Aion - Level 35 Assassin Farming Gold Weapons
This is a extremely quick 2 minute boss run and of course, the duration will depend on your skill execution and DPS.
This is also a realistic execution plan. If you look at the DPS of the 2 assassins in the video, they are achievable.
As for drop chance, you have a chance to get the gold drops but everything depends on your luck. I am not certain about the drop rate but with this speed, you can probably have your weapons pretty quick.
There is a 30 minute lock out after you finish an instance. Use this time to gather some aether nearby. Lots of aether in this place.
The other thing is: the gold weapons bind on roll. Just NPC anything you can’t use. NPC buy them for a million kinahs. That’s alot, isn’t it?
You need to be at least level 34 for this but recommend that you be at least 37 (42 max or the boss won’t drop anything)
Preparation:
Buy some Abyss HP Pots with AP and some large HP Pots
Buy some movement speed buff scrolls or +critical attack food if you want. Optional
Group up with 1 or 2 other assassins. Go with someone with pretty similar DPS to reverse aggro easily.
Meet up and enter Fire temple (asmos) or Kyola temple (elyos). You need the finish a quest to enter this instance.
In instance:
Turn on Bloodlust I (speed buff).
Turn on Hide II
Glide until you reach a mob-free spot
Wait for Hide II CD to finish.
Consume Mana pot to replenish Mana
Turn on Hide II
Proceed towards the boss’s hideout.
Kill 1 mob near boss.
Lure boss to spot using bow.
Assassin A aggro and splash DPS at Boss
Assassin A prepare to use Abyss Pot and HP Pot. This will allow you to tank a few hits.
Assassin B go to back of boss, stun, buff, backstab, surprise attack, dp skill.
Assassin B will reverse the aggro if done right.
Assassin B prepare to pot. (Kromedes gives crazy damage)
Now the aggro in on B after all that crazy damage.
Assassin A go to back of boss, buff backstab surprise attack, dp skill, repeat what player B did.
If there is a Assassin C, this will be faster but you have 1 more person to split the loot.
If you got a golden staff/orb/spellbook/mace/spear, sorry you can’t trade them.. They bind on roll! But good news is that you can NPC them for 1 million kinah. That’s quite a bit of money.
Now, there is a 30 minute lock down on re-entering the dungeon.
You can go gather some aether nearby. Lots of aether in this place.
Or you can set up store and sell some stuff outside the dungeon.
This process takes about 2 mins plus
Great spot for grinding 35-39 in Aion
To Power level you'll need a higher level friend, Cleric/Templar/Chanter work best.
Get them to train a bunch of mobs and get lots of hate and then you pick them off one by one. The only benefit is that there is no down time for resting HP and you can kill the mobs much faster because they're all right in front of you.
Thats not how it was last night, I was recieving 80-85% of regular. The method works.
Great spot for grinding 35-39
Not sure about Elyos but Asmodians have Wrathfull Obscuras, and Gloomy Specters I think there called they look like reapers.
They drop fast don't do lots of damage and give 25k a mob and since there aggro mobs bots don't usually bot there.
You can find them in Beluslan pretty much straight under the Right outpost.

Aion Asmodian Leveling Guide 40+ Best Place Revealed!
Once you reach level 40 you'll notice the time it takes you to level is dramatically increased. Usually you will need to spend 18 hours or more of play time per level from here on out. It can become quite annoying and also frustrating to level up. I've re-modified the below section a bit to give you anywhere from 2 to 10 different locations you can hunt per level 40 - 50. If you get bored at one you can just switch to the other one.
Kurin, Rynoce and Tayga Level 40
Right outside of Red Mane Cavern you will find one of the best places to go from 40 to 41. If you enjoy Gathering while leveling, you'll find quite a few goodies here for you to gather like Orichalcum Ore, Asvata Wood, Anathe Fiber, Ruby Ore and also Vigen. Aside from those goodies, the mobs here are spread out just enough so you can easily kill them all 1 by 1. You'll rarely ever get an add.
Also this place is right near town so if Elyos arrive you can make a run for it or if you have to unload your goodies a vendor is nearby. This place is also great for any class it shouldn't give anyone much difficulty and if you're gathering in between kills then you'll have plenty of time to rest up/wait for Herb Treatment Cooldown.
Asmodian Leveling Guide Level 40 Golems
The Golems are a another good place for you to level from 40 to 41. There are about 20 Golems in the area and a few Frost Agrints. This area isn't densely populated with mobs to kill but they are spread out enough to where if you run into one another will not patrol into you. If you like to gather you can also find quite a few Pressa in the area.
This area isn't the best area for you to level up, but it is a good alternative if you get bored of other places. Other places that are nearby are the Ghosts which are a tad north and Anair Icelake which is northwest.
Asmodian Leveling Guide - Ghosts level 40
The Ghosts northeast of Anair Harbor are a pretty good place to grind at level 40. These ghosts are quite squishy and I'd recommend them to any class that doesn't have buffs. There is a Mage type of Ghost here that uses Dispell Blessing. This can get quite annoying as a Chanter since they take away all of my buffs.
I can see a Gladiator or Assassin type class eating this area alive. The ghosts here don't have much defense and low HP. You should be able to drop them pretty quickly without much downtime in between fights. Also if you have gathering at a decent level you will be able to gather the Moonstone here (280 skill) and Orichalcum (300 skill).
For the ghosts there is also a repeatable quest you are able to accept in Besfer Refugee Camp at level 40. This quest is called "[Coin] Ghosts of Anair Harbor". It requires you to kill 12 Spiritsoldiers, 8 Spiritmages and 11 Spiritarchers.
