Crafting within Aion goes well beyond what can be found in a typical MMORPG; both in the aspects

of gathering and crafting. That being the case, it would take a book to explain it all at once.

For this article, I’ll go over the methods of gathering materials and how the related skill

ranks work. First, a basic understanding of how skill ranks function.

There are two gathering skills in Aion. Players begin the game with just the general gathering

skill ranked 1 of 99. Upon completion of the ascension quest, the player receives the aerial

gathering skill. This allows the player to gather any node with a required skill rank of 1, while

the maximum achievable rank before obtaining further training is 99. When a skill reaches maximum

rank players may purchase additional training in the skill. This system applies to both gathering

and crafting. So then lets answer that nagging question, how does a player rank-up skills?

The simplest answer is to level a skill by using it, though there is a little more to it. The

most basic aspect to understand, is how general gathering from resource nodes works. Whenever a

node is activated the player receives a pop-up box that displays the current skill rank, the item

received upon success, and two bars representing success or failure.
