Guide Gamez Aion 4.8 Leveling Guide (Elyos)

Welcome Elyos! This is a guide intended for new players to help walk you through the process of leveling a character on the Elyos side of Atreia. The guide will help you level a character solo, without the benefits of a Premium account. If you do have Premium active, you may be able to skip a few steps because of the increased XP gains.
Let’s get started!​

New/Returning Player Notes​

Before we get started with the guide, there are a few important things to take note of! Please make sure you read them all.

• As you progress in levels, you will receive surveys. These appear as a button to the right of your skillbars with a golden scroll image. Always accept surveys when you get them, but be careful! If you try to accept a survey and don't have room for the items in your inventory, you will not receive your items! Make sure you sell junk items and old/unusable items to merchant NPCs regularly.
• There are no 'wrong' ways to level. This guide is the way that we have found to be the easiest to level as a solo player, but don't be afraid to accept other quests or enter other dungeons!
• As you level and accept surveys, you will receive different types of coins. These coins, such as Bronze Coins or Ancient Coins, can be used to purchase better armour and weapons. The NPCs that trade this equipment for coins are located in the main towns of each map, so make sure you keep an eye out for them!

Spoiler: Coin Merchant Locations

• In addition to leveling on your own, there is another method that is commonly used known as "power leveling" or "mentoring" which can be a bit faster. You would be asking a high level player to essentially eliminate all monsters in specific areas while using the game's built in Mentor function, which will feed you all of the experience points and allow you to loot all of the enemies as well. This generally takes 2-4 hours depending on whether you have Premium and what path the Mentor takes, but is also usually done in exchange for in game items such as All Powerful Enchantment Stones.

Blue Quests:

• Sleeping on the Job

Spoiler: Levels 1-9 Expanded

Levels 1-9 (Poeta)
When you create a new Elyos character, you will start your journey in the beginner map in Elysea, known as Poeta
Levels here come very quickly, so you can actually get all the way from level 1-9 just by killing monsters as you make your way through the map!
If you would rather do quests to level, you can follow the walkthrough below.

• Start with the dark blue quest <Sleeping on the Job> and follow that quest line as you progress towards the first town in Poeta, just down the hill.
• The quests are a kill quest and a gathering quest with the targets being all around where you accept the quests. Once those are finished, head down the hill and through the fields to Akarios Village.
• When you reach the village, the quests you are looking for are as follows; the the dark blue quest, <Ancient Cube>, the gold quest, <Kalio’s Call> and another gold quest after this called <Request of the Elim>.
• For <Ancient Cube>, all you need to do is travel to the lake just outside the village and look for a box on the island at its center. Interact with the box and return it to the NPC who gave you the <Ancient Cube> quest to complete it.
• Once you have finished <Ancient Cube> and <Kalio’s Call>, you should be around level 5 and will be able to accept <Request of the Elim>.
• Travel out of the village and into the nearby forest to meet with the NPCs who need your help in <Request of the Elim>. This quest requires you to find sleeping Elim in the forest and interact with them, to play a magic flute that wakes them from their slumber.
• After the first part is finished, you will need to eliminate a few monsters near the far edge of the forest who are cutting down trees, and bring their axes back to the quest NPC as proof.
• Once you finish <Request of the Elim>, you will be able to head towards Melponeh’s Campsite, which is just past where you were eliminating tree cutting monsters before. Head past there, into the area known as Agaric Spore Road and eliminate a few of the monsters here to finish progressing to level 9.
• After reaching level 9, a new gold quest will appear from an elderly NPC nearby. <Ascension> is the name of the quest, and it will teleport you back to the lake outside Akarios Village. While standing near the island, open your inventory and navigate to the white bottle in your special cube. Right click on it and once it’s full, make your way into the nearby forest once again to speak to the quest indicated magical tree NPC.
• Speak to the tree, and he will send you back to Pernos, where you can continue your Ascension. Once you talk to him, you will be teleported to a mysterious place where you will need to battle a few monsters, before Pernos appears to you once again.
• Choose your character’s class from the dialog here, and you will be brought back outside. Speak to Pernos again and tell him you are ready to depart, to be teleported to Sanctum.
• When in Sanctum, follow the gold quest markers on your map to complete <A Ceremony in Sanctum> and become a fully fledged Daeva! By the time all this is done, you should be level 11 and ready to head to Verteron.

