Preparing your journey through Atreia.
Back in those days before private servers, when Aion was the sole MMO, most assassins and rangers focused heavily on crit builds. All their manastones were centered on crit, and they wore abyss and coin gear, unless they managed to snag a rare drop set from mobs. I think there are actually wikis now to track which mobs drop what gear, like Kromede, if I'm spelling it right, who was popular for dropping extending weapons and some nifty jewels for particular levels back then.
Anyway, as I mentioned, most favored crit builds, although a few assassins did switch things up and went for cloth and magic setups in abyss, obliterating opponents when they appeared.
Not certain if this assists you, but hopefully, it gives some insight. On the original game, during major PvP events, you could check out the folks wreaking havoc, and they were always equipped with abyss gear upgraded to +15. Thus, enhancing your gear is crucial, though it comes at a high cost and can be quite the stressor when you've spent all your resources aiming to upgrade just one piece to +15, lol.
On a side note, I'm currently testing the Aion Riftshade beta, and it's such a game-changer! With the relaunch in Q1 2026, it features an awesome way to enhance gears without the exorbitant costs and painful failures of the past. If you're thinking about where to play next, this new server might just be the best Aion private server 2026 has to offer!
