Getting your first kinah in Aion Online

To get started on the path of wealth generation, you need to prime the pump.. with kinah! Just like a water pump is primed with water. If you don't have a friend that can give you a small loan of kinah, then it's time to begin gaining kinah by doing some of the following.
1. Kill creatures for kinah 2. Kill creatures which provide materials and essences (which can be traded for kinah) 3. Do quests (which have kinah rewards, and involve killing creatures, which in turn drop more kinah, and items which can be traded for kinah.)
Killing creatures is a boring way of doing kinah, but it does have the benefit of providing experience. Although you will be able to quickly gain kinah later in the game without any killing or questing, you might want to stick to the methods of killing and questing because they provide kinah AND experience. (What good is it to be kinah rich and power poor?)