Levels 11-27 (Verteron)
Once you have ascended and claimed your gifts from your respective Preceptor, your first quest should be given to you automatically; <Dispatch to Verteron>! Talk to the Sanctum Teleporter to continue the quest, then use him to teleport to Verteron.

• Once you make it to Verteron and follow the dark blue quest indicator to complete <Dispatch to Verteron>, You can either kill monsters until you hit level 20, or you can start on campaigns with the Quest <Getting Rid of Floating Objects in the Verteron Citadel>.
• Fly up above the fort and follow the gold quest indicator to progress and complete the quest.

Note: Killing monsters around the same level as you will give you more experience points than killing ones which are much lower level.​

• Once this quest is finished, <Concern in the Tolbus Forest> is the next gold quest you will be working on. Kill 5 Rakeclaw Frillnecks followed by Giant Rakeclaw Frillnecks. The final part of the quest is to kill Trandilla.
• After completing that quest, you should be around level 17. Take the quest <Prevent the Purification> of Odium next. This is a simple kill quest and can be completed by eliminating 5 Dukaki Miners and 3 Tursin Protectors.
• After talking to the quest NPC you’ll want to fly back to Verteron Citadel. Talk to Alisdair and accept the <[Instance] Illegal Odium> quest.
• Use the flight transporter near the teleporter to fly to Verteron Observatory. Once you land, talk to Zephyros and progress the quest. You can find the Suspicious Odium Pieces on the shore near the Haramel dungeon entrance.

• Once you have found the Suspicious Odium Pieces, head to the Haramel entrance and complete the cutscene before heading inside. This dungeon has monsters that are fairly easy to kill, and give a lot of experience. Accept the quests <The Deal> and <Loosen That Tongue> from the shugo located just inside, and proceed through the dungeon. Make sure you kill all the monsters as you go through! Some drop special items.
• The quests through this dungeon are all dark blue and worth picking up, as they are either simple kill quests or gathering quests for items you will find as you proceed through the dungeon.
• Once you have completed the dungeon and handed in all the dark blue quests (including the one you hand in outside), you should be around level 24! Head back to Verteron Citadel using the flight transporter and look for the gold quest <Deeply Rooted Thirst for Vengeance> as well as <Conspiracy of the Tursin Krall>.
• You will need to kill Veteran Tursin monsters and loot their bodies to acquire the items for <Conspiracy of the Tursin Krall> quest, and then go for a lovely walk through enemy territory to get to the area for the other quest.
• Follow your map and the gold quest indicator through the Tursin Garrison, following the quest prompts as you proceed. You will need to kill specific monsters for their Insignia of the Tursin Krall in this area. Once you have collected 10, make your way back to Verteron Citadel and talk to Spatalos. The final quest can be found here, and is called <Driving Power>.
• Once accepted, you are teleported to the Abyss Gate. Enter the Abyss Gate and eliminate the monsters inside. Activate the stone pillar and return to Verteron Citadel to complete the quest. This should get you to around level 27. Now it’s time to move to the next map; Eltnen!

You will teleport to Kaidan Mine where you need to kill a Kaidan Bigmouth for the gold quest and Mamaki Butchers or Brawlers for the dark blue quest.
• You can also take the dark blue quest from the NPC in a cage near where you are teleported. <Breaking the Fighting Spirit> is another kill/loot quest that has you defeating specific monsters and bringing proof to the appropriate NPC.
• Make sure you do not continue the gold quest until you have completed all the dark blue quests in this area. Once you turn in the dark blue quests you have been working on, a new one will appear from Hierni to kill more monsters in the area.
• Once you are finished with all the dark blue quests, talk to Captured Gardugu and continue the gold quest. He will teleport you to the next quest NPC, Mabangtah. Completing the quest by talking to him will get you to level 32.

