The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Introduction

for your Faction, doing all the dirty work of assassination. So what does James Bond do, other than getting the beautiful ladies? He acts in stealth, undercover, and uses any means necessary to achieve his goal.

- Role as an Assassin - Choosing a Race - Positives and Negatives - Differences Between Elyos and Asmodian - Assassin's characteristic

In many ways your role as an Assassin will be just like James Bond. With all your attacking skills and the ability to inflict a large amount of damage in a short period of time, being an Assassin makes you one of the most valuable damage dealers (also known as a DD class in the game). Assassins rely on their speed, the ability to hide, and their evasion skills. The Assassin also has a special set of skills, which includes the ability to Engrave Patterns on their enemies. Various patterns can be engraved on the enemies very quickly, and can be removed just as easily afterwards with your skills to cause severe damage and debuff status to your enemies.

Role as an Assassin The Assassin is usually viewed as the scoundrel of the race in many MMORPGs. Assassin, also know as Sin, is closely related to the archetypical thief class. Although the thief class in Aion doesn't exist, the Assassin is still viewed as a dishonorable class because of their ambush and poisoning skills.

Solo Player vs. Environment (PVE) The two words you should always keep in mind as an Assassin are "Damage Dealer", and that's what you should stick to, whether you're in a group or going solo. Your objective while solo is to inflict as much damage as possible to your enemy while keeping them stunned. As an Assassin it is very important to know your skills and to be able to use them at the right time. The goal is to kill your enemy with one swift combo, and if you find yourself in a bad situation just RUN

According to the official Lore of Aion, "Elysean Assassins have been known to follow Vaizel, the Lord of Free Souls, while Asmodian Assassins tend to serve Triniel, the Queen of Death." So What is your Role of an Assassin? As much as you are despised for your sneakiness and sly tactics, you are still a very important class in your Faction. Just think of yourself as James Bond working

Player

vs.

Environment

(PVE) In a group your role is ... guess what? Damage dealer! You will be doing what you normally do while going solo, but in a group. The difference between solo and group play is that you don't have to watch your health points as much, and hopefully you don't have to run away. In a group, skill combinations become less important, but that doesn't mean you can use whatever skill you want. So it is still good to know your skills so that you can increase your groups efficiency. Apart from being the damage dealer in your group, there are also two other minor roles that you fit into sometimes. These are the scout and the coward. The scout is straight forward because the Assassin has the ability to go deep within the enemies territory without being seen. So sometimes you could be asked by your group to search out a path. As for the coward, you're probably thinking well "I'm no coward" and you're right, but being a coward as an Assassin sometimes is crucial. Let me explain; when your group is being wiped out or is

in a hopeless situation someone must stay alive to revive the group. That is your job as an Assassin since you can use your hide skills and wait for the enemies aggression to subside. Again, don't feel bad for being a coward; it is for the better in the long run. Your Role in Player vs. Player (Group or Solo) If you like to go for honorable, one vs. one close combat pvp then Assassin is not the class for you. Your role as an Assassin in any pvp is to ambush; to sneak up on your enemy and unload all your skills to kill them in 1 swift combo. It is widely known that the Assassin can kill any class or leave them near death in one single combo, and if you don't kill them just run away, hide and go back and try again. The best strategy for Assassin in pvp is to hit and run. Many other players might call you a coward or being cheap, but disregard what they say since that is your role as an Assassin. You're not there to take damage, so use your skills and the environment to your advantage. In my experience, an Assassin works best alone as opposed to group pvp. It is, by far, the best class to sneak into your enemies realm and kill someone while they are leveling, afk, or resting, then run away, repeat and do it again. In group pvp, you don't have to hide as much, because you have a healer to heal you. Your job in the

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide group is to kill your opponents healer or mage, who are weak against your attacks. We'll go into more detail on the Assassin pvp style and tactics in the PVP section of this guide

Choosing a Race Two of the hardest decisions many MMORPG gamers ever face are choosing a race and choosing a class. If you've read the Assassin guide, I'll assume that you have already chosen your class. Aion is based on an epic war story between 3 different Factions, Elyos, Asmodian and Balaur, two of which you can play as. Since you only have two races or factions to choose from, let's look at their background and story first, and then I'll talk about the facts you should consider when picking a race for an Assassin. Elyos

Atreia. Elysea is a rich land filled with plants and fertile fields, which led the Elyos to believe that they are blessed by Aion. Asmodians Asmodians have more of an evil or dark appearance, as they closely resemble the Dark Elf race of many other MMORPGs. The Asmodians are brave, hardy, generous, loyal, and are willing to die for the advancement of their Faction. They are not hesitant to give their life for their comrades. Once the Asmodian become a Daevas they will acquire a pair of devilish wings which are a dark, menacing black colour. The Asmodian lives on the opposite end of Elyos in Asmodae, which is the upper part of Atreia. Unlike Elysea, which is inhabited by the Elyos, Asmodae is a cold, icy, and dark land. In order to adapt to the darkness of Asmodae, the Asmodian has developed otherworldly glowing eyes during combat (basically their eyes glow red when they enter into combat).

Elyos are viewed as the divine race; they are visually more warm, friendly, and divine. Once an Elyos becomes a Daevas after their ascension, they will acquire a pair of angelic wings which are visually white to resemble angels in Heaven. The Elyos race inhabits the land of Elysea, which is the lower half of

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Sadly, one of the major influences involved in choosing a race in Aion is probably going to be your friends. Why? Aion only allows you to play one race per server, so if you play Asmodian on the Server Siel for example, you can't play Elyos and I'm sure you would like to play with your friends right? That being said, not everyone is going to be playing Aion with a friend, and there are plenty of opportunities to make friends in-game. So here are some points which you should consider when choosing your race. Character Appearance This is probably the biggest part of the race decision making process. From my experience people like to choose the race which looks best in high level armor and weapons, and that is why you see so many real life male players designed as female characters. Just like it is true in real life, it is also true in the world of Aion, the female character looks better. Do I like dark skin? Do the Elyos wings look better than those of the Asmodian? How does my character look in this armor? These are probably some of the questions that are going through your head while choosing your race. Here is something to help you out, upon the release of the North America and

European launch of Aion (version 1.5) you'll have the ability to customize the looks of your armor, and even to appear like the opposite races' armor. That's one problem solved, so the only things left to consider are whether you want Angelic White Wings, or Devilish Black Wings, dark skin, or light skin, and whether you want eyes that glow red during combat or not. Character Attributes I don't know if this is equal or second to the appearance decision. "Does my race kick ass?" If you are asking yourself that question, let me tell you, you're not alone! Everyone wants to be on the winning team, and nobody likes to be one of the losers. Well, this decision is made easy for you in Aion because in order to have a balanced game, both Factions/Races have the exact same attributes per class. The only factors that will make your faction stronger are going to be your comrades and their ability to play. However this "What goes up must come down", nobody wins forever. Just stick with your race even if your race is losing, unless you're the only one left. Leveling Environments In my opinion this should be the most important factor you should consider while choosing your class. Although the way Aion is structured, the Asmodian and Elyos do have similarities in the structural

-12© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide layout of their zones, there is a huge difference between terrains, and the feel of zones. Elyos has a more green, fertile, jungle terrain, while the Asmodian would have a more cold, dark, and dreadful feel to their land.

Positives and Negatives I'm going to try to keep this section as unbiased as possible, because I just love Assassin; especially in Aion.

Quests and Racial skills Overall both the Elyos and Asmodian has a very similar structure when it comes to their quests. However Elyos, as of patch 1.0, do have an slight advantage for being able to reach level 20 faster than the Asmodian, keep in mind that it will be different upon the official NA/EU release which is on Aion Patch 1.5. In of racial skills, as an Assassin you don't have to worry about it too much; there are differences but they are small. For example, the Elyos DP Skill does less damage than the Asmodian DP Skill, but in return Elyos retains health for a percentage of the damage. We'll get into more details during the skills section.

The Good - Assassin or its archtype is a very popular class in almost every MMORPG, and here is why. Their DPS (damage per second) is on par with that of a sorcerer but with no downtime, and because their skill requires little to no Mana points to use. Assassins are fast; speed is their weapon, they hit fast and critical hard. - As for leveling, they are widely known as one of the fastest, if not the fastest class to be able to hit the cap level. In every Korean official launch version, Assassin was always the first to hit max level. - Assassins are also one of the top pvpers; there will always be a spot for an Assassin in the top 5 pvp list of any server. Assassin is able to kill almost any class with one swift chain skills or leave them near death. - Assassin is the only class which can use advanced hide skills, and in Aion patch 1.5 they can stay in stealth mode forever. Being able to stay in stealth

-13© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide forever allows Assassins to position themselves in PVP, and allows them to easily access areas where other classes would have to fight their way into. - Assassin is great for rifting (rifting is the ability to travel through a portal to your enemies land, for example Elyos can take a rift to go to the Asmodian's land and kill an Asmodian player and vice versa). In my opinion Assassins are the best at solo PVP, because they can use stealth, and ambush their enemies and easily kill them. That is what makes them such an ideal class for rifting PVP, sneaking up on your enemy while they are killing other mobs, or afk, or regenerating health, etc. - Best of all, the Assassins are really fun to play, and they look really cool with dual weapons!!!

The Bad - Assassins are only better than mage when it comes to taking damage. The Assassin wears leather, which although it gives them high evasion, it also makes them very vulnerable. That is why Assassins are commonly referred to as a "squishy class" - meaning they cannot take a lot of damage and may die quickly. Due to the fact that Assassins are a squishy class, it makes it crucial for

anyone that is playing an Assassin to really know your own skills and timing, and also those of your enemies. - Another down side to the Assassin being squishy is that they are not an ideal class to solo elite or certain boss mobs for unique item drops. Sure the Assassin can solo elite mobs or boss mobs, but they require a large amount of healing potions, and downtime, so it's not really worth it. - Assassins are primarily a close combat class. They have a very limited number of range attacking skills. Because Aion is a 3D combat environment where you can fly, this is a huge disadvantage to an Assassin. Aerial pvp is hard for an Assassin, not only because Assassins don't have many range skills but also because some of their really useful skills like Ambush IV and Aerial Lock don't work while you're in the air. All and all this puts the Assassin at a disadvantage in Aerial PVP. - Being the most popular class in the game can be a negative as well. Since so many people are playing Assassins, it will make it hard to find a diverse group sometimes. Nobody wants a group full of Assassins, and you don't either since it is annoying enough having to share useful Assassin drops with another Assassin, you don't want a full group of Assassin. Aside from being hard to find a group, you can expect that many of the Assassin's

-14© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Stigma Stone skills, or high quality Assassin weapons, and amors will be very expensive due to the high demand. It is not cheap to play an Assassin. - Finally, you will find yourself out of play in most massive pvp or castle sieges as an Assassin. Yes, Assassins are one of the top pvp, they are good solo, they are ok in a group, but when it comes to massive pvp they are not as great. As was mentioned, Assassins don't have range skills, and can't take much damage either. They are unlike a Templar or a Gladiator, for example, which are classes who wear heavy armor and can take hits, so essentially they can run into a mass group of pvp and take damage from 5-6 people at once and be ok with a healer ing them. - As an Assassin, on the other hand, if you ever get into a group of enemies you will die so fast, you won't even know what happened. Hoping that nobody will see you if you try killing people in the mass won't work, since it isn't hard to spot a red name appear in a bunch of white names. Despite all that, don't worry too much, because there is still a role for an Assassin in castle siege or mass pvp. You're there to pick off other squishy characters (i.e. anyone that wears cloth or leather like you). You're also there to pick off anyone who is near death with low hit-points

Differences Between Elyos and Asmodian This is going to sound a little like the previous section "Choosing a Race", but I'm going to go into more detail on the differences between the two Factions. Also from my personal experience of playing both race Elyos will have a much easier time getting to mid 30 then the Asmodian, because they have more quest and they get their blue weapon quests earlier then the Asmodian. Often a server will start out with more Asmodian player, and end up with a higher population of Elyos. This isn't to discourage you from playing an Asmodian, I personally play Asmodian and love it. Plus they have an better advantage over the Elyos end game. Looks and Basic Assassin Attributes Let me cover some of the basic and obvious differences quickly: first the looks, like mention above, although this isn't a important factor but I know most of you will choose your faction based on looks. Basic Assassin attributes are the same for both races: same health points, mana points, evasion, etc... Storyline If you really enjoy how the story unfolds through the game, then this is pretty important to you. Elyos will have a

-15© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide different story line than Asmodian. Personally I don't care too much about the storyline. Racial skills I know you have seen this a lot already throughout this guide, but as much as Aion tries to keep both factions balanced they still adding uniqueness to the factions by giving them slightly different race specific skills. Terrain and Quest-lines. Elyos have a different quest-line than Asmodian, no surprise there. Which one is better? Neither! You are going to hate and love some quests for both factions. Which one is easier? As of the Aion 1.0 patch, Elyos is slightly easier to level from 1 to 25, although I didn't compare the ease on a quest by quest basis, but when I played Elyos to level 25, it seemed to be a lot easier and faster than my Asmodian. However keep in mind that the EU/NA Aion release will be based on Patch 1.5, which will be adding a lot more quests for every level, making it just as easy to level for both factions. Terrain and environment play a big role in the ease of leveling your character, and Rift PvP. Once both factions reach level 20 and start to level in Morhiem for Asmodian and Eltnen for the Elyos, you are able to rift PvP. Morhiem has a lot of mountains, cliffs,

canyons, and very narrow pathways, and those factors allow the Elyos to have a much easier time to hide their Kisk during rift. Eltnen on the other hand is a huge wide-open desert, easy to maneuver in, and harder for the Asmodian to hide their kisk because there aren't a lot of mountain ranges to hide them in. That being said, however, it's easier to level in Morhiem than Eltnen as an Assassin for two reasons. One, there are less Kures in Morhiem than Eltnen. Kures are level 24-27 mobs that stun and have a lot of hp and defense, which makes them a pain to kill as an Assassin. The second reason is Morhiem seems to have a more linear quest path, while Eltnen seems to be spread out all over the place because of the wide-open spaces.

Assassin's characteristic When it comes to the Assassins in Aion, their key characteristics are Hide (Stealth), Signet Patterns, Backstabs, Evasion, Counter Attacks, Stuns, and Poisoning. Hide (Stealth) This is going to be one of the key characteristics for an Assassin. The Hide skill allows the Assassin to sneak behind their enemy and cause fatal damage.

-16© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Although Rangers have the ability to use hide, it is ONLY the Assassin who can acquire more advanced hiding skills at higher levels. Signet Patterns Engraving

and

Pattern

As mention earlier, the Assassin has a unique set of skills called Signet Patterns. For those of you who have played WoW as a Rogue, the Signet Patterns are very similar to the Rogue's Combo Points. The Assassin can engrave up to a maximum of 5 patterns on their enemy; the patterns are then removed upon using any Signet skill such as Heaven's Edge or Pattern of Explosion. Upon removing the patterns, certain effects may apply depending on the skill used. It could cause physical damage, stun, or a debuff, or whatever the skill effect might be. Just keep in mind that the higher amount of engraved patterns removed produces a greater effect. We will cover more on how to use and manage your patterns in the skills section of this guide. Backstabs The Assassin just wouldn't be an Assassin without the ability to ambush or backstab your enemy. In Aion, the Assassin can get a total of three different attacks that add bonus damage if used from the back of your enemy. The three

skills are Surprise Attack acquired at level 3, Smash from Behind acquired at level 34, and Assassin's Divine Prayer skill, i.e Vaizel's Dirk I for Elyos, Triniel's Dirk I for the Asmodians. The Divine Prayer skills are acquired at level 50 and require 4000 DP to use it and require a 1-hour cooldown period afterwards. Keep in mind that these skills should only be performed at the back of your enemy, otherwise they are useless and do little to no damage. If the backstabs skill is used correctly along with stuns, airlock, and buff it is widely known (and verified by screenshots and videos) that a level 50 Assassin can do over 10,000 damage to an level 50 mob. Poisoning Another key characteristic to an Assassin is their ability to apply poison to their weapons. Apply Poison, and Deadly Apply Poison are the two skills that allow the Assassin to apply poison to their weapons. Although the second skill sounds more deadly, it isn't used as often nor is it as popular as the regular Apply Poison skill. The reason is that the Deadly Apply Poison is a Stigma Stone skill and it requires a Stigma slot to use the skill.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Basic Attributes

Available Weapons

Both Elyos and Asmodian have the exact same basic attributes, which is a way for Aion to balance both factions so no one can complain about one faction being favored over the other.

The Assassin has the ability to use 3 different types of weapons: Daggers, Swords, and Bows. However it is really more like two different types of weapons, because you're not really going to use a Bow as your primary weapon for PVP or PVE.

All Assassins start as a Scout for the first 9 levels. The starting attributes for a scout are Power 100 / Health 100 / Agility 110 / Accuracy 110 / Knowledge 90 / Will 90. Once you finish your ascension quest and become an Assassin your basic attributes are as follows Power 110 / Health 100 / Agility 110 / Accuracy 110 / Knowledge 90 / Will 90. You gain an additional 10 points to your Power attribute as an Assassin, which will allow your attacks to do more damage.

For people who have more experience playing MMORPGs, you are probably thinking that "Assassin uses daggers as primary, and swords as maybe an offhand weapon" and that is exactly what I thought when I played an Assassin in Aion the first time. In every other MMORPG I have played which has a class like Rogue, Assassin, or Thief, their primary weapons of choice are daggers, and then they might use a sword offhand for damage. Most of those games' Assassin's or its corresponding archetypical classes have no choice but to use a dagger as their primary weapon, because their backstabs skills require it. Aion has this weird thing where you can perform any Assassin skill as long as you're equipped with a sword or a dagger, which means you can even perform your backstabs skill with a sword - in fact many high level Assassins do use swords as their primary weapon and dagger or another sword as their offhand weapon.

-18© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide There are a lot of debates and discussion around the topic of whether it's better to use two swords, two daggers, dagger primary and sword offhand, or sword primary and dagger offhand. In short, the sword does more damage, and the dagger is faster and causes critical damage more often, but there are a lot more factors involved for choosing the best set of weapons for your character; something which we will get into later on in this guide.

Class Features - Has the ability to hide, and at higher levels the Assassin has the ability to use advanced hide - Has the most number of stun skills in the game. - Has many different skills to debuff your enemy. - Can use apply poison. - Has high counterattacks.

Available Armor

evasion,

and

uses

- Can Ambush, and use high damage backstab skills.

When it comes to armors, Assassin wears leather, period. You can wear cloth armors but you should never, ever wear them because it is useless for an Assassin. Since Assassins are an evasive class; they rely on their evasion, and leather armors have the most bonus points on evasion. Sometimes an Assassin with a high evasion build can become the tank for the group; since their evasion is so high that only a few attacks would actually land on them. However, if there is a tank in the group, let them do their job and you focus on doing damage.

- Can use dual weapons. - Has Patterning Engraving skills.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Combat Strategy When it comes to Combat Strategy as an Assassin, it all comes down to the very simple concept of "kill fast, and don't die." Ideally that's what you want to focus on as an Assassin. So how do we do that? Due to the unique flying feature of Aion, we'll have to look at combat in two different sections Aerial, and Ground. Aerial Combat Strategy: Let just say that Assassins aren't the best class when it comes to aerial combat. We have only 1 to 2 ranged attack skills, Ambush doesn't work in the air, and Mid-Air Binding doesn't work in the air; so all and all it puts us at a disadvantage. Luckily you won't be doing much aerial combat, unless you're in the Abyss PvP, or Fortress Siege. So what's the best way to win in Aerial combat as an Assassin? Well firstly, don't get into aerial combat unless you absolutely have to. To avoid too much aerial combat just to always have Apply Poison on, because Apply Poison not only deals DOT damage/with a chance of stun, but it also keeps your opponent on the ground. Many players don't realize that while you're poisoned in any way, you

cannot fly; although you can still glide, just can't fly. As hard as you will try to avoid aerial combat in the Abyss, it's still going to happen. What should you do if you get into an aerial combat situation? It depends; if you are fighting a melee class like Templar, you can either just go head on with them in the air, just to use Pain Rune to stun since you can't use Binding Rune. But the best way is to force them into a ground battle by getting on to the ground yourself, because they are also melee and they need to get close in order to hit you, so they have no choice but to follow you. However that being said, the majority of aerial combat is going to be with ranged classes, generally Sorcerers and Rangers are going to give you the most trouble in the air. If you happen to survive their surprise attack from mid air while you are killing other mobs, then fly up or down as much as possible to get out of their spell/attack range. Here is why you fly vertical, and not horizontal. When you are flying vertically you accelerate a lot faster than horizontally, so it's a lot easier to fly out of their range, and if they choose to following it is hard for them to cast/attack you while going vertical. Once you get out of their target range go into Hide; you can use hide while you're in mid-air too, from here you would just try

-20© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide to get behind them and act as if it is ground combat. The idea is to keep up with them in the air so that they don't have a chance to attack back, and in order to keep up with them in the air you must have a Greater Scroll with you to increase your flying speed. Keep them pressured, until they run low on flying time. Also I just want to mention that once you reach level 31, you'll obtain a DP skill called Windwalk, which requires 3000 DP to use. The skill is extremely useful, because it puts you into advanced hide and makes your opponent lose their target even if you're in combat. So it is an extremely good idea to always have around 3000 DP while you're in Abyss, just in case a Sorcerer or Ranger tries to kill you from mid-air. Ground Combat: While you're playing solo PvE, your main strategy will be to keep the mobs stunned, so it is very important to know your own skills and have a good skill rotation. Along with the skill rotation strategies listed below, there are two things that you should never do, which are:

and most ideally Surprise Attack. Also, if there is a point during your battle that you have succesfully dodged an attack, and your Counter Attack/WhirlSlash is up, use them. This will give you an extra attack, and keep your opponent stunned. For Assassin PvP combat strategies, please refer to the PvP section of this guide. Skill Rotation: When it comes to skill rotation, keep in mind that there are 3 different rotations depending on the mobs you are fighting. These are Aggressive, Non-Aggressive, and mobs with skills you need to dodge. The starting of your rotation will be different when you're facing an Aggressive mob, as opposed to Non-Aggressive. And if the mob has a skill worth dodging (this is especially true for caster mobs), then you must save your Focused Evasion for that skill; this is very important as your level gets higher. Tip: One of the keys to your success in combat is how you bind your hot keys. You can bind your keys however you like, just make sure it's comfortable to you and it goes well with your skill rotations.

