NC’s update of November 11 changes three things in an AION 2 week: Abyssal Forge: Ludra gets twice the time and a reward group that always drops, the Fire Temple and the Ferocious Horn Den get a Hard mode at item level 2,800, and Abyss Points come faster without PvP. Here is what NC’s patch notes, published at 08:40 UTC during the maintenance (06:30 to 11:00 UTC), change for you.

Abyssal Forge: Ludra, on Normal and Hard

Before November 11 Since November 11
Time limit 1 hour a run 2 hours a run
Central Abyss Fusion Reactor — less HP
Reward Group 5 drop rate 30% 100%

Reward Group 5 also gains Wrathful Mind, Wrathful Will and Wrathful Ego (Bound). NC leaves the item levels to enter as they were, 2,800 on Normal and 3,000 on Hard: the rest of the raid is in our patch notes of November 4.

Hard mode for the Fire Temple and the Ferocious Horn Den

  • To enter: item level 2,800. The boss’s Frenzy timer is 4 minutes, and each player has 3 revives.
  • Guaranteed: the dungeon’s own Ariel Fragment (Bound), at 100%. Philosopher’s Stone: Revelation (Bound) can drop, and can also be picked as the guaranteed reward.
  • Also: more Kina than on Normal, every Unique crafting material, Wrathful Mind, Wrathful Will and Wrathful Ego, and a chance at an Expedition Hero Artwork. New Expedition (Hard) achievements give Unique Skins.
  • Substance Morph: 100 Ariel Fragments make a Daevanion Crystal: Ariel (Bound), up to 30 times per character (Special > Daevanion); 1 Ariel Fragment makes 5 Enhance Stones, with no limit (Special > Consumables).

Krao Cave and Draupnir have had their Hard mode since October 21: our Hard mode article explains the Ariel board that the fragments fill.

Abyss Points without PvP

  • Duties give 2,500 Abyss Points instead of 1,000.
  • A new weekly Season Mission for the Shugo Festival gives more.
  • Chaotic Outer Reshanta gives more Abyss Points; NC gives no number.
  • The weekly Season Missions of the Transcendence Dungeons, Way of the Transcended Steps 1 to 3, now give 1 Sync Stone (Unique) (Bound) each: up to 3 a week.

Our daily and weekly checklist keeps track of your Duties and weekly runs.

Bound Kina, longer buffs

  • The Kina from the Tier 1 dungeons Krao Cave Conquest and Draupnir Conquest, and from Lower Abyss monsters, is now Kina (Bound).
  • Potions, food and scrolls with a 5-minute effect now last 10 minutes, and the effect stays after death and resurrection.

The shop, November 11 to 25

Item Price
Shadowtail Feline, Sharp Slim-Fit Suit, Casual Hoodie (armor skin sets) $29.99 each
Night Cat Claw (weapon skin, one per class) $11.99
Pet: Prissypaws, Pet: Babymeow (once per server) $19.99 each
Creepy Night Cat Wings (once per character) $19.99
12 cat helms and decorations 300 Quna each

On sale from the end of this maintenance to the maintenance of November 25, at the Purple Store’s prices; other stores may differ.

Fixes

  • Dungeon graphics now preload, to cut the short freezes during play.
  • Fixed: the underwater gauge dropping in some underwater Seal Dungeons, progress sometimes blocked in Zikel’s Sanctum (the Asmodian quest dungeon), and Ludra’s Trial not resetting after a party wipe.
  • If the November 4 change to the guaranteed Expedition (Exploration) rewards cost you one, NC delivers an Armor Selection Chest (Bound) for each dungeon to your Cube during this maintenance.
