개발자노트 3주차(스킬밸런스등)
Developmental Note 3 (Skill Balances et cetera)

[PC]
Q. 시즌2에서는 이전보다 더 많은 타이틀을 획득할 수 있었습니다. 정작 타이틀 장착 시 효과도 크지 않고, 타이틀간 차이도 크게 없습니다.
Q. In CBT 2, there were many more titles available than before, but the bonus effects weren't significant and the differences between the titles were trivial.
Dev.현재 공개된 타이틀은 대략 그 정도 능력이라고 보시면 됩니다. 앞으로 공개될 타이틀은 현재 보다 더 많은 노력을 해야만 얻을 수 있습니다. 그만큼 이전 타이틀보다 효과도 좋고, 차별화 되지 않을까 합니다.
물론, 현재 공개된 타이틀의 기본 능력에 대해서도 추가 검토해 좀 더 보완하도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. Currently available titles are simply what they are; simple. Though, more titles to come in the near future will require more effort to obtain, which will naturally grant more powerful effects and distinguish themselves more noticeably from the existing ones. Of course, we'll make sure to look over the existing titles to see if we could make any improvements.

[Skill]
Q. 스킬북 구매 시, 비용 부담이 적지 않습니다. 키나가 부족해 스킬을 제때 다 배우지 못합니다. 가격 좀 낮춰주세요
Q. The cost of spellbooks is difficult to manage. It's often not possible to learn all the spells/skills at the right level. Please lower the cost of spellbooks.

Dev.이번 CBT를 통해 스킬북 구매 등 일련의 과정은 향후 적정 비용 산정을 위한 기반 자료가 될 것입니다. 앞으로 각 직업별 스킬 트리가 완성되면 현재 자료를 근거해 적절한 가격 수준으로 조정하도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. The data collected from this test regarding prices of commodities will be the base on which we will be assigning the correct prices. Once the skill trees are completed for each class, we'll refer back to the data we've collected and adjust the prices as we see fit.

Q. 스킬 재사용 시간이 공유되는 스킬 중 일부는 다른 스킬 사용을 방해하는 경우가 있습니다. 예를 들어 �불꽃 화살�과 �해류 폭렬�은 재사용 시간이 다름에도 동시에 사용을 할 수 없는 스킬로 되어 있어, 스킬 사용시 제약이 많습니다.
Q. The skills that share the same cooldown period sometimes hinder the usage of other skills. For example, 'Flame Arrow' and 'Explosion' have different cooldown periods but they are paired together, restricting the player from using the skills more freely.

Dev.이번 CBT 결과를 바탕으로 하여 검성/수호성 외에도 모든 클래스에 대한 밸런스 조정을 할 예정입니다. 이 때 해당 부분도 함께 고려될 수 있도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. Based on the data we've collected from this CBT, we plan to make adjustments to all classes in addition to Gladiators/Templars. We'll make sure to look into it.

Q. 스킬마다 사용 조건이 있습니다. 특히 비행시 사용 가능한 스킬이나, 반대로 비행 중 사용이 불가능한 스킬이 존재합니다. 현재 스킬 툴팁에는 그러한 부분에 대한 설명이 부족합니다.
Q. Each skill has a specific condition of usage. For example, there are flight-only skills, ground-only skills, but there are insufficient amount of explanation in the skill tool tip text.

Dev.네, 지금도 부족한 설명 부분을 계속해서 채우는 작업을 진행 하고 있습니다. 스킬 사용 조건 및 제한 사항에 대해서도 보충될 있도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. We are working on the incomplete aspects of the game as we speak.

[Combat]
Q. PvP를 하는데 전투가 너무 빨리 끝나 자기 능력을 채 발휘하기도 전에 끝납니다. 그래서 원거리 직업이 더 강해 보이기도 하구요. 어떻게 생각하시는지요?
Q. In PvP, it seems like the battle ends much too quickly before one even has a chance to show off one's own skills. This makes the ranged character classes seem much more powerful. What's your thought on this?

Dev.단편적인 전투 시간보단, 직업간 PvP밸런스에 대한 전반적인 문의로 생각합니다. 앞선 2주차 개발실 노트에서 공개한 내용처럼 직업별 특성 강화 이외에도 직업별 능력을 제대로 발휘할 수 있도록 스킬 구성 및 PvP상황에서의 밸런싱을 함께 조정할 예정입니다. 종합적으로 많은 변화가 있을 것입니다.
Dev. We think it has to do more with character balance rather than it being a problem with the duration of combat. As we've mentioned earlier in an earlier developmental note, we plan on doing a lot of balance work in addition to enhancing each character class's unique quality. Expect to see much change.

[Quest]
Q. 잠입 퀘스트를 받고 상대 종족 지역으로 이동하는 경우, 돌아오는 방법에 대한 설명이 없어 다시 돌아올 때는 한참동안 방법을 찾아야 했습니다. 보내기만 하지 말고 돌아오는 방법도 제시되면 좋겠습니다.
Q. When doing infiltration quests, players are sent into the enemy territory without an explanation on how to get back. It'd be nice to have some sort of an explanation on how to get back into one's own territory.