1) Never use your DP skills without buffs. 2) Never use Killer's Eye with any skill other than Swift Edge, Whirlwind Slash,

Level 1 - 20: Before you reach level 20 the Pain Rune skill is simply useless, so if you don't want to use it, I understand. The reason is that

-21© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide the Pain Rune stun and damage is solely dependent on how many patterns you have engraved on your target and before you reach level 20 you only have 2 skills that engrave patterns. However, once you reach level 20 you can equip the Sigil Strike stigma skill, which will allow you to engrave your 3rd pattern making it a very good skill to have in your rotation. Dash (if up) -> Devo - > Fang Strike - > Rune Carve - > Sigil Strike - > Pain Rune - > Killer's Eye -> Surprise Attack (from the back)- Swift Edge Chain ---> Focused Evasion --> Counter ---> Repeat. Level 21 - 30 I'm going to skip the level 21 - 24 skill rotation, because it is pretty much the same as level 1 - 20. The only difference is at level 22 you'll get the skill called Clear Focus, which is a buff that increases your critical damage for 1 min. It is a very good buff to to always have on. Once you reach level 25, you'll be able to equip the Stigma skill Ambush, and your rotation should look something like this. Devo -> Clear Focus (if up) - > Ambush (if up) --> Fang Strike ---> Carve Chain --> Binding Rune/Pain Rune (depending on which is up) - > Killer Eye --> Surprise Atk --> Swift Edge Chain --> Evasions --> Counter Slash/Whirlwind Slash -- Repeat

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Leveling - Elyos - Asmodian

Elyos I'm sure alot of you would agree with me when I say I hate reading a guide that is filled with useless information. That is why I'm going to keep the Assassin leveling guide simple and straight forward, while at the same time gets you to level 50 as fast as I can, to the best of my knowledge.

Levels 1-10

games, that it is a good idea to get use to the UI( interface), and all features of the game. As for UI I personally recommend the following option to be turned on. Under the Game Option tab click "Display Number on Status Bar' in the Status Bar section, then click "Show Extra Quickbar" 1,2, and optional 3 in the Interface section, finally scroll down to combat info section and check "Show distance to target" and "View Target's Target". Other UI options are option, play with the option see what suits you best. Now all that is out of the way, let's get on to the actual leveling guide. Your very home in as an Elyos in Aion will be Akarios Plains, once you can move start out by talking to Elpas he has a blue arrow on top of him, get the quest "Sleeping on the Job", head down the road and speak to Mires to complete your first quest. Once you have completed your first quest do the following quest in the same area. From NPC Mires:

1.0 - Starting Out Warning: For level 1 to 10, at any point once you reach level 9 STOP what you`re doing and skip everything and begin reading 1.5 of this section. Before we get to actual quest and leveling outline, I just want to quickly mention to those who are starting new on Aion or has no experience with similar

Kerubim Hunt - Hunt 3 Striped Kerubs. [After Kerubim Hunt] Grain ThievesFind 4 Kerub Grain Sacks, they are located all around the Kerub habitats. [After Grain Thieves] Report To The Priest- Find Polina in Akarious Village, so follow the road and head towards the Village

-23© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide From Kales (Note: Kales is a farmer on your way to Akarios Village) The Snuffler Headache - HuntGrain Snufflers for 4 tails. [After The Snuffler Headache] Kales′s Request - Speak to Uno in the Village. At this point you should be level 2 and almost level 3. TIP#1: While you're doing all your quests in Akarious Plains, there are Aria(plants on the ground) all over the area gather them by double clicking. Keep the Aria and you gathered, because you'll need them for a quest later. Also it is a good idea to keep collecting Aria till you have at least 15 points of extracting/gathering skill, it is required for a quest later as well. You don't have to collect only Aria till 15 skill points, you can collect other stuff, I just prefer Aria because it saves slots in your inventory and they sell well to other players later. Tip#2: Make use of your quest log menu by pushing default key "J", it will guide you through most quest. In the quest log you will see certain name or words highlighted in blue, click on them and use the locate function, it will help you find what it is that the quest requires on the map (Not all quest, but 90% of the quest). USE THIS TO GUIDE YOU

THROUGH MOST QUEST. 1.1 - Akarios Village & Cliona Lake Once you have arrive at Akarios Village your first series of Missions [Kalio's Call] automatically starts. They are usually harder than the regular quests, and a lot longer, but they can be more rewarding sometimes. Also I highly suggest you complete all mission quests, because once you reach level 50 you'll need them to be completed in order to begin your Fenris chain quests for your Fenris Armor. Miragent Armor are arguably the best PvE armors in the game for any class. You'll also obtain another quest call "A New Skill" when you enter the village, all you have to do for this quest is speak to the Scout trainer. Quests in Akarios Village: Collecting Aria - Begin this quest by speaking to Polinia, then go collect 10 Aria(Note: although your require to collect 10 Aria for the quest. I suggest collecting as much as you can, or at least you have up till 15 points ) [Mission]The Kerub Threat- Speak to Muranes just outside the village to begin this quest. This is a 2 part mission, first hunt 5 Small Horn Kerubs, and head back to Muranes, then hunt Big Horn Kerubs for 5 Kerubar Fangs. Abandoned Goods - Speak to Minalinerk to begin, collect wines. Note:

-24© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide the wines are located in the North-West corner of Cliona Lake. Uno's Ingredients - Speak to Uno to begin, collect Airon Meat from the birds at the lake. Quest in Cliona Lake: To Fish In Peace - Speak to Feira near a house by the lake, kill Brax and Slink around the lake. Tip #1:Once you arrive at Akarios Village Soul Bind yourself to the Obliesk, it is a big green stone with wings. Once you are Soul bonded to any particular town or camp, upon your death you restart there. Tip#2: Buy more bandages at a General Goods Store, don't be cheap use bandages to heal they don't cost a lot. Tip#3: I really don't recommend buying any new weapon or armor up till level 13, you will acquire new equipment by quest or drop. However if you really want to buy new weapons or armor go ahead. Skill Tip#1: Upon reaching level 3 talk to the scout trainer in Akarios Village by the armor shop to obtain your new Surprise Attack I skill. Surprise Attack only affect additional damage if performed behind your enemy, almost all enemies level 5 and below are none aggressive, which mean you can use Surprise Attack firstthan go on and use

Swift Edge etc... Skill Tip#2: To equip your new skills push "K" by default to bring up the skill list menu, just drag and drop the new skills on to your quick bar. After completion of all the above quests you should be level 5, If you're not level 5 you should be close to anyway. If you haven't reach level 5 just kill a few more mobs in Cliona Lake till you hit level 5. Once your level 5 head back to Akarios Villiage get you level 5 skills from the scout trainer, and grab some more bandage, food, or potion as you need them. Once you have got your new skills and resupplied, obtain the following quests: A Book For Namus - Received from the guard named Melampus at the North gate of the village. Pernos' Robe- Speak to Mune to begin, Acquire 5 Grove Abex Skins from Grove Abex in Daminu Forest. Now head out towards Daminu Forest, but before you get there on the way you'll meet another farmer name Pranoa standing by a house. You can't miss him his got a blue arrow on top of him. Light Up The Night - Received from Pranoa,Hunt Two-Day Sparkie for 6 Sparkie Luciferins. Optional Quest:

-25© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide The Lost Axe - This quest is started by an item that drops from the Brax usually on the Southern end of the Cliona Lake. If you can't get the drop for this quest it's not a bid deal just move on, you're not missing out on anything important anyway.

The Elim's Message - Speak to Namus to begin the quest, then go meet Feria in Cliona Lake, and finall go back to Akarios Village and speak to Asteros. Mushroom Thieves - Speak to Ampeis to start the quest, go and kill 8 Short Bristle Mepigus in the Area.

1.2 - Daminu Forest & Deforested Area After you arrive Meet up with Namus and hand in the quest "A Book For Namus", beside him there are two other NPC, a tree named Protector Noah, and Ampeis. They both carried new quests and the Missions "Request of The Elim". Following is a List of quest you should obtained. [Mission]Request Of The Elim Begin the quest by speaking to Ampeis, then speak to Protector Noah, Noah wants you to find and wake 2 Sleeping Elders. Report back to Noah, and then go hunt 6 Dukaki Woodcutters/Lumberjacks for 6 Kobold Axes, I highly recommend doing this part till you're at least level 5+. Finally Report back to Noah, then go speak to Daminu a very big tree in the forest, and go back to the village to speak to Kalion for your rewards. Insomnia Medicine - Speak to Namus, then go hunt Everglade Slyphen for 5 Sylphen Wings and bring them to Uno back at the village.

Optional Quest: The Nymph's Gown - The quest is trigger from a quest book drop from Grove Abex, double click to book to start the quest. The book drop pretty often you should do the quest. Plus you have to kill Grove Abex anyway for "Pernos' Robe" Quest. Tip#1: I recommend doing following quest together as all the elements required for the quests are in the same area: Pernos' Robe, The Mushroom Thief, and Light Up The Night. Tip#2: Don't turn in Light Up The Night, or The Elim's Mysterious Message untill your at least level 6 because you will need to head back to Akarious Villiage anyway to get some new quests. Complete all the quest above, you should be level 6, if not just kill a few mob till you are. Once you have reach level 6, obtain the new quest from Namus A Taste Of Namus' Medicine - Begin this quest by speaking to Namus, then you must speak to Lonian in Melphoreh's Campsite.

-26© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide and head back to Akarios Villiage, to turn in Light Up The Night, and The Elim's Message on the way in Cliona Lake. Once you have arrived at Akarios villiage, I suggest you get all you skill books for level 7, and restock on bandage if needed. Now get some new quest: Polinia's Ointment - Received from Polinia at Akarios Village and go to Melphoneh's Campsite and speak to Melponeh. Ancient Cube - Speak to Baevrunerk to begin the quest, go and find an ancient cube at Kabarah Strip Mine. The cube it self is located in a a small mining site middle North of the whole mine. Once you have done all that, USE the Flight Teleporter and fly to Melponeh′s Campsite. Tip#3: Once you are in Deforested Area doing part of Request of The Elim, most mobs are aggressive, they can be a little hard for a level 5 - 6 Assassin so be careful. Skill Tip: At level 5 you should have Hide I and CounterAttack, while against aggressive mobs many players I've seen likes to go into stealth mode go behind the mob and use Suprise Attack to begin. That is fine, but the cool down for Hide 1 Min, this will slow you down. I suggest when Hide is on cool-down go up to the

mob use Swift Edge -> Soul Slash ->Focused Evasion, then use Counterattack to stun the mob, once the mob is stun quickly go behind him and use Surprise Attack by the this time you can reuse your Swift Edge -> Soul Slash. Personally I prefer this over Hide and Surprise attack approach, but you can use both and alternate in between them. 1.3 - Melponeh′s Campsite, Kabarah Strip Mine, and Agaric Spore Road. At Melponeh's Campsite turn in any quest you have from before, and get started on 2 new missions, and 3 new quests. IMPORTANT: Once at Melphoneh's Campsite to soul bind there!!!!! DON'T FORGET [Mission]Illegal Logging - Speak to Oz to begin, defeat any 12 Dukaki Kobolds in the strip mine, report back to Oz, and then go back to the mine and kill 3 Tursin Outlaws, finally go back to Oz again. [Mission]Neutralization - Speak to Tula to begin, go and acquire samples from the Cauldron of Kobold in the strip mine. Now go to Agaric Spore Road and speak to Pernos, hunt Shade Fungen and acquire 3 Mushroom Spores and bring them back to Pernos. Take the solution given to you by Pernos and pour it into the Cauldron, report everything back to Tula, then to Kalion back at Akarious Village.

-27© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Thinning Out Worgs - Speak to Tula, go and hunt 9 Gray Worgs. Oz's Prayer Beads - Speak to Oz, go and hunt Elder Sparkies or Pincerhead Sparkies for beads. Tip#1: You should have the title "Tree-Hugger" at this point use it. To use titles push "P" by default and click the title tab in your character menu, under the title tab select the title you want in this case Tree-Hugger, and hit the Change Title button. Now you can do the above quest in any order you like but I suggest you do it my way to reduce running time going back and forth, of course you might or might not die, just do the best you can and keep yourself alive use heal potions. Ok back to questing, first complete Thinning Out Worgs go back turn in the quest at Campsite and you should be level 7, if not again just get to level 7. Once you are level 7 get two new quests called: Tula's Music Box - Speak to Tula, gather 5 Iron Ore in the stripe mine which requires gathering level 15. This quest eventually sends you down the Agaric Spore Road to the Timolia Mine. Mushroom Research - Speak to Melponeh, go and acquire 5 Mushroom Hearts from Fearless Fungies at Agaric Spore Road.

After you obtain the new quests, work on Mushroom Research, and Oz's Prayer Beads, this should bring you to Agaric Spore Road. Find a NPC name Pernos and obtain: "Where's Tutty" - Speak to Pernos, then find his lost pig, he is roasting at the first camp on the left if you enter the mine from Agaric Spore Road. After you completed Mushroom Research, and Oz's Prayer, don't head back to the campsite and turn in the quests unless you die, instead head into Kabarah Strip Mine. In the mine work on first part of Illegal Logging, the first part of Neutralization, find tutty, Tula's Music Box, and Ancient Cube from earlier. After all those quests are done head back to the campsite to update Illegal Logging and any quest you completed, then head back to Pernos in Agaric and obtain. Avenging Tutty - Speak to Phernos, and Acquire 5 Kobold spoons from Dukaki Vigilantes and Brawlers. While you're at Agaric continue to work on the second part of Neutralization, at this point you should have done the first part of it by getting a sample of Cauldron to Pernos. Now go back to Strip Mine and complete any quests that requires you to go to the mine. Once all quests are completed back to the campsite and get your rewards. After fly back to Akarios to

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide get your reward for Neutralization. 1.4 Timolia Mine VERY IMPORTANT: Just a reminder once reach level level 9, You SHOULD skip everything and go to section 1.5 and complete your Ascension quest first. Because there is a level cap, which means you cannot level past 10 till you have completed your Ascension quest. Also the amount of experience you get from the Ascension quest is the amount of exp require for the entire level 9 to level 10. So because of the cap lock, any addition exp you gain after level 9 is wasted. Now that your back at the village restock any supplies you need, and obtain the following new quests. [Mission]Barring the Gate - Final mission in Peota, you must have completed all other previous mission to even start this one. First speak to Captain Kalion in Akarios Village, then go speak to Oz at Melponeh's Campsite, after speak to Pernos at Agaric Spore Road. Head to Timolia Mine and speak to Poa, then head deep into the mine till you reach the Abyss Gate room right at the entrance of the room speak to Ino. Destroy 3 power generators, and then the Abyss Gate, go back to the village and report to Kalion for your rewards.

Delivering Perno's Robe - there are 3 different way to complete this quest with 3 different reward, you cannot get them all. The first two Brax Hoof and Abex Horn are easy to obtain but the reward sucks, so I suggest you get the Scar's Fang. To get the Scar's fang you must go to Deforested Area (which is on the way for our last part anyway) and head South-East from the campsite until you reach a cave with a named Zaif "Scar the Alpha Zaif" is a mini boss mob, he hits pretty hard but you can solo him. To solo him as an Assassin, first get some healing potion, food to boost Attack, and have Minor Secret Remedy of Life read on your quick bar. Now go to the cave and clear everything expect for the boss mob, use Hide and sneak up behind him and use Surprise Attack, then hit Focused Evasion follow by counterattack -> Swift Edge -> Soul Slash etc..... Any point during the battle if you need to heal, I suggest you use Secret Remedy of Life first because it's an instant 360 HP heal and low cool down time. However if his almost dead and you can take 2- 3 more hit use a regular potion you can buy at General goods shop. Now that you have the fang and "Barring the Gate" Mission head to Timolia Mine. You'll meet Poa at the end of Agaric Road, right by the entrance to Timolia Mine. Turn in the quest Tula's

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Music Box to get your new weapon ( I suggest getting a sword for damage) and obtain 2 new quests Suspicious Ore - Speak to Poa, Fine 6 NSuspicious Ore from the Suspicious Boxes inside Timolia Mine. Scouting the Timolia Mine - Speak to Poa, hunt Tursin Loudmouth, Dukaki Patrol, or Thug for 5 Engine Parts Timolia Mine. Complete all the quest and you should belevel 9 !! Tip#1: The mission Barring can be hard, if you find someone else doing the same mission there party up. But if you can you can always stealth your way to the Abyss gate room, once you're in the room go left first to deactivate the green generator, than go to the right side to deactivate the blue generator. The Violet generator is right in front of the gate guarded by a level 10 boss mob. He hits really hard and is hard for a level 9 Assassin, but he can be solo I have done it just use the same method as Scar the Alpha Zaif expect you will need to use potions for sure.

expect for the end but it's easy you won't fail. Once you completed the Ascension quest don't forget to choose the path of an Assassin!!! then talk to Pernos again to port up to Sanctum to complete "A Ceremony in Sanctum". Your now level 10!!! Do not worry once you port up to Sanctum, you're able to teleport back to Peota at any point to completed any quest you haven't yet. [Mission]Ascension - Reach level 9 to acquire the quest, speak to Pernos, fill a vial of water in Cliona Lake, bring the water to Daminu, speak to Pernos. While you in your memory defeat 4 Draconute Assaulters, and kill Orissa, speak to Pernos again pick "Assassin", and your back in Poeta. [Mission]A Ceremony in Sanctum After you completed Ascesion mission, speak to Pernos again, and say "yes I'm ready to teleport to Sanctum", speak to Leah in Sanctum, then Jucleas in the Lyceum, finally meet your the Scout trainer to receive your rewards. Note: you must complete this to move level 10.

1.5 - The Ascension Quest & Daeva′s Ceremony The Ascension quest is automatically given to you once you reach level 9. This part is very very easy, just complete the Ascension quest, no killing require

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide players.

Levels 10-20

1.0 Sanctum From here on, the rate at which you level may vary depending on the number of deaths you have, your speed of killing, and whether you just run past the mobs or kill them on your way to quest areas. I'm going to give you a basic outline as about which quests to look for and where to go. Also, once you reach level 10 and arrive at Sanctum, you can pick up crafting professions. Each crafting profession has a quest and work orders. Whichever crafting profession you choose is fine, but I would recommend Tailor for your leather armors, and Weapon smith for your weapons. However, it is widely known that Handicraft makes the most money, and Alchemy and Cook are easy with an average income. I also want to mention that from here on, many quests are Gathering quests, which means that in order to complete those quests you are asked to gather a certain amount of materials. If you decided to level up your gathering skill, then it will take longer for you to actually level, for obvious reasons. If you choose not to level up your gathering skill you can still do all of the quests, you will just have to purchase the items from other

Once you are level 10 you should be at Sanctum, which is the capital city for Elyos. Look around and get familiar with the city. When you are there, you should have completed Daeva′s Ceremony mission and have acquired new weapons from the mission, I personally recommend getting a sword instead of dagger, but ultimately it doesn't really matter. Tip#1: at level 10 you can purchase new skills. They are really useful so don't forget to get them from the Scout Master. Tip#2: At level 20 you'll get Herb Treatment I for both Mana and HP, so you no longer need to use Bandages. Tip#3: You'll also have access to the Warehouse (Bank). Store any materials that you don't need to use right now so you can free up spaces in your inventory. Tip#4: It is a good idea to expand your inventory slots, if you haven't yet. You can do that at the Cube Artisan in the Hall of Prosperity. You pay a little bit to add 10 extra slots to your inventory space. You can expand your cube and warehouse space many times, however it'll cost more every time you do it. Tip#5: If you wish to upgrade any part of your armor or weapons, you can do it now. Check the Trade Broker for other

-31© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide new equipment as well. Trade Brokers are also located in the Hall of Prosperity, and every major city except Peota. It is a system that allows easy trading between players. Browse the market and find some new gear. NOTE: I don't recommend that you get any new gear until at least level 13. If you do wish to purchase new gear at level 10, get the level 13 green gear, and not the level 7 gear. Tip#6: Do not bind in Sanctum. Missions: Dispatch to Veteron - Meet with Hyachinte in Veteron

Finish all the above quests that can be fully completed in Sanctum, and then go ahead and work on Dispatch to Veteron, which will lead you to Veteron; the 2nd major mission town. To get to Veteron just use the teleport. 1.1 Veteron & Tolbas Forest Once you have arrived at Veteron, turn in the two missions you acquired at Sanctum, and any quests that you have to turn in at Veteron. Once you turn in all of the quests and missions you have, start grabbing new quests because there are a ton of them. Missions:

While you're doing the Mission Frillneck Hunt, and The Potion Maker's Mistake, you will be lead to South Tolbas Forest, and you can obtain a few quests and missions there: Missions: Source Of The Pollution - Defeat Deadly Poison Slacy while using the Slime Immunity Medicine. Note: First this mission should not be done until you are at least level 16. So I suggest that you do this quest when you are level 16 as it requires you to go to Sanctum. Though you would have to go to Sanctum at 16 anyway to grab your new skills. IMPORTANT: After going all over the place and getting ready to kill Deadly Poison Slacy, be aware that he hits really hard. He doesn't have much HP, but unless you use your Slime Immunity Medicine, you'll only hit for 1 damage no matter which class and level you are. SO to use the MEDICINE! I don't know how many times I died because I forgot to use it. Also you will receive two medicines from the mission; you

Note: This quest is easy, but it is very annoying since Lightningfoot never stops running and he runs fast. To kill him you must start where he spawns. He spawns near the left entrance of Dukaki Mine, not the one straight from the bridge. Make a left after you cross the bridge. Gift to a Pilgrim: - Meet with Anasia in Zunion Canyon.

