New Aion Pet – Worg of the Dead

Aion team announced today new auto-looting pet – Worg of Dead, which can be purchased in Aion Store
 


 

It’s not cuddly, but this snarling bundle of claws and fangs will be your new best friend. The Worg of the Dead might be undead, blood-soaked, and look as if it could eat other pets for breakfast, but it’s got more than just its awesome good looks. Your loyal worg will automatically loot your kills for you, so you’ll never overlook a spellbook or a dagger again.

After your purchase, you can apply your new pet to each character on your account. Then after you log in to the game, your character will receive a pet egg in the in-game express mail. Your character needs to visit the appropriate Daeva for your race (Amis in Sanctum or Erdil in Pandaemonium) to then adopt your new pet.

In the bonus stage, players will face off against the Tiamat Assassin or an NPC of the opposing race, both of which have a chance to drop some nice loot. The Tiamat Assassin has a chance to drop a wide range of items, including Enchantment Stones, Manastones, and Balic crafting materials.

Changes to Aion Fabled Loot Chests

As of 2.6, Named Monsters such as Kromede the Corrupt and Brass-Eye Grogget no longer drop random Fabled weapons or piece of armor, but Fabled Loot Chests which contain one weapon or armor suitable for the character class that opens it.
 

  • Fabled Weapon and Armor Chests can be traded with Group members for a short period of time.
  • However, Fabled weapons and armor contained within Fabled Weapon and Armor Chests cannot be traded.
  • When opening a Fabled Weapon Chest, there are at least two weapons each class can acquire. However, there is a higher likelihood that the most desirable weapons for each class will drop.

Aion Item Database updated

I am very proud to announce that we have updated our Aion Item database with 2.5 data, but we did so much more and added new functionality to it as well. First of all we have updated our item tooltips and they look much more like their counterparts in the game. What I am really proud of is the addition of the Your Equipment section and the Equipping mechanism. There is an “Equip” link next to each item and you by clicking on it you add it to, what I would call, your ideal item build. All other items of same type you hover over will be compared to the equipped item in a nice side-by-side tooltip. All of the equipped items are shown in the “Your Equipment” section and there is a permalink that you can share with your friends or post them on forums. The purpose of all this is to provide you with a tool that will help you create a perfect list of items for your character, a kind of a gear wishlist if you’d like, which you can strive for in-game.
 
There are still some kinks and bugs here and there that we will work on in the coming days, but I wanted to share this with all of you as soon as possible. There is additional functionality I still plan on adding to the item database, like comparison mechanism for multiple items, but that will have to wait just a bit longer. If you have any additional ideas you would like me to add to the current functionality, please feel free to share them and I will see what can be done. In the meantime feel free to visit the updated Aion Item Database.

Site updated with Aion 2.5 quests

I am very proud to announce that we have updated our quests database to reflect the changes that patch 2.5 brought to Aion. All the news quests have been added and old have been updated with the latest data. I am so very proud to say that this is the first time since this site existed that we have all the German and French quests added as well. Quest text and steps are all translated to French and German, the only thing left in English are custom explanations. The walkthrough images are also from the English version of the game and I hope you won’t mind that. We are hoping to keep adding quest walkthroughs in the coming weeks and I have a surprise for all of you min-max types because we are working on an updated version of our items database and we should be releasing that in the coming days. I know that it has already been more than a month since 2.5 was introduced, but there is only wife and me working on this site and things take time. Here are some fun facts about the patch:

  • 380 new quests have been added
  • Overal experience from quests has been increased by 681769895 in 1671 quests
  • That is an average of 408001 xp points increase per quest
  • The quest with the most XP increase is Brigadier Indratu with 11242666 XP points added as reward
  • There are actually 186 that have had their XP reward reduced by 14467080 points total
