Aura Kingdom: A noob's review

The Situation

As the Church in the great city of Navea provides moral order, the Church's Templars provide temporal order. When monsters, bandits, or weirder things threaten civilization, the Templars send knights to deal with it. The greatest of the Templars was Reinhardt, the Templar commander. For twenty years, he fought and bled to drive back those who threatened the peace.

When Reinhardt stepped back from command to marry Suna, the love of his life, the people celebrated. They had admired Reinhardt as a warrior, and saw his happiness as the just reward for a life of service. So, when Suna fell ill with a mysterious, deadly disease, the people mourned. Reinhardt once more donned his armor, questing farther and farther into the world to find a cure. He returned empty-handed and heartbroken, and has since disappeared.

Suna's illness and Reinhardt's disappearance seem to have been omens, announcing a dark time for the realm. Pirates and bandits threaten the villages, emboldened by the hero's absence. Hostile creatures disrupt the farms and stalk the forests. Rumors of monsters and evil ghosts and worse things are heard from the edges of civilization. Now a black-armored Knight has appeared, with death and demons following wherever he travels.

~Aura Kingdom Wikia

This is the new MMORPG from the creators of Eden Eternal under Aeria Games
Am I playing this game? YES!
That's me right there

Here are the things I have notice (not a game addict so please don't hate me if I said something weird for you)

You start by choosing your first class, your options
Guardian     Gunslinger
Grenadier     Wizard
Sorcerer       Ravager
 Duelist         Bard

I chose a Gunslinger, the range type of player. Back to the game play.

I'm not sure if it's just because it new but it seems too easy to level up, after a few days (3 or 4 I think) of playing I'm already at level 40. However, each player is accompanied by an Eidolon at the start and you will have three of them once you hit level 40 and you have the responsibility of leveling them up, with experience crystals that you get from linking the Eidolon to Gaia or from monster dropped items.

As for the quest, I think it’s to text heavy and is done in a conversation manner, so that takes time if you want to read it all. In game you will see yellow speech bubbles, go near it and the people will start talking to each other after the conversation you will gain loyalty points, you can use at the item mall.

On fortifying weapons and armors, in other games, you can have one item level up in a one is to one ratio and if it fails you will lose that item, in Aura Kingdom, if the fortification fail, it will increase the points for the next level, once you reach a hundred points a +1 will be added

A game is always better if you have friends playing the same game!
