5 Tips 4 Better Healing

An open letter to all new clerics - includes hints and tips for better healing!


Dear friend,

Welcome to the order. Here are some advices to help you get started.

1. Each of your (healing) skills mentions how much it heals.
Just hover your cursor over the skill's icon. For example "Radiant Cure I" says "heals a target by 925 hp".
This "925hp" mentioned is the base and minimum result.

2. Your healing is affected by your level.
In levels 10, 25, 40, 49 you (automatically) get a passive skill called "Boost Healing" which increases the base result. Thus you heal more than the base result, ie what the skill description mentions.

3. You heal better when you fly.
You heal 10% more hp when you fly. This is because of another passive skill called "Winged Recovery".

4. Your healing is not affected by your character stats, nor your magic boost.
No matter how high or low your base character stats (e.g. knowledge) are, they do not affect your healing. Thus stacking magic boost manastones will only help in damage dealing, not healing. The only number that does affect your healing is "healing boost" (not a base stat).

5. Your healing is affected by your healing boost.
Healing Boost (HB) is an attribute found in chain armour. The more HB you have, the better you heal. Some skills can temporarily augment your HB. Details:

• For every 10 HB, heals increase by 1% of the base result. This means 1000 HB doubles the base healing amount.
• Excellent HB FAQ by Kaden.
• So far (4/2011) there are no manastones to increase HB and no cap has been reached.

Lots of studying is also required!

Tip to stay in Silentera

You have rushed into Silentera (place) before the sieges start, thus making sure you will be able to access Beshmundir Temple (instance). However you want to go to dredgion too.. but that means you will end up, after dredgion, to your home town.

Problem: If you do go to dredgion, you might loose your Besh run.

Solution: Kill your Aion client when viewing dredgion results. This will return you to your original location.

Explanation: It seems that you are transfered to town after pressing the "OK" button in dredgion results. By killing the client, you avoid that step. You still get your AP, but when you relog, the game only remembers the last place you were - in this case Silentera - and re-locates you there.

 I am not sure it was a good idea revealing this bug. 

Now my friends will go even more often to dredgion. Darn!

Retrieved Halo

Believe it or not, my halo (= golden Besh cleric hairpin, with a halo skin) is back!

Yesterday, when selling the drops from a quick lower udas run, I discovered my halo re-instantiated in my inventory. Quickly I put it on, and added a lot of glue, so I will never never loose it again.

I would like to thank the kind gods who listened to my prayer and put it back in my inventory. 

Lost Halo

Oh, my halo is no more. Lost, lost for ever! I am devastated.

It was a lovely golden beshmundir cleric hairpin.

For the time being, I wear an older Jotun Hat. But I need to go back to Flare again and again, until my hat drops again. If it ever does. Usually flare gives us blue belts - I doubt that he will be nice enough to offer me a second chance to my hat. So disappointed by ..me!

Rusted Halo

OMG my brand new halo got rusted in just few days after I started wearing it.

Cleaned it, but now my corroded accessory has a funny bluish colour. Not bad though.

And yes, you can dye your halo.

And yes, I re-dyed armour and shield to match.
