Aion 2.1.0.5 update tweaks crafting difficulty

by Jef Reahard on Jan 21st 2011 9:00AM

Part two of the Aion 2.1 update is on the way to servers across Atreia, and the dev team has posted the official 2.1.0.5 patch notes to the game's website. The build debuted on the public test servers yesterday and is scheduled to take a bow on the live servers next Wednesday, January 26th.

The second half of the 2.1 patch focuses on Aion's crafting, and many new recipes are included in the mix. NCsoft has also upped the drop rates for many crafting materials (including desirable Balaur components like hearts and balic items). Your chances of snagging a "greater" version of the resources farmed from harvesting nodes have also been increased, and many crafting quests will see reduced difficulty (including the wince-inducing expert crafting quests as well as the Miragent Holy Templar and Fenris Fangs quests).

The 2.1.0.5 patch also brings a number of tweaks to instances, NPCs, and items, and you can see the full list of updates via the official website.

Much needed changes implemented about 1 year to late. I ragequit that game several times, most of them due to failing yet another Miragent HHOM craft. The other times due to insanely unbalanced pvp combat.

Easily the most frustrating gaming experience of my life (Not counting L2 since it's casual unfriendliness was so clear from the get-go that I got out real quick) . Surprised to see anyone is still playing it.

GL TERA with the stigma that is "a Korean grinder". Wont be easy to convince anyone in the west after this one.
