Posted on October 5, 2010 by Genius


Click to enlarge

There are many speculations about fortress siege times, so Aion team has decided to post the exact schedule with additional explanations:

We’ve had many of you asking about information on fortress siege times. Fortress times are no longer random. They follow a set schedule depending upon the day and time.

Aion: Assault on Balaurea added four new fortresses to siege and conquer. The addition of these four new fortresses into the current siege schedule is an ongoing process. We are currently working with our development team to improve upon this schedule.

Aqua Griffo pet – How to feed your hungry Aion pet

Posted on September 24, 2010 by Genius

Aqua Griffo pet is a part of the 12 month veteran reward package. This cute pet eats only items that actually say ‘ensouled’ in the title like: Ensouled Armor, Ensouled Boggart Cloak, Ensouled Chakranta Fragment, Ensouled Fragment, Ensouled Mugolem Fragment or Ensouled Petrahulk Fragment. But so far no one actually find out how to get those items.

At first I tried to feed him with different gray items, but he didn’t like them and kept spitting them out. So I did a little research and found an article on PowerWiki Pet Food with a list of Soul/Ensouled Food Type.

So far my little pet likes: Cursed Soul Fragment, Hazy Mamut Soul, Hazy Mau Soul and when he eats enough he spits out Major Aqua Griffo Bundle! When I opened my firs gift up I got 15 Aether. I was little disappointed but it’s a gift from my lovely pet:)

So here is the list of Soul / Ensouled Food:

Aion pets fansite

Posted on September 20, 2010 by Mikro

Pets system, that was introduced in Aion 2.0, got a lot of people interested and a lot of us have been hunting for the little buggers ever since. To make our lives a bit easier, Sylene created http://www.aion-pets.com. It is an Aion fansite dedicated entirely to pets and where you can find them, what they look like and what their specifications are (what to feed them with and what are their special characteristics). They even have some pets that are still not in the game, but will appear soon. Make sure you bookmark this fansite, since it is such a great resource and remember, if you run a fansite or blog or podcast dedicated to Aion feel free to contact us and we’ll mention you in our news section.