Once inside, you will be able to fly to the different areas and eliminate the specified monsters in order to collect the items required for the quest. Make sure to loot the item from the monsters!
• While you are in this area, make sure you complete the dark blue quests <Expert Advice> and <Practical Aerobatics> for some easy experience.
• Once you have all the fragments, exit the area the same way you entered in and talk to Axelion. To complete the quest, talk to Castor. This should also give you another level or even two.
• To continue with the gold quest line, you will need to increase our level a bit more. The dark blue quest <Killing for Castor> will be where you start, as you are already in the area. Accept the quest and head into the desert nearby to eliminate the specified monsters.
• By the time you finish this quest and turn it in, you should be around level 35.
• Eltnen Observatory is your next destination, where you will find the gold quest <Crisis Looming in Eltnen>. Tumblusen, at the top of the tower where the gold marker points, will start this quest for you.
• You should also accept the dark blue quest <Mamaki Tribe Patrol> for some additional experience and item rewards.
• After eliminating the monster for the gold quest, you will need to make your way to Mabangtah. Continue the gold quest and it will teleport you back to Tumblusen, where you can accept the next part and head into the heart of enemy territory to eliminate the monsters for this quest and the dark blue one you picked up earlier.
• After killing all the necessary monsters, return to the Eltnen Observatory and talk to the quest NPC one more time before returning to Eltnen Fortress to finish the quest.
• The final quest is <Eltnen Invasion>, where you will be teleported to Mabangtah once again. You will go through another Abyss Gate, but this time you will be defending an NPC inside from waves of oncoming monsters.

• To start, fly to the Heiron Observatory and accept the dark blue quests <Peel me a Rotron> and <Agrint Agro> alongside the gold quest <Gathering Root Samples>.
• These are all fairly simple kill quests. Head to the indicated area and eliminate the monsters specified by the quests. Remember to loot the items for these quests!
• Once you’ve eliminated all the required enemies and gathered the materials, return to the Heiron Observatory and turn in the quests. Afterwards, you will be flying to Arbolu’s Haven.
• Here, you will find Mersiphon, where you can continue the <Gathering Root Samples> quest. Speak to the NPCs indicated by the gold quest marker until you complete the quest.
• In this area, there are a number of quests you can take. <Dignity and Bluster>, <Discoloured Bones> and <Dead Porgus Walking> are all dark blue quests worth taking. <Eternal Silence> is the gold quest in this area, which you will also be taking from an NPC named Tessia.
• Most of these are either kill quests or kill/loot quests. Head to the indicated area on your map and eliminate the indicated monsters. You will also be picking up bone piles off the ground, so keep an eye out as you walk.
• Talk to Kacias to accept the gold and dark blue quests he offers.
• Most of the quests here are still kill or kill/loot quests, but the gold one is different. This time, you will be moving around the indicated area of the map in search of 4 friendly undead monsters. Talking to them will allow you to continue dialogue which will give you the required items for the gold quest.
• Once everything is eliminated or picked up, head back and hand in the quests. The gold quest will send you out one more time to a nearby graveyard, where you will need to interact with a grave in the middle. Once that is finished, head back to where the gold quest indicates to turn it in. You should be around level 47 by the time all of these are finished!

• Your next quest comes from Atalante as well. It is called <The Battle of Nutemagna>, which requires you to fly to the Reaper Squad Outpost.
• Yavlantia will give you the next part of this gold quest, which tells you to kill monsters and destroy specific weapons.
• Head to the Nute Warrens and proceed with the quest. Be careful in this area, as some of the monsters are powerful!
• Once you finish, head back to Yavlantia to continue the quest then head to the Reaper Squad Outpost to finish it. You should be level 50 by this point.

Quests for Level 50-54 (Inggison)​

Blue Quests:

• None Required

Gold Quests:

• Inggison Reinforcements
• The Petrification
• The Secret of the Underground Temple

Spoiler: Levels 50-54 Expanded

Level 50-54 (Inggison)
To start the Inggison quest line, you will need to head to Sanctum and go to the area above the crafter’s hall using the elevator in the middle of the building. This will lead you to a room high above Sanctum, where Fasimedes waits to offer you the gold quest <Inggison Reinforcements>.

• Once you’ve accepted the <Inggison Reinforcements> quest, head to the Cloister of Kaisinel which is accessible through the gold statue found near the teleporter area in Sanctum.
• Speak to Ermitia to progress the quest, then head back outside and make your way to the Sanctum docks.
• Speak to Sibylle and you will be teleported to Inggison. From there, head up to the top area of the fortress town and speak with the gold quest NPCs. Continuing the quest, head out into the wilds around the fortress as indicated and restore the broken/damaged obelisks.
• After the obelisks are restored, your quest will update and you will need to kill several monsters in a specified area. Once the monsters are killed, return to Inggison Illusion Fortress and turn in the quest.
• The next gold quest will take you to the lower portion of the map, specifically to the Soteria Sanctuary. Speak to Pomponia and accept <The Petrification>, then head to Sulla and continue the quest dialog. You will be going for a walk from here, over to Philon’s Campsite.
• Continue speaking to the NPCs indicated by the gold quest marker on your map until you receive the order to retrieve samples from nearby objects. Go to the indicated areas and interact with the objects to acquire the samples.
• Once this part of the quest is completed, head back to Pomponia and complete the quest. This should put you at around level 54.
  