Fang Troll Encampment - 40
The Trolls are one of the best places for you to level from 40 to 41. The camp is pretty small and usually not trafficked too much. The small trolls here are very squishy, the bigger ones are a bit more tough but nothing you can't handle. The trolls also drop roughly 190-250 kinah each kill, which is a nice added bonus to their other loot.
Also if you've kept your gathering around your level you can gather Vigen here (335 skill), Ruby Ore (315 skill) and also Avasta Log (340 skill). Another upside is this place is right next to the Kurin, Tayga and Rynoce area. If you get bored you can always run across the road and grind here.
Asmodian Leveling Guide - Anair Icelake 40
Anair Icelake is just above Besfer Refugee Camp. This is one of the most common botting areas for players. This could possibly make this place hellish for you to level, so, depending on the population of your server and amount of bots will determine if this place is worth it. There are many more then 3 mobs here for you to kill, most of them also con "easy" to you, meaning they have 2 green dots.
The mobs here are a mixture of level 39 and 40. If you just started on my guide, then you'd like to know that the Ice Lake Crasaur's drop an Abandoned Ring that starts a quest. If you followed my leveling path up to now you'd of already done this quest. If you get bored of this area you can always head east to the Ghosts or Southeast to the Golems.
Mist Mane Village (Group Quests & Grind)
Mist Mane Village is a village filled with Elite Mau. You will need a group in order to level here, but it is pretty darn good XP and also there are quite a few quests for you to do here. You can get all of the quests from Silver Mane Village, it is just east of Mist Mane Village.
The quests for Mist Mane Village all require a group and quite a bit of grinding here. There is one quest you actually need to pick up inside, but it can be shared. That quest is Taisan's Request. Below are the quests you can do for Mist Mane Village.
Asmodian Leveling Guide (39) Mobs
The Daru and Crookhorn Gorgons are a great alternative for players that ar level 40. These mobs are "green dotted" mobs, this means they are much easier to kill then your regular mob. Also all of these mobs are Neutral, meaning they will not attack you unless you attack them first.
Two more good things about this area is it is very close to town so that you can easily unload your loot or if you die, you can easily get back here. Also, there are no Rifts that are nearby, or close enough to make it worth it for Elyos to come over here. Chances are when you're over here you will rarely be ganked.
Besfer Refugee Camp Quests - Level 40
When you hit level 40 there will be two quests for you in Besfer Refugee Camp. These two quests are "Crisis of Reyrinirerk" and "A Procession of the Dead". The first quest you will want to do is "Crisis of Reyrinirerk". Head north of Besfer Refugee Camp to Anair Icelake. Here you will want to kill Ice Ribbits, Ice Lake Spirits and Ice Lake Crasaurs for Ice Crystals.
Easiest creatures to grind for these are the Ice Lake Crasaurs and Ice Spirits. They can be found just north of Besfer Refugee Camp. Take a look at where I am on the map for the exact location. The Red is where the Ice Lake Spirits can be found and the Blue is where you can find the Crasaurs.
Asmodian Leveling Guide - Spriggs 40+
The Spriggs are a very unknown camping spot, what I mean is, not many people know about these guys. They are close to town and are pretty easy for you to kill. The only downside of this camp is that one of the Sprigg types will call for help when he gets low on health, as seen in the video. This can make this camp quite annoying but it is a nice alternative if everything else gets boring. Especially because you haven't killed Spriggs since Morheim!
Also if you're leveling Extraction, or at least keeping it your level you will find a ton of Anathe down in this valley. Anathe is the final stage of Fiber used in the Tailoring Profession, making this a pretty profitable area if you have Extract Vitality. Also the Spriggs in this area drop Kinah which is another plus.
Asmodian Leveling Guide - Mamut Graveyard
Mamut Graveyard is a good alternative spot for levels 41-42. Over here you will find Mammoth's as well as Spirit Mammoths, depending on what time of day it is. At night Spirit Mammoths will come out and during the day you will find living Mammoths, as seen above. This is a good spot for two reasons, 1 its not that crowded and 2 it changes from day to night making it less boring.
There is one downside to this place and that is the elite that roames around at night. If you get too close to this elite he will chase you down until you're dead and trust me, you will die. This elite is no joke, luckily if you stay at my blue circle on the map you won't run into him. The downside of this is there are a few quests to be done over here which means this area can become over crowded. Also people know this is a "safe" area.
Kurin, Rynoce and Tayga Level 40
Right outside of Red Mane Cavern you will find one of the best places to go from 40 to 41. If you enjoy Gathering while leveling, you'll find quite a few goodies here for you to gather like Orichalcum Ore, Asvata Wood, Anathe Fiber, Ruby Ore and also Vigen.

Aion Tips For Fast Leveling
An Aion leveling guide was my solution to get ahead my guildmates with my XP when we moved to this game. Of course, since we all started fresh and the goal was to reach the end game as fast as possible, and the one to get to the level cap first was to get a prize. We didn't know what the prize was, but a level 50 character would be the prize itself, so all of us were focusing on leveling.
Luckily for me, I found this Aion leveling guide, which gave me quite an XP boost. Therefore, to help everyone in need of fast XP, here are a few leveling tips I've learned from this guide:
1. Just like other MMORPGs, you get much more XP by doing quests. I know this might sound obvious, but it's an aspect that has to be cleared because many players like to kill endless hordes of mobs to level up, which is wrong (at least for this game).