Collecting Poison Sacs Optional: A Special Omelet Contaminated Samples Some of these quests are hard, and some are easy, so use your judgment while you work on them. However, complete them all and you should be around level 15. At this point, head back to Tolbas Village and grab some new quests and missions. Also complete the mission Frillneck Hunt so you can obtain the Head Frillneck mission.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Get these new quests and work on the quest Gift to a Pilgrim that you got earlier in Tolbas Village. The quest asks you to meet Anasia at Zunion Canyon. Do not fly there from Veteron because there is another quest on the way there. So on your way to Zunion Canyon, turn in any quests you have that are to be done in Tolbas Village or South Tolbas Forest. Down the path between Dukaki Mine and Zunion Canyon, you are going to walk past a little pond with a bunch of statues in it, and one of them has a blue arrow quest on him. Headless Stone Statue - Find the Statue's head. His head is located in the water of the lower water pond area. After you have completed this quest, continue on to meet up with Anasia. There should be another NPC that gives two gathering quests right before the bridge that gets you to Anasia. The NPC is an Abex and gives 2 gathering quests. So if you do want to work on your gathering skill, then do the quests:

Pilgrim in Trouble - Once you've done all that, it's time to head to Pilgrim's Respite. Tip#1: When you are overloaded with items and materials, it's a good idea to head back to town to clean up your inventory and restock any potions or Lesser Odella Powders. Tip#2: Most missions are continuous. Which means you must turn in the mission more than just once, so to go back and update them. Tip#3: You get new skills at level 13 and 16. Whenever you can, go get the new skills at Sanctum. 1.3 Pilgrim's Respite & Holy Ground Right before you arrive at Pilgrim's Respite, you are going to come across the Contaminated Swamp.

Eninte - Kill Eninte the Banshee Continue to Pilgrim's Respite and once you arrive, sell and restock anything you need. Turn in any quests you have here, and grab these new quests. Note: some quests require that you be at least level 17. Kolgolem's Essence Dispelling Ancient Spirits Tribute to the Temple - Meet Lunax in Holy Ground. [Gather] Feed a Cold - Gather 10 Ruko Fiber and 5 Rubus. At this point you should be at least level 16, however if you're not level 16, just kill mobs until you are. Read the recommended grind spot below. Tip#1: At this point since you can fly between Pilgrim and Veteron, it is a good idea to head back to Veteron to hand in any quests you need to hand in there. Also, if you haven't grabbed the quest Supplies for the Watch and An Antidote for Roseino because they require you to

be level 15 to start, get them now. It is also time to head to Sanctum to hand in any quests you have there, such as Enite's Request. Recommended Grind Spot: For fast leveling from 15 - 17 grind on Contaminated Slimes or Mud Rabbits in the Contaminated Swamp, or at night you can kill Ancient Elyos Spirits (recommended for 16 - 18). Complete all the quests above and head to Holy Ground to turn in the Tribute to the Temple quest. Tip#2: Holy Ground is a fly-enabled zone. Some of the quest NPCs are above in the big tree in the middle of the zone, so you must fly there. Tip#3: There are coin quests in Holy Ground. The quests are repeatable and every time you complete a quest, you earn a coin. You can use those coins to trade for gear. Note: The gear is random, but is class-specific. The Quests in Holy Ground require that you be at least level 18. If you're not level 18 yet, again just go grind until you are. Once you are level 18, get the following quests and missions: Mission: [Group] Held Sacred [Group] Krall Desecration - Note: You can only obtain this quest after you have completed the Held Sacred mission, so do not worry about it if you can't get the quest

Now that you are back in Veteron, at this point (hopefully) you are at level 18. Mission: A Nest of Lepharists - Infiltrate the Lepharist Ship by using the transformation, then kill Captain Kinsgreen. IMPORTANT: Do not do this mission until you're least level 19. Note: Captain Kinsgreen is a level 20 boss mob. Along with him there are two other level 20 Shipwrecked Deckhands. To solo him here is what you do; first you must have a bow - if you don't have one, then go get one. Once you arrive inside the ship cabin, kill the Shipwreck Deckhand who walks up and down the stairs. Now go down the stairs in the room and you'll see Captain Kinsgreen and his two henchmen. Target either one of the Shipwrecked Deckhands and hit her, from far away as you can, with arrows. Once you hit her run back up the stairs and hit her again with an arrow, then run around the railing of the stair until Captain Kinsgreen and the other Deckhand lose their agro. Kill the single Deckhand, and repeat the process for the other one. Now Captain Kinsgreen is alone in the room; just Hide, then Surprise Attack him and take it from there. to use healing potions and anything else that will help you during

[Gather] Can't Please Everyone Gather 15 Venera. Once you have done all the quests, then head back to Veteron. Recommended Grinding Spot: This isn't really a good place to grind until you are level 20; the Shipwreck Deckhands are easy to kill, and give 6k + experience per kill. However they hit hard, which increases your down time; but if you have good armor and can kill them really quickly, then this is a great place to grind. 1.5 Tursin Outpost Garrison (Group Quests)

&

Tursin

Note: This section is for all the group quests and missions. It requires that you have a group to kill the elite mobs in Tursin outpost and Garrison. Those mobs cannot be fought solo at your level, since they hit hard and have lots of hp; they are designed for groups. At this point hopefully you are level 19. If you are, then head back to Veteron to grab this quest: Veteron Reinforcements - Meet Lavirintos in Sanctum -> Xenophon ->

-39© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide back to Veteron to report to Spatalos. Veteron Reinforcement will send you to Sanctum. While you're there and since you are level 19, grab all your level 19 skill books, then head back to Veteron. Once you have completed the reinforcement quest, you will be able to acquire the following 3 group quests in Veteron. [Group] Krall Conspiracy - hunt Tursin Sentinel Chiefs for Necklace Studded with Odium. [Group] Reducing Tursin Strength Search the area south of Tursin Garrison, then Hunt 9 Tursin Elite Searchers.

If you can't get a group to do these quests now; don't worry about it, just skip them and you can come back and do them later. However, you do eventually have to complete these 3 group missions, because in order to obtain the final mission for Veteron you need to have completed all of the previous missions. 1.6 Final Mission, Stigma, and Eltnen If you haven't completed all of the previous missions in Veteron then skip this section, but if you have completed all the previous missions then you should have the level 21 mission now.

Keep in mind that there are also 3 missions that require you to be in a group: Mark of Revenge, Held Sacred, and Krall Desecration. Also, go to Ellun River Mouth and grab the following quests:

Tip#1: If you're not level 19 or 20 by now, please read the above recommended grinding areas and get to level 20. However if you don't want to grind, you can always head to Theobomos, or Eltnen and do the level 19 quests. Those quests will be covered in the 20 - 30 guide section, but I really recommend you get to level 20 before you go anywhere else.

[Group] Culling Krall - Hunt 10 Tursin Veteran Fighters, and 10 Tursin Veteran Sentinels.

Sealing the Abyss Gate - First speak to Spatalos in Veteron, then destroy the Abyss Gate.

Get them now. These group quests do give good experience at level 20 and good rewards.

-40© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide is inside it is pretty easy, just kill all the Balaur and destroy the gate. The only part of this mission that you need a group for, is getting to the gate and killing Chieftain Kraka. Once you are inside the gate, everything can easily be soloed. As an Assassin, you can solo this mission. You can use hide all the way to the gate if you are careful; just take a break at the bridge for Hide to refresh. Once you are inside of the gate, use a bow to pick off the Balaurs one by one and then kill the boss who is really easy and destroy the Abyss gate. Once you have reached level 20, it doesn't matter if you have completed all the missions or quests in Veteron; two missions will automatically start. Morheim Commander's Call - Go to Eltnen and start the Eltnen mission series. A Sliver of Darkness - This is your Stigma quest. From this point on, you can equip stigmas. 1) Speak to Jucleas in Lyceum Sanctum to start the quest.

3) Head to Veteron Holy Ground and speak with Morai. 4) At the same place, speak to Icaronix 5) Double click the box Icaronix gives you. 6) Now you're in this unknown place. Speak to Ecus and follow his directions. 7) Now you're going to learn how to equip stigma and defeat a Spectre. To use the stigma, go to your skill menu; it's there just like a regular skill. Use the stigma skill given to you to kill the Spectre, since it does 1000+ damage to him. 8) Go back to Moari and report what happened. 9) Go to Lavirintos in Protectors Hall in Sanctum. 10) Speak to Orphe in the same place to get your reward.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide that might want to kill you.

Levels 20-30 You're now level 20, and here is where the game really begins. Three more new zones have opened up to you; Eltnen, Theobomos, and Heiron. However, you'll only be leveling in Eltnen and Theobomos as Heiron is for level 30 +. Once you have reached level 19 - 20 in Veteron, you're actually automatically given quests and missions that will direct you to Eltnen; which is the new major town. However, your experience in Eltnen will be very different than what you had previously in Veteron and Ishalgen. Eltnen is the biggest zone you are going to come by for now, it covers the levels 20 - 40, and it is also your first PvPvE zone. What is a PvPvE zone? Well, in Eltnen you not only interact with the environment, you also have a chance to do PvP (player versus player). In Eltnen, there is a system called Rift; Rift appears every 2 hours of game time, which is about 40 minutes in real time. There are always two rifts that appear at once in different areas of Eltnen, one rift allows you to travel to Asmodae to PvP or complete your Spy quests. The other rift allows the Asmodians to come to Eltnen. So in Eltnen, you not only have to watch out for NPC mobs, but also other players

Tip#1: There are restrictions on player level and number of uses for each rift; the rift closer to the town of Eltnen has a level cap of 30, and a usage of 16 which means 16 players can use the rift to go to Asmodae. The rift in higher level areas will have higher level caps and more usages. Tip#2: Always bring a Kisk when you're planning to go rifting solo or with a group, if you don't have the money for a Kisk, make sure someone in your group has one. Once you rift over to Asmodae, in this case Morheim in particular, if you die you'll return to Morheim and probably will have to find another Rift - which are hard to find sometimes. With a Kisk, if you die you go right back to where you or your group placed the Kisk. Tip#3: If you're planning to go rifting be prepared, bring resurrection stones, potions, etc... As there will also be more Asmodian in their own land than the number of people rifting there. While Poeta and Veteron has pretty linear quests lines, once you reach level 20 the way you level will be very different. You'll be going back and forth between Sanctum, Theobomos, and Eltnen. When I was writing this part of the guide, I was thinking to myself about how can I make the best out of this guide. I wondered how to give you the most value from it, because

-42© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide the truth is that if I just give a quest by quest guide line, I know you'll run out of quests by level 24 and then you will be stuck. I'm going structure the guide by level, by what quests are available for that level, which quests I recommend doing, and where is the best place to level when you have no quests. Here I also want to include some general rules for those of you who wants to get to level 50 as fast as possible; for those who play casually just do what you can with the quests and have fun. While I can't promise you that you'll get to level 50 in 3 days with this approach, I can say that I have personally reached level 30 twice as an Assassin in both Closed and Open Beta, and level 40 for Chinese Aion. I have out leveled someone in my legion who was level 20 when I was level 4, and when I reached level 25, he was still only 24 - and he plays a good amount of time per day, too. Playing Time: it is important but it's only a part of how fast you can level; it really depends on what you do with the time. I it that I personally play a lot more than a handful of people, but you don't have to play all day long to level fast, you just need to know how to make the time you do spent on Aion count. So here is Rule #1: Do not waste time on things that don't help you level, for example pvp, rifting, crafting, dueling.

Rule #2: Only do quests that are your level or below your level. Rule #3: Know that questing is not always the best way to level, it can actually slow you down. Rule #4: When grinding after level 20, only grind on mobs that are your level, one level lower, or one lever higher than you. Rule#5: Always have healing potions, and use Odella to heal. One of the biggest problems, is that when people are trying to level fast, they are experience-hungry. They exhaust all the quests they have and when they don't have any quests, they spend hours looking for new ones. If you finish all your quests and missions that are 5, 6 and 7 levels higher then you, then I assure you that you'll run out quests. NEVER, NEVER try to complete quests or missions 4+ level higher than you. Another thing that people tend to do wrong is they like to kill mobs that are 3 to 4 level higher than them so they can gain a lot of experience per kill. The problem with that method is that mobs that are higher level than you will usually hit harder, and have a higher amount of HP so it will take longer to kill them. Using this method will actually slow down your leveling speed. IMPORTANT: If you cannot find one of the quests, do not worry about it as some

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide quests are not 100% confirmed yet. With all that out of the way, let's get back to the leveling guide.

Level 20 to 21 Once you reach level 20, you'll still have a good amount of quests from either Eltnen, or Brustonin. However there are many quests that are gathering quests, and all of which require level 100 + gathering skill. If you don't have any gathering skill then skip these for now, or you can buy the material from other players. Tip#1: At level 20 you can start equipping Stigma skills, so it's time to keep an eye out for some key Stigma needed for PvP. Flurry, Aethertwisting, and Ambush I are the 3 Stigma you should watch for; if you see other players selling them on Trade Broker, get them at a reasonable price. The price may vary depending on the server and when you started to play the game. You do not need to equip the stigma immediately once you have them; for more details on Stigma, read the pvp section of this guide.

Pluma, and Hooked Sylphen, all of which are right outside of Eltnen Fortress. You can also hunt Web Crasaur, but it's not recommended. Web Crasuar have high HP which takes longer to kill, but if you want to you can kill them. Grove Vespine are also good mobs to grind on at level 20, they are just outside of Eltnen in Manduri Forest. In Theobomos, you can grind on Wasteland Vespine, or Sandstone Kalgolems. Try to avoid Kerubars as they take longer to kill. Available Quests: Note: Some quests, like The River Predator, are obtained from Lano; a fisherman located in the water pond area around Eltnen. Eltnen Fortress & Manduri Forest: Missions: A Ruler's Duty - Obtain 1 Kerubian Bucket. Sataloca's Heart - Speak to Kimeia, then obtain as many Claws from the Drakes as possible within 3 min. Note: The drakes are level 27 - 28, I suggest doing this quest when you're at least level 26. Quests:

Recommended Grinding Spots: In Eltnen you can grind on Mottled Slink, Armored Sparkle, Crimsontail

Bait and Switch - Obtain 5 Crasaur Flipper, and 3 Sylphen Tail.

[Spy] A Teleportation Adventure After you completed A Teleportation Experiment, Obtain 3 Essence of Earth; this quest also sends you to Morheim. Note: I suggest that you do not complete this quest until at least level 25 - 26, as there are a few more quests that require you to go to Morheim, but you'll need to find your own rift to go. So it is a good idea to save this as a free trip to go to Morheim, plus it teleports you to a place where it's impossible for Asmodians to get to you or your kisk.

You can keep on grinding Red Stone Kalgolem in Theobomos, or you can go to the Burning Land area and grind on Flame Basilisk, or Burnt Branch Rotron. However the best spot to grind is probably Revenge Valley; hunt all the level 23 Virago Warriors, and Virago Shaman. The Virago are really easy to kill and give very good experience, highly recommended for grinding 22 25. Tip#1: at level 22 you get new skills; don't forget to get them at Sanctum.

[Group] Eliminating a Suspect - Kill Hamerun the Leech Note: You can only acquire this quest if you completed the Unearthing the Truth, and Relics Left Behind quests. Hamerun hits really hard and runs really fast, so don't attempt to solo him. You should definitely complete this quest when you can; the Yadamonerk's Sword given as a reward is good for level 23.

Wanted: Black Widow - Obtain Sinis's Hair from Sinis. Note: Sinis has multiple spawn points, and can be hard to find sometimes. However, he is often near Bored Ramnodase in Burning Land A Clue Left by the Dead - Obtain The Rest of the Letter from a Kerubar Loot Grabber, or a Sentinel.

These are probably the hardest levels to obtain between level 20 - 30 and here is why; you will most likely run out of easy quests to do at this point, and you cannot enter Abyss, where the good experience is. IMPORTANT: At level 24 you should start your Fire Sword quests. If you don't, you're an idiot and shouldn't even bother to read the rest of the guide. To find out more about Fire Sword quest, read the level 25 - 26 section. Recommended Grinding Spots: You can keep on killing Viragos in Theobomos. However, I suggest that you start killing the mob that drops the Fire Sword, which is required for your level 25 Fire Sword quest, because the drop isn't guaranteed. Kill Mottled Basilisks and

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Dried Gnarl until you obtain the Fire Sword. If you don't get the Fire Sword to drop, keep doing it even if it takes you until level 30. Available Quests:

Theonia requires that you have at least 130 Extracting skill; if you don't have it then you're out of luck. You can try buying them from the Trade Broker before going to Morheim. Three Kurin Brothers - Hunt the three Kurin Brothers, Nimble Aramis, Fat Athos, and Runty Porthos.

Marfonda of Darkness Spiner Pincers - Obtain 15 Plump Pincers.

Note: This quest is actually really hard for an level 24 Assassin, Runty and Fat Athos are easy to kill. Nimble Aramis is the hardest of all 3 brothers, he doesn't hit; he just runs but he runs super fast. Even with your Spring and 30% run scroll you can barely catch up to him. The hardest part is that he runs in a full circle in Eiron Desert and if you don't kill him before he gets to the end of the circle, he despawns, and you have to wait for him to respawn. You can ask a mage, ranger, cleric, chanter, or anyone that can root or slow him down to help, or you can wait until you're 25 and have Ambush. Start with Ambush and stun him, then do your Pattern Carving and use Aerial - lock etc... Eastern Eracus Desert:

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Level 25- 26

Abyss.

I personally believe that level 25 is truly the beginning of Aion. If you had fun before level 25, you will have a lot more fun after level 25. At level 25 you'll leave Theobomos, as it is designed for level 20 - 25, and 45 - 50. Once you reach level 45, you will return to Theobomos but until then, there are no more new quests. There is a whole new zone open to you at level 25; Abyss. Abyss is the only zone in Aion which is shared by all 3 factions, Elyos, Asmodians, and Balaurs, which makes it a very unique environment to play in. It is also the only zone in which flying is enabled everywhere, making it possible to have aerial PvP. Unlike Eltnen and Morheim, where you must find a rift in order to pvp; Abyss is an open PvP zone for both Elyos and Asmodian, so be careful when you're leveling. The open pvp environment is not the only unique feature that Abyss has. All Fortress Sieges are located in Abyss. All quests and missions give AP (Abyss Point) as part of the rewards. All mobs in Abyss drops stigma shards, and gives AP for killing them. You also gain more experience per mob that you kill than in regular zones due to the PvPvE nature of

You do not gain access automatically once you reach level 25. In order to gain access to Abyss at level 25, you must complete a series of missions which automatically start upon reaching level 25. The 4 missions to gain access to Abyss are pretty easy; they are: Testing Your Mettle - Speak to a Few People in Sanctum. The Abyss Quiz - Take an Abyss knowledge test. Note: Don't worry if you get an answer wrong, just keep clicking until you get the right answer. While you are in the Temple of Knowledge doing the Abyss General Knowledge Mission, don't forget to pick up the Secret Library Access quest from Obliete. You'll need this quest to finish another later. Deliver on Your Promises- You have 3 choices, Eltnen ,Sanctum Underground Arena, and Asmodae, I recommend Eltnen; it will ask you to go to Eltnen and kill 3 Big Horn Baku, 3 Sweeper Kures, and 3 Roaring Monitors in Eltnen. If you choose the Sanctum Underground Arena, you must kill ten mobs in 4 minutes or less. Testing Flight Skills- Flying Test. IMPORTANT: Watch the video carefully so you know your flight path,

-51© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide because you have a very limited amount of time to complete the test. Note: While you're in Sanctum working on your Abyss missions, to get a quest called Secret Library Access at the Library, you will need this quest later in order to complete a level 30 + mission. Secret Library Access - Go to Brigade General Sptatlos in Veteron and obtain a letter of recommendation. Once you have completed all of the Abyss Access missions, you can head to the Abyss. To get to the Abyss just fly up to the gate above Eltnen, Veteron, or Heiron and click on the gate. Once you arrive at Abyss for the first time, a mission is given to you automatically called: Governor's Directive Meet Governor Michalis in Reshanta, this mission starts your series of Abyss missions. Before we get to the available quest section for this level, I just want to remind you that at level 25 you'll acquire your new skills. At the same time, you'll acquire a new quest called Esoteric Freedom Book, grab it and complete it. Esoteric Freedom Book - This quest will lead you to Sigyn, where you will buy your new skills books from now on. Recommended Grinding Spots:

If you haven't got the Fire Sword yet, keep grinding on Dried Gnarl, and Mottled Basillisk. If you have acquired the Fire Sword already then go to the Abyss, I recommend grinding only in the Abyss and nowhere else. The best mobs to grind on are the level 26 Balaurs (Draconute Flamecrest, and Draconute Flamehorn). They are hard to get to for Elyos as they are located right by the Asmodian Fortress. If you ask me, I would grind on Balaurs all the way to level 35, because they drop Draconute material which is required for level 40 + unique weapon and armor crafting. They are usually in high demand, and they sell for very good money to other players. However, that being said, Balaur aren't the best mob for fast experience. If you really want to level fast, you can grind on Soul Reapers. If you don't like to PvP, and hate to be killed while level, you should just grind in Eltnen. Note: You really don't need to grind level 25, there are so many quest and mission, it is a giveaway level Tip#1: to equip your Stigma skill Ambush I at level 25, if you have it. Available Quests: Eltnen Fortress: Thirst-Quencher [Gather] A Daeva's Reputation II Gather 5 Aquamarine Ore.