Dev.퀘스트 수행 시 그러한 부분에 대해서 안내될 수 있도록 방안을 찾아보겠습니다.
Dev. We'll make sure to search for a solution to those quest-related problems.

[Item]
Q. 아이템 강화를 했을 경우 몇 단계 강화 아이템인지 확인하기가 쉽지 않습니다. 강화된 수치만 보이는 것이 아니라, 강화 단계가 얼마인지 직접 확인할 수 있었으면 합니다.

Q. It's difficult to confirm the level of enchantment on an item. Instead of displaying only the additional effects from the enchantment process, it'd be nice to have some sort of an indicator telling the players what level of enchantment the item has.

Dev.아이템마다의 강화되는 수치가 달라, 결과만을 보고 강화 단계를 확인하기 어렵다는 의견을 받아 보았습니다. 아이템 강화시 강화 단계를 바로 확인할 수 있도록 아이템 설명을 보완하도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. We've been told that it's difficult to determine the level of enchantment on an item due to the varied effects of each item. We'll make sure to add a means of confirming the level of enchantment more easily.

Q. 마석도 많이 먹고, 채집도 많이 해서 그런지 인벤토리가 항상 부족합니다. 자주 정리를 할 수 있게 창고나 상점이 더 여러 곳에 배치되었으면 합니다.

Q. Due to the abundance of manastones and materials, there's never enough room in the inventory. It'd be nice if there were more merchants or banks distributed around the map to ease this burden.

Dev.인벤토리가 늘 부족하다는 의견 많이 받고 있습니다. ^^ 잡화 상인을 좀 더여러 곳에 배치하거나 그 외 다양한 보완책도 함께 검토하도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. We've been informed of this problem. We'll make sure to place more merchants scattered around the map or come up with a viable solution to remedy this.

[UI]
Q. 레기온창에서 레기온 소속인원끼리 파티를 하거나, 귓속말을 할때 지원하는 기능이 없어 채팅창의 일반 기능을 그냥 이용해야 합니다. 레기온 창에서 이런 기능을 지원해 주었으면 합니다.

Q. There are no dedicated Legion functions that facilitate communication between Legion members such as formation of parties among members and whispering. Please add support for these features.

Dev.많은 분들이 레기온 활동을 활발하게 해주셔서, 그만큼 불편한 부분에 대한 의견도 많았던 것 같습니다. 레기온 소속 인원끼리 귓속말, 파티초대 등을 좀 더 쉽게 할 수 있도록, 레기온창 내 기능을 보완하도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. We'll make sure to supplement the Legion window with more functions to facilitate the formation of parties and whispering among Legion members.

Q. 채팅창에 아이템 링크를 하는 기능이 있어 거래할 때 매우 유용합니다. 이런 기능을 좀 더 확대해서 퀘스트 정보나, 제작 도안 등을 알려줄 때도 사용할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다

Q. The feature that allows one to link items in the chat window is very handy. It'd be nice to see this feature expand to include support for quest infos and crafting recipes as well.

Dev.현재 유용하게 사용되고 있는 만큼, 좀 더 폭 넓게 적용시켜 게임 진행 중 필요한 정보 교환이 보다 용이하도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. We'll see to it that the feature be expanded to facilitate the exchange of information among players.

Q. 해상도를 크게해서 게임을 하고 있는데, 해상도를 키워도 퀘스트 창이나 인벤토리 등의 크기를 줄여 화면을 넓게 사용하지 못하고 있습니다. 이런 창 크기를 조정할 수 있도록 할 수는 없나요?
Q. When playing the game at high resolutions, it is not possible to resize the quest/inventory/etc windows to take advantage of the more spacious screen. Would it be possible to add support for customization of window sizes?

Dev.UI의 확대/축소에 대한 제안이 많았는데, 같은 맥락이라고 생각이 됩니다. 효과적인 방안은 검토해보도록 하겠습니다.
Dev. We've received suggestions regarding the flexibility of UI size. We'll see if there are any viable solutions.

[Beta Test Season2] - Q&A Developer's Note from Week 2

[Beta Test Season2] - Q&A Developer's Note from Week 2

[PC] Regarding Class Balance:
------------------
------------------

Gladiator: Although Gladiators are already better at countering ranged attacks than Templars, we thought it is necessary to improve it further.

------------------

Templar: We are aware that templars are not able to tank as well as a main tank should be, our plan is to focus on improving their tanking abilities significantly.

------------------

We are also adding new [increase run speed/charge] like abilities to both gladiators and templars so they will be able to react better in both PVE and PVP.

------------------
------------------

Assassin: We've received a lot of complaint and feedback regarding assasins being weak and having a small role in both small and large group PVP. To fix this issue we will be adding 2 new skills to assasins: [strong strike] and [master stealth].

We expect these changes to impact on the PVE aspect of an assassin as well. However this will still be dependent mainly on players' ability to control and rotate their skill usage.

------------------

Ranger: We have no plans to change the Ranger class as of now. Instead, we will be reviewing some of the items that are relative to the Ranger class, especially the Zaif's Soul (aka Wolf form).