2. The quests need to be grouped and completed at least 2-3 at the time otherwise you will lose time.
3. There are useful and important quests and quests that aren't worth the bother. The Aion leveling guide I've been using shows exactly which quests to skip.
4. If the class you're playing has AoE spells and abilities, use them at maximum. Killing 2-3 mobs at one time brings more XP than if you kill just one.
5. It's also important to know which spec is better to choose for your toon, especially for solo leveling. If you don't know the right spec for your class, a guide will surely tell you that.
I hope these tips helped you at least a little in your conquest for levels within the fantasy universe of Atreia.
Warning! Do not neglect the above. These tips will really help you to improve your gameplay!
However, to see the whole big picture and to get out the most of your leveling, just using these tips is not enough. You need to add a professional guidance of an Aion Leveling Guide.
To help you choose a guide that really works, I strongly recommend you to read this Aion Leveling Guide Review.

Aion Leveling Asmodian Fast
Original: Brooklynn@Source
Summary:
This guide is intended to help out players new to Aion and give them a bit of a head-start in the leveling process. Being an Asian MMO, this game operates on somewhat different principles than what some people are used to with more western titles. I would describe this guide as "general use" rather than heavy on details. Rather, it provides you with flashpoint information for each level and things to look out for as you are exploring the world. I won't hold your hand through every quest, but I will give you a general roadmap to make your life easier from 1-20 (after 20 you're on your own!!).
Much of this is from my own experiences, but a bit was influenced by "For your psychological health: How to avoid ragequit and burnout" a very good general game guide by enfo.
Image credits are all mine except for the directional diagram, which I am unsure of the source. If anyone knows it please PM me.
This guide was created based upon Chinese Aion v1.2. Please note that the NA/EU live version will be on v1.5 and may contain some discrepancies with this guide.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.0 - General Leveling Tips:
- Gather everything you see. The exp is not negligible and you need to be able to gather for both crafting and certain quests
- Do not train mobs! Once you get into areas that have mobs that aggro, kill your way through the mobs rather than training/stealthing through. Characters in this game level primarily through kills and you are cheating yourself on exp by skipping these mobs. In some games (like WoW) it's actually faster to skip mobs that you don't "need" for a quest, but in this game it is not faster leveling to do that. You will also miss out on item/crafting drops if you skip lots of mobs.
- Learn about and use the directional model of fighting. Never stand still, in any fight, at any time (but be careful not to aggro nearby things).
- Keep Odella powder handy once you ascend. It saves you a lot of downtime to be able to mana/herb treatment out in the field. This can be bought from General Goods merchants in Pandaemonium and lvl 10+ area hubs.
- Non-elite mobs are serious business. That's right, this isn't like WoW where you can kill normal mobs from the comfort of your toilet. You can't auto-attack any monsters down in this game, and pulling extra mobs can be a real problem. Don't be afraid to use consumables if a fight gets hairy; dying kinda sucks in Aion so avoid it if you can.
- Change channels if there are too many people around. From level 1-20 you can change instances of the zone you are in, which is quite handy for avoiding that nyerkbag sorc who keeps stealing your kills. Just go to Menu > Support > Change Channel
- Create a special "PVP Alert" chatbox and have it display only "Combat Info - Third Party" and check all "Enemy" boxes. This chat box will alert you to the activities of nearby enemy player characters, often before you can see them on your screen. Since the chat boxes disappear when not in use, I put mine right smack in the middle of the screen so I really notice it when something happens.
- If you can afford it, buy skill manuals for later levels and carry them with you. Having the manuals on you when you level is nice, as it cuts down on travel time going back to a trainer.
- If you have to go afk, set up a personal store. The broker can get expensive, but Aion allows you to sell your items at a personal store, which you can set up any where at any time. You can't play your character when you do this, so the best time to do it when you have to afk. The way to open the store can be found in the menu. Even at low levels you can unload some of your crap for cash, especially around release when everyone is a lowbie.
- Learn to glide. This sounds simple enough, but gliding isn't just hitting spacebar at the top of a hill and floating to the bottom. If you push the left, right, and back keys as you are gliding, you can "catch the breeze" and increase your glide time by a huge amount. You can also pitch forward to increase speed. Try hitting the buttons at different times to see how much distance you can get.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 - UI/Interface:
- You can tell how difficult a mob is by looking at its portrait. The number of dots showing in the circle tells you approximately how hard a mob is. An elite mob's portrait is larger and more ornamented.
- You can also tell how difficult a mob is based on the color of the name floating over their head. White mobs are easy, yellow mobs are normal, orange mobs are hard, and Red mobs you'd better stay away from.
- You can get an overlay of the zone map by pushing "N"
- Auto attack can turn off sometimes. Make sure you bind a key to it.
- The quest interface is very robust, and you are able to find out more information about certain parts of quests by clicking on the blue underlined text. You can also "locate" items for quests by pushing the locate button at the bottom of the popup window.
- Your minimap is a radar. It will show all mobs, npcs, and players in your nearby viscinity. White dots are neutral mobs, red dots are agressive mobs and enemy players, and blue dots are friendlies. If you click on a mob, a yellow circle will appear around its dot, showing you the aggro radius of the selected mob.
- Quest givers will have several different types of icons above their heads:
A blue single arrow is a standard quest offer. A double blue arrow is a standard quest turnin, usually part of a chain. The last part of the chain will typically be a blue starburst. Gold arrows and starbursts refer to campaign quests. Double sideways arrows refer to quests that require you to make a choice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 - Level 1-10
Here you start out on a normal human on your journey to becoming an immortal daeva. In the beginning, nothing will aggro on you unless you attack it, and the quests are all pretty linear. You should be gathering Angelica whenever you see it, as there is a quest to turn it in.
