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.

Group up, and be stonger Aion player

Both starting areas have an end dungeon where players tend to converge. You’re all after the same thing, so why not try a group on for size? It’s as simple as a right click on another player and then clicking “invite,” and you’ll get through the dungeon content with far less risk.

Power shards are sort of like ammo for all weapon types (mage spellbooks included) and proc occasionally for increased stats. Like manastones, they’re fairly common drops and cheap to buy, so keep a fresh stack attached to your weapon.
