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?

I cannot comment on which is fastest, but since the game is so new, this would be an excellent opportunity to test out other classes. Who knows, you bank alt may become your main.
I liked the Scout for leveling 1-10 so far. You have stealth through lots of areas.
Mage is my preference on 1-10, you really only have to do the campaign quests, they can grind so fast and don’t really have to move much at all, 2-shotting nearly any mob till level 6 or so.
Oh, and 2 billion Kinnah already AE? Seriously?
@ Ewber – Ya the Mage is pretty fast 1-10, you just have to rest and regen mana every once in a while. Since there are no level limits on mana potions, you could send some good ones to your alt if you really wanted to.
@ Zerohour – No I do not have that much, that is just a screenshot from the Aion Wiki haha.
Ok, phew. I was thinking you were spending all your time at the broker and grinding!
@ Zerohour – No not really, with the cap of 10 auctions, I have become more selective on what I sell on the TB. It makes things much more simplier. In general, you can sell pretty much anything you loot, espcially at the higher levels.