Try to pick up every quest you see, and make sure to do all of the campaign quests. Also, there is a "cube artisan" in the first village who will expand your backpack for a fee. As soon as you can afford it, you should do this. He also has a quest to do.
Hang on to any green items you can't use to sell on the AH once you get to a broker (First time you do is in Pandaemonium at lvl 10). Especially in a new game, these greens bring a good price.
Most of the quests are pretty straightforward: kill x of y, find q on the ground and bring it to me, etc. If you've played any MMO in the last 5 years you should have no trouble with the beginning areas. The mobs are a bit harder than some western MMOs, but for the beginning levels they are non-agressive and won't aggro on you until you attack them.
A couple of things to look out for: the kangaroo mobs that the old lady asks you to kill can randomly drop a quest to have you pull an axe out of a tree. The axe is very big and facing a small pond. This is a choice quest, and the correct choice is to keep saying "no that isn't my axe" until the guy gets to the iron axe. The reward for this is some xp and three axes you can sell to the vendor for Kinah. Also, another random drop quest happens in the graveyard; the vengeful ghosts can drop a silver necklace that starts a quest to pick up bones for the ghost npc that paths around the graveyard.
You should also consider completing the quest line that has you get a log book off of lefarist revolutionaries, as completing this quest line gives you the "Treasure Hunter" title.
The two most difficult areas from 1-10 are the graveyard and the mumu village. The graveyard is only difficult if you pull more than one ghost, or accidentally get the "cursed kerubim" guy. The mumu village has some tougher mobs, that are closer together, so you need to be a bit careful here. Also, it is best to leave the mumu farmers alone, as they are social mobs who will call for help or summon things, and they are really annoying. You don't need them for anything, as the mumu sentries drop the same thing as they do and aren't annoying. Also watch out for aggro from the watchtower sentries. If you hear the 'dinner bell' go off and you can't find what aggroed you, it might be a guy up on a tower.
When you hit level 9, it's time to ascend. Don't bother doing anything else, as you will get your entire xp bar filled up once you finish the ascention. The moment you hit 9 the quest box will pop up and tell you to go talk to Murin. You've been to him before, he's in the graveyard. After that, run back to Anturoon crossing and fly to adelle village, pick up the card from Urd, run down to the old lady in the woods, and then use "return" to go back to Anturoon for the last card. This is the fastest way to get this fedex quest done. Once you get all three cards, run back up to Murin and start the ascention. After that it will send you to Pandaemonium to get a weapon reward, level up to 10, and get your new skills.
Once you've done your ascention and chosen a class, it's a good idea to go BACK to ishalgen and finish up the quests you have left there. This is because this game doesn't have a dearth of quests and it is best to do as much as possible. Also, you get a nice title for completing the campaign here. It is possible to get through most of level 10 by doing this, and it gives you a nice headstart on Altgard. The campaign quest here concludes by sending you into a Mau cave to kill a boss mau and click on some colored pillars. The first two are on the ground floor and the third is up the ramp where the boss mob is. The title you get for doing this is "Raider Hero" and it is very good.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.2 - Level 11-13
Now that you have your raider title, it's time to teleport to Altgard. You also have the option of doing some of the quests in Pandaemonium, if you haven't already. The quests are decent money, but not so decent xp. Worth doing to see the city and get some of the story, though. There is also a choice quest from the daeva of music, where if you choose money you get money as a reward, and if you choose power, you unlock another quest line (not sure if it does anything else). This questline will eventually lead you into the arena in Pandaemonium, which is a place where other players of the same faction can kill you. Its a good idea to run up into the balcony before going in to see if anyone is camping the arena. It's a very quick quest but it can get you killed if you run into a nyerkbag.
Once you get to Altgard, this is a good time to check out the broker, the warehouse, and play around with your new wings. Also, hit up the General Goods merchant and buy a good amount of Odella powder.
There are a lot of quests here, and most of them are to kill monsters in the immediate area outside of the fortress. There will also be a quest to fly up into the sky and talk to a daeva up on a rock. This quest is part of a short chain at the beginning of the zone, and the guy on the rock can be a bit tough to find. He's standing on one of the "arms" of the big floating rock. This quest is meant to teach you how to use your wings.
This is also the first area where you can gather aether powder from the "small vortexes" floating around the fortress. It is a good idea to collect these if you are interested in crafting, as this skill can be a pain to level, and the powder you get is used in various useful recipies.
One quest line will take you underground into the Altgard dungeons. The entrance for these dungeons is in the northern part of the fortress, in a tunnel against the fortress wall.
In the forest beyond Altgard, you will find both campaign stuff and general quests. It is a good idea to do the kill x of y quests first as the Mumu farmland is a bit difficult. It will send you back in here several times, sometimes for more than one quest, so be ready to visit the Mumus a lot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.3 - Level 13-16
Once you reach level 13, you should be ready to move on to Basfelt Village. You will want to have your gathering skill at 55 by this point or you won't be able to gather some of the stuff here.
If you are a class that has a tough time killing two mobs at once, you may have trouble with the mosbear cub/mother duo. However, if you kill the mother, the cub will run away, allowing you to heal up and kill it afterwards.
