on your hotbar, all you have to do is press the shortcut while having the corpse selected. Doing this will also automatically loot the corpse.
Now you probably wonder "Will this really save me time?" It will definitely save you time. And the time you save up will add up quicker if you're a person who loves to grind. Just think about it. Every monster you kill and loot automatically will save you a second or 2. When you kill 100's and 1000's of monsters per day and you save 1 or 2 seconds per monster by looting automatically, by the end of the days you will have saved a lot of time which you can then spend on something more productive. So loot automatically and be a better player!
