Below is a compilation of short introductions for ways to make money in the game. For players who has Kinah as one of the main focus and want to make lots of it, this is a recommendable Aion Kinah reference.

The game features a diverse trading system which offers a variety of options for players to trade and earn much needed in-game cash. For new players, it will be handy to know some of the basic terminologies in the game related this. Check them out below:

Private Store
Players can set up shop and peddle their goods for other players to buy. The good thing about this is that players can leave their stores running even if they’re inactive. When you start the game, you’ll notice that there are private stores set up in the entrances of towns and cities since these are the busiest parts of the turf. You can manually set the price of your goods and since you don’t have to pay anything to set up your store, you’ll be confident that you’ll get your full income.

Crafting
This feature allows players to create their own items from raw materials which they can gather from various sources like enemy drops or from plants and ores. There are six crafts to choose from. Characters can learn all the crafts but can only master one. More details about this will be discussed in the Crafting Overview section.

Hunting
There are “named” or special monsters that can be hunted for their rare/ uncommon loot. These monsters can be dangerous due to their aggressive nature and higher level/ stats but they’re worth the experience and trouble, especially when you have allies to share exp and to fight them off with. Remember that some of these “named” mobs are elites; mobs that require several people to take it down. Forming a hunting party will make things a lot easier and you can share any loot you acquire.

The ways to make Kinah are essentially the same between the two factions in Aion, Elyos and Amodians. The

If ever you’ve been level grinding as well, and you’ve reached level 9 at any point while using this Aion guide, , ignore the other quests and prioritize the Ascension quest first. Why? Because by completing the Ascension quest, you’ll be automatically reach LV10 – regardless of how many experience you already have. Not to mention that you’ll have access to even more powerful equipment and skills. However, since you’ll need to be transported to your capital city to complete the ritual, you may need to teleport back to the previous village you came from and complete all your remaining quests. This way, you’ll be able to maximize the experience rewards for your unfinished quests.

• Location

This the prime factor you need to look into. The best place to set up shop would be places where most people converge. Obviously, you can set your shops in towns and cities, near the flight transporters, obelisks, teleporters or major streets. You can also set up shop in the entrances of major dungeons during peak hours. Remember that if there isn’t that many people in the town you’re currently in, try switching channels. Also, please note that the goods you’re selling will affect the location you should consider setting your private store. If you have a lot of crafting materials you wish to sell, you can set up shop in your city’s Temple/ Hall of Artisans. If you have some tradeable quest items, sell them near the NPCs giving those quests. If you want to sell potions, scrolls, arrows, etc, you may want to peddle your goods near the entrances of dungeons or along a path away from any major settlements.

Alchemy

Potions, scrolls, Manastones, orbs and spellbooks are created through Alchemy. Since most of the items created in alchemy are commodities (except for orbs and spellbooks), they are easy to create but they don’t sell much. Sorcerers and Spiritmasters can take advantage of this craft since they can create their main weapons through Alchemy. They also need potions to sustain their need for mana and hp recovery. Besides, since these are commodities, they are in demand, especially if you set up shop just outside major dungeons where injured characters need quick resupplying and healing without traveling back to a town or settlement. However, since these are cheap (and you may want to sell them at a lower price compared to NPC traders), don’t expect to get rich just by selling them.

The good thing about alchemy items is that the raw materials needed to create them common and can be easily found. Potions created through alchemy are oftentimes more potent than the ones you can buy from merchants. The bad thing is that the materials take up a lot of inventory space since you need multiple components to create your finished products.