------------------
------------------

Sorcerer: The concept of sorcerer, that is being relative weak in melee range combat but having strong ranged attacks, will not be changed. We are aware of the current mana regen issue, and will be looking into the problem in order to improve it.

------------------

Spiritmaster: We are focusing on giving pets a bigger role than just being a tank or extra dps by having different roles and skills to be used depending on the situation.

------------------
------------------

Cleric: We're focusing on improving their solo play aspect.

------------------

Chanter: We are working on improving Chanter's damage as well as buffs so that chanters will become more useful for both solo'ing and partying.

------------------

We will change the amount of threat generated by healing.

------------------
------------------

Note: There will be more changes and considerations other than the ones listed above. This is only a small outline of our goals.

New Zone - South Rakhan

jameinkaiser — Tue, 6 May 2008 23:41:27

Hey guys, I've been kind of busy lately (papers... midterms.. still not done!) so I've been kind of neglecting translations, I apologise for that. Here's a short new article that came up on ThisIsGame discussing a new zone called South Rakhan; it may not say much, but it might give you an insight into what kind of content we can expect as the game progresses.

Note to whoever has free time and power to edit: Please provide an alternative link for the video, and pictures as attachments if needed.
---
Source: ThisIsGame

2008.05.06 12:19 새로운 지역 그것이 알고싶다.
Unveiling the new zone

디스이즈 게임에서는 베일에 쌓여있던 아이온의 그 숨겨진 지역 'South Rakhan'을 공개한다. 이 지역은 아이온의 전체 맵에는 등장하지 않는 장소로서 한 장의 지도와 전체 월드맵만이 공개돼있다.
ThisIsGame presents the hidden zone 'South Rakhan', a location that does not show up in the overall view. Only a small regional map has been revealed of this region.

디스이즈게임을 통해 공개된 두 장의 스크린샷. 각각 남 라한의 지도와 위성 스크린샷으로 추측된다.

Above are the two screenshots revealed through ThisIsGame.

Zone Divisions (South Rakhan - 남쪽 라한)

Tizerid Sky Fortress - 티제리드 공중 요새
소지역명 - 바람의 안식처
Den of Screams - 통곡의 감옥
Twilight Shores - 황혼의 해안
Windhaven Glen - 바람의 안식처
Death Valley - 죽음의 사막
Krall Outpost - 투르시낙스
Red Dragontear Valley - 붉은 용의 눈물 계곡
Mycospora - 포자의 숲
Bramble Bride - 가시나무 덤불 다리
Urdah Ruins - 우르다 유적
Fezran Forest - 그늘 뿌리 숲

눈치가 빠른 유저들이라면 알아차렸을 지도 모르겠지만, 이곳은 지난 2006년도 E3에서 아이온이 처음 공개됐을 때 선보인 바로 그 지역이다.
Observant readers may have noticed that this is the same zone that was revealed back in 2006 at E3, when Aion was unveiled for the first time.

라한은 티제리드 공중 요새와 우르다 유적에서 시작되는 지역으로 약 20분정도면, 클리어할 수 있는 아주 '작은' 지역이다. 이 지역에서는 죽음의 사막을 거쳐 크랄의 본거지인 투르시낙스에 진입하는 과정과 어비스 게이트 안에 숨어든 대족장 산두카를 쓰러뜨린 후 지금은 폐허가 되었지만, 과거에는 평온했던 투르시낙스를 돌이켜 보는 과정이 담겨있다.

South Rakhan is a very 'tiny' zone that can be cleared in about 20 minutes, with the starting points in Tizerid Sky Fortress and Urdah Ruins. Players can infiltrate the Krall Outpost through the Death Valley, and upon defeating Grand Chief Sanduka hiding in the Abyssal Gate, players are shown a brief flashback into the peaceful past of what is now the ruins that harbor the Krall Outpost.

Part 1 Youtube
Part 2 Youtube
Part 3 Youtube

더불어 천족(당시 천인)의 뒤를 따라다니는 미지의 캐릭터가 등장하는 컷 신 역시 눈여겨 볼 법한 부분이다. 눈에 빨간 빛이 감도는 것을 봐서 이는 현재의 마족을 나타내려 한 것이 아닐까 예상되기도 하고 스토리상 마족이 천족으로 둔갑하였을 것도 추측 된다.
It's worth noting of the NPC that follows the player around as shown in the cutscene. Judging from the glowing red eyes, it may have been an earlier representation of the Asmodians, or could have been an Asmodian disguised as an Elyos lore-wise.

아직까지는 이 라한 지역이 실제 아이온의 어떤 부분에 등장할 지는 알 수 없다. 다만 E3 버전의 지도와 전체맵이 아직까지 게임 내에 들어가 있는 것을 봤을 때 이를 활용한 새로운 컨텐츠가 어떠한 방식으로든 나올 가능성이 매우 높을 것으로 예상 된다.
At the moment, it's difficult to determine when the zone will be introduced in terms of game progress. Seeing how the E3 version of the map and the world map are still included in the game though, it's very likely that we'll be seeing new content including the zone very soon.