An easy quest at the beginning is to kill 3 mosbears in 10 minutes. You can go just west of the village and kill starved mossbears to get this done fast. After that you will get another quest to get 10 mosbear tusks in 30 min. I did this as a cleric in 15 minutes. It unlocks a sort of ****** title and gives you a very nice hat as a reward. The whole chain also gives about 6 bars of xp. If you wait until level 15 to do this quest, you can combine it with Geifon's quest to kill starved mosbears.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4 - Level 16-17
Around 16 and 17 there will be a myriad of quests to do in the mosbear habitat, both acquired from Basfelt village and the habitat itself. Make sure to complete the chain to kill Komu Silverclaw, as you get the title "Legendary Hunter" which provides +6 parry and 2% speed (run speed).
It's at this time that you should also head over to Gribade Canyon and do the quests in this area. The first few are lower level but the rest of them are for lvl 17+. Finally, the "thing" you need to find for Germir is in a small box by the waterfall. Its important to do this quest, as it gives a ton of xp, a ring, and a title. When you get to the escort part, make sure to stay near the shugo as he will despawn if you get too far away. This escort can only be done at night. (type /time to find out what the in-game time is)
Also note that around level 16 you will begin to encounter gathering items that require a skill of 75 to pick.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.5 - Level 17-18
Once you're all done with Basfelt and the canyon you can choose to either do the Trader outpost quests or the eastern Altgard quests. Both are for the same level set. Most of eastern Altgard leads up to the Black Claw Outpost, which is a village full of elite Mau and requires a group. The canyon quests lead to the Impestium, which is pretty cool and you can fly in this area. The aether vortexes in this zone require a skill of 50 to gather. There is also a repeatable quest here to kill a bunch of monsters and get an iron coin as a reward. Four coins gets you a nice green, but it is random, and it takes a while to do the quest. Also, this quest doesn't grant all that much xp. It's up to you if you want to grind for the weapons, but really I only see this quest being worthwhile if you can't get a group for the elite areas and you're out of other quests. Watch out on the AH though, as people will sell these items. They are called "Asmodian Rank 9 _____". This is also a way to make money yourself if you want to.
For eastern Altgard, the swamp is just PACKED with mobs, so you'll have to kill your way through here each time you need to go to the quest hub. Bring 10 zucchini with you for a quest, as well as 10 Horto for the followup, and try to get everything done all at once because it is a big pain to come through the swamp more than you have to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.6 - Black Claw Outpost Level 18-20
This is the elite village of the zone and it has quite a few quests to do. This is best done with a full and balanced group, as the NPCs hit very hard and have a ton of life. You also have to treat pulls very carefully as aggro can be an issue here. The mobs are worth a great deal of xp, have some interesting abilities (though the fights are primarily tank and spank, so only your healer will really notice this) and there are good gear drops here. While you can solo/grind out your levels from 18-20, this area makes it much MUCH easier if you can find a group.
Summary:
This guide is intended to help out players new to Aion and give them a bit of a head-start in the leveling process. Being an Asian MMO, this game operates on somewhat different principles than what some people are used to with more western titles. I would describe this guide as "general use" rather than heavy on details. Rather, it provides you with flashpoint information for each level and things to look out for as you are exploring the world. I won't hold your hand through every quest, but I will give you a general roadmap to make your life easier from 1-20 (after 20 you're on your own!!).
Much of this is from my own experiences, but a bit was influenced by "For your psychological health: How to avoid ragequit and burnout" a very good general game guide by enfo.
Image credits are all mine except for the directional diagram, which I am unsure of the source. If anyone knows it please PM me.
This guide was created based upon Chinese Aion v1.2. Please note that the NA/EU live version will be on v1.5 and may contain some discrepancies with this guide.

1.0 - General Leveling Tips:
- Gather everything you see. The exp is not negligible and you need to be able to gather for both crafting and certain quests
- Do not train mobs! Once you get into areas that have mobs that aggro, kill your way through the mobs rather than training/stealthing through. Characters in this game level primarily through kills and you are cheating yourself on exp by skipping these mobs. In some games (like WoW) it's actually faster to skip mobs that you don't "need" for a quest, but in this game it is not faster leveling to do that. You will also miss out on item/crafting drops if you skip lots of mobs.
- Learn about and use the directional model of fighting. Never stand still, in any fight, at any time (but be careful not to aggro nearby things).
- Keep Odella powder handy once you ascend. It saves you a lot of downtime to be able to mana/herb treatment out in the field. This can be bought from General Goods merchants in Pandaemonium and lvl 10+ area hubs.
- Non-elite mobs are serious business. That's right, this isn't like WoW where you can kill normal mobs from the comfort of your toilet. You can't auto-attack any monsters down in this game, and pulling extra mobs can be a real problem. Don't be afraid to use consumables if a fight gets hairy; dying kinda sucks in Aion so avoid it if you can.
- Change channels if there are too many people around. From level 1-20 you can change instances of the zone you are in, which is quite handy for avoiding that nyerkbag sorc who keeps stealing your kills. Just go to Menu > Support > Change Channel
- Create a special "PVP Alert" chatbox and have it display only "Combat Info - Third Party" and check all "Enemy" boxes. This chat box will alert you to the activities of nearby enemy player characters, often before you can see them on your screen. Since the chat boxes disappear when not in use, I put mine right smack in the middle of the screen so I really notice it when something happens.
- If you can afford it, buy skill manuals for later levels and carry them with you. Having the manuals on you when you level is nice, as it cuts down on travel time going back to a trainer.
