Aion: Awakened Legacy Economy Changes

The Aion: Awakened Legacy update is nearly upon us. We’ve previously discussed several item and system overhauls in our article here, and now we want to provide in-depth information on the upcoming economy changes as we make adjustments to Kinah, Luna, consumable items, and introduce a new token: Gold Ingots.


Kinah and Gold Ingots

With the upcoming economic changes in Aion: Awakened Legacy, it will be necessary to balance the existing in-game economy. To do so, some players who have amassed a lot of Kinah will automatically receive Gold Ingots, which will be converted using the following method:




Kinah in your mailbox, inventory, and broker will be converted into Gold Ingots at a rate of 30,000,000 Kinah to 1 Gold Ingot. Gold Ingots will be delivered directly to your inventory.


Any Kinah in the Legion Warehouse will be delivered to the Legion Brigade General before being converted to Gold Ingots.


Kinah in the Account Warehouse will be converted into Gold Ingot Bundles at a rate of 30,000,000 Kinah to 1 Gold Ingot Bundle, each of which contains a single Gold Ingot. Gold Ingot Bundles will be delivered to the Account Warehouse, and can be passed through the Account Warehouse at will.


The total Kinah you receive on your characters will be based on the amount of Gold Ingots converted from your original Kinah total. You will receive an average of 12,000,000 Kinah for every Gold Ingot converted. This is only calculated on Ingots earned from Kinah, not from Essence Cores or any other sources.


For the Account Warehouse, you will receive 12 bundles of 1 million Kinah for each Gold Ingot Bundle. These will be deposited into the Account Warehouse, but can only be withdrawn once.


The Kinah conversion is unique to our version of the game as each game region has different economies.


Essence Cores will be converted into Gold Ingots based on their enchantment levels as follows.


+5 Essence Core = 11 Gold Ingots


+6 Essence Core = 15 Gold Ingots


+7 Essence Core = 23 Gold Ingots


+8 Essence Core = 31 Gold Ingots


+9 Essence Core = 47 Gold Ingots


+10 Essence Core = 80 Gold Ingots


Essence Cores in the Account Warehouse are converted into an equivalent number of Gold Ingot Bundles.


In addition to being converted to Kinah, Gold Ingots can also be spent in the Gold Sands Trader shop.


Kinah will be untradeable between the Account Warehouse and with other players.



Luna


Luna will be usable in many other areas of the game. Many of these new areas were previously accessible through items purchasable with NCoin, such as Bonus Entry Scrolls for instances.


As part of this broader rebalancing of Luna, we will be matching the value of Luna to NCoin. Currently, the value is set to 10 Luna = 80 NCoin. After the update, the value will be 80 Luna = 80 NCoin.


The prices of items in the Luna Shop will be rebalanced identically, as well as the amount of Luna from Luna Bundles in order to match it to NCoin. In short, value stays exactly the same.


This applies to Luna already purchased and in players’ inventories, so players do not lose value in currency they have already purchased. The new Luna balance in players’ inventories will not be immediate -- it will be delivered 1 week after the game update as we need to collect the Luna totals for all players up until the maintenance.


Luna purchased from the Black Cloud Marketplace or claimed from the mailbox after the update will have the new amounts.



Other Item Exchanges and Conversions


Return scrolls for deleted zones will be converted into a scroll that lets you pick the destination. The conversion ratio will be 1:1.


Instance scrolls for deleted instances will be converted into a scroll that lets you pick the instance. The conversion ratio will be 1:1.


Discontinued stat scrolls will be converted into Legendary Transformation Potion Selection Boxes containing three potions of your choice. You will receive one box for 100 of the same stat scroll. The conversion ratio will be 100:1 for the following:


Greater Running Scroll (1 hour)

[Event/Static] Rx: Mojocycline


Greater Courage Scroll (1 hour)

Enduring Greater Raging Wind Scroll


Greater Awakening Scroll (1 hour)

[Prestige] Eternal Running Scroll


[Static] Major Crit Strike Scroll (1 hour)

Immortal Improved Crit Strike Increase Scroll


[Static] Major Crit Spell Scroll (1 hour)

Immortal Improved Magical Crit Strike Increase Scroll


[Event] Rx: Accelerox

[Event] Rx: Critozyne


[Event] Rx: Blitzopan

[Event] Rx: Mojocycline


[Event] Rx: Castafodin

[Event] Lucky Scroll Pouch


[Event/Static] Rx: Critozyne






If you do not see the scrolls you own listed above, those scrolls will be automatically removed from your inventory when you log in after the update launch.


Crafting Boosts and Instant experience potions (such as Secret Remedy of Growth and Jug of Liquid Experience) will be converted into a [Event] Tea of Repose – 100% Recovery. The conversion ratio will be 1:1 (you will receive one Experience Potion for every 100 Teas of Repose).


Tempering Solutions and Omega Enchantment Stones can be exchanged via an NPC in the capital cities for an Enchantment Stone bundle—with a choice of PvE or PvP.



Be prepared! These changes will be going into effect in the Aion: Awakened Legacy update arriving on October 24!
