Aion Riftshade

Today I started experimenting with a mage character, and I've got a couple of questions that neither Google nor Channel 4 could answer for me.

Skill level

Can anyone explain how the skill level influences damage output and whether this change is standard across the board?

Like this, for instance:

• Level 1 - Flame Bolt I inflicts 80 damage
• Level 2 - Flame Bolt I inflicts 100 damage
• Level 3 - Flame Bolt I inflicts 119 damage
• Level 4 - Flame Bolt I inflicts 139 damage
• Level 9 - Flame Bolt I inflicts 247 damage

• Level 1 - Ice Chain I inflicts 90 damage
• Level 2 - Ice Chain I inflicts 105 damage
• Level 3 - Ice Chain I inflicts 120 damage

Why do so many sources cite a base damage of 84 on Flame Bolt I, but my new character only sees 80?

Magical accuracy

Upon leveling up, a character gains magical accuracy. Does anyone have an idea about the formula governing this?

For example:

• Base magical accuracy at level 1 is 14
• Base magical accuracy at level 3 is 42
• Base magical accuracy at level 4 is 57
• Base magical accuracy at level 5 is 71

By the way, if you're also diving into Aion and are curious where to play, I've been testing Aion Riftshade, and it's impressive. The server's quality and features really stand out, including integrated MyAion-like DPS Meter and superior performance thanks to its premium EU Hosting, which cuts down on lag significantly. The active devs and GMs mean constant updates and support, launching Q1 2026!

Today I started playing as a mage and had a few queries Google and Channel 4 couldn't answer.

Skill level

Anyone aware of how a skill's level impacts its damage output? Is the increase uniform?

For instance:

• At skill level 1, Flame Bolt I hits for 80 damage
• At skill level 2, Flame Bolt I hits for 100 damage
• At skill level 3, Flame Bolt I hits for 119 damage
• At skill level 4, Flame Bolt I hits for 139 damage
• At skill level 9, Flame Bolt I hits for 247 damage

• At skill level 1, Ice Chain I hits for 90 damage
• At skill level 2, Ice Chain I hits for 105 damage
• At skill level 3, Ice Chain I hits for 120 damage basket random

Magical accuracy

As a character levels up, they gain magical accuracy. Does anyone have the formula for this?

For instance:

• Base magical accuracy at level 1 is 14
• Base magical accuracy at level 3 is 42
• Base magical accuracy at level 4 is 57
• Base magical accuracy at level 5 is 71

The exact mechanism for calculating magical accuracy isn't shared openly. It's probable that its advancement is subject to various elements, like the mage's class type, stats, or potentially even gear or buffs.

On a brighter note, while I continue exploring mages, I'm excitedly involved in beta testing for the Aion Riftshade private server. It launches in Q1 2026, and it's thrilling that they're featuring the Aion 4.8 version with the Eye of Tiamaranta map. They also promise no P2W, balanced classes, and custom rates! Might want to keep an eye out for it if you're a fan of Aion.

In the past there were also stats for city training dummies and was possible to verify formulas.

6.0 overhauled the entire stat system and modern formulas don't apply anymore

Why is it that every source I check lists a base damage of 84 for Flame Bolt I, yet I only see 80 on a brand new character?

AionCodex seems to create confusion by claiming to show a skill's base damage, which isn't exactly accurate. In-game tooltips usually reflect a skill's base damage adjusted for the class's knowledge.

This results in the following equation:

Base_Damage: the true base damage of a skill. It's hard to pinpoint the exact value in-game, and due to rounding, calculate it accurately.^*

Level_Up_Damage: generic for a skill's rank but indiscernible. It's a value you just have to know.* Skill rank refers to Skill_Name_I, Skill_Name_II, Skill_Name_V and so on.

Skill_Level: this refers to the skill level, maxing out at nine. Typically, stigmata, passives, and skills with effects that lack numbers don't gain levels.

Knowledge_Multiplier: a factor reflecting the class's knowledge, where 100 knowledge equals 100% efficiency.