Once you reach level 32, you can start a quest called Flame Sword that can be acquired at Sanctum, and you'll need the green Flame Sword as part of the quest turn in, so do not sell it. Once you

Level 26 - 27 Recommended Grinding Spots: Depending on which faction is guarding the area, Memory Reapers are probably the best mob to grind at level 26. Memory Reapers are located in Wings of Siel Archipelago. What makes the Memory Reapers such a good mob to grind, is the fact that they are really easy to kill and there is a repeatable quest Eliminating the Memory Reaper, that gives 33k experience, money, and AP every time you complete it. If the island with Memory

Even though you don't have the benefit of the repeatable quest, the experience is still extremely good and fast. Again, if you haven't obtained the fire sword yet, keep doing that. If you have completed the Fire Sword quest, hunt Striped Maeki, Maned Basilisk, or Ancient Carytaid. I personally recommend Ancient Carytaids; they are easy to kill if you use Focused Evasion to avoid their first spell, and keep them stunned.

In Eltnen, you can either go to Eastern Eracus Desert and kill Wasteland Basilisk, Dune Basilisk, and Thorntail Scolopen. You can also stay at Drake Habitat and keep grinding Wasteland Drake, Drakie, and Tenacious Drake. Another good place to grind is in the Underground Temple, where you can hunt Long-eared Fangwing, and Eracus Gargoyle (the non-elite version); they are located at the top floor of Underground temple. NOTE: In order to gain entrance to the Underground temple, you must first complete the quest Killing for Castor. Tip#1: at level 28 you get new skills, and most importantly, you get Beast Kick I.

Level 29 - 30 Recommended Grinding Spot: Again in Abyss, hunt the Ashikar Assault and Ashikar Vanguards.

Once you have reached level 30, you can start your Daevanion Armor quest. This quest starts in Sanctum and you must complete this quest, because it allows you to choose 1 out of 5 blue Daevanion Armor sets. Once you have collected all 5 pieces of the set, you can obtain a Daevanion weapon; which is a super amazing level 30 blue weapon. Note: The Daevanion are not tradable, and cannot be stored in the legion warehouse. You can also only do the Daevanion Armor quest once. If you want to have the complete level 30 Daevanion armor, you can either create 5 different characters and do the quest 5 times. You can find them as drops in the Upper Abyss, but they are very very rare drops. To start your Daevanion Armor Quest go to Sanctum and speak to Leah here. She is located near the teleport, on Exalted Path. She will give you the first quest called:

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Fermina at the Airship Dock Area. Note: For one part of this quest, you must go to Eltnen Observatory to speak to an NPC. A Sage's Teachings - This quest start with Fermina, you have to speak to a bunch of people, and get 4000 DP by killing mobs, then go back to Fermina and get your Daevanion armor reward. A New Choice - This is the Daevanion weapon quest, which you cannot start until you have all 5 pieces of Daevanion Armor.

Available Instances: Fire Temple, Sulfur Tree Nest, Right Wing Chamber, Left Wing Chamber, Eracus Temple Cavern. You must complete the quest "Firetemple Key" in order to enter Fire Temple, but you won't be able to start the quest until level 30. For Left, Right, and Sulfur Tree instance, your faction must own the fortress for you to be able to enter. As for Eracus Temple Cavern, you must have completed a quest at level 28 to enter Heiron : Mission: Orders From Perento - Meet Brigade General Perento of Heiron Fortress

Levels 30-40 Recommended Grind Spots: If you like Abyss grinding, then the upper abyss is where you would go to hunt Undeads, Goldems, or the Residents around Ruins of Roah. If you do choose to grind in the Abyss, to always bring a kisk and use it near the guard posts, that way if you do die to Asmodians you can respawn at your kisk and don't have to fly all the way back. If you do a lot of grinding, you'll realize the money for the kisk will be easily covered. If you don't like to grind in Abyss, you can go to Heiron around the Klawtan's area and hunt Klaws; they are the best experience in my opinion.

The Ruins of Roah - Speak with Sarantus -> Ibelia -> Find the Engraved Stone Tablet in Vaizel's Peak -> Take the Tablet to Ibelia -> Speak to Sarantus -> Ipikio -> Calon -> Find the Stone Plate from Ruins of Roah -> Report to Sarantus.

Now, the best experience is the Sword Island. However, because it is such a popular place for both Elyos and Asmodian to level, there is a lot of pvp. If you don't mind the pvp, it is the best experience at this level. Also, if you head south of the Ruins of Roah where you see a bunch of broken up islands, you can hunt those level 32 - 33 Drakes on them. Keep hunting Klaws at Heiron but at 32, you can also start doing Fire Temple runs for missions, quests and exp. Also, the end boss in the temple drops a level 35 Gold sword and dagger.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide detailed walk through from another Aion player: Sustain from Ariel Server: "Upon completion of the "Go here and talk to this dude" portion of the quest you will eventually be told to enter Azoturan Fortress and speak to Acestes who will then send you on an uncontrollable little flying tour of the area, eventually leading to speaking to another NPC and a short little movie clip. Attempting to prevent as many spoilers for you all, I'm going to break down the NPCs and general strats as best I can based off memory. Upon landing in the fortress, you're standing in the middle of an overhead balcony that lets you look down over the enemies. I'm sure by now, if you're this far along in the game, you've basic understanding of how pull mechanics and CC work, so I'm only going to point out the annoying things we found out in our time there. The Azoturan Fighter has a fun and nifty aggro dump after 50% upon a successful hit of mortal blow on the tank. I dodged several and when doing so, kept threat the entire time, but if I only parried or blocked his mortal blow and took any damage at all from it, he'd immediately shoot off towards a random party member, sometimes even to the SMs pet.

The Azoturan Healers are a joke. Simply CC them to prevent cleanse and heals on the primary focus fire target and enjoy. Upon going down the ramp after your first two pulls and making your way to towards the interior of the fort, there are two assassins in hide; make sure your ranger (or whatever class can) keeps a detect up and gives the tank fair warning if they pat close. The RM-138c is also a joke. Nothing to worry about as a tank. We cleared the entire bottom "entry" level of the fort between both sets of siege doors to give us room to work with. Though this is most likely optional. The first tricky pull is the 3 pull in front of the door that gives entrance to the ramp leading to the interior. We had an Outrider, Scholar, and Healer, though this might be randomly generated and might consist of a different comp for your group. After killing them we worked our way down and noticed a named in the room to the left. Be CAREFUL when you see her. There are two healers in the room with her, tucked into the corners to the left and right that can be pulled out separately from her and should be. The named was Lab Director Elizer who dropped a pair of blue leather boots. Don't their exact name all I is they had -threat on them.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide After killing her, we worked our way down the ramp and eventually found a room filled to the brim with NPCs, tons of different single and double pats as well as stationary NPCs and even 2 bosses crammed into the room. All I can tell you here is BE PATIENT. It is simple enough to pull them one at a time if you're willing to take the time to watch their paths as a tank. I left my party back up the ramp and just pulled everything up to them. If I pulled too many, I just stayed at the bottom to die and let them leash before getting a res. After you clear out the rooms first couple of pulls it becomes much more manageable and less stressful. The whole thing took maybe half an hour due to me taking the time to make sure I didn't get any adds. I'm sure higher level groups could do it faster, or maybe a group with more CC. The real gem to mention here is RM-56c who, in all honesty, is the "boss" of this little instance. He is a 5 bubble level 45 elite that took us probably 5 minutes to kill. He has a LOT of Hp compared to the other two bosses of the place and I'd put his HP pool more towards Engineer in SR than a typical boss his level. He has a couple of nasty abilities I off the top of my head that are as follows. Black Twister: about a 10 meter AoE with a cast time, it can be ranged and

should be ranged by both the tank and any melee. (About 3-4K on me the first hit I took. I stepped out after that) Trash: Single target guaranteed ( I couldn't out range it even popping charge and getting a good 25m away) but it has an AoE portion as well that needs to be stepped out for other melee. Our SIN screwed up his dodging and took an 8K hit from it) (About 4K consistently) Traps/Mines: He drops them. Just run and let the ranger clear them behind you to give more comfortable breathing room for kiting. (Never got hit, no clue) Runes: He applies runes like SINs and then does a move called "Rune explosion" that hits for about 500 for each rune on you at the time. He starts out only applying one and by the end of the fight he was applying 4-5 at a time on me before exploding them. That is all I can off the top of my head. It's like most other bosses tank and spank with being smart enough to move out of crap. He just has a lot of HP. I do mean a lot. Don't freak if you don't make too much of a dent in him at first, he doesn't hit overly hard if you move from his AoE. The one positive thing is we got a Fabled (Gold in game text color) shield for our cleric, so we were all happy.

-73© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide The last boss is Betrayer Icaronix who is a joke compared to RM. He folds like a wet noodle with even 3 DPS (Our SM was AFK while we killed him) and doesn't do much to fight back other than to summon level 45 (5 bubble) non elite adds, he also fears the tank (able to be dispelled) and that is about it. Sorry for any typos, hope this info helped and I just didn't go on a rant of uselessness.

The best exp is Greedy Pretor because they have very little HP, however they are only located in the lava that surrounds the upper middle fortress. Also keep doing Fire Temple runs; you can also start doing any Fortress Instance, provided your faction owns the Fortress on the lower Abyss. The Fortress Instance gives great AP, and Exp at level 36 - 40.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Note: The Blue Jewelry are extremely nice for Assassin, the quests are worth doing; it is just a real pain to obtain the Insignia.

Recommended Grind Spots: FIRST OF ALL TO DO YOUR XENOPHON's GOLD WEAPON QUEST. Level 40 Balaur are still good exp in the upper Abyss, however, starting at level 41 you'll not be going to Abyss a lot to grind as there aren't any mobs between level 40 - 50 in the Abyss. Kishar Village, Stenon Bay is another good spot. As for instances, you should start doing Steel Rake runs, and start running elite Balaur in Indratu Barracks or Lepharist groups for experience in Heiron. Also to do any Abyss fortress instance that you can. Available Instances: Fire Temple, Eracus Temple Cavern, Aetherogenetics Lab, Alquimia, and Azoturan Fortress.

The best mobs to grind on are the Virago Trappers, and Virago Poachers around Empyrean Lord Sanctuary in Theobomos.

At level 45 you are able to obtain 2 of your Advanced stigma quests to unlock 2 advanced stigma slots, and both quests require you to go to Steel Rake. However, Alquimia is still good exp, and at level 45 you can start running the beginning part of Draupnir Cave on the Asmodian side, if you can. You can also work on the Platinum Coin quest " Obstacle to Cultivation"; the Platinum Coins are traded in for Gold and Blue Weapons and Armors. You'll need 200 Coins for blue armor and 400 coins for a blue weapon, 1000 coins for gold armor and 2000 coins for a gold weapon.

[Group] Decimate the Roah Garrison - Hunt 10 Roah Fortress Garrisons

Level 46 - 47 Recommended Grind Spots: At level 46, you can still grind on Virago butthe exp isn't that great anymore, so you can head to Boarlands and hunt the level 48 Swamp/Toxic Ribbits or you can hunt Port Caryatid in the Alisary Coast Area. You can keep doing the Coin quests as the mobs are ranged from level 46 - 48. Keep doing Steel Rake for Advanced Stigma slot quests and for drops. You can also go deep into Indratu cave as there are many good drops off the world boss. I would do less Aetherogenetics unless you still need your level 42 Skill Book. You can also start doing Dredgion runs, just keep in mind that the exp in Dredgion isn't the best because you'll be doing a lot of pvp, but it is a lot of fun and a great way to earn Abyss Points.

[Group] Decimate the Kysis Garrison - Hunt 10 Kysis Fortress Garrisons

At level 46, you can also enter Theobomos Lab instance, but I don't recommend going until you are at least level 48 +, because the mobs hit really hard inside a.

you have completed the mission, then you'll no longer be able to access Theobomos Lab from the secret entrance.

Fort Instances: Sulfur Tree Nest, Right Wing Chamber, and Left Wing Chamber on the Lower Abyss, and Chamber of Roah, Krotan Chamber, Kysis Chamber, Asteria Chamber, and Miren Chamber on the Upper Abyss.

Because of the way Theobomos Lab is set up, once you who have completed the mission, you won't be able to go back and help those who still need to complete it. However, there is a way around this, if you're having a hard time finding a group to help you complete the mission. To get around the entrance issue, just have an Spirit Master in the group who can summon; they can summon the entire group to the front or the sewer entrance. It doesn't matter which, as long as you have a group, and then you can complete the mission.

At level 46, you'll have access to Dredgion, which is an PvPvE instance. This instance, in my opinion, is really fun if you enjoy PvP, and you do not lose ANY exp while inside the instance. The objective is to obtain as many points as you can for your team but when you die, you lose team points. You do not need to complete any quests to gain access to this instance, as long as the instance is open for sign up; you or your group can apply. However, there must be an a group of opposition faction that have also signed up in order to start the game. At 46, you'll also be able to gain access to Theobomos Lab, in Theobomos. In order to gain access to Theobomos Lab, you must have already obtained 4 Colored Orbs for the mission " Project Drakanhammer ".

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide PER RUN! HERE IS HOW:You can't obtain the quest in ENGLISH but you can in KOREAN!!! So here is what you do; grab your 5 scales and essence and head to the core, once you're there and in front of the Shugo that gives the quest (he should have a blue arrow on him) close your Aion cliently completely then go into your Aion folder and either move or rename the 1_enu.pak, and 2_enu.pak files. (Those 2 files are located in the L10N Folder, so normally it would be C:/NCsoft/Aion/L10N). Once you rename or move the file out of the L10N folder, start your Aion game again and ; the game should be in KOREAN! Accept and turn in the quest, and you have acquired the Time Activation Stone. Now just quit Aion again, rename or move the 2 files back to the L10N folder and start your Aion again; you're good to go! Greater Stigma Quest:

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Levels 1-10 I'm sure a lot of you would agree with me when I say I hate reading a guide that is filled with useless information. That is why I'm going to keep the Assassin leveling guide as simple and straight forward as I can, and at the same time get you to level 50 as fast as I can, to the best of my knowledge. 1.0 - Starting Out Warning: For level 1 to 10, at any point once you reach level 9 STOP what you`re doing and skip everything and begin reading 1.5 of this section. Before we get to actual quest and leveling outline, I just want to quickly mention to those who are starting new on Aion or has no experience with similar games, that it is a good idea to get use to the UI( interface), and all features of the game. As for UI I personally recommend the following option to be turned on. Under the Game Option tab click "Display Number on Status Bar' in the Status Bar section, then click "Show Extra Quickbar" 1,2, and optional 3 in the Interface section, finally scroll down to combat info section and check "Show distance to target" and "View Target's Target". Other UI options are option, play with the option see what suits you best. Now all that is out of the

way, let's get on to the actual leveling guide. Your very home in as an Asmodian in Aion will be Aldelle Plains, once you can move start out by talking to Asak he has a blue arrow on top of him, get the quest "On Your Feet!", head down the road and speak to Vandar to complete your first quest. Once you have completed your first quest do the following quest in the same area. From NPC Vandar: A Bloody Task - Hunt 4 Sprigg Workers [After A Bloody Task]The Sprigg Report - Deliver the report to Guheitun, follow the road North and you'll find Guheitun at a camp along the path. Once you've completed "The Sprigg Report" quest, you should be at a campsite just North of where you started, speak to Vanar(not Vandar) and grab the following quests from him: Meeting the Fruit Quota - Obtain 5 Fruit Baskets at the Spriggs camps. [After Sparkle and Shine]Sparkle and Shine Obtain 3 Glowing spheres by hunting Highland Sparkles. [After Meeting the Fruit Quota]Vanar′s Flattery - Deliver fruits to Tobu in Aldella Village. At this point you should be level 3. If you haven't reached level 3 yet, just kill a few more mobs until you hit level 3.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide TIP#1: While you're doing all your quests in Aldelle Basin, there are Azpha (plants on the ground) all over the area which can be gathered by double clicking. Keep the Azpha which you gather, since you will need it for a quest after. Also it is a good idea to keep collecting Azpha until you have at least 15 points of extracting/gathering skill, as it is required for a quest later. You don't have to collect only Azpha until 15 skill points; you can collect other stuff, I just prefer Azpha because it saves slots in your inventory and they sell well to other players later. Tip#2: Make use of your quest log menu by pushing the default key "J" which will guide you through most quests. In the quest log, you will see certain names or words highlighted in blue, click on them and use the locate function. It will help you find what the quest requires on the map (not in all quests, but the majority of the quests). Use this to guide you through most quests.

longer, but they can be more rewarding sometimes. Also I highly suggest you complete all mission quests, because once you reach level 50 you'll need them to be completed in order to begin your Fenris chain quests for your Fenris Armor. Fenris Armor are arguably the best PvE armors in the game for any class. You'll also obtain another quest call "A New Skill" when you enter the village, all you have to do for this quest is speak to the Scout trainer. Once you have gotten both automatically recieved quests out of the way, speak to Boromer, Nobekk, Bacorerk, Kaindal, and Urd for some new quests. The mission that you'll receive from Nobekk requires you to go to Munihele, you should save this quest for later. Missions: Thinking Ahead - Speak to Boromer to begin, obtain 4 Grain Sacks from Sprigg Village in Lake Tunapre area, report back to Boromer. Go and hunt 6 Sprigg Gathers, and report back to Boromer again for your rewards.

1.1 Aldelle Village & Tunapre Lake Once you have arrived at Aldelle Village, your first mission out of a series of Missions called "Captain's Orders" automatically starts. Missions are like quests except that they follow the storylines of Aion. They are usually harder than the regular quests, and a lot

The Search for Rae - Speak to Nobekk to begin, in Munihele Forest speak to Dabi located near the entrance of the forest, Dadi ask you to speak with Verdandi, follow the road South and you'll see a little house with fence around it she is standing outside. After speaking with Verandi, she ask you to go hunt 7 Whitefood Daru, do

-105© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide that and go back to Verandi, she then ask you to go collect 1 Spore Sac(Spore sacs look like mushroom that are growing out of trees look around the tree stumps to find them). Once you obtain 1 Spore sac go back to Verdandi again, she tells you about your , and then you have to find Rea out of a number of Ribbits. All the Ribbits look exactly the same, so to find Rea look for the one name "Cute Ribbit" instead of Ugly, there should only be one, once you find her speak to her, and then go back to Ulgorn at Aldella Village to get your rewards. Quests: [Gather]Azpha for Health and Wellbeing - Speak to Nobekk to begin, if you already have 10 Azpha, turn them in for your rewards. If you still need them, go and gather them, they are everywhere. The Shinier the Better - Speak with Bacorerk to begin, go and hunt Web Slinks for 5 Slink Oil. Idle Hands - Speak to Kaindal to begin, then report to Motgar at the Sap Farm around the Munihele Forest area. Urd′s Request - Speak to Urd to begin, go to Lake Tunapre, and hunt Blackbeak Airon for 6 Airon Breast Feathers. Once you obtained all of the above quests, head out to Lake Tunapre. In the area of the lake you'll see a small fishing

dock, and on the dock you'll see an NPOC name Bolir, speak to him and get the following quests. Love In Bloom - Speak to Bolir to begin. gather 6 Amepreh Flowers, if you don't know what they are look for purple flowers in the lake and click on them. [After Love in Bloon]For Love of Negi - Deliver the Ampreh Bonquest to Negi, who is located beside Bolir. Optional: Rolled Scroll - The quest starts after you obtain a "Rolled Scroll" which drops of Blackbeak Airons. The scroll drop rate is rare, so if you don't get it while hunting them for other quests, just move on. Double click the scroll to begin the quest, then go speak to Ulgron, and Linevir in the Aldella village. Tip #1: Once you arrive at Aldella Village, Soul Bind yourself to the Obliesk - it is a big green stone with wings. Once you are Soul bound to any particular town or camp, when you die you restart there. Tip#2: Buy more bandages at a General Goods Store. Use bandages to heal since they don't cost a lot. Tip#3: I really don't recommend buying any new weapons or armors until level 13, since you will acquire new equipment by quests or drops. However, if you really want to buy new weapons or armor, go ahead.

