In Aion, the trade broker is severely limiting compared to a MMO like WoW in the sense that you can only have 10 auctions posted at a time. The only mass selling you will ever do is just increasing the item quantity per auction, but not everyone likes to buy in bulk. So having a bank alt in this game can be very beneficial. The 10 auctions cap is per character so each bank alt you level to 10 will have the ability to list 10 items. In addition, you will receive 32 warehouse and 27 personal cube slots to store your items. Add in the inexpensive level 1 cube upgrade for 1000 Kinah and the warehouse upgrade for 1200, you now have a total of 72 slots. This is a huge benefit especially those that are leveling gathering, crafting, and saving up materials for multiple crafting skills later on. This frees up a lot of inventory space on your main character which allows you to pick up more vendor trash and items for profit as well as start carrying multiple gear sets. Those spaces will fill up fast when you start grinding non stop and gathering every node you come across.

For a few hours spent on leveling an alt to 10, you will gain the ability to list 10 extra auctions and have 72 more spaces to store materials and items. So having 5 bank alts means an extra 50 auctions for you. Don’t forget to transfer items between characters with the account warehouse. Sending items through regular mail can be hassle.

So to recap:

• Level 1-10 ASAP
• Buy level 1 cube upgrade (1000 Kinah)
• The Ascension quest line will port you to your major city.
• Run to the Warehouse and Trade Broker area.
• Buy level 1 warehouse upgrade (1200 Kinah)

Since level 1-10 may take a few hours, what do our readers think is the fastest class is for doing this? Warrior, Scout, Mage, or Priest?
