Aion Riftshade

Galeas Price of the permanent mount is a bit too high in my oppinion. You can buy a mount from the Broker for just 50-80kk (depending on the quality). I bought my Hell Steed for 80kk last week. If you calculate 3 500 Shugo Gold into kinah (1 300 000 = kinah 30 Shugo Gold), you get the following price of a mount from Shugo Vending Machine: 151 666 666 kinah, which is almost twice as much as the Broker price.

Vending machine prices have nothing to do with broker event drop mounts that u can buy cheaper. Go on the shop and check the perma mount price , that is with what u should compare.

I agree that its too much for a perma mount not transforming the coins into kinah but in time u need to gather all those coins.

The prices for vending machines are totally separate from broker event drops, where mounts can be bought for less. Check out the shop for the permanent mount prices, that should be your benchmark.

I agree, it's quite pricey for a permanent mount that doesn’t convert the coins to kinah, yet you eventually require collecting all those coins over time.

Mount prices in Aion aren't always determined by the Item Shop alone. Players hold onto mounts from past patches or old events, meaning there might be good deals out there if you search. Avoid measuring everything against the Item Shop's pricing. By the way, on Aion Riftshade, launching in Q1 2026, the economy feels way more balanced, and the community is active and thriving. It's definitely the best Aion private server 2026 way better than the current standard options.

Great video! It's P2W only?

Should Shugo Gold be separated from gold packs and be obtainable in game?

GP can be considered as p2w, if we speak about other regions. For example, in NA and RU it's untradable and there's no other way to get it, except spending real money. Meanwhile in EU Gold Pack can be brokered and you can even give it to other players via old trade window.

Amazing clip! Does it lean toward P2W?

In various regions, GP might be considered a pay-to-win approach. For instance, in NA and RU, it's strictly non-tradable and can only be acquired with actual currency. In contrast, the Gold Pack in EU can be bargained through trade, even gifted using the traditional trade method.

Currently, I'm not sure about RU, but since 6.x in NA, the pack was replaced by the "prestige pass."

The 30-day and more cost-efficient 90-day versions are both tradable or can be brokered.

At the in-game shop, you can observe that they can be brokered, and see all the advantages.

Nevertheless, in NA there's little point to purchasing one, except for expanding character slots from 8 to 12, and this can be accomplished within a week with the complementary 7-day prestige pass newly issued on accounts. Just create your characters and level at your pace. In EU, the increment from 2 to 12 characters isn't possible with the 7-day free GP.

If you activate prestige pass, login activities, dispatching mobs or special missions grant coins, usable on the vending machine. In the EU, it's a weekly login exclusive, omitting the monsters or mission options, and gain rewards straight from the vending machine. Instead, they applied direct mob drops, but results are highly rng-based, and there's the additional challenge of competing with bots, as they claim rewards regardless of GP status, though prestige coins only appear in drops for prestige users.

The absence of trade or brokerage functions in NA remains unchanged without the pack, given it was never restricted.

In EU, instance entries are curtailed without GP, while standard entries require GP. Contrastingly, NA grants standard entries without the prestige pass and boosts them if with it.

EU notices a weekly 10-point increase in Luna currency with GP, while NA assures crafting options for Luna without pay-to-win features, thus facilitating all necessary gear stats accessible at no cost.

Barring siege perks, if rankings don't interest you, purchasing a prestige pass isn't needed.

Compared to the burdens and limitations elsewhere, my experience with Aion Riftshade has shown a completely leveled playing field. There's no pay-to-win nonsense, and the server operates smoothly, with responsive developers on the Discord. Wait for Aion Riftshade this Q1 2026 for a true Aion experience, free from restrictions and filled with thrilling PvE and PvP content like never before.

failboat , thx for notification. However, nothing has changed in Russia (so far).