-106© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Skill Tip#1: Upon reaching level 3 talk to the scout trainer in Aldella Village to obtain your new Surprise Attack I skill. Surprise Attack I's only affect is to add additional damage if performed behind your enemy. Almost all enemies level 5 and below are non-aggressive, which means that you can use Surprise Attack I first, then go on and use Swift Edge etc. Skill Tip#2: To equip your new skills push "K" by default to bring up the skill list menu. Just drag and drop the new skills onto your quick bar. Complete all of the above quests except for the mission "The Search For Rae", then head back to Aldella Village and turn in all the quests and grab your rewards. Once you have turned in the previous quests, follow the path South-East until you have reached the Sap Farm also known as Munihele Forest. Once there you'll see a few NPC, speak to them a get the following quests. Token of a Lost Love - Speak to Dabi, hunt Arma Snuffler till you find a Shiny SIlver Ring(It can be rare). The Insect Problem - You can only get this quest from Motgar if you have completed "Idle Hands". Hunt 10 Gooey Sylphens, or Grove Sparkies. It really doesn't make much of a different which

you choose to hunt. Sap for Leather -You actually have to be level 5 to start this, so get to level 5 speak to Dabi, then just deliver something to Dalor back at the Village. Optional: The Lost Axe - You must obtain an item called "an Old Scroll" which drops off White Foot Daru. Double click the scroll to begin the quest, now you must head to the Daru Spring which is located South-East of Sap Farm. Once at the spring find an Iron Axe that is stuck in a big tree, click to and you'll go into the cut scene, watch it cause you'll have to in order to actually finish this quest. Once you're out of the cut scene speak to the old man Gunghelm in the lake and answer his 3 questions. To get the best reward answer as followed: Quick reminder while you're in the forest area you should work on "The Search For Rae", since it takes place there. Sap For Leather requires you to deliver a package to the armor smith in Aldella, but hold off on that until you have finished the other 2 quests. Once you have finished Token of a Lost Love, The Insect Problem, and the " Search For Rae" missions, then head back to Aldella Village and get your rewards. At this point you should be at least level 5, if you're not level 5 yet, I suggest you

-107© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide hunt mobs till you're. Once you have reach level 5 and back at the village, obtain a new quest from Dalor in Aldella Village. A Delivery Of Leather - Speak to Dalor to begin, deliver leather to Denma at Anturoon. Reminder: At level 5 you can get new skills, so visit the scout trainer to get your new skill books. If you have enough money, then grab your level 7 skill book while you're at it, as well. Once you have done all that, use the flight transporter and fly to Anturoon Sentry. 1.2 Anturoon Sentry Post & Ishalgen Prison Camp At Anturoon Sentry, turn in any quests you have from earlier, and get started on 2 new missions, and 3 new quests. At the campsite both Derot, and Mijou have new mission quests for you, and both mission quest send you in opposite directions. Also both missions have a second mission that follows it, so complete "Treasure of the Deceased" first, and save "Teaching A Lesson" for section 1.3 of this guide. IMPORTANT: Once at Anturoon Sentry to soul bind there! DON'T FORGET. Missions: Treasure of the Deceased - Speak to Derot to begin, go to Ishalgen Prison

Camp and hunt Vengeful Ghosts for 4 Treasure of Deceased, then return to Derot. Teaching A Lesson - Speak to Mijou to begin, go to Odella Plantation and collect 5 Odella from Fallen Gray Mane Sentinels, and bring them back to Mijou. Quests: Brax Skin Rug - Speak to Denma, hunt Brax for 8 Brax Skins. only Brax drops skins, and Brax Calf do not. Food Bandits - Speak to Mijou, go and hunt 9 Fanged Karnif's. Checking on a Friend - This quest actually requires you to be level 6, speak to Mijou to begin this quest, all you have to do is head towards Ishalgen Prison Camp till you find Ere. There is also a chain quest, 4 quests in total which require you to complete them in order, one after another. First quest starts from Derot called "Up to No Good"..... Up To No Good - Speak to Derot to begin, he'll ask you to find him a Pirate's Journal from Eyvindr Sailors and Peons, so head south and kill them until you obtain a Journal. Head back to Derot once you have the Journal. [After Up to No Good]A Cursed Opal - Speak to Derot, he'll ask you to deliver the Journal to Lidun, who is pretty much

-108© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide right beside him the Sentry Post. [After A Cursed Opal]Treasure Map - Speak to Lidun to begin, and he'll send you to the Pirate Ship to find a treasure map, the map is located on a ship which is south of the Post. Where you hunt Eyvindr keep heading south till you find a path that spiral downwards to a ship, hope on the ship and the map should be in the middle. There is only one map at a time, that means if another player was there before you and got the map you must wait for it to re-pop, which takes about 5 minutes. Bring the map back to Lidun to complete the quest. [After Treasure Map]Black Opal Speak to Lidun again, and he'll send you to retrieve the Black Opal in a Jewel Box, the Jewel box is located in a cave south of the post, and slightly east from the pirate ship. Be careful once you enter the cave as it is guarded by Carak, a level 8 boss mob. Open the box and get the Black Opan, then return to Lidun to receive your rewards. To solo him as an Assassin, first get some healing potions, food to boost Atk, and have Minor Secret Remedy of Life on your quick bar. Now go to the cave and clear everything expect for the boss mob. Use Hide, sneak up behind him and use Surprise Attack, then hit Focused Evasion followed by Counter Attack -> Swift Edge -> Soul Slash etc. If at any

point during the battle you need to heal, I suggest you use Secret Remedy of Life first because it's an instant 360 HP heal with a low cool-down time. However, if he's almost dead and you can take 2- 3 more hits, then use a regular potion, which you can buy at General goods shops. Tip#1: You should have the title "Raider Hero" at this point, so use it. To use titles push "P" by default and click the title tab in your character menu. Under the title tab select the title you want, in this case Raider Hero, and hit the Change Title button. Tip#2: Most mobs are aggressive around Anturoon Sentry. They can be a little hard for a level 5 - 6 Assassin, so be careful. Tip#3: For the quest Treasure Map, there are a lot of aggressive mobs on the way, but to make things easier just use Hide to get past them. Skill Tip: At level 5 you should have Hide I and Counterslash I while going against aggressive mobs. Many players I've seen like to go into stealth mode, then go behind the mob and use Surprise Attack. That is fine, but the cool-down for Hide is 1 Min, so this will slow you down. I suggest that when Hide is down, go up to the mob and use Swift Edge -> Soul Slash ->Focused Evasion, then use Counterslash to stun the mob. Once the mob is stunned, quickly go behind him and use Surprise

-109© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Attack since by this time you can reuse your Swift Edge -> Soul Slash. Personally I prefer this as opposed to the Hide and Surprise attack approach, but you can use both and alternate in between them. Now you can do the above quests in any order you like but I suggest you do it my way to reduce running time going back and forth. Of course you might or might not die, so just do the best you can and keep yourself alive using heal potions. First complete "A Brax Skin Rug", "Food Bandits", and "Up To No Good", because these quests are the closest to the campsite. After you have finished "Up To No Good", follow the chain quest and complete, but wait until level 8 to do "Black Opal". Now head to Ishalgen Prison Camp and complete the mission "Treasure of the Deceased", as well as " Checking on a Friend" by finding Ere right at the entrance of Prison Camp. Hopefully at this point, you are at least level 7 and can acquire a new quest from Jephani - he is a guard who walks up and down a path in Ishalgen. If not, skip this part and do it when you make your next trip there. Captain's Secret - Speak to Jephani to begin, collect 5 Sparkle Legs from Grave Sparkles, and 3 Ampha Thorns from Thorned Ampha.

Optional: Ashes To Ashes - To begin this quest you must first obtain "Silver Necklace" which drops of Vengeful Ghosts in Ishalgen Prison. Double click the necklace to start the quest, then speak to the Ghost of Prison Camp Sentinel he walks up and down the path, he'll ask you to find 3 Victim's Bones which are pretty much everywhere in the camp area. Once you obtain 3 bones go and cremate them at the incinerator, to find the incinerator, just follow the road north in Ishalgen Prison; it's on your right hand side by the ramp going up to Munin. After you've cremated the bones, head back to the sentinel and get your rewards. Once you completed Treasure of the Deceased, head back to Anturoon Sentry and get your reward. This will also trigger your next mission: [After Treasure of the Deceased]Charmed Cube - Derot wants you to go knock on Tombstones in the prison camp until a ghost appears, slay the ghost and bring the treasure back to Derot. Now you must take the Charmed Cube to Munin located at the most north end of the prison camp, hunt 3 Grave Sparkles, go back to Munin, finally go back to Derot for your rewards. Note: The tombstones are random; some will spawn the mob that will drop the cube you need for the quest, some won't, so

-110© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide keep trying until you get it. If you didn't finish "Captain's Secret" earlier, then do that now. Also, do it while you're doing Charmed Cube since it requires you to go speak with Munin, get a new quest from Munin called... The Imprisoned Gourmet - Find either Sparky egg, Ginseng root, or Methu's egg, depending on which ingredient you bring for Munin, the reward will be different. I suggest that you get Ginseng root for the Hat which drops of Dundun Farmer in Plantation. Now that you have the new quest, complete Charmed Cube and head back to Anturoon Sentry for your rewards. 1.3 Anturoon Crossing & Odella Plantation At this point you should still be at Anturoon sentry and should be level 8, if you're not level 8 yet, again get to level 8. Once you've reach level 8 speak to Mijou to and get a new quest in the Anturoon Sentry Post. The Robbery Plot - Speak to Mijou to begin the quest, fly to Aldelle Village and speak to Hephe, then fly back to Anturoon Sentry Post and head East following the roads, till you come across an NPC named Alfrigh at the Anturoon Crossing. At Anturoon Crossing you'll also meet Devalin, who is right beside Alfrigh,

speak to them both and they have 4 new quests for you. [Gather]Alfrigh′s Request - Speak to Alfright to begin, go to the Plantation and gather 5 Iron Ore. Keep in mind that you'll need at least 15p + skill in Vitality Skill to be able to successful extract Iron Ores. A Good Tonic - Speak to Alfrigh to begin, then go obtain 8 Dried Ginseng Root from Dundun Farmers, or Dundun Sentrys. As Much As You Can Carry - Speak to Deavlin to begin, collect 7 bottles of Odella Juice from Dundun Urns. The Urns are on the side or behind the huts. Pearls Before Swine - Speak to Deavlin to begin, collect 8 Mau Adomments from Gray Mane Fighters. Tip#1: Fallen Gray Mane Sentinels and Fighters hit hard, so make sure you have heal pots for them, just in case! They are not easy at all! Tip#2: The Grain sacks and the Odella Juice are usually side-by-side near most huts in Odella Plantation, and are usually guarded by at least 1 mob. I suggest doing the two quests that require getting them at the same time. Warning: Dundun Farmers, when at low health will call for help, and if they successfully call for help a Gray Mane Sentinel will be summoned, and attack you, so be careful.

-111© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide All of the above quests and missions are done in Odella Plantation, so do them all at once. However, once you've completed the mission "Teaching a Lesson", go back to Anturoon Sentry Post to get your reward. As a result, it will start the next mission: [Mission]Hit Them Where It Hurts Mijou wants you to go back to Plantation area, and gather 7 Mau Grain Sacks, they are usually in those huts. Return the sacks to Mijou, finally go all the way back to Aldelle Village and speak to Ulgorn. With everything above completed, it's time to fly back to Aldelle Village. 1.4 Dubaro Vine Canyon & Abyss Gate VERY IMPORTANT: Just a reminder once reach level level 9, You SHOULD skip everything and go to section 1.5 and complete your Ascension quest first. Because there is a level cap, which means you cannot level past 10 till you have completed your Ascension quest. Also the amount of experience you get from the Ascension quest is the amount of exp require for the entire level 9 to level 10. So because of the cap lock, any addition exp you gain after level 9 is wasted. Now that you're back at Aldella Village, don't forget to grab your level 9

skill books (even if you're not level 9), restock on bandages, potions, and food. Get a few healing potions, because you might need them later. After you've resupplied, speak to Ulgorn for your final mission "Where's Rae This Time?". [Mission]Where`s Rae This Time?- This mission can be hard! If can you find someone else to complete this mission with you, then party up. You'll be automatically given this mission once you have completed all other missions, first speak to Ulgorn at Aldelle village. He'll ask you to speak to Nobekk, then fly to Anturoon Sentry Post and speak to Derot. After head to Dubaro Vine Canyon and speak to Nalto, then head down the Canyon by using sneak if you're not grouped. Before you enter the Abyss Gate room to the left of the entrance you'll see Rae, speak to her, and she wants you to destroy 3 generators. First go left to deactivate the green generator, then go to the right side to deactivate the blue generator, and finally go up the ramp to the to deactivate the violet generator which is located right in front of the Abyss Gate. After you have destroyed all 3 generator you'll have to click the Abyss Gate and destroy it too. Here is the very IMPORTANT part do not forget to report to Rae after you have destroy the gate,

-112© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide then head all the way back to the village and report to Ulgorn for your rewards. While you're working on you final mission you'll run into Nalto as a part of the mission, he actually have a quest for you as well.... Suspicious Activity - Speak to Nalto to begin, defeat Hatata the Torturer, and his Gray Mane Guard Fighters. Tip: For the quest Suspicious Activity, you will need to kill Hatata the Torturer, who is a level 10 boss that spawns near the Abyss gate. He is hard to deal with if you're going solo as a level 9 Assassin. The hardest part is clearing the mobs around him because if you agro him; they all come. I suggest that you find a friend or a group for this quest, but if you can get him alone, which is hard, you can solo him. Just use the same method as you used on Carak Steeltooth, except in this case you will need to use potions for sure. Yes; I have done it solo. Complete all the quests and you should be more than half way through level 9!! 1.5 - The Ascension Quest & Daeva′s Ceremony The Ascension quest is automatically given to you once you reach level 9. This part is very very easy, just complete the Ascension quest, no killing require expect for the end but it's easy you won't fail. Once you completed the Ascension

quest don't forget to choose the path of an Assassin!!! then talk to Munin again to port up to Pandaemonium to complete "A Ceremony in Pandaemonium". Your now level 10!!! Do not worry once you port up to Pandaemonium, you're able to teleport back to Islalgen at any point to completed any quest you haven't yet. [Mission]Ascension - Reach level 9 to acquire the quest, speak to Munin, Get a card from Urd speak to back at the village. After go speak to Verdandi in Munihele Forest, then speak to Skuld located just South of Anturoon Sentry Post. Finally go back to Munin, and he ports back in time to Ataxiar, in Ataxiar Speak to Hagen, then hunt 4 Guardian Assassin, and Brigade General Hellion. Once you have successfully defeated Hellion, Munin appears in front of you, speak to him again and pick "Assassin". [Mission]A Ceremony in Pandaemonium - After you completed Ascesion mission, speak to Munin again, and pick "yes I'm ready to teleport to Pandaemonium", speak to Heimdall in Pandaemonium, then Balder inside the Great Temple of Pandaemonium, finally meet your the Scout trainer to receive your rewards. Note: you must complete this to move level 10.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Levels 10-20 From here on, the rate at which you'll level may vary depending on the number of deaths you have, your speed of killing, and whether you just run past the mobs or kill them on your way to quest areas. I'm going to give you a basic outline for which quests to look for and where to go.

Once you are level 10 you should be at Pandaemonium, which is the capital city for Asmodian. Look around and get familiar with the city. Since you are there, you should have completed Daeva′s Ceremony mission and have acquired new weapons from the mission. I personally recommend getting a sword instead of dagger, but ultimately it doesn't really matter.

Once you reached level 10 and arrive at Pandaemonium, you can pick up crafting professions. Each crafting profession has a quest and work orders. Whichever crafting profession you choose is fine, but I would recommend Tailor for your leather armors, and Weapon smith for your weapons. However it is widely known that Handicraft makes the money, and Alchemy and Cook are easy with an average income.

Tip#1: ; at level 10 you can purchase new skills. They are really useful skills so don't forget to get them from the Scout Master.

I also want to mention that from here on many quests are Gather quests, which means that in order to complete those quests you have to gather a certain amount of materials. If you decided to level up your gathering skill, it will take longer for you to actually level, for obvious reasons. But if you chose not to level up your gathering skill you can still do all of the quests, you will just have to purchase the items from other players.

Tip#4: It is a good idea to expand your inventory slots, if you haven't yet. You can do that at the Cube Artisan in Temple of Gold; you'll pay a little more to add 10 extra slots to your inventory. You can expand your cube and warehouse space many times, however it'll cost more every time you do it.

1.0 Pandaemonian

Tip#2: At level 20 you'll get Herb Treatment I for both mana and HP, so you no longer need to use Bandages. Tip#3: You'll have access to the Warehouse (Bank) store for any materials that you don't need to use right now, so you can free up space in your inventory.

Tip#5: If you wish to upgrade any part of your armor or weapons, you can do it now. Check the Trade Broker for other new equipment. Trade Brokers are also

-114© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide located in the Temple of Gold, and every major city other then Ishalgn; it is a system to allow easy trading between players. Browse the market and find some new gear. NOTE: I don't recommend that you get any new gear until at least level 13. If you do wish to purchase new gear at level 10; get the level 13 green gear, and not the level 7 gear. Tip#6: Do not bind in Pandaemonium.

1.1 Altgard & Moslan Forest Once you have arrived at Altgard, turn in the two missions you acquired at Pandaemonium, and start grabbing new quests, because there are a ton of them. Mission Fungus Among Us - Note: Boarder is on the rocks that surround the Abyss gate above the town so you have to fly to get to him. The Abyss gate is the glowing blue gate on top of the town.

I hope you have read all the tips above. I know they are basic, but they're also important. Once you've got a handle of the new features, it's time to complete a few new Missions and Quests in Pandaemonium.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Uncle, and Groken's Escape. Once you obtain the quest Manir's Message, head to Basfell Village. Tip#1: When you're overloaded with items and materials; it's a good idea to head back to town to clean up your inventory, and restock any potions or Lesser Odella Powders . Tip#2: Most missions are continuous, which means you must turn in the mission more than just once, so to go back and update them. Gathering Tip #1: In Moslan Forest, there are a lot of Iron Ore, Azpha, and Tikel Fiber. If you decide to work on your gather skill, gather those materials as much as possible until you cannot gain skills from them. They are highly required crafting materials. 1.2 Basfell Village & Surrounding Areas At Basfell Village, update the Scout it Out mission from earlier and go complete it. At this point you should be around level 13; if not, continue with quests or kill a few mobs until you are. If you are already level 13, then use the flight teleport to go back to Altgard, and then to Pandaemonium to get your level 13 skills. Also, to turn in your Arekedil's Heritage quest from earlier. Note: The reward from Arekedil's Heritage is an Ornate Jewelry box.

Double click the box to obtain a new quest called: Deep Maternal Love Head back to Altgard to turn in Deep Maternal Love, then head to Basfell Village again. Once you come back to Basfell Village from Pandaemonium, obtain all the new quests and missions there. You might want to soul bind at Basfell as well. Mission: Fear This Quests: Lamir's New Clothes - Note: I recommend doing this once you have a bow, which you should have obtained from the mission "Fear This." The young Mosbear is always together with an adult Mosbear. The way to get them solo, is to hit the young Mosbear with your arrows, and slowly run back while you keep hitting the young bear until the adult Mosbear loses agro or backs off. A Mythical Monster - Note: depending on your level and gear, he can be hard. Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is - Note: this is a timed quest, so once you get it, immediately go and do it. Rampaging Mosbears - The second part of this quest requires that you kill a level 17 boss Mosbear. He is not too hard, but he isn't easy either. to use

Black Claw Outpost is not a good place for this quest unless you are going for the group quest anyway. You can easily solo them at Black Claw Village. Okay, now that you have loads of new quests and missions to do, if you cannot get a group for the group quests just skip them and do every other quest you can there. After completing the quests and missions, head to Calderon Hill and to the Altgard Observatory. At the observatory, turn in any quests you have and obtain the following quests: Reasoning A Monster in a Box Neifenmer's Reasoning [After Neifenmer's Creating a Delay Chain -

Tip:#1: At any point once you reach level 19, you will automatically receive a new mission called Morheim Commender's Call, which is the starting of your next series of missions which takes place in Morhiem. I don't recommend going there until you are level 20. 1.5 Trader's Berth & Impetusium Once you have done all of the quests at Calderon Hill, and regardless of whether you completed any of the group quests; fly back to Trader's Berth and do the new quests there, which requires that you be at least level 17 to be able to obtain them. Quest: Securing the Supply Route Chasing the Legend - Note: Once you click on the pile of bones, a giant snake boss will appear. He hits pretty hard, so be careful. You do not need a group for this quest. Securing the Trade Route -

-120© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Completing the quest above will lead you to Impetusium. At Impetusium, you'll be able to obtain some of your last few quests for the Altgard Zones. Tip#1: Impetusium is a fly-enabled zone, which mean you can fly. Some of the quest NPCs are on the top of the tower, and you need to fly to get to them. Mission: Reconstructing Impetusium - Note: The Bone Piece only drops from Black Claw Elite Bodyguard, which is a level 18 - 19 elite mob. You cannot solo them, however you can dual with a cleric or chanter. Note: The Boss Ghost Mob for the second part of the Impetusium quest is pretty easy to solo, so don't be alarmed. Quests: Disgruntled Workers Rebuilding the Pillar Soul Essence Rebuilding the Pillar -

If you haven't completed all of the previous missions in Altgard then skip this section, but if you have completed all of the previous missions you should have the level 20 mission. Tip#1: If you're not level 19 or 20 by now, please read the above recommended grind areas and get to level 20. If you don't want to grind, then you can always head to Theobomos, or Eltnen and do the level 19 quests. Those quests will be covered in the 20 - 30 guide section, but I really recommend that you get to level 20 before you go anywhere else. Crushing the Conspiracy - First speak to Suthran, and then head to Zemurru's Grave and destroy the Abyss gate. There are two ways to get to Zemmrru's Grave, the hard way is to fight your way there through Blackclaw Village with a group, or you can jump off the very South-western corner in Blackclaw village and go around under water. Keep in mind that you take damage when you are underwater, so to keep yourself alive, try to hug the walls of the cliffs as much as you can.

Once you are safe and alive, head to the gate. Once you are

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide inside a gate, use a bow to pick off the Balaurs one by one and then kill the boss (which is really easy) and destroy the Abyss gate.

8) Go back to Moari and report what happened.

IMPORTANT: Even if you want to do this mission solo, you must be in a group to go into the Abyss gate instantly.