- If you have to go afk, set up a personal store. The broker can get expensive, but Aion allows you to sell your items at a personal store, which you can set up any where at any time. You can't play your character when you do this, so the best time to do it when you have to afk. The way to open the store can be found in the menu. Even at low levels you can unload some of your crap for cash, especially around release when everyone is a lowbie.
- Learn to glide. This sounds simple enough, but gliding isn't just hitting spacebar at the top of a hill and floating to the bottom. If you push the left, right, and back keys as you are gliding, you can "catch the breeze" and increase your glide time by a huge amount. You can also pitch forward to increase speed. Try hitting the buttons at different times to see how much distance you can get.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.0 - UI/Interface:
- You can tell how difficult a mob is by looking at its portrait. The number of dots showing in the circle tells you approximately how hard a mob is. An elite mob's portrait is larger and more ornamented.
- You can also tell how difficult a mob is based on the color of the name floating over their head. White mobs are easy, yellow mobs are normal, orange mobs are hard, and Red mobs you'd better stay away from.
- You can get an overlay of the zone map by pushing "N"
- Auto attack can turn off sometimes. Make sure you bind a key to it.
- The quest interface is very robust, and you are able to find out more information about certain parts of quests by clicking on the blue underlined text. You can also "locate" items for quests by pushing the locate button at the bottom of the popup window.
- Your minimap is a radar. It will show all mobs, npcs, and players in your nearby viscinity. White dots are neutral mobs, red dots are agressive mobs and enemy players, and blue dots are friendlies. If you click on a mob, a yellow circle will appear around its dot, showing you the aggro radius of the selected mob.
- Quest givers will have several different types of icons above their heads:
A blue single arrow is a standard quest offer. A double blue arrow is a standard quest turnin, usually part of a chain. The last part of the chain will typically be a blue starburst. Gold arrows and starbursts refer to campaign quests. Double sideways arrows refer to quests that require you to make a choice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.1 - Level 1-10
Here you start out on a normal human on your journey to becoming an immortal daeva. In the beginning, nothing will aggro on you unless you attack it, and the quests are all pretty linear. You should be gathering Angelica whenever you see it, as there is a quest to turn it in.
Try to pick up every quest you see, and make sure to do all of the campaign quests. Also, there is a "cube artisan" in the first village who will expand your backpack for a fee. As soon as you can afford it, you should do this. He also has a quest to do.
Hang on to any green items you can't use to sell on the AH once you get to a broker (First time you do is in Pandaemonium at lvl 10). Especially in a new game, these greens bring a good price.
Most of the quests are pretty straightforward: kill x of y, find q on the ground and bring it to me, etc. If you've played any MMO in the last 5 years you should have no trouble with the beginning areas. The mobs are a bit harder than some western MMOs, but for the beginning levels they are non-agressive and won't aggro on you until you attack them.
A couple of things to look out for: the kangaroo mobs that the old lady asks you to kill can randomly drop a quest to have you pull an axe out of a tree. The axe is very big and facing a small pond. This is a choice quest, and the correct choice is to keep saying "no that isn't my axe" until the guy gets to the iron axe. The reward for this is some xp and three axes you can sell to the vendor for Kinah. Also, another random drop quest happens in the graveyard; the vengeful ghosts can drop a silver necklace that starts a quest to pick up bones for the ghost npc that paths around the graveyard.
You should also consider completing the quest line that has you get a log book off of lefarist revolutionaries, as completing this quest line gives you the "Treasure Hunter" title.
The two most difficult areas from 1-10 are the graveyard and the mumu village. The graveyard is only difficult if you pull more than one ghost, or accidentally get the "cursed kerubim" guy. The mumu village has some tougher mobs, that are closer together, so you need to be a bit careful here.

You don't need them for anything, as the mumu sentries drop the same thing as they do and aren't annoying. Also watch out for aggro from the watchtower sentries.

Aion Best Leveling Strategy
As everyone knows, questing in about all the MMOs out there is a good way to get your XP. If you are a total stranger to a game, to the environment and the quests' content, you actually lose XP, by wasting important amounts of time trying to figure out how to solve them. That's why, this Aion quest guide was an excellent solution to my leveling problem.
It's simple. Not only this Aion quest guide gave me all the details I needed to know for any quest in any area, it also had a nicely made quest path. That means all the quests were ordered by quest routes, which helped me solve more than a few in each point of interest. This minimized my time spent questing in an area, maximizing the amount of XP for each of my leveling sessions.
Although this Aion quest guide provided me with all the information I needed for the quests in the game, it also taught me a few other things. Improving my character to squeeze every drop of efficiency when killing mobs and also becoming a master of flight are just two of them. I've learned everything I needed to know about buff, foods, manastones, stigmas and gear to keep my stats up and maintain a constant killing spree. Knowing to use every cooldown of my wings properly, I was able to be on top of things all the time, literally.

Aion Leveling Guide Fast Leveling Secrets Aion Online
This guide was one of the best leveling tools I could find for Aion online. Not only that I was the first player in my guild that hit the level cap, this Aion leveling guide has also unlocked for me quite many leveling secrets of the game. Therefore, I’m going to share a few of them here.
1. Just as in other MMO games, in Aion Online questing is the best way to level up. So, even if sometimes quests are not enough to take you to the next level, make sure to pick up all the quests and do them in the best order to manage your time. The Aion leveling guide I’ve been working with has provided me with a great questing path which covered this aspect beautifully.
2. It’s a good thing to keep the level of your quests a few levels under the level of the toon you play. This will enable any player and any class to go through the quests quickly, without the risk of failure.
