That's right, folks. Just a few moments ago, NC West officially dropped Aion's Non-Disclosure Agreement!
What does that mean for you?
That means you are now able to post quest texts, gear info, UI screenshots- basically all Aion client info is now able to be public knowledge.
What does that mean for AionSource?
It means we can now reveal the details of the [URL="http://www.aionarmory.com"]AionSource Secret Project[/URL] that [URL="http://www.aionsource.com/forum/site-feedback/16599-aionsource-secret-project.html"]everyone has been speculating about[/URL]!

Feature Overview We've taken a refined approach to quality, presentation, and the information you can access with AionArmory. Listed below are just some of the features of this brand-new Aion database, with many more to come in the months ahead. While browsing this feature overview, don't forget to click on the images to see larger versions!
Homepage The homepage of AionArmory is designed to be a sleek, easy-to-use page that enables access to not only the website's powerful search engine, but also drop-down menus containing links to every section of the website. Of course, we've also spruced the page up with fantastic eye-candy, which will no doubt leave you salivating for Aion even more!
Search AssistantEver wanted to find something, but you're not completely sure how to spell the name? The AionArmory Search Assistant is there to help you with just that! Start typing in your search query into the search field and the Search Assistant will give you suggestions on content in the database, related to what you've typed in. Check out the example here to see just how cool it is.
Search Filters and BookmarkingHave you ever come up with a complex search filter on database websites in the past, and wished you could save that set of filters on the website, instead of having to clutter up your browser's bookmarks? With AionArmory, you can!
We have a robust search filter system, as well as the ability to save those filters in a special "Bookmarks" section that appears on all pages when logged in. You can save up to 20 Bookmarks, so check out the images below to see some examples. What could be better than that?

Quest MapsFinding information on a quest is great and all, but that doesn't tell you everything. Sure, you know what zone to go to when searching for the mob to kill, what NPC starts the quest, and what NPC ends the quest, but what if you knew every single available location of who starts it, who ends it, and every objective?
With AionArmory's quest maps, you can, and it's simple. Check out the images below for examples:

In addition to the Armory, there are other things that the NDA drop opens for us. You may have noticed our new [URL="http://www.aionsource.com/forum/general-guides/"]Game Guides[/URL] section of the forum. We have taken the time to put together a couple guides for everyone that should prove useful for this weekend's beta.