10) Speak to Orphe in the same place to get your reward. By the way, he is the NPC that you will go to when you want to equip or remove Stigmas from now on.

No Escaping Destiny - This is your Stigma quest, from this point on you can equip stigmas 1) Speak to Jucleas in Lyceum Sanctum to start the quest.

9) Go to Lavirintos in Protectos Hall in Sanctum.

Now you should have 300 Stigma Shards, and the Sigil Strike Stigma skill. Equip the skill since you'll need it from level 20 - 28.

2) Speak to Ludina in the Outer Dock. To get to the Outer Dock you must take an Airship to get there. It is located in the middle part of Sanctum where it's marked "Airship Dock." It's on the west side near the "k".

Read the level 20 - 30 guide from here on.

3) Head to Veteron Holy Ground and speak with Morai.

You're now level 20, and here is where the game really begins. Three more new zones have opened up to you; they are Morheim, Brusthonin, and Belusland. However, you'll only be leveling in Morheim and Brusthonin since Beluslan is for level 30 +.

4) At the same place, speak to Icaronix 5) Double click the box Icaronix gives you. 6) Now you're in this unknown place. Speak to Ecus and follow his directions. 7) Next, you're going to learn how to equip stigma and defeat a Spectre. To use the stigma, go to your skill menu; it's there just like a regular skill. Use the stigma skill given to you to kill the Spectre. It does 1000+ damage to him.

Levels 20-30

Once you have reached level 19 - 20 in Altgard, you're actually automatically given quests and a mission that will direct you to Morheim; which is the new major town. Your experience in Morheim will be very different than what you had previously in Altgard and Ishalgen. Morheim is the biggest zone you going to

-122© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide come by for now; it covers from level 20 - 40, and it is also your first PvPvE zone. What is a PvPvE zone? Well, in Morheim you not only interact with the environment, you also have a chance to do PvP (player verse player). In Morheim there is a system called Rift. Rift appears every 2 hours game time, which is about 40 minute in real time. There are always two rifts which appear at the same time in different areas of Morheim; one rift allows you to travel to Elysea to PvP or complete your Spy quests. The other rift allows the Elyos to come to Morheim. So, you not only have to watch out for NPC mobs, but also other players that might want to kill you. Tip#1: There are level restrictions and a number of uses for each rift; the rift closer to the town of Morheim has a level cap of 30, and a usage of 16; which means 16 players can use the rift to go to Elysea. The rift at higher level areas will have higher level caps and more usages. Tip#2: Always bring a Kisk when you're planning to go rifting; either solo or with a group. If you don't have the money for a Kisk, make sure someone in your group has one. Once you rift over to Elysea, in this case Eltnen in particular, if you die you'll return to Morheim and probably will have to find another Rift, which is hard to do at times. With a Kisk, if you die you go right back to where you

or your group placed the Kisk. Tip#3: If you're planning to go rifting then be prepared; bring resurrection stones, potions, etc. There will be many more Elyos in their own land, than the number of people rifting there. While Ishalgen and Altgard have pretty linear quests lines, once you reach level 20, the way you level will be very different. You'll be going back and forth between Pandaemonium, Brusthonin, and Morheim. When I was writing this part of the guide, I was thinking about how I can make the best out of this guide; giving you the most value out of it. The truth is that if I just give a quest by quest guide line, I know you'll run out of quests by level 24 and then you will be stuck. I'm going to split the guide for every level; what quests are available for that level, which quests I recommend doing, and where the best place to level is when you've done the quests. I also want to put some general rules in here for those of you who want to get to level 50 as fast as possible. For those who play casually; just do what you can with the quests and have fun. I can't promise you that you'll get to level 50 in 3 day with this approach, but I can say that I have personally reached level 30 twice as an Assassin in both Closed and Open Beta, and level 40 in Chinese Aion. I have out-leveled someone in my legion who

-123© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide was level 20 when I was level 4, and when I reached level 25 he was only 24, and he plays a good amount of time per day too. Playing Time: it is important but it's only a part of how fast you can level; it really depends on what you do with the time. I it I personally play a lot more than most people, but you don't have to play all day long to level fast; you need to know how to make the time you do spent on Aion count. So here are my rules: Rule #1: Do not waste time on things that doesn't help you level; e.g. pvp, rifting, crafting, dueling. Rule #2: Only do quests that are your level or below. Rule #3: Know that questing is not always the best way to level, it can actually slow you down. Rule #4: When grinding after level 20, only grind on mobs that are your level, one level lower, or one lever higher than you. Rule#5: Always have healing potions, and use Odella to heal. One of the biggest problem when people are trying to level fast is that they are experience hungry. They exhaust all the quests they have and when they don't have any more quests, they spend hours looking for new ones. If you finish all

your quests and missions that are 5, 6 , 7 levels higher then you, then I ensure you that you'll run out quests. NEVER, NEVER try to complete quests or missions 4 + level higher than you. Another thing that people tend to do is that they like to kill mobs that are 3 to 4 levels higher than them so they can gain a lot of experience per kill. The problem with that is that mobs that are high level than you will usually hit harder, and have higher amount of HP so it will take longer to kill. Using this method will actually slow down your leveling speed. IMPORTANT: If you cannot find any of these quests, do not worry about it, since some quests are not 100% confirmed yet. With all that out of the way let's get back to the leveling guide.

Level 20 to 21 Once you reach level 20, you'll still have a good amount of quests from either Morheim, or Brustonin. There are many quests that are gathering quests, and all of which require level 100 + gathering. If you don't have any gathering skill then skip these for now, or you can buy the material from other players.

-124© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Tip#1: At level 20 you can start equipping Stigma skills, so it's time to keep an eye out for some key Stigma needed for PvP. Flurry, Aethertwisting, and Ambush I are the 3 Stigma that you should look out for; if you see other players selling them on Trade Broker then get them at a reasonable price. The price may vary depending on the server and when you started to play the game. You do not need to equip the stigma once you have them; for more details on Stigma, read the pvp section of this guide. Recommended Grinding Spots: In Morheim you can grind on Ice Lake Pluma, Ice Slink, and maybe the Frost Crasaur just around Morheim Fortress. Frost Crasuar aren't generally recommended since they have high HP and take longer to kill, but if you want to you can kill them. You can also grind, just outside Morheim, on any level 21 Tayga or Ruthless Worg. In Brusthonin, you can grind on any mobs there, except for Infected Kurin, Coast Starturtle, and Laggardly Snuffler. Try to avoid Infected Kurin; they have high HP and they always stun. The best mobs to grind on in Brusthonin at level 20 - 21 are Poison Wing Vespine. They are located around any big trees, they drop level 20 Stigmas and are easy to kill. The only problem with Poison Wing

Vespine are that the spawns are far away, which means you need to run around. Available Quests: Morheim Quests: [Gather] Teleporter Troubles - Gather 15 Aether Crystal. Bringing up Tayga - Purra is a small white tiger who spawns randomly on top of one of the buildings Frenai's Lost Jewelry - Obtain 1 Opal Necklace, 1 Sapphire Ring, 2 Pearl Earrings.

[After Missing Laborers] The Elyos of Brusthonin - Collect 10 Elyos Marks by killing Guardian Outriders or Guardian Fighters. The Ikelus Manhunt - Kill Centurion Ikelus Note: You'll Acquire Protector of Brusthonin after completing The Ikelus Manhunt, this is a very good title for Assassin, Atk + 2 and Phy Crit + 3

I personally think that level 25 is truly the beginning of Aion. If you had fun before level 25, you will have a lot more fun after level 25. At level 25 you'll leave Brusthonin, as it is designed for level 20 25, and 45 - 50. So once you reach level 45 you will return to Brusthonin, but until then there are no more new quests . However, there is a whole new zone open to you at level 25; Abyss. Abyss is the only zone in Aion which is shared by all 3 factions; Elyos, Asmodians, and Balaurs, which makes it a very unique environment to play in. It is also the only zone in which flying is enabled everywhere, making it possible to have aerial PvP. Unlike Eltnen and Morheim, where you must find a rift in order to really pvp; in Abyss it is an open PvP zone for both Elyos and Asmodian, so be careful when you're leveling. The open pvp environment is not the only unique feature that Abyss has; all Fortress Sieges are located in Abyss. All quests and missions gives AP (Abyss Points) as part of the rewards. All mobs in Abyss drops stigma shards, and gives AP for killing them. You also gain more experience per mob that you kill than in regular zones due to the PvPvE nature of Abyss.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide You do not gain access automatically once you reach level 25. In order to gain access to Abyss at level 25, you must complete a series of missions which automatically start upon reaching level 25. Following are the 4 missions to gain access to Abyss; they are pretty easy.

Honing Your Skills - Speak to a Few People

Before we get to the available quest section of this level, I just want to remind you that at level 25 you'll acquire your new skills. At the same time, you'll acquire a new quest called Thialfi's Recommendation; grab it and complete it.

Abyss General Knowledge - Take an Abyss knowledge test. Note: Don't worry if you get the answer wrong, just keep clicking until you get the right answer. While you are in the Temple of Knowledge doing the Abyss General Knowledge Mission, don't forget to pick up the Secret Library Access quest from Obliete. You'll need this quest to finish another later. Following Through - You have 3 choices; Morheim ,Triniel Coliseum, or Elsean, I recommend Morheim; it will ask you to go to Morheim and kill 3 Guzzling Kurin, 3 Dark Lake Spirits, and 3 Klaw Scouts. The Last Checkpoint - Flying Test. IMPORTANT: Watch the video carefully so you know your flight path, because you only have a very limited amount of time to complete the test. Once you've completed all Abyss Access missions, you can head to Abyss. To get to the Abyss, just fly up to the

The Governor's Summons - Meet Votan; this mission starts your series of Abyss missions.

Thialfi's Recommendation - This quest will lead you to Sigyn, where you will buy your new skill books from now on. Recommended Grinding Spots: At level 25, since you have gained access to the abyss, I recommend grinding only in the Abyss and nowhere else. The best mobs to grind on are the level 26 Balaurs (Draconute Flamecrest, and Draconute Flamehorn) because they are located right outside the Asmodian Fortress, and they give really good experience. If you ask me, I would grind Balaurs all the way to level 35, because they drop Draconute material which are required for level 40 + unique weapon and armor crafting. They are usually in high demand, and they sell for very good money to other players. That being said, however, Balaur aren't the best mobs for fast experience. If you

-131© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide really want to level fast, you can grind on Soul Reapers. If you don't like to PvP, and hate to be killed while leveling, you should just grind in Morheim. The best place to grind is Musphel Gate; you can kill Nimble Maeki, Black Mask Spiners, and Klaw Scouters out of Taran's Cavern; just try to avoid Ruby Keraton. Note: You really don't need to grind level 25, there are so many quests and missions, it is a give-away level. Tip#1: to equip your Stigma skill Ambush I at level 25, if you have it. Available Quests:

Level 26 - 27 Recommended Grinding Spots: Other then grinding on the Balaurs, depending on which faction is guardian the area, Life Reapers are probably the best mob to grind at level 26. Life Reapers are located on Wings of Siel Archipelago.

Do NOT attempt to fly into the core from the island as it is protected by a magma shield and kills you instantly. to carry fly remedy potions with you, because it is a long fly to the island.

Once you have collected all 5 pieces of the set, you can obtain a Daevanion weapon. This is a super-amazing level 30 blue weapon. Note: The Daevanion are not tradable, and cannot be stored in the legion warehouse. Also, you can only do the Daevanion Armor quest once. If you want to have the complete level 30 Daevanion armor set, you can either create 5 different characters and do the quest 5 times, or you can find them as drops in the Upper Abyss, but they are very, very rare drops.

As for Sky Temple, you must be on the mission "The Three Keys" to enter the instances, however it is not worth doing unless you are working on the mission.

Level 30 - 31 Recommend Grind Spots: If you like Abyss grinding, then the upper abyss is where you should go. Near the North side of Lake Asteria, grind on the level 31 Immortal Pluma. If you do choose to grind in the Abyss, to always bring a kisk and use it near the guard posts; that way if you do die to Elyos you can respawn at the kisk and don't have to fly all the way back. If you do a lot of grinding, you'll realize the money for the kisk will be easily covered. If you don't like to grind in Abyss, you can go to Beluslan just outside of the fortress. Hunt any mob outside; they are good experience. However the best exp

Level 32 - 33 Available Instances: Fire Temple, Sulfur Tree Nest, Right Wing Chamber, Left Wing Chamber, Sky Temple. Recommend Grind Spots: Once you hit level 32 you have a choice for Abyss grinding, you can still hunt Pluma, which won't give such great exp, or you can go to Sword Island to hunt level 33 Balaurs. The best experience for now is on the Sword Island. However, because it is such a popular place for both Elyos and Asmodian to level, there is a lot of pvp. If you don't mind the pvp, it is the best experience at this level. As for Morheim and Beluslan, there really aren't many great grinding spots, but you can always kill any mob around your level. From level 32 onward, you can always start doing Fire Temple runs for missions, quests and xp. Also, the end boss in the temple drops the level 35 Gold sword and dagger. These are really nice weapons to have, so I recommend that you start doing Fire Temple runs.

Level 46 - 47 Recommended Grind Spots: At level 46 you can still grind on Undeads, however the exp isn't that great anymore. Instead, you should head to Lollu Hills and hunt the level 48 Fierce Pecku. You can also keep doing the Coin quest as the mobs range from level 46 - 48 for the coin quests. Keep doing Steel rake for Advanced Stigma slot quests and for drops. I would start doing a lot of Draupnir Cave runs at level 46 as the item drops in Draupnir are really good and they drop more often. I would do less Alquimia unless you still need your level 42 Skill Book. You can also start doing Dredgion runs, but keep in mind that the exp in Dredgion isn't the best because you'll be doing a lot of pvp. It is, however, a lot of fun and great way to earn Abyss Points. At level 46 you can also enter a Stronghold instance, but I don't recommend going until you are at least level 48 +, because the mobs hit really hard inside a. Available Instances: Fire Temple, Sky Temple, Steel Rake, Alquimia, and

Draupnir Cave. Fort Instances: Sulfur Tree Nest, Right Wing Chamber and Left Wing Chamber on the Lower Abyss, and Chamber of Roah, Krotan Chamber, Kysis Chamber, Asteria Chamber and Miren Chamber on the Upper Abyss. At level 46 you'll have access to Dredgion, which is an PvPvE instance. This instance, in my opinion, is really fun if you enjoy PvP. You also do not loss ANY exp while inside the instance. The objective is to obtain as many points as you can for your team, however if you die you'll loss team points. You do not need to complete any quest to gain access to this instance; as long as the instance is open for sign up, you or your group can apply. However there must be a group of the opposing faction that have also signed up in order to start the game. At level 46 you'll be able to gain access to a Stronghold, in Brusthonin. In order to gain access to a, you must have already obtained 3 Spirit Drops for the mission "The Secret of a Stronghold". However having to obtain 3 Spirit Drops will only allow you to enter a from the secret sewer entrance from Old Nahor Castle. In order to gain front entrance access for a you must complete the mission "The Secret of a Stronghold". Once you have completed the mission, you'll no longer to be able to

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide access a from the sewer entrance. Because of the way a is setup, those who have completed the mission won't be able to go back and help those who haven't. However, there is a way around this if you're having a hard time finding a group to help you complete the mission. To get around the entrance issue, just have an Spirit Master in the group who can summon; they can summon the entire group to the front or the sewer entrance. It doesn't matter which; as long as you have a group, you can complete the mission. Brusthonin :

They are located near the front entrance of a Stronghold; if you don't know where it is, it is the castle on the South-West corner of the Brusthonin Map. The Undead are really good exp at 47, however you also have a new coin quest at level 47 "[Coin] For the Future Settlers" that requires you to hunt Rocky Back Ksellids, Crown Ksellids, and Stone Scale Kalgolems for Black Crystals. Both Ksellids are not worth killing; they have lots of HP and take a long time to kill. However the level

-170© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide 48 - 49 Kalgolems are the easiest mob anywhere to hunt!! They die really fast and they don't even hurt you at all, so you don't need to heal!! The only problem with Kalgolems is that there isn't a spot with a pile of them, so you must find a routine where you can hunt them in a circle; that is what I personally did from level 47 - 50. The good thing about grinding this way is that every time you turn in the Coin quest you get an extra 250k exp plus Coins and Demon Eyes, which sell for good money.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Cost DP 2000

Attack decreases by 50%.

Strike of Darkness does more damage, but Divine Strike for the Elyos recovers your HP (Health Points). Which is better? Hard to say, it is a DP skill, so it requires 2000 DP just to be able to use the skill, Earlier on in the game it'll take some time to raise your DP to 2000, however at a higher level there are consumable food items that recover your DP by 2000 and 4000. The 582 HP recovery aspect of the skill is pretty handy, and on the other hand Strike of Darkness does a little more damage and makes killing the mobs faster.

Raid Posture Vs. Alert Posture Raid Posture I (Asmodian) Increases your Physical Attack by 100% and decreases your Evasion and Magical Resistance by 50% and 500% respectively for 10 sec. Target Self

Target Self Cool-time 600 Cost MP 42 Now these two skills are on the hot topic list, they've been discussed almost to death. Elyos gets Alert Posture, which allows you to block any magical attack twice within 10 sec with a penalty of a 50% decrease in your attack. Raid Posture increases your attack by 100%, while decreasing your magical resistance and evasion. A lot of players favor Raid Posture, because it gives the Assassin a 100% attack increase, however there is a lot of talk about whether it actually effects just normal attacks or skill based attacks as well. I'm not an avid fan of Elyos, I personally play an Asmodian Assassin, but don't underestimate Alert Posture. The Assassin relies on speed, damage, and timing, so it is crucial during pvp for an Assassin to time his or her attacks and part of that can be just running around until the moment is right. Having an extract skill to dodge or block your opponents magical attack twice can really buy you some time.

Equipment

Level 1 - 10

- Recommended Equipment - Recommended Accessories

Recommended Equipment For the Recommended Equipment section of this guide will be sorted by level range, then Elyos/Asmodian Armor and Weapon. Keep in mind that there are many choices of armors, everything in this guide is only my personal recommendation and should not be considered "law" .

Level 1 - 10 is really simple in- of the equipment you should have; my opinion is that you do not need to care about gear in this level range, because it only takes an average of 2 hours to 2 and half hours to rip through level 1 to 10; it is way too fast to care. So get any armor that you can from quest/drops like the Cliona/Aldelle leather armors; if you don't get them it's no big deal, just stick with what you have.

Level 11 - 20 Now from level 11 to level 20 is not going to be as fast as the first 10 levels, but in my opinion gear still doesn't matter in this level range; use whatever you get from quests/drops. Usually, unless you have very bad luck, you should obtain some green leather armor/weapon to use. Also the level 10 quest reward, the green Dagger/Sword, is very good, I personally recommend the dagger. Although there are many choices of armor and weapons, and some of them come with different stats. The only stats you should look for on Armors are HP, DEF, and Evasion, HP being the most important, as for the Weapon; Physical Crit, Attack, and HP. Again, if you don't find any drops or craft anything during these 10 levels it's no big deal, just use what you have from quests. Elyos:

items as they offer better stats and more sockets. Also there are many green swords and daggers (Imfamous, Mirage, Etc..) that I have not mentioned in this guide. They are easy to obtain, and you will probably get one as a drop, however they come with random stats. So if you do want to obtain them as a weapon, make sure they have at least Physical Crit, Attack, or HP on them; the crit and Attack being the most important. Elyos

Many players like to gear up around this level range, I personally still believe that going through level 21 to 30 is still a little too fast to waste money on gearing up. However, that being said, after level 20 it is a good idea to have some decent armor as it will help you grind/level up faster. Once you're in your twenties, you'll begin to see Blue/Gold armor/weapon drops and crafted. Ideally you will want to have a full set of Gold as that has the best stats, but the problem is at level 20, unless you have a lot of money already, you would have a hard time getting Gold armors/weapons. So it is best to stick with green and blue armors/weapons. Another thing is that at level 20 + you will really want to stop wearing white gear, or gear with a single manastone socket; you should aim for green/blue

Abyss Armor/Weapon: At level 30, Abyss gear becomes available to you. In order to obtain Abyss gear, you must first acquire a good amount of Abyss points, then you can use those points to purchase Abyss gear; at the Abyss Shop NPC in either Pandaemonium, Sanctum, or Reshanta. Note: Abyss points are earned by killing the opposite faction players, and all mobs and quests in the Abyss give Abyss points.

Level 31 - 40 After level 30 it gets chaotic; the choices of weapon, and armors has become vast. Most of them are crap and useless, so I'm only going to mention the worthwhile item in this sections. Now after level 30 you should really be only acquiring at least Blue items or better as upgrades, but not everyone is able to afford blue upgrades. So if you happen to get green, use them for now, just make sure they have the stats I mentioned above. For Armor: HP, DEF, Evasion, HP being the most important. Leather Shoes should have running speed on them, Leather Gloves should have attack speed on them (not that important yet but it helps), and finally Leather Pauldrons should have +Attack on them. For Weapon: HP, Attack, Physical Crit, and Attack Speed. Now HP on a weapon is pretty important, but when it comes to +Attack, and Physical Crit, it really depends on the weapon.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Level 41 -50 As you're approaching the end of Aion or level 50, your gear becomes more and more important. Once you have reached the max level 50, gearing up becomes what Aion is about. You will spend hours, days, and even months just to obtain the best gear for your character. From level 40 on, the amount of weapon/armor choices will become overwhelming, but it actually becomes easier to choose how to gear your Assassin. You'll realize that many players tend to go for the same, or similar, gear at this level range. It is no surprise really; now that you have played your Assassin for a good amount of time, you've become more familiar with what are good stats for your character to have. So much blue/gold gear will be useless because it does not have the right stats, and you shouldn't even consider getting green gear as an upgrade unless you happen to get them as drops or quest items (So I won't list any green gear for this section). Also, as you get past level 46, you really don't even want blue gear unless they have really good stats. So what should you look for in gear at this level? For Armor - everything I listed in the 31 - 40 section, and in my opinion HP is still the most important

thing to have on Armor. For Shoes, you must have running Speed 22%, look for Gloves which increase attack speed 6%-8%, and Pauldrons/Belts with increase attack. A few other stats to look out for at this level range are Magic Resist and Flight speed for PvP. As for Weapons - at least one of your weapons should have at least 18% - 19% attack speed, and the usual +HP, Attack, and Crit.