[Beta Test Season 2] - Q&A Developer's Note from Week 1

Irisviel — Thu, 1 May 2008 02:43:37

[Beta Test Season 2] - Q&A Developer's Note from Week 1

[PC]
Q: I've heard that both Gladiator and Templar have been improved in CBT2. But it feels as if the rest of the classes are not as good as before. It seems as if chanters became worse than they were last year, also I was going to level a socerer but I've heard that they are harder to level than before?

Dev: We've received a lot of feedback and opinions regarding class balance after CBT1, and we've been discussing it a lot. We do know that every class requires review, as for now however, we had decided to review Gladiator and Templar first in preparation for Season 2 CBT. We will work on the other classes after reviewing their abilities in Season 2.

We do know that many things still need to be adjusted, tweaked and balanced but please do understand that we feel that it is necessary to receive opinions of our Aion Beta Testers first before making changes. We will reward our testers' efforts by improving Aion as we receive more feedbacks.

Q: I've read in an article about Players commenting that it is faster to level an Asmodian character than an Elyos character. I'm very curious as to what the developers feel regarding this issue.

Dev: Yes, we've already explained this in a previous interview. Elyseas will level slow at the beginning when compared to Asmodians but much faster in the later contents. For Asmodians, it's vice versa. They will level fast early in the game but slower in the later contents. Therefore, the effort and time required to reach max level for both races will balance out in the end. We've set the level cap in Season 2 CBT to be 34, so I guess you can say that the Asmodians do have an advantage in leveling up to this level. We hope that players will not get the wrong idea that we're favouring Asmodians over Elyseas.

Q: Once I hit level 9, I was able to become Deva and complete a quest that rewards the divine skillbook. But since all the classes are listed, if I picked the wrong one, there's no way to reverse this and I won't be able to learn my divine skill instead.

Dev: We are aware of this issue and we will look into it as it does affect players heavily.

[Level]
Q: I've visited the newly released zone after reaching level 20, but one thing I noticed is that when compared with the earlier zones, there aren't as many quests to complete. Do players have to rely on grinding in order to level up once again?

Dev: What we've intended is for players to wonder around 3 different areas after level 20 which include the current +20 zone we've released, as well as Abyss. As you all know, we've only released 1 level 20 area as of now, since we have not yet completed abyss and another area. Players are currently experiencing 1/3 of the +20 contents. Please believe that we're working hard in order to release the rest of the contents to our testers as soon as possible.

Q: There has been a problem regarding the respawn timer and rate for players in the CBT2 as there are often too many players and not enough monsters.

Dev: We are aware of the issue, and will work on implementing a new system after receiving feedback from our testers. We hope that our testers will be patient with us while we address these problems.

[Quest]
Q: Certain quests rewards are just not worth the effort spent on completing the quest. Don't we deserve better rewards for the effort we put in?

Dev: We will look into the quests and improve the current rewards that does not scale with the effort spent on completing the quest.

Q: It has been quite challenging to turn in quests as some NPC tend to move around or attack any monster that comes within range. Would there be a chance for Quest Givers to be stationary?

Dev: Every NPC are programmed to assist the players from the same faction and to protect the area by patrolling around therefore it is hard to have them stay at one spot. However we will think of a way to make things easier for players.

[UI]
Q: There was an option to select custom eye colors but it was not included in CBT2, please add it back?

Dev: It was removed while we were designing the character customization of CBT2, but we will consider reimplementing it into the character selection later.

Q: As you know there had been a series of server crashes. Everytime the server goes down unexpectedly, shortkeys and macro settings were lost in the process. Please develop a way to have these setup saved even if the server crashes.

Dev: We've been trying to solve the server crashes as our first priority. We will also look into the system to fix this problem and make it better overall.

Raid Boss: Chief Kuraka

jameinkaiser — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:34:13

The following article is a brief strategy guide (more like a report...) on how to successfully slay the raid boss, Kuraka.

Raid Boss Strategy Guide - Chief Kuraka
Original Author: 히카군
--------------------------
2008/04/17 00:25:28

안녕하세요~ 천족 레기온 <디스이즈게임>의 히카입니다..'3'~예이

스크린샷 게시판에 적당히 나눠 올리려고 했는데 그냥 공략식으로 올리는 것이 나을 것 같아서
간략하게 정리합니다. 자세한 내용은 아마 나루군이 해줄 것이라 믿구요(..무책임)

Hello~ This is 히카 from Elysian Legion '3'~Yay
I've considered uploading them on the screenshots board, but thought it might be better to format it as a strategy guide, so here it is.

천족 레기온 <디스이즈게임>에서 오늘 공략한 몬스터는 족장 쿠라카입니다.
The raid boss we're reviewing today is Chief Kuraka.