3. After you finish your Abyss access quest, it’s a good thing to travel there and start working on every quest you can find in this area. All the quests here have enhanced XP bonuses and you will also get Abyss Points. Plus, the mobs within the Abyss have better loot and you can also make nice Kinah.
4. I know PvP is fun and you get nice Abyss Points by killing players, but it’s a good thing to stay out of trouble and try to avoid the opposite faction players. Even if you win every fight, it’s still better to complete 3-4 quests instead of fighting, so if you want to reach the level cap fast, stay away from PvP.
5. Gather every resource that you can find because you will get XP. Also, in Aion Online crafts are very important, not only because you will turn them into your personal gold mines selling what you craft, you also get a fair amount of XP over time by crafting. So, don’t neglect your gathering or tradeskills.
I hope my tips have helped you at least a little to boost up your progress in Aion: Tower of Eternity. However, if these tips are not enough, I strongly suggest that you should start working with the Aion leveling guide I’ve been using.
Here’s a link if you want to take a look at the nicely made Aion Leveling Guide I’ve been using. Also, here are the best Aion Guides.
1. Just as in other MMO games, in Aion Online questing is the best way to level up. So, even if sometimes quests are not enough to take you to the next level, make sure to pick up all the quests and do them in the best order to manage your time. The Aion leveling guide I’ve been working with has provided me with a great questing path which covered this aspect beautifully.
2. It’s a good thing to keep the level of your quests a few levels under the level of the toon you play. This will enable any player and any class to go through the quests quickly, without the risk of failure.

Fast!! Elyos 1-10 Leveling Guide
Elysian 1-10 Quick Start Guide:
Welcome to a quick start guide for the Elyos faction. In this guide we will briefly cover what you need to do in order to hit level 10, with as little confusion as possible.
First, You will enter the world at the southern end of the Akarios Plains (denoted by a 1 on the map,) take a second to familiarize yourself with the skills you have. Next I recommend customizing the UI, press "O" to open the game options menu. The first two buttons should represent "Quit Game" and "Logout" respectively, click the third button which should be "Options." The option tabs are UI, Video, Sound, and Key Bindings resectively. I recommend familiarizing yourself with the UI options and what they do in order to spend the early game adjusting it to best fit your style of play. I also recommend avoiding changes to the key bindings or the video settings unless you begin having issues related to them.
With this done you should find an NPC with a blue arrow over his head standing just in front of you, speak with him to obtain your first quest! Your first quest is as simple as it gets, head just down the road to the North and speak to another NPC which now has a blue arrow over his head. Speak with him to complete your first quest and receive your second.
Your new quest will involve killing a few of the Kerubs that are found through out the area. Kill them and return to the NPC again to complete the quest and receive your next one. The new quest will be to collect sacks of grain from the nearby camps and can be done easily without killing anything as nothing aggros in this area. Return to the NPC with the grain once you have collected the necessary amount and he will send you further down the road to the north.
Heading down the road to North you will find another NPC with a blue arrow over his head (denoted by a 2 on the map,) speak to him and you will receive another quest. The quest will have you killing Grain Snufflers in the surrounding fields and collect their tails as proof, bring back the requested number of tails and the NPC will send you into town to make a delivery. If you are not level 3 yet continue collecting Angelica until you reach level 3, it should only take a couple successful gathers by this point. Once you are level 3 continue down the road to the North-East and into Akarios Village.
Akarios Village & Cliona Lake
Immediately upon arriving are Akarios Village your quest menu will appear declaring that you have received your first mission quest. Mission quests are quests that follow the storyline of the game and completion of them is required to access most of the instance content in the game. NPCs related to mission quests will have a yellow arrow over their heads instead of the blue arrow we have seen so far. Continue exploring the village being sure to speak with anyone that has an arrow over their head picking up all the quests they have to give.
The following is a checklist of things to make sure you get done before proceeding North out of the village.
* Find the bind stone and Soul Healer first, they should be just left of where you entered the village. Speak with the Soul Healer to learn a little more about it and then bind to the stone next to her allowing you to easily return back to this location in the future.
* Make sure to find your class trainer, the class they can offer training for will be designated under their name. Purchase all the skillbooks you can that do not appear red, find them in your inventory and right-click them to learn your new skills. You can then pull up your skill menu using K and drag the skills to your quick bars.
* Find the Weapons and Armor dealers and check for upgrades that can be purchased, scrolling over items for sale will bring up the item you currently have equipped and color code the stats of your current armor showing red for lower and green for higher stats. You probably can not afford anything new yet but you will know at what levels it is available and where to find it. You can also click the "Sell Misc" button to get rid of useless items in your inventory giving you extra Kinah and freeing up inventory space.
Heading out of the village to the North you will want to visit 2 more NPCs to pick up quests, the first one is immediately outside town (designtated by a 3 on the map) and the other one farther North along the edge of the lake (designated by a 4 on the map.) The following is the list of quests that you will find in this area before proceeding on (in no specific order):
1. Collecting Angelica - Collect Angelica in the area.
2. The Kerub Threat - A 2 part Mission quest dealing with Karub in the area.
3. Abandoned Goods - Collect wine , it can be found around the farms North-West of Cliona Lake.
4. Unos Ingredients - Collect Airon Meat from the birds at the lake.
5. To Fish In Peace - Kill Brax and Slink around the lake.
With these quests completed you should have reached level 5 so stop and get you new skills, perhaps a new weapon or some armor as well before heading on to Daminu Forest. Now head down the road North-East of town picking up a couple quests along the way and you should have the following quests when you reach the narrow point occupied by a couple Everglade Sylphen.
