Aion Consumables Introduciton DateTime:8/18/2010 5:52:58 PM
Consumable items are used to do a variety of things. Some add buffs to improve your weapon attacks, while others heal you or recover mana. There are also items needed for specific skills--Odella Powder, for example. Some items can revive you on the battlefield, such as kisks or resurrection stones. There are also various items that can be used to upgrade your weapons. These items are used in different ways in enhancing items permanently to improve your attributes. Most of these items can be found while adventuring through Atreia and looting enemy NPCs. However, you will also find a lot of of these items on sale in General Stores, Potion Stores, and Contribution vendors. This allows you to stock up on them in the inevitable long venture into enemy territories.
Trade brokers are NPCs that are located in every major quest hub and basically give you access to the auction market. You can register up to ten items, for a duration of eight days, that other players are then able to buy from a trade broker - not necessarily the same one you used to register the auction, since all trade brokers of one faction are linked to each other. One big advantage of the auction house is that you can quickly look up items and compare prices, so even if you have no knowledge of the market yet, you can look up an item you wish to sell to get an idea of what it is worth. There are several item categories that are always good sellers, and you will encounter low tier items of these categories early on in the game: gatherable materials, manastones, refining stones and of course magical weapons and armor (green quality and above).