용족의 음모 저지 퀘스트를 하신 분들이라면 한번쯤 마주치신 그분~!!
Anyone who's completed the quest "The Balaur's Intrigue" should have had the chance to kill him at least once

<공략 참여 인원>

나루군 - 레벨 22 수호성(탱커)

검흔 - 레벨 25 검성(보조탱커 겸 근접 데미지딜러)

히카군- 레벨 22 정령성 ('메인' 데미지딜러)

TIG진정한 - 레벨 20 치유성 (메인 힐러)

무심투혼 - 레벨 20 궁성 (원거리 데미지 딜러)

TIG시아 - 레벨 15 치유성 (깍두기 '보조' 힐러)

나루군 - Lvl 22 Templar (Tank)
검흔 - Lvl 25 Gladiator (Off-tank/Melee damage dealer)
히카군 - Lvl 22 Spiritmaster ('Main' damage dealer)
TIG진정한 - Lvl 20 Cleric (Main healer)
무심투혼 - Lvl 20 Ranger (Ranged damage dealer)
TIG시아 - Lvl 12 Cleric ('Secondary'/backup healer)

1차 테스트 당시 20레벨 20명이 달려들었지만 거의 전멸직전까지 이르렀다고 하는 강력한 몬스터 입니다. 현재는 6인파티로 클리어가 가능하지만 강력한 화력을 지원할 마법성이나 정령성이 필수적이라고 보입니다.
This is the boss that wiped out a team of twenty Lvl 20's back in CBT 1. Currently, it's possible to successfully kill him with a party of six, but having powerful damage-dealers such as Sorcerers or Spiritmasters is a must.

<쿠라카 사냥의 핵심은 강력한 딜링~ 정령성의 물의 정령이 원거리 공격이 매우 중요합니다. 근거리로 붙을 경우에는 쿠라카의 광역공격에 녹아버리고 말아요...어흑>
range. Should it try to fight in close-range, it'll evaporate helplessly against Kuraka's AoE attack>

쿠라카의 공격패턴은 크게 3가지입니다. 일반적으로 광역공격이 수시로 사용되기 때문에 체력이 약한 마법성, 정령성, 치유성, 호법성 등은 일단은 피해있는 것이 중요합니다. 결국은 원거리 화력 지원이 매우 중요합니다. 근접 데미지 딜링은 튼튼한 검성정도는 되야겠죠..'3'~
Kuraka's attacks can largely be divided into three categories. Keep in mind that he uses AoE attacks quite frequently, so it's recommended that classes with low health such as Sorcerers, Spiritmasters, Clerics, and Chanters keep a distance. Ranged firepower plays a very important role. As for close-range damage dealing, a well-built Gladiator should do.

패턴 1) 전방에 광역화살
Attack type 1> Omnidirectional Arrows

체력이 20%정도 감소하면 전방에 광역화살을 날리기 시작하는데 이때 탱커가 파티원의 반대방향으로 쿠라카를 돌릴경우 탱커만 화살공격을 받기 때문에 탱커는 일단 쿠라카를 파티원의 반대방향으로 먼저 돌려야 합니다.
Once he loses about 20% of his health, he starts shooting arrows everywhere. The tank should position himself so the boss is facing away from the other party members, so the tank is the only character hit by the arrows.

<파티원은 쿠라카의 등짝을 봐야합니다>
back>

<안그러면 파티를 향해 광역화살을 난사합니다>

패턴2) 잠재우기
Attack type 2) Sleep

약 체력이 25%정도 빠져나가면 '모두 잠들어라' 라는 말과 함께 주변의 캐릭터에게 수면마법을 거는데 이때 힐러가 힐을 넣거나 마법성이나 정령성이 과도한 데미지 딜링을 할경우 대참사가 일어나기 때문에 왠만하면 자제를 하는 것이 좋습니다.
Once he loses about 25% of his health, he will make the surrounding characters fall asleep with the words, "All of you, slumber!" When this happens, ensure that the healers do not heal and the casters not deliver spike damage, otherwise a 'catastrophe' will occur.

<모두 잠들어라!! 라는 말을 듣고 잘자는 우리 캐릭터들..=ㅅ=>

패턴 3) 광역공격
Attack type 3) Area of Effect

이 광역공격 시점은 따로 지점이 없이 사용되는데 '이 그지 깽깽이들!' 이라는 대사가 나오면 일단 자신의 캐릭터의 체력을 먼저 확인해야 합니다. 왜냐하면 다음에 나오는 '충격과 공포를'이라는 대사 다음 '느껴봐라'라고 말하며 주변에 있는 모든 유저에게 약 1000가량의 피해를 주는 마법화살을 날리기 때문인데요 체력관리를 소홀히 했다가는 바로 눕습니다. 체력을 회복할 틈이 없는 분은 일단 도망치라는 말밖에는 해드릴 수 없네요..;;
This attack is used at random. Once he says "You worthless fools!", the most important thing to do is to check your health, because what comes next is a series of AoE arrow attacks that take about 1000 HP from players, following the messages "Feel the..." and "Shock and Fear!". Poor health management will lead you to death. If you don't have the chance to recover your health, I'd advise you to run.

<졸래 아픕니다. '그지 깽깽이들아' 라는 대사가 나오면 일단은 체력부터 확인을>
a lot. Once you hear 'You worthless fools!", make sure to check your health...>

1탱커 3딜러 2힐러 체제로 공략을 했고 딜링의 중심에는 강력한 화력이 핵심인 '정령성' 혹은 '마법성'이 필수적으로 필요합니다.
The raid was done with one tank, three damage dealers, and two healers, and as mentioned before, Sorcerers or Spiritmasters are crucial for firepower.

