Aion 2 Elyos Leveling Guide, Levels 1–45
Verteron · Global · 9 maps · 51 sealed dungeons · 187 feather pickups. Follow the main story and max your Monolith along the way; every feather is on the interactive map. This is the complete route, not the fastest 45: rushing, follow the yellow arrows only and skip the feathers, sealed dungeons and green side quests, which leave nothing to do at 45.
Good habits
- Max your skills. Spend skill points as soon as you have them.
- Always equip better gear. Swap in every upgrade the moment it drops.
- Enhance each piece to +5 as you get it, and stop there: quest gear is replaced, as in the gear score guide. Under each map: the side quests that fill an empty accessory or rune slot.
- Collect titles and achievements as you go.
- If the story stops, it is waiting on an Ascension: fill the Ascension Gauge with a nearby green side quest or sealed dungeon, then do the Ascension quest from the Journal's Ascension tab.
- 3The order: each number sits on the arrow that arrives there
- Walk
- Side quests on the way, numbered after their yellow stop (3a, 3b …): they fill the Ascension Gauge the story waits on
- Teleport to a statue you have unlocked
- Leaves the map (its label says where you come back)
Sealed dungeon: 2 Daevanion and 2 skill points each
Feather: pick it up on the way
Map help
Just follow the arrows. When the story sends you back somewhere you have been, there is no new arrow: your quest tracker takes you, and the next arrow starts where you were. The maps start after the Poeta tutorial, which ends with the main quest Brigade Base Neutralization.
Tap a map for full size. Lines are drawn straight between places: they show the order, not the exact path.
Feathers, Monolith and titles
Feathers raise the Monolith, whose top level, 30, takes 560 points. On Global each pickup gives 3, so it takes 187 pickups; the route has 187. We picked the ones that add the least walking. Every feather location is on the interactive map. Hand the feathers in at the Monolith to take its titles (each map says when you reach one):
- Level 10, Verteron Inquirer: 1.6% movement speed equipped; 70 points, 24 pickups. The route gets you there on map 2.
- Level 20, Guardian of Verteron: PvE Damage Boost 3% and Penetration 210 equipped; 235 points, 79 pickups. The route gets you there on map 3.2.
- Level 30, Saint of Verteron: Defense 300, Damage Tolerance 3% and Block 100 equipped; 560 points, 187 pickups. The route gets you there on map 5.2.
Levels 1–10: just follow the main story through the Poeta tutorial; there are no side quests, feathers or sealed dungeons there. The maps start at level 10.
