Goals

To have everything on this list highlighted today. It’s been far too long that I’ve had a completed prep list. Why? Lazy. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Aion 5.0 - Preparation List

This post is meant to help, although I can imagine the aftermath of soaring prices soon after and I apologize for that in advance.

1. Ancient Coins

This is probably the #1 most valuable item seeing as how it’s heavily depended on for purchasing the new stash of morphing recipes, as well as the soul-bound reversal item. It may also serve as a material for certain recipes.

Depending on what you want, you may not need to hoard a lot of ancient coins. The individual recipes don’t go beyond 80+ cost, although I know of a Korean friend on NA who probably has horded a truckload of ancient coins by now.

2. Ancient Coin Equipment

For players who currently own the set, yes they will be outclassed in 5.0 but I hope you haven’t tossed them for scrap yet. In order to upgrade into mythic versions, you will still require the eternal versions as materials.

3. Plastic Surgery Ticket

For obvious reasons, this item is on par with ancient coins for demand. Also, NCsoft will not be giving out free plastic surgery tickets, so don’t expect one to just fall into your lap.

4. Tea of Repose

These items are reasonably priced and low in demand on the broker (at the time of this post). But expect them to disappear or soar in price because leveling will be everything in 5.0. You won’t be able to attain 100% Energy of Repose once you hit level 66 and higher*, so you will have to rely on these, especially if your region doesn’t intend to release leveling boost events.

I’m also half-expecting the paid EXP buffs to remain Korea exclusive.

*Repose is stackable with the new Growth buff high daevas get, if you needed that extra oomph in EXP gain

5. Tempering Solution

Like most items, these will be rabid in price and demand come 5.0, mainly due to plume changes. You will also need 10 tempering solutions to upgrade the +10 normal plume into an enhanced plume.

6. Enchantment Stones (Alpha/Beta/Gamma/Delta/Epsilon)

All enchantment stones (save for omega stones) will be retired indefinitely as of 5.0. They will still be usable, similar to the phased out LX enchantment stones, however their sources will be halted.

The game will however, allow you to convert the old enchantment stones into the upgrade stone powders, which can be refined into the new standard upgrade stones when you amass 1000 of them.

7. Extra Copies of Level 65 PVE Equipment

Most end game level 65 PVE equipment (namely wings) can be upgraded into enhanced versions. So it doesn’t hurt to keep extra copies lying around, especially if you intend to enchant them.

(eg. Beritra’s Phantom Wings)

They will become high daeva tier items when you upgrade them, and like all high daeva items, the item will be destroyed upon enchant failure.

8. Purified Essence

Not that these items will see massive usage in 5.0, but expect them to be scarce because players most likely will not burn EXP to convert them.

9. Fire Temple

At first glance, it’s odd that this instance will show up in this list, however with very good reasons. As of the current patch, it may be your most efficient method of hording fabled weapon drops to be converted into upgrade stone powders at 5.0 launch.

Of course, you will need an alt to ensure that Kromede drops the weapons.

P.S - attached image is just for placeholder purposes.

When you leave a prep list but your restaurant is out of half the stuff...

My typical morning prep list when I'm morning manager (what we call window). When I first show up to work at nine, I spend about twenty obsessive minutes going through all the reach-ins, freezers, dry storage, and the walk-in. I write this list out for myself, along with an 86 list for the front of house, and, if it's Monday or Thursday, an order of dry and frozen goods from our five major vendors, and hope that I've checked everything adequately. I also hope that the manager from last night got their orders of fresh produce and seafood right - those I'll check later in the morning as they come in, fresh Yellowfin tuna and king salmon in one delivery, Washington clams and Japanese sea urchin in another, Big Island lobsters and Hawaiian snapper usually showing up annoyingly late in the day, and the produce coming all at once, a huge order most days, ten minutes to check it against the invoice and the order sheet, and sometimes nearly an hour for the pantry guys to get it all cleaned, contained, labeled, and into the walk-in. Each one of the five other morning guys has a prep list too, but it's a laminated sheet, organized by item and days of the week, and filled out by the guy who worked that station the previous night. I take a look at those every morning too, but mostly I try to let people take care of their own stations. The prep sheets and the ordering are all a system of trust in your fellow cooks, but you should always do a double check with your own eyes, because, as my chef has become fond of telling me lately, "Trust No One." (But that's a post for another day)

I have surgery tomorrow at 10am (PST), and I think I'm well prepared for everything. Here's a list of what I have done so far, with the help of my wonderfully supportive wife Ashley of course.

-Moved things I might need below shoulder height so I can reach them.

-Cleaned entire house, blankets, bathrooms, floors etc.

-Going to sterilize my Xbox One controller, cell phone and computer before I go to bed. 

-Have a zip up hoodie I plan to live in for the next week or so.

-Bought 2 kinds of laxatives.

-Picking up all of my medications for surgery this afternoon. I need to take an anti-nausea and antibiotic between 7 and 10 pm tonight.

-Avoiding salty foods as much as I can.

-Bought lots of Gatorade and protein rich fruit smoothies to help with hydration/healing.

-Gave my dog a bath, even though I won't be able to cuddle her for a while. :(

-Lots and lots of movies and video games to keep me busy.

-Got my outfit for tomorrow ready, and have my chest scrub and wipes for the morning.

-Lots of clean towels so I have some to use specifically for my chest area.

-Bought lots of hand soap.

-Got rid of fabric towels to dry hands after washing them, and replaced that with paper towels. 

- I think that's everything. I hope?

If anyone has any other tips or suggestions please let me know, I would greatly appreciate it.