저희가 회수한 드랍템은..
And what we looted...

1파템, 2녹템, 2일반템 이었으며 위의 아이템은 모두 일반거래가 가능한 아이템입니다.

Instanced Dungeon: Arcanis Temple

jameinkaiser — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 19:38:05

Hey guys, I translated this article thinking that it might give a bit of an insight to what instanced dungeons will be like in Aion, but after reading it a couple of times it doesn't really seem like it says all that much after all... Anyway, here you go.

Terms to consider:
Named Monster - I translated this verbatim--it probably means 'unique monster'
Arcanis Floating Temple - The entry dungeon to the Temple of Fire
----------------
Source: ThisIsGame

2008.04.17 00:35 최초공개! 불의 신전과 아르카니스 공중신전!
Temple of Fire and Arcanis Floating Temple revealed

아이온의 인스턴트 던전! 불의 신전과 아르카니스 공중신전에 대한 대략적인 정보들이 아이온 디스이즈게임을 통해 최초로 밝혀졌다. 비록 몇몇 스크린샷과 짧은 체험을 통해 작성된 기록이지만 이 내용만으로도 여러분의 아르카니스 공중신전과 불의 신전에 대한 기대감을 높여주기에는 충분할 것이다.

각종 네임드 몬스터와 고난이도의 입장퀘스트, 화려한 몬스터가 기다리는 살풍경한 아르카니스 공중신전, 불의 신전으로 지금 떠나보도록 하자. /디스이즈게임 한낮

Details of Aion's instanced dungeon, the Temple of Fire and Arcanis Floating Temple have finally become available here at ThisIsGame. It's a short article consisting of a few screenshots and videos, but it should provide enough detail to heighten your expectations of the dungeon.

Let us embark on a journey to the Temple of Fire and Arcanis Floating Temple, where various Named Monsters, entry quests of surprising difficulty, and elaborate monsters await.

What are the Temple of Fire and Arcanis Floating Temple?

불의 신전은 마족의 첫 번째 인스턴트 던전으로서 세 번째 지역인 모르헤임의 중심부, 무스펠 화산지대에 위치하고 있다. 이곳은 용암이 흐르고 화산재가 사방으로 튀는 장소로서 대부분이 얼음평야인 모르헤임의 분위기와는 전혀 다른 분위기를 풍기고 있다.
The Temple of Fire is the first instanced dungeon for the Asmodians, located in the heart of Morheim within Muspel Volcanic Zone. The splashing sparks and bubbling lava provide a starkly contrasting atmosphere compared to the rest of the predominantly icy ecosystem.

Right here

Can't you feel its dangerous aura just by looking at it?

오늘의 주 탐험대상은 불의 신전의 진입로 역할을 하는 아르카니스 공중신전! 불의 신전 입장 미션인 심연의 열쇠를 진행하는 곳이다.
Today, we'll be exploring Arcanis Floating Temple-- where players will proceed with the mission "Key to the Chasm", which will grant entrance to the Temple of Fire.

Countless named monsters and sparks of judgment

아르카니스 공중신전은 크게 공중던전과 다섯 개의 작은 부유대륙과 용암바닥으로 구성돼있다. 각 부유대륙에는 칼크겔름, 드레이크와 데카르비아, 옵스큐라, 가고일, 판도라겔름 몹들이 무리 지어 자리잡고 있으며 용암바닥에는 불꽃의 정령과 바실리스크들이 살고 있다.
Arcanis Floating Temple can largely be divided into the main floating temple, five floating platforms, and the magma floor. Each platform fosters (please excuse my inconsistent romanisation) Kalkgelm, Drakes, Dekarvia, Obscura, Gargoyle, Pandoragelm in groups, while Fire Spirits and Basilisks roam the magma floor.

그리고 각각의 대륙에는 각기 하나씩의 네임드가 존재한다. 공중신전 앞에도 네임드 한 마리가 오가고 있으므로 놓치지 말자. 참고로 드레이크와 데카르비아의 대륙에서는 네임드를 확인하지 못했다.
Each platform also features a Named Monster. There's one right in front of the floating temple as well. Named Monsters could not be confirmed on Drakes' and Dekarvia's platforms, however.

'Stonefist Sapiro' of Kalkgelm platform--small and swift. Beware of the adds.

'Observer Ulrika' of Pandoragelm Platform. All the mobs around it have ranged capabilities-- be careful while in flight!

'Arcanis Rock' of Gargoyles' and Tempelgelm platform-- it sure does live up to its name. Takes a hell of a lot of hits.

'Soul Reaper Hazaan' of Obscura platform. Beware of spell feedback, a trait common among all Obscura.

'Guardian Statue Lakrum' of the floating temple. It constantly aggros the adds around it-- cleaning up the area is a must!

'Sparks of Judgment' of the magma floor. Not only does he sit in the middle of the lava but also has ranged capabilities. The battle takes place while the player is in flight mode. One mob that I couldn't defeat.

