Aion is a game with so many moving parts that sometimes it can seem impossible to narrow in on any one thing that works better than the rest, especially for something like Kinah making.
But, there are some strategies that can help a character become that much better at what they are doing in many different ways.
One of those strategies is the use of Extraction Tools to take apart various items that you can get for a good deal in the Auction House.
For anyone who has played World of Warcraft, this is the same thing as Disenchanting.
The difference is that anyone can do it, if only they have the Kinah to invest in the goods for extraction.
How to Find Good Items to Extract The first step is to find items that are going to be profitable at the Trade Broker.
Most of the time, you won't find good deals at a local Private Store.
Anyone bothering to sell privately probably knows what their items are worth and if they do not, they will err on the side of overpriced.
So, you need to go to the Trade Broker where good deals can almost always be found.
Here, look for Unique and Legendary items that are clearly undervalued.
Finding a blue or orange piece for 40,000 Kinah is obviously a steal so you need to snag these kinds of deals up whenever you find them.
Creating Enchantment Stones Next, you need to start creating enchantment stones.
There is a sort of soft logic to doing this as well.
It is best to always start with a lower level piece of gear first.
The reason is that the chances of proccing a higher level enchantment stone increase if you fail on one item, by almost 80%.
So, if you were to use your extraction tools on a Level 30 blue item and get nothing good, you could then use your tools on a level 45 orange and be almost guaranteed to get a good return.
Making a Profit The key is to know the value of your enchantment stones.
If you know that certain stones are worth X amount, make sure to create a strategy in which you are always paying less than X for the items that are being extracted.
If you can create a streamlined process that ensures profit each time, this is a highly effective way to make Kinah.