1. The Woodcutters Lost Axe - This quest starts by an item that drops from the Brax, usually on the Southern end of the Cliona Lake.
2. A Book For Namus - Received from the guard at the North gate of town.
3. Light Up The Night - Received from the NPC along the road North-East of town.
4. Pernos Robe - Acquired from the Armor seller in town.
After verifying you have all these quests you can proceed down the narrow path until you emerge into the Daminu Forest.
Daminu Forest & Deforested Area
Just after emerging into Daminu Forest you will find 3 NPCs along the road, all of them will have quests. Turn in the quests you can and pick up the new ones. I recommend killing the Sparky necessary for the quest "Light Up The Night" and then heading back to the fisherman along Cliona Lake to turn in one of your newly received quests as well as "Light Up The Night" before getting to involved in the forest itself. With that the following are quests you should find in this area with additional information where necessary.
1. .
2. The Elims Mysterious Message - Returns you to the fisherman near Cliona Lake and then to Akarios Village.
3. The Request Of The Elim - A multi-part mission quest dealing with Dukaki in the area.
4. The Nymphs Feathered Gown - Received from an item that drops off of Abex in the forest.
5. The Mushroom Thief - Kill Mepigus in the Area.
When you reach level 6 several more quests become available that you may not find until much later if you are not aware they exist. Some are back at Akarios Village while some are at the Outpost in the Deforested Area (designated with a 6 on the map.) Be sure to pick these up these when you reach level 6 keeping in mind while you travel that you are now entering areas where aggresive mobs are much more common. You may find quests other then these listed, go ahead and pick them up but do not worry about them until we are finished with this area.
1. Mopping Up Zaifs - Received at the Outpost and requires you to kill Zaif in the area.
2. A Taste Of Namus Medicine - Received at the Western end of Daminu Forest and sends you to the Outpost.
3. Polinias Ointment - Received from Polinia at Akarios Village and send you to the Outpost.
Having finished the quests listed up to this point you should be level 7 meaning its time to return to Akarios Village for skills, armor, and quest(s) before continuing. While you are in Akarios Village make sure to visit the armor seller and upgrade any gear you can as well as getting the second half of the Pernos Robe quest line. When finished fly to the Outpost.
Kabarah Strip Mine
At the outpost make sure to turn in any old quests and pick up any new ones before you continue. Its a good idea to start here by completing the Delivering Pernos Robe quest as its the last on that will to do in the Daminu Forest & Deforested Area. If you want the fang for turn in you can find the cave by following the creak South-East from the Outpost.
Having acquired any 1 of the items required to deliver with the robe you can head North down the road from the Outpost to find Pernos (designated by a 7 on the map.) Turn in the quest making sure to choose the option related to the item you acquired and then pick up any other quests he may offer. in the Kabarah Strip Mine located East of Pernos and North-East of the Outpost.
1. Illegal Logging - The next mission quest dealing with Dukaki in the Strip Mine.
2. Wheres Tutty - Find Pernos lost pig, he is roasting at the first camp on the left if you enter the mine from Pernos side.
3. Avenging Tutty - Kill Dukaki responsible for raosting Tutty.
4. Ozs Prayer Beads - Kill Sparky in the area.
5. Ancient Cube - Find the cube at a small camp located just East of where Tutty is roasting along the Northern edge of the Strip Mine.
6. Melponehs Mushroom Research - Kill Fungi in the area.
7. Neutralization - Another mission quest involving a cauldron within the Strip Mine.
8. Tulas Music Box - Collect Iron Ore in the area, gathering level 15 requried. This quest eventually sends you down the Agaric Spore Road to the Timolia Mine.
Having finished this set of quests, many of which chain into more quests there is only one area left to discover. Starting at Pernos on the map and lead on by the Tulas Music Box quest head North-West to the next NPC (designated by a 8 on the map.)
Agaric Spore Road & Timolia Mine
When you reach the NPC at the Western end of the Agoric Spore Road be sure to turn in the Tulas Music Box quest and obtain the new quests he offers. These quests will send you furhter West into the Timolia Mine itself, leaving the NPC headed that way you should have the following quests;
1. Suspicious Ore - Collect Ore from crates within the Timolia Mine.
2. Scouting the Timolia Mine - Collect Engine Parts from the inhabitants of the Timolia Mine.
3. No Entry - The last of the mission quests in this area requiring you do deactivate the gate inside the Timolia Mine.
With these quests complete you should have done everything there is to do within Poeta except Ascension!
The Ascension Quest
The Ascension Quest begins and ends at Pernos (designated by a 7 on the map.) The quest will require you to visit Cliona Lake and the large tree centrally located within Daminu Forest. Ive designated both these location on the map using the red number 9 and 10 respectively. The easiest way to complete this stage of the quest is to speak with Pernos to obtain it, then use your return to go back to Akarios Village and then walk all the way back to Pernos stopping at the quest objectives along the way.
When you eventually return to Pernos he is going to send you into the abyss where you will undergo a brief but simple fight. Following the fight is the best cut scene up to this point in the game, enjoy it and choose your class wisely afterwards. Pernos then ports you back to Poeta and will offer to send you to Sanctum, accept his offer and complete the quest upon your arrival. If you havent finished all the quests in Poeta you will want to return and make sure you have at least completed the mission quests or you may find yourself returning in the future just to do so when it much less beneficial.