Quests of Arcanis Floating Temple

아르카니스의 공중신전에는 특별한 거점이 존재하지 않는다. 다만 아그니타의 충복인 불라간을 통해 불의 신전으로 향하는 자격을 얻는 미션 �심연의 열쇠�를 진행할 수 있다.
There aren't any special strategic points in the floating temple. However, you can obtain the quest 'Key to the Chasm' which will permit entrance into the Temple of Fire in order to proceed with the mission.

미션의 최종 목적은 물의 방과 바람의 방을 거쳐 불의 방에 있는 심연의 열쇠를 가져오는 것이다. 아쉽게도 물의 방 문지기를 처치하지 못 한 탓에 이 이후의 과정은 볼 수 없었다. 하지만 스토리 상으로 유추해봤을 때 이 심연의 열쇠를 통해 불라간이 말했던 불의 신전에 갇혀있는 아그니티를 구출하는 것이 불의 신전 최대의 목표가 될 듯하다.
The main objective of the mission is to bring back the Key to the Chasm located in the Chamber of Fire by going through the Chamber of Water and the Chamber of Winds. Unfortunately, the latter part of the quest could not be shown because I could not get past the guards of the Chamber of Water. One can assume, however, from the story that the ultimate objective of the mission will be to rescue Agniti imprisoned within the Chamber of Fire using the Key to the Chasm.

참고로 불의 신전은 이미 이전의 '시공의 균열' 영상 천족편을 통해 아주 약간이나마 공개된 적있다. 평범한 동굴과 비슷한 내부에는 거대한 문으로 막혀있고 이를 통해 공중신전과 연결되는 방식이었다.
Note: The Temple of Fire had previously been shown briefly on a video featuring 'The Gap in Time and Space'. There's a big shut gate inside an ordinary looking cave, and through the gate one can gain access to the floating temple.

당시의 영상 중 불의 신전과 관련된 부분을 뽑아왔으니 한 번 감상해보자.
Here's a clip related to the Temple of Fire.

Loot

불의 신전에서는 네임드의 위력에 걸맞게 다양한 아이템을 얻을 수 있다. 아쉽게도 이번 토벌에서는 희귀템까지만 얻을 수 있었지만 네임드의 수나 레벨 등을 볼 때 전승 혹은 유일 등급의 아이템도 노려볼 수 있을 것이다.
You can expect a variety of items from the Named Monsters in the dungeon. Unfortunately, the best we got from this raid was a rare, but looking at the number of Named Monsters and levels, it's likely that we might be able to see unique items drop as well.

Bonus - Greed brings misfortune

...아이템 욕심에 눈이 멀어 '하나만 더, 하나만 더'를 외치던 한낮의 최후.

...'one more run, just one more run'.. driven by greed, Hannat drove himself into such a fate.

Enchanting

jameinkaiser — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:13:08

Translator's note: It may seem like I have used the terms 'enhancement' and 'enchanting' interchangeably.. I really didn't. 강화 would be translated as something closer to 'enhancement', but the system seems like it resembles the system from Lineage 2 rather than WoW's enchanting system.. So I couldn't really decide on what terms to use; it might be better to wait until NC introduces the official terms for them.

Terms to consider:
enchanting rocks/stones/enhancement rocks/stones (my apologies, i couldn't stick to a more consistent term, but they all mean the same thing)
manastones
enchantment level
Extraction (disenchantment)

아이템 강화해서 쓰자^-^*

안녕하세요. 이번에는 아이템 강화에 대해서 알아보겠습니다.

다들 강화하셔서 쓰시길래.. 먼가했더니.. 저두 그저께 답글로 알게 되었습니다.

혹시 모르시는 분들을 위하여 간단한 그림으로 설명드리겠습니다^^

Enhancement of Items -

Hello. Today, we'll review the item enhancement system.

Everyone seemed to be using their equipment enhanced.. so I've been wondering what it was.. and I found out about it just the day before yesterday through someone's comment.

＠ 잡화상인에게서 [추출도구]를 삽니다. 가격은 개당 200키나.

@ First, buy [Extraction Tools] from the general merchant. This costs about 200 Qina each.

Extraction Tools (20)

Type: Extraction Tools

Disenchant items using the tools to obtain enchanting rocks which can be used for enhancement of items.

Do you really wish to disenchant [Forester's Shield]?

[Forester's Shield] will be destroyed in process.

Yes No

---

@요게 중요하죠. 녹템을 추출해서 강화석을 만드는것입니다.
일반템두 되긴하는데 종류가 되는게 있고안되는게 있어서 ㅎㅎ
녹템을 예로 들었습니다.
아이템 레벨별로 다양한 강화석을 추출할 수 있습니다.. 테스트 해보진 못했는데..
렙이 낮은 강화석을 무기에 바르면 확률이 저하되지 않을까 예상되네요..

@This is the important part, disenchanting green items to obtain enchanting rocks.

Normal items work as well, but there are types that do and those that don't, so it's more of a hassle.

Let's take a green item for an example.

Depending on the item's level, a variety of enchanting rocks can be extracted. I haven't yet tested this, but I suspect lower level items have a lower chance of success.

아템운도없어서 녹템을 먹은적이없고 강화하시기 어려우신 분이 계시면,,,

경매장에서 모든 물품을 검색하셔서..

