As a experienced Aion player (who kept stucked in Aion level 9 for over a week), I am very sure that my experience in Aion would be much helpful to many new Aion players.

What is Manastone?

Manastones are a cheap and easy way to add a little extra umph to your equipment, but keep in mind that while you can remove a manastone to free up a slot, you won’t get that manastone back. +4s are fairly plentiful early, but save your +12s for green and blue items you’ll be hanging onto for a while. You’ll start seeing two-socket items around level 10.
