As an MMO, Aion 2 may have most players focused on dungeon runs and combat, but Life Skills are just as important. Just like in FFXIV, focusing on gathering and crafting can allow you to earn millions of Kinah. This is not difficult to do as long as you have enough time. Of course, when trading on the market, there are a few things you need to pay attention to if you want to get better returns. Here are the things you should know before and after gathering. Why Choose Gathering? Gathering gemstones takes some time, but when you check the market, you will find that the returns can be very high. It is recommended to keep the eyes on the market values of Sapphire, Ruby, and Diamond. These are materials used to craft various accessories and are highly demanded consumables. Pure gemstones can often be worth millions of Aion 2 Kinah, while even ordinary Ruby or Diamond can sell for thousands of Kinah. Their demand fluctuates depending on the number of players online. However, keep in mind that every server has a different market because each server has its own independent economy. The reason for their high demand is that if players want to level their crafting all the way to Professional 20, the most economical approach is usually to repeatedly craft lower-tier items. One of the main goals of crafting is to create Legendary accessories as early as possible. Compared with making weapons first, Legendary accessories can fill multiple equipment slots more quickly, making them a better priority during the early game. Weapons are still important, but they can be handled later. Gathering Skill Tree Gathering is not as simple as walking up to a node and interacting with it because it has its own skill Tree. If you want to gather gemstones, you should unlock Gem Seeker, Plentiful Harvest, and Gem Appraiser. You need to raise these skills to Professional and obtain additional points to fully invest in them. You can also allocate points toward options such as Proficient Hand, Lady, and Delicate Touch. However, one of the biggest benefits is that once you obtain your first point early in your gathering progression, you can see all gatherable items on the mini map and even filter them. Gathering Map First, it is recommended to find an Interactive Map. Select Hide All, then scroll down to Gatherables and select gemstones. These are the areas you need to visit. On the mini map, you will see small icons representing gathering nodes, allowing you to determine whether there are gatherable materials nearby. Walk up to a node, interact with it, gather the material, and wait for the result. Success and failure are determined randomly. Each node can be gathered three times, and a durability bar similar to a health bar will appear at the top. You will also gain XP while gathering. Professional Gathering Once you reach Gathering Level 50 as a beginner, check the regional quests. There should be a quest that tells you how to advance to Professional. The quest requires you to gather a certain type of gemstone, which the author remembers being Sapphire. After completing it, you can advance to the next rank. Afterward, you can continue searching for nodes around the map and gather other materials as well. For example, Odial can also be obtained from completing dungeons, and it has high demand for crafting, so it may be quite valuable. While gathering, you also have a chance to obtain Legendary Materials, which are worth much more than Gray items. You can also obtain Blue and Green items. There are plenty of opportunities to earn Kinah here, while these materials can also contribute to your own gear progression and help you work toward the best possible equipment. AFK Gathering If you remain AFK while gathering these nodes for an extended period, a CAPTCHA verification prompt may appear. If you fail to complete the verification, your account could be seriously affected. Therefore, do not risk leaving your character gathering AFK for long periods. Market Tips Materials often become more valuable when more players are online. If you log in early in the morning when fewer players are online, you may see gemstones accumulating on the market, with some less patient players listing them at lower values. By the evening, when more players are online, those gemstones listed by impatient sellers may be quickly cleared out. Listing your gemstones at this time can therefore bring better returns. After opening the market, if you want to list an item, enter the listing interface and double-click the item. Adjust the quantity, enter the unit value with your keyboard, and you will then see the total value for that quantity. Listing an item requires a small Registration Fee, and a 10% Tax is also charged after the transaction is completed. Converting Kinah into Quna If you have a large amount of Kinah and want Quna, you can make use of Kinah Chests. You can craft these chests through Substance Morph and then list them on the market to obtain Quna. Quna is a Premium Currency that can be used in the shop. It is also used to unlock Planet’s Call, which allows you to obtain more Odyle Energy. Gathering does not consume energy, so aside from the time it takes, your income from dungeons, expeditions, and other activities will not be affected. Training your gathering level is still worthwhile. Even if you do not have much time to spend gathering every day, you can gather the materials you need yourself whenever you want to craft something, which can save you a large amount of Kinah.

