Step leveling guides

One of the earliest sites for Aion online, run by two experienced MMO players (Krinadon and Faiona), also has some of the best guides available. This doesn’t really come as much of a surprise to us because we know that the writers are hardcore gamers themselves, and therefore end up knowing pretty much all there is to know about 99% of all the games they pick up.
Right now they offer step by step leveling guides for both factions, and more guides are being worked on as we speak (for example, a Named monster guide and a detailed gathering guide). But for now we’ll take a closer look at the ones that are available.
The leveling guides take you through every step you need to take to get from 1-50 as fast as possible. This is done by showing you which quests to do, in what order, and which ones to avoid to save time.
Another great perk are the color coded maps they provide, giving the locations of all important places you need to go. You can have a look for yourself what the guides look like by downloading their FREE 1-10 guide right here.
You don’t have to buy a guide from 1-50 if all you need is a bit of help from level 30. They provide 4 different packages depending on where you are in the game.
FTWGuides <- This site also has a 1-50 Leveling guide for both the Elyos and Asmodian factions, but judging from the sample video on their site the layout might not hold the same quality as Kozen or KFGuides. Another difference is that Kozen and KFGuides come in PDF format, while FTWGuides is a member site.
For easier reading, and the ability to download the guides to your hard-drive and print it out, I’d still go with Kozen or KFGuides for now. But by all means, check out their sample video and make your choice after that.
Killer Guides * <- Still the only site providing Class specific guides for Aion as far as I know, but the quality of their work is sadly a bit flawed right now. They purposely make it out like they have some incredible secrets that only they know about. The truth though is that the information in their guides can be found elsewhere as well, for free.
* Note for Killerguides: They have been known to utilize false marketing tactics, such as saying that a product is available for sale even though it hasn’t been released yet. So feel free to send them an email, letting them know how you feel about their false marketing tactics. You will however get free life-time updates whenever you buy from them, so you can always grab the latest, most complete copy.