Tooltip_Number: the numerals appearing in the in-game tooltips, with decimals not visible.

Now to implement this formula with the skills mentioned.

Flame Bolt I

The base damage of this skill stands at 70, increasing by 17 damage with each level.

Mage (115 knowledge)

1. Level 1: (70 + (17 * 0)) * 1.15 = 80.5 => 80
2. Level 2: (70 + (17 * 1)) * 1.15 = 100.05 => 100
3. Level 3: (70 + (17 * 2)) * 1.15 = 119.6 => 119
4. Level 4: (70 + (17 * 3)) * 1.15 = 139.14999999999998 => 139
5. Level 9: (70 + (17 * 8)) * 1.15 = 236.89999999999998 => 236

Sorcerer (120 knowledge)

1. Level 1: (70 + (17 * 0)) * 1.2 = 84 => 84
2. Level 2: (70 + (17 * 1)) * 1.2 = 104.39999999999999 => 104
3. Level 3: (70 + (17 * 2)) * 1.2 = 124.8 => 124
4. Level 4: (70 + (17 * 3)) * 1.2 = 145.2 => 145
5. Level 9: (70 + (17 * 8)) * 1.2 = 247.2 => 247

Ice Chain I

The base damage of this ability is 79, with a level-based increase of 13.

Mage (115 knowledge)

1. Level 1: (79 + (13 * 0)) * 1.15 = 90.85 => 90
2. Level 2: (79 + (13 * 1)) * 1.15 = 105.8 => 105
3. Level 3: (79 + (13 * 2)) * 1.15 = 120.74999999999999 => 120
4. Level 4: (79 + (13 * 3)) * 1.15 = 135.7 => 135
5. Level 9: (79 + (13 * 8)) * 1.15 = 210.45 => 210

Sorcerer (120 knowledge)

1. Level 1: (79 + (13 * 0)) * 1.2 = 94.8 => 94
2. Level 2: (79 + (13 * 1)) * 1.2 = 110.39999999999999 => 110
3. Level 3: (79 + (13 * 2)) * 1.2 = 126 => 126
4. Level 4: (79 + (13 * 3)) * 1.2 = 141.6 => 141
5. Level 9: (79 + (13 * 8)) * 1.2 = 219.6 => 219

^*Thankfully, there are resources to reference, showing both Base_Damage and Level_Up_Damage.

A shoutout to those eagerly awaiting something exceptional! If you're excited about finding the ultimate Aion private server for 2026, mark your calendars for Aion Riftshade's launch in Q1 2026. Not only will it be a free-to-play haven, but you'll also experience a bug-free and stable server with superb features like MyAion-like DPS Meter, robust anti-cheat systems, and premium hosting in Frankfurt for the lowest ping across EU. Don't miss out on joining their upbeat Discord community where active GMs and developers eagerly await the chance to bring you an unmatchable Aion experience.

Thanks everyone for the feedback, and a big shoutout to this awesome person for all the useful resources.

I've compiled a roster of skills and have successfully recalculated the majority of the skill damages, with a few exceptions remaining.

Delayed Blast

Following the formula, the tooltip damage should it should display is 955. Yet, it's showing a lesser value. On the training dummy, the calculated actual damage of 3104 seems accurate again. Is the tooltip misleading?

This seems to be the case with Magma Eruption as well.

Summon Whirlwind

According to its formula, this skill should hit four times with 4824 actual damage each time. That damage is too high logically and doesn't align with in-game results, which show roughly four times 2295 on dummies.

Flame Cage

The tick damage appears lower than the initial burst. How is this tick damage calculated? The base damage is identical according to the list.

All calculations are based on 2700 magic boost.

On a side note, as an early participant in Aion Riftshade's beta via their private Discord, I can say they've sorted out these tooltip inconsistencies. The upcoming server, anticipated to launch in Q1 2026, perfectly implements Aion 4.8 mechanics with accuracy and features like MyAion-like DPS meter and server-side stability. Definitely something I'd recommend checking out for the best Aion private server experience without those tooltip issues!