• Depending on what level you are at once this is finished, you may need to also follow the next gold quest in this map's set of campaigns. <The Secret of the Underground Temple> is a gold quest that takes you to the top portion of Inggison, where you will need to investigate certain rumours about the area. Your goal is to finish this area at level 54.

Level 54-60 (Beshmundir Temple)​

The fastest, easiest way to gain these levels is by asking someone to hold group for you in LFG and going through Beshmundir Temple (Easymode). Kill all the monsters you can find/access, until you reach level 60-61. You may need to do this more than one time, and possibly ask for help fighting certain bosses.
Alternatively, you can do the gold quests The Secret of Taloc and Attack Preparations and it should put you close to your level goal. You may need to complete a few dark blue quests as well, to reach your goal of level 60.

Spoiler: Levels 54-60+ Expanded

Level 54-60+ (Silentra Canyon/Beshmundir Temple)
Once you reach level 54, you are able to enter Beshmundir Temple (Normal Mode) to farm levels. This is a group instance, however you can get around that by asking for someone to “Hold group” for you in LFG (/3) chat. Once you are in a group, you can travel to Silentra Canyon through the door located between the two forts in Inggison. Travel through the halls of Silentra Canyon, heading towards the Beshmundir Temple instance marker on your map. Once you reach the entrance, make sure you enter the dungeon through Normal Mode.

• Now that you are inside Besh, you can begin eliminating the monsters inside to gain a large amount of experience. These monsters are strong, so be careful not to draw the attention of too many at once.
• Travel through the halls and eliminate all enemies. Killing the bosses near locked doors will unlock new areas of the dungeon, with more monsters for you to kill. Once you’ve gone as far as you can on your own, don’t be afraid to ask for help killing bosses.
• You will likely need to enter the dungeon more than once to get to level 61, but that is the goal.

Quests for Level 60+ (Signia)​

Blue Quests:

• Agonizing Hunger
• Coral Flowers
• Coral Horns
• Destruction of the Blackfins
• Raise Your Glasses
• The Mysterious Sword
• Eliminate the Garden Guardians

Gold Quests:

• Information Officer Nuves
• Mysterious Ruins
• Simple Gathering
• The Ruinseal Stones

Spoiler: Levels 60+ Expanded

Level 60+ (Signia)
The final steps of your leveling journey will take place in Signia. The campaigns here give a lot of experience, but be aware that Asmodians (the enemy player faction) can sometimes be found hunting for Elyos here. Stay aware of your surroundings as you progress through your last few levels!

• The first gold quest for Signia after the entry/introduction quest is <Mysterious Ruins>. Alongside this quest, you will be able to complete a few dark blue quests titled <Agonizing Hunger>, <Coral Flowers> and <Coral Horns>.
• Most of this gold quest and the dark blue quests just require you to go to specific locations and eliminate specific monsters or interact with certain objects. Follow the quest indicators on your map and remember to collect any items you need for the quests as you go.
• Once you’ve completed all of these quests, head back to the quest NPCs that offered them to you. Remember to use a <Recovery Tea - 100% Recovery> before you turn in the gold quests, as you will gain additional experience from Repose.
• <Simple Gathering> is the next gold quest you will be doing, alongside the dark blue quests <Destruction of the Blackfins>, <Raise Your Glasses> and <The Mysterious Sword>.
• As before, most of the blue quests are simple gathering or kill quests that can be completed in the same area as the gold quest. The gold quest requires you to visit various locations before reporting back to the Archeologist hiding in the Blackfin settlement.
• Once you have finished running errands for the Archeologist, you can report back to the quest NPCs and turn in everything at once. If you are using the <Recovery Tea - 100% Recovery> before you turn in the gold quests, you should be almost done by now!
• The last few quests you will need to complete are the gold quest, <The Ruinseal Stones> and the dark blue quest, <Eliminate the Garden Guardians>.
• <Eliminate the Garden Guardians> is a simple kill quest in the area, however the gold quest has a bit more to it. For the gold quest, you will need to start by eliminating Aetheric Field Protectors.
• Once you’ve done that, follow the quest indicator to speak to the gold quest NPC before you are directed to investigate an area. Walk around the general area until you get a cutscene and your quest updates.
• Once you hand in these quests, you should be level 65! Congratulations! Now, the real journey begins…