If you are just starting out in WoW Forever, you might often feel a bit overwhelmed. You need to track quests, learn skills, manage your inventory, check dungeon loot, and memorize numerous locations. The good news is that World of WarCraft addons can help you handle these hassles. Of course, you don't need to install a massive number of addons; just a few practical ones can save you a lot of unnecessary trouble while preserving the authentic feel of the game. Here are 10 of the best addons for WoW Forever beginners, covering everything from class training, quests, maps, and bags to loot, navigation, and Auction House. What's Training? Leatrix Plus Leatrix Maps Baganator AtlasLoot Classic Forever TomTom + Paste Auctionator  Quest Master MoveAny Forever Cooldown Manager However, before you get started, a quick reminder: when installing addons for World of Warcraft: Forever, make sure to select Forever version in your addon manager rather than automatically installing Classic or Retail versions. WoW Forever uses independent addon files, and compatibility can vary between versions. 1. What's Training? - Know What Skills You Can Learn What's Training? is one of the most useful addons for WoW Classic+ beginners because it solves a simple yet annoying problem: knowing exactly which skills are available to learn from your class trainer. Once installed, your spellbook will display skills that become available at future levels. This allows you to preview upcoming skills without having to constantly run back to the class trainer to check. Furthermore, the addon includes weapon training information, showing you which weapon skills you can learn and the locations of the corresponding trainers. This is incredibly helpful whether you are a beginner starting your WoW Forever adventure or leveling an alt, as you won't have to struggle to remember which cities or trainers offer specific weapon skills. 2. Leatrix Plus - Optimize Your Gameplay Experience If you only want to install one comprehensive addon to improve your gameplay experience, Leatrix Plus is an excellent choice. Instead of adding just one major feature, this addon offers a suite of small, customizable improvements that make your daily gameplay much smoother. One of its most practical features is quest automation. You can configure it to automatically accept and turn in quests, thereby reducing the repetitive clicking required during the leveling process. It also assists with tasks such as automatically selling junk items, repairing gear, handling specific NPC interactions, clearing unnecessary interface notifications, and more. The addon is highly customizable, allowing you to enable only the features you actually need. This makes Leatrix Plus particularly suitable for new players who want a more convenient interface but do not wish to completely replace the native WoW Classic Plus UI. 3. Leatrix Maps - Making the World Map More Useful The default WoW world map can sometimes leave new players unsure of where to go next. Leatrix Maps enhances the map by including more practical information. One of its most useful features is displaying unexplored areas and providing details such as zone level ranges, boat locations, dungeon entrances, and other map data, giving you a clearer understanding of your surroundings. If you are considering traveling to a different zone, you can quickly check its recommended level range and other useful information without having to travel there blindly. For new players, this makes planning the leveling journey much easier. 4. Baganator - Easier Inventory Management Managing items can become a hassle when your bags are stuffed with quest items, consumables, gear, crafting materials, and various pieces of loot. Baganator addon keeps your bag layout neat and organized. You can choose from various layouts, including a single-bag view and categorized inventory slots. Items are sorted into categories such as consumables, quest items, gear, and other useful groups. The addon offers extensive customization options, allowing you to adjust the bag layout, sorting, appearance, item display style, and character inventory information. A particularly handy feature is the ability to view the inventory and bank contents of other characters after logging into them and recording their data. This means you can quickly check if another character already owns a specific item without having to constantly switch between characters. 5. AtlasLoot Classic Forever - View Dungeon and Raid Loot Have you ever wondered which specific weapon or piece of gear a particular boss drops? AtlasLoot Classic Forever allows you to browse dungeon and raid loot tables directly within the game. There is no need to search online every time you want to check loot details; simply open the addon to view the available loot lists. Of course, AtlasLoot Classic Forever offers more than just dungeon and raid loot information; it also provides details on crafting, factions, PvP, item sets, world events, and other collectible items. This addon is especially useful when you want to quickly make WoW Forever gold or prepare for an upcoming dungeon adventure. 6. TomTom + Paste - Never Get Lost Again For players who frequently consult guides or receive coordinates from others, TomTom is one of the most practical navigation addons available. It displays your current coordinates in WoW Classic+ and allows you to create waypoints. If someone shares a location via coordinates, you can use the "/way" command to set a waypoint. The addon then marks the destination on your map and displays an arrow pointing in that direction. You can freely reposition the waypoint arrow on your screen or remove waypoints when they are no longer needed. If you need to input multiple coordinates at once, you can pair the Paste addon with TomTom. Paste will automatically create multiple corresponding waypoints on the map. This is especially handy when following resource-gathering guides or routes that involve multiple locations. 7. Auctionator - Know Item Prices For newcomers, Auction House in WoW Forever can be confusing—especially when you aren't sure whether to sell an item, keep it, or vendor it to an NPC. Auctionator addon simplifies this process significantly. After scanning Auction House data, it provides useful price references for the items in your inventory. This means that when you obtain an unfamiliar item while questing, you can quickly check its approximate Auction House value instead of guessing blindly. It is a good habit to scan Auction House regularly, as market prices fluctuate. It works especially well when combined with inventory addons like Baganator; this allows you to manage your bags while simultaneously viewing item values. 8. Quest Master - Find Your Next Quest Getting stuck because you don't know where to go next is one of the most common issues new players face. Quest Master aims to simplify quest navigation. The addon provides waypoints to guide you to quest locations and displays quest-related information directly on the map. One of its most useful features is the ability to show quests you haven't discovered yet on the world map. This is incredibly helpful when a quest chain seems to have hit a dead end and you aren't sure where to pick up the next quest. 9. MoveAny - Customize Your UI Not everyone likes the default placement of windows in WoW Classic Plus. MoveAny gives you full control over the game interface. You can freely move various on-screen elements—such as bags, the map, profession windows, the spellbook, menus, and other interface frames—and even resize certain windows by clicking and dragging. This addon is highly practical if you use a small monitor, prefer a specific layout, or simply want to position important windows closer to the center of the screen. MoveAny isn't about adding new information; it's about arranging the existing interface exactly how you want it. 10. Forever Cooldown Manager - Master Your Ability Timing Forever Cooldown Manager addon lets you track important spells and buffs directly on your screen. You can customize their position and size using Edit Mode, making it easier to monitor the status of key abilities during combat. For many players, not having to manually track basic cooldowns means better execution of ability rotations and the ability to reach their full potential. The best WoW Forever addons aren't necessarily those that completely overhaul gameplay. For beginners, the most valuable addons are often those that eliminate minor annoyances during daily play. Try starting with a few addons that suit your needs, get familiar with their features, and then gradually refine your addon setup. This keeps WoW Forever easy to pick up while preventing the interface from becoming cluttered with unnecessary information.
