Different Channels In Beginner Zones

2009-08-28T12:45:00Z

Did you know... that there are 10 different channels in the beginner zones?Aion is played by millions of players around the world which means it can get crowded on maps at times. To solve this problem, NCsoft introduced Channels to Aion. A channel is a different instance of the same map.Let's say channel 1 (default channel) in the beginner zone has 100 players on it and there were no monsters to kill. To solve this problem you could switch to any other the other 9 channels where there are monsters. You'd still be on the same map, but this time without the other 100 people that are on channel 1.With beginner zones I mean Altgard and Ishalgen (for Asmodians) and Verteron and Poeta (for Elyos) Can't Find Your Friend? I've come across this question a few times now and it's always been something like "me and my friend are on the same server and same map, but we can't see each other" The answer to this is obvious. You and your friend aren't on the same channel. To find out on which channel you are, you'll have to press Menu [F10] --> Support --> Change Channel. Once you done this you'll see in which channel you are.Alternatively, if you are grouped with your friend, you can hover over his name in the party window. Doing this will show the channel your friend is in. Or you could open up the map [M] and hover over your friend's name. This will also show the channel he or she is in.To switch channels press Menu [F10] --> Support --> Change Channel --> MoveQuick video of me changing channels and showing how it's done.

(Boss) Ruthless Jahama & Drops

2009-07-21T19:58:08Z

The last "boss" which you can kill in the Black Claw Village / Outpost area is the Ruthless Jahama, which is a level 18 monster. If you've watched the other 4 bosses in the Black Claw Village / Outpost area, you'll know that the pauldrons are the only items left. And as you can guess, the Ruthless Jahama drops the pauldrons. In the video you can see 3 pauldron drops, the only on you're not seeing is the leather pauldrons. But rest assured, that one drops as well. The pauldrons and the other item drops from this boss are:

The items you didn't see, but that do drop from the Ruthless Jahama are:

If you are wondering where to find this boss, and I'm pretty sure there are some people that do wonder, this would be a good place to start looking for it. This boss doesn't wonder around and neither does it spawn in different locations. So if you found it once, you'll be able to find it again.

Having killed all the smaller bosses leaves us with 1 more boss to go, and this is the World Boss. Unlike the ones you've seen so far, this one does actually hit pretty hard and is capable of killing people and not just hurting them. Keep an eye out for the next video/blogpost, because that will finally show a real boss.

For those that didn't see the video on YouTube, just click on the image below and you'll get to watch it.

(Boss) Numurru Quickfist & Drops

2009-07-20T01:46:05Z

The 4th video from the "Bosses" in the Black Claw Elite zone, is from the Numurru Quickfist. This is the boss that drops the level 18 boots, which you can use till you craft your own boots at level 20. This is ofcourse, of you dont have blue boots by the time you try the Numurru Quickfist. The Numurru Quickfist is 1 of the many bosses which require no tactics to kill. It's just tank and spank. But, as always, be carefull of monsters that might j0in the boss while you're fighting it.

The items you see in the video are:

Misty Wind Mubaba & Drops

2009-07-17T12:54:11Z

The Misty Wind Mubaba is one of the I think 5 named monsters that wonder around in the Black Claw Elite zone. As you might have noticed so far, each of these monsters drop specific items and if you want to complete a set, you're going to need to kill them all. The trick with this boss is to seperate the additional monsters from the boss itself, and you can easily do that by pulling all the monsters, and jump behind the tree you can see in the video. Once the pulller is behind the tree, the monsters will lose agro and after that you can just pick them off. Also, jumping behind the tree is a save way to get rid of any monsters.

The Misty Wind Mubaba is the one that drops the uppers. In the video you can see these items drop (hover over the name to see the stats):

None of these are really rare, but it's worth having them at level 20 nonetheles. If you have questions or comments, feel free to leave them below.
