How To Complete Quests Easier
Quests are the key element of the game. Without completing them, you re going nowhere. Here are some tips for completing quests easier.

For starters, if you ve got the bucks, spring for the Collector s Edition of the game. It comes with some bonus items that will make completing quests a whole lot easier. Yes, some of the items you won t be able to use until after level 9, but once you can, you will see what a HUGE difference they make.
If you don t want to go that route, there are other things you can do.
Probably one of the most important, and something players don t take advantage of enough, is Work Orders. Work Orders, unlike quests, can be done over and over. Why would you want to do this? Because completing Work Orders gives you more experience and helps level you quicker. This in turn makes it easier to complete quests because your character is stronger. Don t ignore Work Orders.
Another thing you will probably want to do is get the official Aion Quest Guide. Yeah, I know...another way for these guys to make a buck. But trust me. As a long time gamer (going back to the original D& D on floppy disk) quest guides are almost a must.
The reason is because there are so many and the in game info for the quests is almost nil. Truth is, you can waste valuable time just trying to figure quests out. With the guide, you know what quest you need, where it is and what you have to do to finish it...quickly. It s worth the few bucks to have this advantage.
Finally, and this is so important, don t allow yourself to be distracted. Take one quest at a time and finish it before moving onto the next one. If, however, you find that you are having trouble completing a quest, go back and do a Work Order. This will give you more XP and hopefully get you up another level. There are some quests that you re simply not going to be able to complete with weak characters.
HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST WEAPON
Weapons are tricky at the higher levels. When you first begin, you are given a starter weapon for whatever character you have chosen to play. You then use it for a few levels before you are given a choice of what weapon to choose next.
This is where things get tricky. Yes, the weapon you choose WILL make a BIG difference.
When you reach level 10, you complete a quest which gives you the choice of 3 weapons. The weapons, however, are based on your starter class and not the class that you have just become. It is CRTICAL to know which weapon is right for your new class because the game does a lousy job of explaining it.
Let s start with the Warrior.
You get a sword at level 1. As you level, you get access to a shield. If you don t have luck in finding one, buy one.
Once you hit level 10, you become either a Templar or a Gladiator. If a Templar, choose either the sword or the great sword. If a Gladiator, take the polearm. Trust me on this.
Let s move on to the Scout
Scout s start with a dagger. As you get access to a sword...use it. The Scout is the most vulnerable at lower levels because let s face it, with a dagger, you really have to get up close to do damage.
Scouts can become Assassins or Rangers. Unfortunately, there are no new weapons options for Assassins, so keep this in mind when choosing. Rangers are a complete shift in action as they can now attack with ranged weapons. Take the bow option from the quest reward. This is your best move.
