Premium Kinah Guide – A critical Review of killerguides Kinah Guide
Please note that each killer guide is different. A spectacular pvp guide from killerguide from WoW doesn’t guarantee the same “awesomeness” in an aion levelling guide or vice versa. This is because of the fact that Killerguides hires different writers for their guides, and it so happens that some writers are better than the rest. This is why we decided to tackle each guide of Killer guides separately, on a one to one basis. This is also the reason why , inspite of not liking their levelling guide, we reviewed this guide afresh without any bias. We, at aionguideslist.com, have a copy of the kinah guide and we read it and used it before we wrote a review, which will be evident as you read the guide. Ok, now since that is cleared…on to the review…
Kinah, or money makes the aion world go round, I am sure you wont disagree on that front. Be it leveling or PvE or PvP or any other aspect of the game, you will find kinah inextricably weaved into the game experience. And much like how money is a cause for a lot of worries in life, kinah is also a source of lot of worry ingame. Keeping this in mind, Killer guides has come out with a Kinah Guide. The guide is not filled with get-rich-quick schemes, it does have some tips here and there to make a quick buck, but this guide on the whole , is to be used as exactly that, a guide, a source of reference when you want to make some Kinah. Dont expect to become a millionaire as soon as you get the guide. This is a guide that builds your base for future kinah growth and gives you all the necessary all round information about kinah in aion and it’s affecting factors.
The Basics
The guide starts from the basics, so you don’t feel lost if you are new and at the same time, we would advise our seasoned pros to also give the entire guide a read, you just might learn something new.
The guide starts out by listing all the possible ways of making kinah (crafting, enchantments, quests etc) along with other basic elements of the game that affect your kinah, for instance the influence ratio is an indicator of the faction balance in the server and in turn also indicates the prices being offered for selling your items, higher the influence ratio of our faction, the higher our prices and lower our taxes.

Crafting , Item Enhancements and Private stores
We then move onto each money making option in detail, we start off with Crafting and the various professions namely, Alchemy, Armorsmithing, Cooking, Handcrafting, Tailoring and Weaponsmithing.The guide is pretty specific with it’s instructions, for example it lists out the exact kinah amounts you should carry before you talk to the craft expert of your choice. It also lists the positions of the various craft expert NPCs.
P.S. A useful mini-tip from aionguideslist.com, that enhances this guide and the game, incase you already didn’t know it . Use the command /pathfinding to mark a npc on your map. For Example, /pathfinding Denma will mark a purple cross on the map where the NPC Denma is to be present. This works even if you haven’t explored the map completely. This is especially useful when you have to meet an npc for the first time and you don’t have the npc on your quest window.
The guide goes on to explain the crafting process in detail, How to initiate work orders, What you should and shouldn’t do while gathering and the actual crafting process. It gives figures for success rates you can expect based on the difference between your skill level and receipe level. We then get an review of the various professions. The guide gives an overview of enchantments and the basic mechanics and numbers behind it.
The Private store section of the guide talks about the technical aspects of setting up shop and also generic tips common to setting shop in most mmos like locations, pricing, what sort of goods to put up , the store message etc.

Kinah Related Quests
Okay, now we come to the part of the guide that works off the payment we make. The following part of the guide is a highly detailed quest guide for Asmodians and Elyos separately which is further classified for different level groups(and their respective maps). Under each level group he lists out the quests that are to be completed, keeping in mind both the kinah and exp, he details how to complete the quests and talks about the drops that are to be collected. He goes on to tell which drops are to be sold at the broker and which ones we are to save for future crafts. He also explains which mobs will give good drops(kinah-wise) and which are the ones to give a miss. He emphasizes on the monsters/ mini-bosses appropriate for your level that will drop considerable drops like equips or high kinah items. He lists out repeatable quests that will yield best results. For example, the gigantic box npc at Idun’s lake is one of the best NPC’s to target especially for it’s treasure hunter weapon, each one sells for 22450 kinah(auto – price) and a lot higher if you sell it to players. This is by far the most detailed aspect of the guide with a massive number of quests being handled in this section.

Quick Kinah Opportunities
The guide does list out a few quick earning tips classified as “Kinah Farming Oppurtunities” or “Kinah Earning Oppurtunities” (marked in orange in the guide as well). These usually refer to particular trick that will earn you some quick kinah, for example , one of the “Kinah earning oppurtunities” involves selling return scrolls at a specific location which is a really long walk back with loads of hostiles on the way. Thus you get to make some good profits on these items. We made quite some kinah using this on the nezekian server . But it wont be long before that bubble bursts.:) There are a few such quick-kinah tips in the guide(but not too many)”. Aionguideslist.com has mailed the author to include more of these in the upcoming updates.

Work Orders
The guide then moves on to a very comprehensive list of work orders detailing quest, level and expected rewards for various professions. And then another comprehensive table listing of various item enhancements , materials required and their AP bonus among other things. This makes for a very handy guidebook of sorts when it comes to item enhancement activities.
Currently, this is a kinah making guide upto lvl20 , it is a very detailed guide with almost 150 pages for just upto level 20. As I’ve said before the guide does not contain too many get rich quick tricks(it has a some though), but it lays the foundation for all your kinah knowledge needs , it will act as a comprehensive kinah related handbook . And moreoever , With an assurance from the author of a full version kinah guide coming out soon, I have faith that this guide will eventually become a comprehensive source for kinah growth in game. I have mailed the author to include more “Kinah earning opportunities” tips in the updates of this guide, love the ones present in this guide. If you intend to buy it at a later stage, I would advise you to buy the guide now itself and get the free updates as it comes out, rather than risk waiting for the update to buy when the guide rate may get hiked.