Belts are a lot like the jewelries; however the main difference is that instead of Physical Crit, you want increase Attack on your belts. So you would want HP and Attack on your belt; other stats are Flight time, Accuracy, Evasion, and Parry. Some good examples of Belts are:

When it comes to Helms it's a little tricky, because you can wear any type of helmet; cloth, leather, chain, and plate. So usually you'll end up with leather helmets, for obvious reasons. Here are some stats to look for on a helmet. Again HP being the most important, then Physical Def, Magic Resist, and Evasion, other optional stats are Accuracy, Parry, and Flight Speed/Time. Helmet is hard to choose because Plate helmet has good Def, Chain has good magic resist, and leather/cloth has good HP and Evasion. I have some helmets that I highly recommend:

PvP Strategies - PvP as a Assassin

PvP as a Assassin PvP is the Assassin's specialty in Aion. You, personally, might not be on the Top 10 of the PvP ranks on your server, but you can bet that there are at least a few Assassins on the list. It is widely known that the Assassin, as a class, is usually on the top 3 PvP rank list. Assassin might be a great class for pvp but, in my opinion, they are also one of the hardest to control/master in pvp. Cleric, Chanter, Templar and Gladiator all wear heavy armor, allowing them to take less damage, which means that during close combat they will live longer. On the other hand, Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer and Spiritmaster are all squishy classes; they wear leather and cloth so they have low defense, and can't take much damage. Furthermore, none of the 4 classes are meant to take damage, and the Assassin is the only class out of the 4 that isn't ranged.

To PvP as a Sorcerer, Spiritmaster or Ranger, basically all you have to do is keep your enemy as far away from you as possible, and take as little damage as possible, while doing massive damage to them. That doesn't apply to the Assassin; the goal in PvP as an Assassin is to be able to get next to your opponents and kill them before they kill you. This is why it is so important for an Assassin player to really know his own skills, and his opponents' skills. The Assassin relies on speed, damage and stun so that in PvP versus any class, an Assassin can go behind their opponent by using Hide, then kill their opponent with one swift combo before they can even react. The idea is to keep your enemy stunned and immobilized, but that could be hard to accomplish sometimes. Basically you need to put in hard work and preparation. You must study your opponents' skills and tactics. You need to know when to attack, when to run, and when to use your stuns. An Assassin must react quickly to any changes in their opponents PvP style, so you must prepare ahead of time. Preparation for PvP As an Assassin, preparation for pvp includes tweaking your UI, and getting the right consumable items. UI

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Assassin PvP - Level 1 - 28 For any class - not just Assassin - in Aion, for the first 20 levels you really shouldn't do any pvp at all. You can't rift yet, and you can't go to Abyss until you are level 25, so there are no human players to fight. The only way you can PvP is to challenge someone to a duel. I really don't recommend dueling at low level, because you have a limited number of skills and stuns. It is pretty balanced for you to duel any melee classes, but when it comes to dueling a Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Ranger, or Cleric you will probably lose, because you just lack the stuns and, most importantly, the Stigma skill Ambush to catch up to them. Sure you have the skill Hide and are able to get behind them but unless you can kill them with just your Surprise Attack (which won't happen), they can easily run away and then immobilize you. I don't recommend doing a lot of PvP at low levels but if you're bored and want to have some fun then go ahead, but just buy some Greater Running Scrolls to increase your running speed. When you hit level 25, you can use Ambush I Stigma, which is a very useful skill. It teleports you behind your enemy, damages and stuns them (the stun isn't 100% - it depends on your opponents buffs and level, and such). Also at level 25, you can equip Flurry I Stigma, but I

don't recommend this because you still need Sigil Strike I as a part of your engraving pattern. The reason that you should keep Sigil Strike instead of Flurry I, until at least level 28, is because at level 25 you also get the new skill called Heaven's Edge I and just like Burst Signet, in order to have any chance of stunning or Air-binding your opponent you must have at least 3 patterns engraved on your enemy. Using Beast's Roar and Engrave Signet, you will only reach 2 patterns before you have to wait for the skill cool down; so adding Sigil Strike will allow you to engrave 3 patterns in 1 combo. Once you have reached level 28, I suggest that you remove Sigil Strike and equip Flurry. The reason is that at level 28 you get a skill called Beast's Kick I, which should replace Sigil Strike as the 3rd pattern. Also the Beast's Roar chain has a much lower cool down time, so they can be reused more often. At this point, PvP as an Assassin gets really fun; you might not be able to kill every class in 1 swift combo yet, but you're almost there. Assassin PvP level 28 - 50 The Assassin only gets better and better as your level gets higher, since you get skills like Hide II, Crashing Wind Strike I , Beast Swipe I, etc. You'll also have a faster Attack speed, and a lot more stun to keep your opponent immobilized which, all and all, will make the Assassin one of

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide the top ranked PvP classes at high levels.

Recommended PvP Stigmas What are Stigma? Stigma is a special system in Aion that allows you to feature customize your character. In another words, to make your character unique. Once you have reached level 20, you will be able to equip Stigma Stones after you have completed your level 20 Stigma Quest (for quest details please refer to the leveling guide section). Each Stigma stone allows you the ability to use a special stigma skill. All stigma skills can only be used if the stigma stone is equipped. How to Equip Stigma Stones? To Equip Stigma stones, you must first be level 20 and have completed the Stigma quest. Once you have completed the quest, just head to the Stigma master to help you equip your stone. Note: you will also need Stigma shards to equip stigma stones; the amount of shards required depends on the stigma skill and its level. - For Elyos, the Stigma Master is located in Sanctum, 2nd floor of Protectors Hall.

- For Asmodian. the Stigma Master is located in the Capital Building of Pandemonium. Where to get Stigma Skill and Stigma Shards? With the expectation of the first stigma "Sigil Strike I", which is acquired upon completion of your stigma quest, all other stigma are random drops of mobs and boss mobs. Stigma are pretty rare as drops, so I don't recommend trying to farm any particular stigma stone since you can always purchase them from other players at a Trade Broker. However, some stigma can be very expensive depending on the server you play on. Stigma shards can be obtained by killing pretty much any mobs in Abyss, so they are pretty easy to get. Stigma Slots and Advanced Stigma There are a total of 8 stigma slots, 5 regular and 3 advanced, but you do not have all 8 stigma available to you at level 20. At level 20, you will be able to equip 2 stigma, and after that you gain or unlock a stigma slot every 10 levels. Finally the 3 advanced stigma slots can only be unlocked at level 50 by completing quests. Advanced Stigma stones can only be equipped if a prerequisite stigma stone is already equipped, but you can also equip regular stigma stones in advanced stone slots. You cannot equip an advanced

LvL 45: If you have unlocked the 2 Advanced stigma slots - Ambush, Flurry, Aethertwisting, Throw Shurikan, Blind Burst, Shadow Walk or Sigil Strike LvL 50: At 50, and if you have unlocked all 3 of your Advanced Stigma slots, then you should have a total of 8 Stigma. Now there are many ways to build your Stigma, some people like to use Advanced Stigma, some people don't. Personally, I don't like to use any Advanced Stigmas as a Assassin, not because they are not good skills to have, because they actually are; it's just that the regular stigmas required to equipped the Advanced stigmas are not that great. So in my opinion, it's a waste of slots. Here is what I personally have at 50: Ambush V, Flurry , Aethertwisting I, Throw Shuriken II, Shadow Walk or Deadly Apply Poison, Blinding Burst, Deadly Abandon or Sigil Strike, Rune Knife III or Sigil Strike.

Ambush: gets you behind your opponent and stuns them, which is an extremely useful skill for Assassin in PvP - MUST HAVE. Flurry I: this skill seem crappy at first, since for 30 seconds your Atk speed increase by 20% - that's exactly what I first thought, until I did some research and tested it myself. This skill is amazing since the buff duration is short - it's only for 30 second and the cool-down is long, but in that 30 seconds your attack speed would be so fast you'll be amazed. Also not only does it increase your Atk speed, but it lowers your skill cool-down slightly as well. Making this a must have for any PvP. This will allow you to kill you opponent before they can type help! Sigil Strike: this skills is great for level 20 - 28, but afterwards it's pretty useless for pvp. I suggest you use Aethertwisting I at level 30 with the 3rd Stigma slot. However Sigil Strike is a great skill for PvE as it requires no Mana to use and unlike the Beast Chains Skill you can move while using this skill. Aethertwisting I: this is Focus Evasion but for magical attacks. It's a great skill to have for going against Sorcerer, or Spiritmaster. It allows you to resist two of their spells. Very important stigma skill to have! Throw Shuriken: this skill does a great deal of damage to a target that is

Shadow Walk: also known as infinite stealth because with only a 3 min cool-down time and 5 min advanced hide mode you can reuse this skill before you come out of hide mode. It's a very useful stigma, since as Assassin you'll rely heavily on stealth. Rune Knife: Bad skill for PvE, good skill for PvP, it is the only range skill Assassin have in away. Deadly Apply Poison: Increases your base attack, lower your evasion, good for PvE, and PvP. Blinding Burst: Very useful skill for PvE, and some what for PvP. AOE BLIND. Deadly Apply Poison: 2% chance of stun while using every attack, good for PvP.

PvP Gearing & Enhancements Weapons & Armors Some people like to make two sets of gear, one for PvP and one for PvE. I personally believe that as an Assassin you only need one set gear, which will focus on increasing damage, critical rate, and attack speed. When it comes to weapons you really only have two choices, swords or daggers. Swords have high base damage, but slower attack and lower critical rate. Daggers have lower base damage, but are slightly faster and have much higher critical rate. So do I choose dagger or sword - and what stats should I look for? Many players suggest that to use dual swords for PvE and dual dagger for PvP. I say it depends on the stats of the dagger and the sword. The bonus stats you should look for on a weapon are Attack speed, Critical rate, and Attack damage increase. Optional stats would include Accuracy, Parry, and HP. If a sword has +Atk speed, + Critical rate, and the dagger has +Attack damage only, go with the sword. If both the sword and dagger have the same mod it really doesn't matter; I

-230© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide personally would go with the sword for higher base damage. When it comes to choosing sword or dagger, it really comes down to if you want to critical more often or do more damage per hit. The 0.2 in speed difference between dagger and sword isn't that big of a difference.

After your critical rating is above 400, every 10-bonus physical crit. rate you add to your character would only result in a 0.5% increase in your crit. chances. The difference is small but you will notice a difference in how fast you kill the mobs. Attack Speed Increase:

The stats to focus on for armor are Evasion, Physical Defense, and HP. And at higher levels you can consider using more Magical Resistance gear instead of Evasion to resist stuns, snares, and roots.

Attack speed is also a very important stat to focus on as an Assassin. Attack speed not only increases how fast you attack but it also influences your engraving chain skill, like Beast Roar, Beast kick, etc. The higher your attack speed is the faster you can unload your skill, and the faster your engraving skills refresh for you to reuse them. This is very important in 1v1 PvP against any class.

Also higher-level armor has bonus stats to increase your base agility. Increasing your agility will increase your Evasion, block, and parry rate. Optional stats at high level are + Flight Time, and + Flight Speed.

As of right now you can only increase your attack speed with certain weapons that have the bonus increase Atk speed stats, or Flurry I - your level 20 Stigma skill, or Chanter Buffs, and lastly via Atk Speed Scrolls.

Choosing your armors for pvp is simple since you can only wear leather or cloth, and I have yet to see an Assassin wearing full cloth armor.

Evasion:

Physical Critical Rate: Since Physical Crit. is one of the most important stats to look for as an Assassin, lets look at how your critical rate works. Every 10 Physical Crit. bonus stats you add to your character is equal to around 1% increase in your critical chance. However that is only before you reach a 400 critical rating; so at 400 critical rate you have prox. 40% crit. rating.

Assassin's main defense method is Evasion, but keep in mind that you can only evade physical attacks. Increasing your Evasion does not increase your rate of dodging or resisting magical attacks. Evasion is great for PvE, but for PvP it's hard to say at this point, so let's just assume it does make a difference. Attack Damage:

-231© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide You'll also want to focus on increasing your base attack damage. The higher your base damage is, the harder you hit with your skills; such as Swift Edge, Surprise Attack, etc. However, your base Attack rating is not affected by certain skills, such as Pain Rune.

least 350 - 400. If you can do more, feel free to do so. Keep in mind that Physical Crit. manastones are rare, and are in high demand, so they can be expensive to buy. If you have some, don't waste them on regular white gears, or any gear that you not planning to use for long.

When you equip an offhand weapon, the increase in your attack will be applied directly to your main hand and offhand.

After physical Crit, I personally suggest you focus on Attack manastones. The highest attack is +5 green manastones, which will drastically increase your damage.

Manastones What are Manastone? Manastones are enchantment stone that you can stock in your armor and weapon for more bonuses to your stats. Depending on the weapon and armor, the number of stocked stones can vary anywhere from a single stocked to a maximum of 6 per piece of equipment. However, helmets, belts and accessories can't equip manastones.

There are debates on whether to use Evasion manastones or not; if you have some extra stocked and want to increase your evasion, it would come in handy as well. Other optional manastones you can use are + HP, and Magical Resist, however you can't find magical resist manastones at low level. Keep in mind that this is just a basic guideline, you can always play around with manastones and find the best fit between evasion, attack, and crit.

What Manastone Should I use as an Assassin? When it comes to manastones and Assassin it is actually very simple; while many other classes can focus on different stats, Assassin should focus on increasing their damage per hit. The best way to increase your damage is to increase your Physical Crit. Rate, so focus on getting Physical Crit. Manastones and raise your crit. rate to at

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

The Assassin vs. Assassin PvP Details I have to it that I'm not the best PvPer in the world, definitely not the best on my server. I have done my share of PvP, and I do enjoy it, so I'm good at it but there are always better. So for the next section, in which we are going to go through PvP verse each class in detail, I'm going to share some tips from some of the top ranked PvPers on the Korean Aion servers!! Assassin vs Templar In my experience, Templar is one of the hardest classes to beat as an Assassin. They wear heavy plate armor giving them lots of defense, so we do less damage to them. They also have Stunning strike that can stun, slow, and draw you into their melee range. And on top of their heavy armor, they have many skills that nullify your magical defense. Finally they have Armor of Balance which is a very annoying skill which allows them to resist your Ambush, spins, stuns, and Aerial-bind. They might be annoying and hard to kill, but as an Assassin, you can still kill them in 1 combo or at least leave them near death. To kill templar, the idea is to waste their full and protection skills. So watch out for Unwavering Devotion I,

Armor of Protection, and Iron Skin. If the templar turns them all on at once, then you stay away use Focused Evasion, Hide until their buffs wear off and go from there. Know the skill cool down times, so you know how long you got to unload all your skills before they turn them on again. Unwavering Devotion I: Cool-down 3 minIron Skin: Cool-down 10 minArmor of Protection: Cool-down 5 min Tips from Player: HoneyS, Level 49, Elyos "Its one of these in a Templar vs Assassins: Templar turns on Unwavering Devotion I, or Assassin won't let him." "Assassins have lots of stuns, but all are useless if they turn on Unwavering Devotion I." "Pattern Engraving and 2nd Beastly chain attack for 3 Patterns, then Heaven's Edge I." "Once they are in Heaven's Edge I, move to the back while using Throw Shuriken, Swift Edge and Soul Slash. Once you are in the back, use Fall. Then use Follow Up Strike > Surprise Attack. Then use your stuns." Tips from Player: Die, Lvl 50, Asmodian If they come running with Unwavering Devotion I, Iron Skin, Intercept, and Armor of Empyrean Lord I on, there is no

-233© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide way. Just get some distance and go into Hide. "Nowadays Templar's use Steel Wall Defense I to resist Ambush." "If you see that, get close to them and use Flurry I and Focused Evasion. Then one of two things will happen. They will either turn on Armor of Balance or use Stunning Strike on you. If they use Stunning strike, use Whirlwind Slash and after 2 hits use Ambush and go from there." "Obviously, if they use Armor of Balance, use a shock scroll and run around. If you want his AP, then wait until his armors go down and then attack. If you don't just go into Hide."

Aerial Lock a lot of faster than you can, so try not to get into that situation by using Focused Evasion and Ambush to keep them stunned and go from there. Tips from Player: Die, Lvl 50, Asmodian "Beware of their Unwavering Devotion I and Focused Block." "If they do not have Unwavering Devotion I, turn on Flurry I and Ambush > etc. " "Nowadays there are some faster people who use Unwavering Devotion I right on Flurry I usage. If your damage is high, go in, but if you think not, then back off and wait for an opportunity. If they turn on Focused Block, use a Bow to take it out."

Assassin vs Gladiator

Assassin vs Ranger

Think of Gladiators as offensive Templars; they share some of the same skills as Templar such as Unwavering Devotion I. However, they have less defensive skills; although Unwavering Devotion I is annoying enough, you can easily wait it out till they lose their buff. Gladiator won't give you as much of a hard time as Templar would, but if you run across a good Gladiator player they are still hard to beat. Gladiator, like Assassin, is also considered to be a DPS class, which means they have strong attacks, so be aware of that. They can get you into a

Rangers are squishy just like as, they wear leather armor just like us, they can use Hide, and they can see though your Hide as well. The benefit of an Ranger lies in their name, they got "range" attacks, so to beat ranger you must get close. You can run in with Focused Evasion, and then Ambush them. But I don't recommend doing that, since they can easily entangle you with Entangling Shot or Sleep Arrow if they have it. Although they can see through your hide, it is still the best to use advanced hide to get right up to them. Just do it before they see you go into hide. If they happen to see through your hide just

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide turn on Focus evasion run up and use Ambush and go from there. Tips From Lvl 50, Asmodian "While you're in hide, you unload your usual chains. But, if your Ambush misses the stun, a lot of things can happen. Unless the ranger is a complete noob, they won't use their Attack Arrow chain when jumped by others. They will look at their opponents buffs, then use Silence/Sleep Arrow/ Snare to get some distance, then they use full attack buffs and unload their burst." "If the opponents level is higher than yours, use Follow Up Strike + Weakening Blow I to start your chain." "If you're not in hide, get close as fast as possible and use Flurry. If the enemy is using Focused Shots I, Bestial Flurry I, and even Devotion, counter with Focused Evasion. If the enemy uses their own Focused Evasion or Dodging I, use your Light/Dark signet explosion to quickly erase it, then use Ambush." "When the enemy turns on Focused Shots I or Bestial Flurry I then goes into Hide; many Assassins use All-Seeing Eye I. But experienced rangers blast you while you are turning on All-Seeing Eye I. So instead of turning that on, go into Hide. The ones that get scared are the Rangers."

"If the ranger has their DP transformation buff on beware!! If you use Ambush or Spiral Slash, andcthe stun didn't succeed , your dead..." Assassin vs Assassin You know all their skills, and they know all your skills. When it comes to facing another Assassin, tactics and experience matter! If the Assassin isn't experienced in PvP then you have a big advantage, but if they are then this could be a very tough fight! If your both have similar equipment, your focus should be control, keeping your opponent Assassin controlled will win you the fight. At high levels many Assassins use high magical resist gear. This will lower your Ambush stun chance of success, so instead Whirlwind Slash will be your friend in this case. Tips from Player: Funky, Lvl 50, Elyos "Many Assassins still use Ambush without checking for Contract of Evasion on enemy buffs. You must get out of this habit!" "When enemy assassin gets close, you yourself need to turn on Aethertwisting." "When you see the enemy with Aethertwisting, quickly use two pattern explosions to erase it. Then use Ambush."

-235© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide "Elyos Assassins have Spelldodging I (long recharge, avoids 2 magical attacks) so they are a little more advantaged." "Usually when Ambush is recharging, assassins normally just run in with Focused Evasion and whirlwind slash on evasion right? But we are Assassins! We must play like one. We have to think ahead of the opponent." "If the opponent comes running with Focused Evasion on, hit them with a normal attack once. Or if you are a little farther, use a Bow. Then the enemy assassin will have their Whirlwind / Counter Attack available, and they'll come running to unload them. Right then, turn on your Focused Evasion and use your own Whirlwind Slash. A counter attack to a counter attack."

Clerics are just as annoying as Templar. I know in many other MMORPGs clerics aren't designed to be the top PvPer, but in Aion that's not the case. They have high magical resistance so your stuns won't hit often, they wear heavy plate armor which means they have high defense, a lot of clerics use increase HP gear so they have a lot of HP, and finally they can HEAL! Just when you think the fight is over they are back to full health. To beat cleric: keep the fight short by killing them with one single combo. If that doesn't happen, it's going to be a very long fight, and you have a good chance of losing to a cleric. I've seen many fights between Assassin and Cleric in which the Cleric just runs around and heals while the Assassin chases and takes damage from their Holy Servant. Tips from Player: Die, Lvl 50, Asmodian

Tips from Lvl 50, Asmodian "Using the hide approach, you do not need to use Flurry, but it can help." "In case Ambush doesn't stun, it's wise to use Aethertwisting before spiking. Ambush > Pattern Engrave > Beastly Chain up to 3rd pattern > Heaven's Edge > unload." "If you guys meet head on use Aethertwisting, Flurry as soon as possible, and save Focused Evasion for later."