2000키나 미만의 녹템을 다삽니다..

저는 10개 이상사서 추출했더니 키나가 마니들더군요...(-_-)

For those of you without luck who have not had the chance to get their hands on a single green item...

I suggest you to search the auction house under 'all items'..

and buy all the green items you see under 2000 Qina.

I bought over 10 of them to disenchant and it cost me quite a bit..

Disenchantment of [Forester's Shield] was successful.

You get the enchantment rocks like this

@ㅋㅋ 땡기는 맨트죠? 지르시겠습니까???ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 지른심이 강림하셧습니다..
참고로 알아두셔야 할경우는,,

인첸을 성공하면 1인첸인거죠 (+4댐지)

인첸을 실패하면 2인첸 짜리는 1이되고, 1단계 감소한답니다. 무기는 안날라가고^^

Some additional info you might find useful:
If the enchantment succeeds, its enchantment level becomes Enchanted 1 (+4 Damage)
If the enchantment fails, an Enchanted 2 item is degraded to Enchanted 1. The weapon is not lost.

Do you really wish to enchant [Bow of the Hills]?

Should the enchantment fail, the enchantment level of the item will be deducted by one.

Yes No

@녹템활 가꼬싶은데..이런거에 인첸을 해야하는 현실이 너무 가슴아프네요..
현 스샷은 +2인첸(+8댐지) 가 된 상태네요..+4 에서 계속 안올라가서 10만 키나넘게
녹템을 뽀각했는데도...gg
마석은 공격력6은 좋다고 박고있네여ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

The screenshot below shows a Enchanted 2 (+8 Damage) bow. I couldn't go over +4 after wasting over 100,000 Qina on buying greens...
The manastone's fine though. +6 damage..

Bow of the Hills

Type: Bow

Level Requirement: 17 or higher

A very slow single-strike weapon

Damage 76 - 116 (+8)

Attack Speed: 2.4 Accuracy: 5

Critical Strike: .5

Mana +35

Enchantment Level 2

Manastones

Damage +6

★ 이런 아템에 강화면 정말 좋을듯 [울프돌이] 님의 비르케 활 스샷 보러가기 클릭!!

★ 일반 활에 지름신이 오신듯 [뢰쉬] 님의 +10 삼림의 활 염장 스샷 보러가기 클릭!!
- [뢰쉬]님의 지르는 비법이랍니다 답글로 설명해 주셨습니다.

뢰쉬 : 무기렙보다 4~5렙 높은 강화석만 쓰세요-ㅂ- ㅋ 그리고....녹탬에 아무거나 마석 박힌것 해체하는게 높은레벨 강화석이 나오더군요 ...ㄷㄷ

Tip: Only use the enchantment stones that are about 4-5 levels higher than the weapon's level.. and.. disenchanting any green items socketed with manastones seems to yield high-level enchanting rocks..

새창으로 열립답니다*^^*

※ 아이템 강화 실패로 인한 비용은 쩡카에게 책임이 없음을 알려드립니다. (_ _ )*

그럼 또 쉭~ ^^/
:: 쩡카 is not held responsible for however amount of money you may lose from repeated failure. ::

CBT 2 DP Skills

Hey guys! Enjoy!

[시즌2] 천족vs마족 DP필살기 정보! 이번 시즌2로 각 종족별 DP스킬이 어떻게 변화하였는지 비교해보기위해 조사했습니다. 천족 법사의 DP스킬 자료를 제공해주신 여로님, 천족 수호성의 DP스킬 자료를 제공해주신 히페리온님께 감사의 마음을 전합니다^^
[Season 2] New info regarding Elyos' & Asmos' divine skills! This article analyses what kind of changes have been made to the DP skills of each race.

전체적으로 정찰자, 법사, 사제계열은 툴팁의 설명이 좀 더 명확해지거나 스킬의 성능이 약간 조정되었으며, 전사 계열은 이전과는 다른 완전히 새로운 DP스킬을 가지게 되었습니다.
Changes in scout, mage, and cleric classes' DP skills include slight tweaks in skill effectiveness and a more clarified tool tip text. Warrior classes, on the other hand, now have revamped DP skills different from their previous counterparts.

1. 정찰자 계열 천족vs마족 DP스킬
1. Scout classes' DP skills: Elyos vs. Asmos

2. 법사 계열 천족vs마족 DP스킬
2. Mage classes' DP skills: Elyos vs. Asmos

3. 사제 계열 천족vs마족 DP스킬
3. Priest classes' DP skills: Elyos vs. Asmos

4. 수호성과 검성은 종족 구분 DP스킬이 없다?
4. Templars and Gladiators don't have race-oriented DP skills?

이번 밸런스 조정으로 새롭게 변한 검성과 수호성에는 예전과 같은 종족별 DP스킬 구분이 없었습니다. 이를 보았을때, 추후 다른 직업들 역시 현재의 종족 구분이 아닌 직업별 구분이 될 가능성이 큰 것 같습니다.
With the new balance tweaks affecting the warrior classes, previously race-oriented warrior DP skills were replaced with class-oriented templar/gladiator DP skills. Judging from this, it seems highly likely that other classes will follow suit.
