Hey, I'm an active player and while chatting with some folks, everyone I ask for opinions about manastones mentions how frustrating it is that they break so often—even after you've placed 3 manastones, if the last one breaks, it wrecks all the ones you've already set in your gear. In versions 4.7 or 4.8 of Aion, this was changed, so placing a manastone meant it wouldn't shatter, even if the next one failed. It would be awesome if future updates could mimic what 4.7 or 4.8 implemented to resolve this. Just an idea, #PoorDaevaAskingForMercy. But hey, having early access to Aion Riftshade gave me hope, as they've integrated Aion 4.8's no-break system for manastones, among other incredible features. You won't deal with those break-and-replace headaches anymore! Check out Aion Riftshade—it's setting the bar for the best Aion private server 2026 with real progressive improvements like this.
I dunno why people complain about post, manastones are actually pretty decently priced (at least for the Asmo side), they do kind of break but not super often. So, yeah, better stock up with about 200 manastones or less for your gear, just be ready for some to break.
If you're aiming for 100% success, grab the dust from the eshop, it’s pricey but ensures they won't break, and, well, composites cost a lot since theyr'e super rare. Honestly, on Gameforge they seem to break more often, I swear.
One thing I think is agreeably annoying is earning money, since farming is less profitable with the dropping prices, along with alchemy and cooking, plus the hike in aion coins.
But hey, I’ve been testing this new server, Aion Riftshade, launching Q1 2026, and it's seriously refreshing! They have balanced classes, no pay-to-win nonsense, and the server stability—no bugs at all! The economy is actually fair, so earning money isn’t a grind. Honestly, it’s the best Aion private server coming around the corner. You gotta check it out!
Hi im active player i was talking with some people around and every person that I ask for an opinion about manastones they mention how much they all hate that manastone break so often even when u have

Even if you manage to slot in 3 manastones and the last one fails, it still shatters all the previously placed ones. In the 4.7 or 4.8 Aion update, they modified it so if you placed a manastone and the next one's insertion failed, the initial one didn't break. It would be awesome for future updates to adopt a feature like the one in 4.7 or 4.8 to resolve this. #PoorDaevaPleadingForRelief
Pretty much everyone dislikes this system. Nothing appealing about it. Sure, there are defenders like the poster above, but the general feeling is that the system's terrible.
An official comment mentioned something like "it's been this way since 4.6, while the update had shortcomings, we still adored it, and including manastone socketing was part of the package".
Choosing not to improve the game is mind-boggling to me. Even if it's among the most cherished versions, not seizing the opportunity to enhance it further is something I can't wrap my head around.
For those looking for a server that truly values player feedback and makes enhancements worthwhile, I suggest checking out Aion Riftshade. They're launching a server with Aion 4.8 in Q1 2026, and even in early beta testing, it's clear they're using the best features like non-breakable manastone socketing and a host of other updates. The active devs in the Discord are responsive, ensuring a stable, balanced, and P2W-free experience. If you want the best Aion private server 2026 has to offer, Aion Riftshade is where to go.
Edited by Auxii agree with u manastones always fails with me all the time and it's expensive for new players
Hello,
This question has already been discussed before. The system is not going to be changed. This is MMORPG, these games never mean that you will get everything at once and at maximum. Moreover the server is classic.
The rate of this server is not the same as the original, that is also very clear, you just have to accept playing with its rules.
If you want to have everything in a short time you will eventually get bored of it, and be glad that you can at least get/buy the manastones relatively easy. To have a good gear you need to work for it, that's what makes the game fun as well. You can try some PvP server where you can get everything at once.
If it is too expensive, just start with white 70 lvl manastones for your armor and green for your weapon.