"If you are fighting a highly magic resistant Cleric, put in Aethertwisting, and Flurry and keep pressuring with damage after Ambush and force him to not use Heals that require cast time. That's about the only way u can fight them. Save your CC Pot for their Restraint(root), and hit/stun them while predicting where they would go." Assassin vs Chanter

Assassin vs Cleric

-236© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Chanters have heals too, like Cleric, but they are melee as opposed to the clerics ranged attacks. While Chanters don't have as strong and as many heals as a cleric, they do have buffs which allow them to run fast, critical hit, and increase their physical and magical defense. Often you will see Chanters start their attacks with Inescapable Judgment (Elyos) or Soul Strike (Asmodian), just use Focused Evasion to evade the attack. Chanters aren't as hard as Clerics, but be careful if you don't know you're opponents tactics, you'll find yourself dead on the floor. Tips from Player: Die, Lvl 50, Asmodian "After Flurry, go in with Focused Evasion. Their first attack will be Inescapable Judgment (Elyos) or Soul Strike (Asmodian). Even if your Ambush missed the stun, if your Focused Evasion ate an attack, you should have your Whirlwind Slash available. However, since they have a stun resisting Mantra, if your stuns aren't going in then you need to pressure them down like Cleric." "Sometimes you'll need luck on that Inescapable Judgment (Elyos) or Soul Strike (Asmodian)not stunning you. Nowadays many die by Chanters 1 chain." Assassin vs Sorcerer

Sorcerers are almost one of the top ranked pvp classes due to their massive damage and ranged attacks. However, you can definitely wipe out a Sorcerer in one clean combo because they have low HP. The problem while fighting a Sorcerer is actually get near them, and keeping them on the ground if you're fighting them in Abyss. Thay have many immobilizing skills. Use advance hide to get behind them, use your Beast chain, Ambush, and then go from there. Sorcerer rules Abyss since wings give them a huge advantage due to them being a ranged attack class. They can just go around killing people while they are fighting other mobs and then just fly away. This is very annoying! To keep Sorcerers on the ground to use Apply Poisons, because when they are poisoned they cannot fly. Don't forget to use Focused Evasion, Aethertwisting , and if you are Elyos, use Spelldodging I to evade their attacks. Tips from a Lvl 35, Elyos "Use Aethertwisting + Devotion, then Ambush > unload your combos." "Sometimes Ambush misses the stun, and when you are restrained quickly use Greater Healing Potion to remove. Then when they use Sleep or Curse: Tree or Aerial Bind, use Aethertwisting or Focused Evasion."

Elyos

Spirit Substitution - Commands the spirit to use its protective magic skill. The spirit receives all the damage instead of the caster.

Asmodian

"When up against Sorcerers, its best to go up to them in Hide then use Rune Carve first. If your first attack is Ambush, they may just use their Blind Leap to get away. At that distance, just Greater Healing Potion won't save you. So use Ambush after they've used Blind Leap. Then use Beast Chain> Throw Shuriken > Crashing Wind Strike I > Follow up Strike > Surprise Attack." " that they have lots of high damaging skills, but their recharge is long as well. Use Evasion skills to avoid Aerial Bind, DP Explosion, and Flames of Hell."

"Many similarities to fighting Sorcerers. But against Spiritmasters, when they use their Substitution buff, it's best to back off." "If you don't notice their Substitution and keep hitting, you'll get rolled by their transformation chains and see black and white." "Deal with Transformation curses with Evasion skills, and if you see their Substitution buff go up, back off and wait its duration"

Assassin vs Spiritmaster Last but not least is Spiritmaster. Although Spiritmasters aren't the best PvP class, they can keep you locked down forever between root, and fear skills. Their most annoying skill is their Stone Skin buff. If you don't break through their Stone Skin before they cast Spirit Substitution skill, you probably won't live. Beware of their fear and

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Macros I really don't recommend using many, or actually any macros as an Assassin. I have mentioned over and over again that the Assassin relies on speed and timing of your skills, and controlling your opponent. While Macros are fine for PvE, when it comes to PvP they will only mess you up.

So while I don't recommend Macros for Assassins (and many high level Assassins would agree with me), here are some Macros that other Assassins use: Buff Macro 1 /Skill Follow-up Strike I /Delay 1 /Skill Devotion I Buff Macro 2 /Skill Quick Contract I

However, there is one Macro that I do use; my counter Macro. All it does is that it uses Whirlwind Slash, and if the Whirlwind Slash is done then it uses Counterattack. This is a very useful Macro because it saves you a slot on your quick bar and makes things easier, however I still won't recommend it for PvP. It isn't bad, but the Macro can screw up sometimes and use Counterattack first, even while your Whirlwind Slash is up.

/Delay 1 /Skill Clear Focus Iv Engrave Chain Macro 1 /Skill Beast's Roar I /Delay 1 /Skill Engrave Signet I /Delay 1 /Skill Chain Engrave Signet Iv Combo Macro 1

This Macro is easy to make, just open your Macro Menu by pushing "U" by default, then create a new Macro. Open up your skill list menu, then drag and drop the two skills into your new Macro editing window. It should look something like this.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide

Kinah making strategy

amount of time and effort you spent.

Crafting Almost every single MMORPGs I have played has a currency and a market, and being able to have a good cash flow in game is almost always one of the most important factor to your success. While in real life you use money to eat , live, and pay for Aion. In Aion you need kinah to buy gears, potions, and much more. So how do you earn millions and hundreds of millions of Kinah? Well you can Farm, Craft, Gather, and Sale, those are just some ways to earn Kinah in Aion. In this section of the guy we going to cover all the ways to earn Kinah and make you rich. But before you we start, lets cover the myth of earning quick money. I'm sure you have seen or heard of guides on that internet that promise tens and hundreds of millions of kinah in hours and days, well those are not true, at least not for Aion. Sure there are players who have made tens/hundreds of millions but not over night, earning Kinah takes time and efforts. Although there are no tricks at least none that I know of to become instant millionaires, but there are way to minimize the

One of the most obvious way to make money to most players is to become Expert in a crafting profession, and craft high demand gear and consumable items. But which profession earns you the most money? The crafts that will earn you the most money are Tailor, Armorsmith, Alchemy, Cooking, and maybe Handicrafting.

Cooking All you can do with cooking is to craft consumable food/drinks, you can craft Aether DP Jelly, High level Natural Healing/Mana Treatment Cocktails, Increase Attack/HP Food, and Increase Magic Boost/Accuracy Food; all of those are good sellers. You can also cook transformation candies; they don't sell as much as DP Jelly and stats food, but they do sell. The downside to cooking is that the amount of earning you can make from selling cooking goods depends on the market, tax and amount of other players

-241© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide that are selling the same items. Unless you also level your gathering skill (which is highly recommend if you do become a cook), you'll have to buy raw materials from other players. If the raw material prices are high, it would cost more to produce the consumable food/drinks, and that would put you at a disadvantage to the players that gather their own raw materials as they can sell their goods at a cheaper price. Tax also determines how much you can earn from cooking, because some of the raw materials can only be purchased from a Cook NPC and their price is determined by the tax of your faction. So it is a good idea to buy raw materials from the NPC in large amounts when the tax is low. Finally, competition will affect prices. You're not going to be the only cook on your server; many other players will choose the same profession. Your competition will often drive the price down, making it harder for you to earn money. Unlike real life, there are no other considerations when purchasing the goods; only the price determines the buying decisions in Aion. A DP Jelly is a DP Jelly, it doesn't matter if you craft it or your competition crafts it. To the buyer all they care about is price, so of course they are going to go for the lower costing bundles. Overall, cooking is not a

bad profession to earn money.

Alchemy Alchemy is pretty much like cooking, except that you would craft consumable potions, scrolls and Temporal Stones. Although you can craft Tombs and Orbs as well, with alchemy, most of them are worthless and a waste of time and money to craft. To earn money with Alchemy you should craft lots of potions and scrolls. All Greater Raging Wind/Running/Courage Scrolls are always in demand, and Major Life/Wind/Mana Serums are always in demand. However, I find that when making HP potions, it is best to make the instant ones (Major Life Serum), but when it comes to mana, the regular ones (Major Mana Potion) sell a lot better and faster. Unlike cooking, you have 2 more options for earning money, one is crafting Temporal Stones, and the other is Manastones. Alchemy is the only profession where you can craft Temporal Stones, which are required for quests for both Elyos and Asmodians, as well as to activate Artifacts during sieges. As an Alchemist, you have the ability to take 2 lower level mana stones and turn them into a higher level manastone. So if you take 2 +1 Attack, along with a Catalyst, you can

-242© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide turn them into a + 2 Attack, and if you're lucky and it procs, you'll get a +4 Green Attack Stone. Manastones such as +15 Physical Crit, HP +85, and +5 Attack are in high demand and sell for a lot of kinah. The drawbacks to alchemy are the same as cooking so I'm not going to go over them again. As for manastones, the low level manastones are in high demand and they're not easy to obtain; it actually costs a lot just to craft them. However, I believe Alchemy is a very good profession to earn money with; it will not make you rich overnight, but it's a steady way to earn money.

Armorsmith/Tailoring Since both professions are very similar, I'm going to go over them both at the same time. It is obvious that to earn money, you should be crafting good stats armors, but what makes tailoring and armorsmithing much easier to earn money with is that all gear only requires a single proc. For example, if you want to craft Expert Orichalcum Chain Boots, you get all your materials and you click craft. If it doesn't proc, you at least have the blue Expert Orichalcum Chain Boots. However, if it does proc you would have GOLD Expert Noble Orichalcum Chain

Boots, which sell for a lot.) Tailor is a little different than Armorsmith, as it requires you to proc materials but that is also why a friend of mine earned tens and hundreds of millions of kinah from just tailoring, and here is how he did it. First, you should be an expert in tailoring (or at least 399 tailor), it does work at lower skill levels, but is better at high level. What you do is get a lot of materials to craft Tough Leather Pad, or Anathe/Linon Textiles, then you craft as many as you can. When you finish that, you have a whole bunch of regular Tough Leather Pads, Tough Luxury Leather Pads and Tough Finest Leather Pads. Now you can use the regular Tough Leather Pads to craft Tough Durable Leather Shoes/Gloves, and sell the Luxury and Finest Leather Pads to other players. From crafting the Tough Durable Leather Shoes/Gloves, you'll get some Worthy Durable Leather Shoes/Gloves which are green; NPC the white ones, and NPC or extract the green ones. The white gloves and shoes should NPC for around 180k, and if you choose to extract the green ones, you can get 48 - 60 enchantment stones from them, which you can sell to other players (the price of the enchantment stone varies depending on the server). If you're an expert in tailoring, and you want to use the Luxury and Finest Pads to craft blue and high level blue and gold gear, it can be highly profitable if you get lucky.

-243© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide I would recommended tailoring/armorsmithing as a way to earn kinah. It isn't going to make you rich overnight but it is, in my opinion, one of the best way to earn kinah.

Handicraft and Weaponsmith I once heard that Handicraft will make you rich, but after playing Aion for 3 months since beta, I really doubt it's true; at least not in patch 1.5. Here is why. First, both Handicraft and Weaponsmith are hard and very expensive to become expert in. True, Alchemy is equally hard, but with Alchemy you do not need to be an expert to earn money. You can earn money with Handicraft/Weaponsmith, even if you're not an expert but it is not worth it, and that leads the 2nd reason. All weapons and jewelries requires triple procs to obtain gold, so you must go from the white to green, then the green to blue, and finally the blue to gold, and all of which has about 20 - 30% chance to proc. This is usually the math for crafting a gold weapon goes like this: 10 tries from white -> green = 3 -5 green(if lucky you can even not get a single green poc)

3-5 tries from green -> blue = 1 - 3 (if you're lucky) 1 - 3 tries from blue -> gold = 1 (if you're lucky) Even if you got lucky and did proc a gold weapon with very little tries, it would take a long time to sell it. So personally, I don't think it is a good idea to use Handicraft or Weapon Smith to earn kinah, but if it works for you go ahead and do it.

Gathering Gathering is a very stable, and commonly used, method to earn kinah. The only problem with gathering is in actually raising your skill level to max. There are 2 type of gathering 1 is Vitality, and the other is Aether. Both can earn you steady money, but I personally like Aether gathering better. With Vitality, you can pretty much gather all kinds of material such as woods, iron, metal, fruits, and more. Now all those materials are used for crafting, the most popular ones being wood, herbs and iron because they are required for most weapons, armor and potions. The thing I don't like about Vitality is that most material spots are far apart, and they are

-244© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide usually surrounded by mobs. So unless you're level 50 and most mobs don't attack you, then you must fight mobs to gather certain materials and that can be a pain. Overall, Vitality is a good way to earn money, if you enjoy it. Aether gathering is actually a very good way to earn kinah, and many players stay away from Aether gathering because it requires you to gather while flying. However what most players don't realize is that it is actually easier to max the Aether gathering skill than Vitality. While Vitality has many different types of materials you can gather, Aether actually has 4 total; Aether Powder, Aether Crystal, Aether Gems, and Aether. So you'll spend 1 to 99 gathering Aether Powder, 100 - 199 gathering Aether Crystal, so on and so forth. Two other things that makes Aether gathering easier, is that one they are all located in one area (all areas you can fly, usually main Towns), and unlike Vitality, where all nodes have either 1 or 3 attempts to extract, all Aether nodes have 5 attempts. Earning money with Aether is also easier then Vitality, because all craft professions, and almost every single item requires some sort of Aether, which puts them in high demand. There is another way to earn money with gathering that many have spoken about, and that is to gather materials that

are required for certain quests. For example, the quest "A Bloom in Brusthonin" requires 5 Subella, and it rewards 845,200 XP, and 16,000 Kinah. So you can easly gather a bunch of Subella, and sell them on the Broker for 16,000 Kinah per bundles of 5, most players would pay 16,000 Kinah to gain the 845k XP. The only problem with this is that, although they sell very fast, it still takes time and you can only sell 12 items on the Broker per character. However, overall this is a slow but good way to earn kinah, just keep in mind your competitions price because you might not be the only player doing this. I also want to mention that smaller bundles sell faster then large bundles, even if they are priced higher per unit. The reason is that most players are not looking to buy bundles of 500 or 1,000 in materials at a time, they want something smaller. If you ever said to yourself "damn, I don't want 400, I just want 50 of them", then you're not alone. I like to sell them in packages of 50 and 100, so even if someone wants to buy a bundle of 1,000, they can buy 10 stacks from me. I don't like to go lower then 50, as it would take a long time to move a lot of materials. Overall, using gathering as a method of earning kinah is very good, it isn't fast but it is steady, and the only problem is competition driving the price down.

Farming/Hunting This section is straight forward, you hunt mobs over and over again for loot. This is actually one of the best ways to earn money, the only thing is that it is really time consuming and boring after a while. At level 50, you really don't have too much choice in of where to hunt; you're most likely to hunt level 47 50 mobs. Luckily, all high level mob drops are good and worthwhile items, so your concern as a farming Assassin is to find mobs that require the least amount of effort to kill, for example: Undead and Viragos. Farming while leveling is a good idea; in the leveling section I have pointed out, for both factions, where the best farming stops are. One special mob that you should always hunt, whenever you get a chance, are Balaurs. Balaurs of all levels drop special Draconute Materials such as Balaur Horns, Scales, Skins, Hearts and Blood. All of those materials sell well at a high price; the reason being that these materials are required to raise your crafting level once you have expert. They are also used to craft Draconute weapons that are really good in stats. Other than hunting Balaurs, many players also farm small named mobs for green/blue drops. That is good for some

classes such as Spiritmaster and Ranger, but it is not for an Assassin. It would require a highly geared Assassin to be able to solo named mobs, and you would still be required to use a lot of pots, so it is not worth it. Overall farming/hunting is one of the best and the fastest way to earn kinah, if you enjoy long hours of killing the same thing over and over again. Assassins are not the most ideal class for farming, but they are not the worse either. Unlike Spiritmasters and Rangers, Assassins lack the ability to solo named (Boss) mobs, even if they are just a mini boss. In order for an Assassin to solo named mobs for good gear drops to sell, they must first be extremely well equipped, and loaded with Healing pots/Scrolls because it can be a long fight. However, Assassins are probably one of the best classes to farm regular mobs, due to how fast they can kill. There isn't a guide to actually help you farm, other than just keep killing until you get bored out of your mind. Most of the good spots for farming are already covered in the Asmodian/Elyos leveling guide sections, and the kinah-making strategy section. Personally, I don't recommended too much farming when you're below level 50, because you can easily make lots of money once you reach level 50. But here are a few things to keep in mind when you

-246© www.killerguides.com All rights reserved.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide do farm. First, farm Balaur for Balaur materials (Thick/Hard/Solid Balaur Scale/Skin/Horn/Blood, also Cold/Hot Balaur Hearts); all the Balaur materials sell very well, and wherever you find them is always an ideal place to farm. So below level 50, you'll focus on farming as many Balaur materials as you can. Once you reach level 50, balaur materials are still good, especially Broiling Balaur Blood, which can easily sell for 200k + on many servers because they're required to acquire your Fenris/Miragent Pants quest. Other than balaur material, I recommended sticking to mobs that are easy to kill and have good drops; the level 49 Undeads for the Asmodian in Bruthonin are good examples, and the level 49 Kalgolem/Ribbits are good for the Elyos in Theobomos. Other than the white/green/blue/gold gear drops, other items that sell for good money are flux, especially worthy/regular/expert weapon flux, and worthy/expert armor flux. You can also farm platinum coin quests for eyes and coins, because they also sell well.

The Market Playing the market is actually the easiest and the most effortless way to earn kinah, all you have to do is check the market a few times a day and find good deals. The first thing you can do on the market is "buy low - sell high"; it is also the most common way to earn money. Every once in a while you'll see a cheap item on the market; you buy it and resell to earn a profit. Although the idea is simple, it really takes some practice to get it right. First you must observe the market for a few days, see how the prices for certain items fluctuate; e.g. how high does the price go and how low does it drop. This part is extremely important. Second, you must stick to trading materials and not weapon/armors, I find the best are /Fine weapon fluxs, most armor/accessory fluxs, Aether, Logs, Herbs, and sometimes Stigma. Once you have a good picture of the market, all you have to do is buy the materials at a low price and sell them at a higher price, and since you've been observing the market price you know at what price the materials would stop selling. Another thing to keep in mind that there is a broker fee for every time you sell; you must add that in your expense. This is a good and easy way to earn kinah, but there are risks.

The Unofficial Aion Assassin Guide Create more characters to increase your broker slots. This idea is simple; each character has 12 slots on the broker that you can use to auction your items. So the more slots you have available, the more items you can sell at once. To do this, just make many level 10 characters and use them to sell items faster. It is also a good way to help you sell certain items. Playing with prices, sometimes I would sell a bunch of Aether in bundles of 100 at different prices, just to see at what price they would sell at. Here is something that you can do if you have more than 1 character that can use the broker; some times certain items you want to sell are not on the market and you have more than 1 of them. What you do is have one of your characters sell one at a higher price than the other, then when someone checks the market and sees them, they'll purchase the lower priced one and think they have got a deal. Just be careful; don't be greedy and overdo it or you won't sell at all.

Other There are 3 other ways to earn kinah; selling high demand skin items, using Morph, and extracting gear.

Selling High Demand Skins Items There are certain items with very good graphics, and many players like to use them to skin their gears; these items sell for a lot of money on the broker. The problem is getting them; some can be crafted and some are dropped. Blizzard/Storm weapons are good examples, because they look really nice, so many players like to buy them for the skin. Also, any item that looks like high end abyss gear are also worth a lot.

Morphing to Earn Kinah

Extracting for High Level Enchantment Stones

Morphing is a specialty ability in Aion that every character can use; all you have to do is purchase the recipes. Different morph recipes are in different Fortresses in the Abyss, and your faction must own the Fortress before you can go there and purchase them (the best recipes are in Divine Fortress which is the core, but no one has captured this fortress yet on any NA servers). Once you have the recipes, all you have to do is go to the craft tab under your skills window, and click the morph button. In the morph window, you'll see a list of recipes you have learn, and to morph any item you'll need DP and the material required. I personally only recommend morphing Weapon fluxs; the other materials can earn you a profit, but it takes too long. For example: you'll see on the market that, once in a while, regular weapon flux sell for 140k each, and lets say that you just found a bunch of worthy weapon flux selling at 200k each. Since each worthy weapon flux can morph into 3 regular ones, you have just earned a lot of money (keep in mind that you also need Catalyst to morph flux and they cost money).

Finally we have extracting gears; I have already mention this in the tailor section. The idea is to extract green/blue/gold gear for enchantment stones and sell them for a profit. I personally don't like it as there is a lot of risk involved. However, you can control the result of the enchantment stones a little bit to increase the chance of high level stones. The math goes like this: for green items, you can get 5 - 10 level higher stones, blue 20 level higher, and gold 40 level higher enchantment stones. So, say you extracted a level 50 blue item and only got a 48 stone out of it (well, that stinks), quickly go get a level 50 gold item and extract it. It has been said that each character has a specific chance attached to them for crafting/extract/etc... So if you got a lousy stone from your first attempt, you'll have a much better chance on your next attempt to get a high level enchantment stone.

Conclusion This is the end of the Assassin guide, for now. I have said and covered everything, to the best of my knowledge; there really isn't much more for me to say in this section. So have fun and enjoy Aion and your Assassin. that the Assassin class is highly dependant on good equipment, so don't quit when you lose in pvp a few times; just keep on playing until you have good gear.
