The Stigma System

Aion's Stigma System allows players to further customize their characters, so that players of the same class are not necessarily identical in their abilities.

Sealed within each Stigma Stone is a powerful skill that makes a significant addition to your character's aresenal. While some of these stones are readily available, others can be very rare and therefore prestigious. Stigma Stones can be equipped on your character through the Stigma panel. The number of Stigma Stones you can equip depends on the level of your character.


1. Number of Stigma Slots

Each character can equip up to 5 stigma stones.
However, with the current level cap at 45, you will be able to equip a maximum of 4.

Level 20: 2 Stigma Slots
Level 30: 3 Stigma Slots
Level 40: 4 Stigma Slots


The Stigma Panel


2. Stigma Quest

In order to gain access to your stigma panel, you will need to complete a quest.
The quest can be acquired at Level 20, and is common for all classes of the same race.


You will be asked to complete an extensive quest to earn your first stigma slots.


3. Stigma Stones

Upon completing the stigma quest you will receive your first stigma stone. Other stigma stones can be acquired as drops from monsters. Regular monsters drop stigma stones very rarely, while named monsters are more likely to have one in their possession.

Stigma stones can be traded, so you can always acquire it from other players if you don't want to test your luck at a drop.


You'll often get other classes' stigma stones as drops


4. Equipping Stigma Stones

In order to equip a stigma stone you will need to talk to a Stigma Master, located in major cities.
You will also need to have the required number of Stigma Shards. The number depends on the level of the Stigma Skill.

Stigma shards are common drops from monsters in the Abyss area. You also get shards as a reward from the Stigma quest (1 time only).

Shards consumed when equipping a Stigma stone will not be returned if you unequip the stone, so be very sure when you choose which Stigma stones to equip.


The Stigma master asking for 172 shards for an equip.

5. Stigma Skills per Class

Note: Changes made to the stigma system since CBT are for testing purposes and are not necessarily final. For example, it doesn't necessarily mean you won't be able to equip other classes' stigmas forever.

The Drakens were Atreia's first beings, but as they grew stronger and prouder they challenged Aion and became a destructive force to Atreia itself. In order to protect the Tower of Eternity, twelve Empyrean Lords were sent as guardians against the Draken warriors who had named themselves the Balaur. After a long war however the Tower was destroyed, and the world of Atreia was split in two.

A brief introduction to the twelve Empyrean Lords:
(Note: These names will also be the names of the Servers for open beta -- in Korea and presumably in the west also)

Rifts are portals that allow Elyos and Asmodians to travel between their two worlds for the sole purpose of PvP. This opens up the possibility of PvP outside of the Abyss, not only providing a unique scenario but also eliminating any possible interference from the Balaur.


Game Implementation

These rifts have been reported to spawn anywhere at random. They are typically linked between zones that are of similar levels, though they've been known to occasionally create unbalanced links between high and low leveled areas.
Whenever a rift opens up, it will appear as a large indentation in the sky. Players will thus be able to tell what kind of portal has opened up without having to travel to the location. Portals will not appear in beginner zones, a game mechanic protecting new players from the harsh future of Aion.


Reported paths

While the specifics behind rifts are yet to be fully uncovered some believe there to be a preset number of possible rifts from which the game randomly selects and activates, whether that process is in itself random or externally controlled is unknown.

The Abyss

Original Source

Abyss Contents	Description
Fortress Sieges	In the Abyss, 9 Fortresses and 31 Artifacts exist, all waiting to be conquered by players from both playable factions. The fight for fortress possession begins after defeating the Fortress Guardian.
Artifacts	Artifacts add a dynamic element to the cross faction pvp during fortress sieges. These artifacts once activated will activate a skill which affects a very large area on the battle front. The types of skills range from: protective barrier to friendly forces, protective buffs to healing type classes, mass polymorphing to enemy targets, and offensive buffs to damage dealers.
Dreadgion	It is impossible to predict the outcome if a battle between the factions when the Baluar are involved. The Baluar exist to balance the power between the Elyos and Asmodians but also have their own agenda and can pose a threat to both factions. At the center of the Baluar is the Dreadgion. The Dreadgion is a giant battleship and can randomly appear at the Abyss. Once it appears, a number of Baluar minions may drop down from the ship, or at the ship may directly engage players in battle.
Abyss Quests	While questing in the Abyss, monsters as well as other faction players will have to be watched out for. Additional Abyss Points will be rewarded by participating in PvP and RvR battles.
Abyss Rewards	One can achieve hero status by acquiring Abyss Points in PvP combat. Upon achieving a high rank a set of skills opens up that boosts the player up to a force-group level and is able to overpower normal players with great strength.

To enter the Abyss

Each faction has 4 quests which must be completed in order to gian access to the Abyss. The quests are obtained at level 25, and compared to the other quests, has a higher difficulty level. The final quest requires the player to fly through a set of gates within a time limit and can be very difficult, so the locations of all the gates must be known prior to starting the quest as well as having all the necessary flight improvements.

Abyss Quests Unlike the quests which require you to travel to the enemy faction zones to complete, Abyss quests are done by both factions within the same zone, so one must be alert of their surroundings while questing in the Abyss. Ganking is very common in the Abyss.


How to enter the Abyss
Each faction has Abyss Gateways in particular zones, which are used to enter the Abyss. These gateways can only be used once Abyss entry quests are all completed.

The Elyos have gateways in the skies above Verteron Fortress and one floating above Eltenen Fortress. Asmodian gateways are located in the skies above Altgard, Morheim and Belruslan Fortresses.

After going through the Abyss gateways you will arrive at Teminon Stronghold(Elyos) or Primum Stronghold(Asmodian).



Faction Strongholds
[table][tr][td vAlign=top]Upon entering the Abyss, players will start at their faction strongholds, Teminon(Elyos) or Primum(Asmodian).Various NPCs and quest givers are available at the strongholds. While in the Abyss, players can earn Qina as well as Abyss Points, which can be used tot purchase equipment and items.

Abyss Points can be earned by completing quests, killing monsters or players of the other faction. Items can be purchased with Abyss Points from the rewards NPC. Various towers are placed at the strongholds. These towers can teleport players back to their faction towns for a small fee.



The Abyss Structure

As already mentioned, the Abyss consists of Lower, Upper and Core sections, with each section containing monsters of varying levels. It is recommended that players level or quest in the zones appropriate to their character level. There are 9 fortresses and 31 artifacts scattered around the Abyss. Fortress and artifact siege status' can be viewed from the ingame map.

To reach the Upper Abyss, one must travel through the beam of light on either East Rateslan or West Rateslan. Travel can also be done from the teleporters inside the fortresses depending which faction owns the fortress.

The Divine fortress at the core of the Abyss can be reached from the Eye of Eleshuranta in the Upper Abyss. If the core is held by either the Elyos or Asmodian factions, the teleport route to the core will be available.



Abyss Points

Abyss Points are required to increase PvP ranks and the purchasing of PvP items. Your current Abyss Points and rank can be checked from the Abyss tab in the character information window. Abyss Points are gained from killing players of the opposing factions and monsters, however being killed in PvP or PvE combat will decrease your points. Purchasing items with Abyss Points will also decrease the amount of points you have. Your current Abyss Points will determine your rank, so using your points up could lower your rank.

Gaining and losing Abyss Points

Gaining Abyss Points Losing Abyss Points
● Killing other faction players
● Killing other faction NPCs
● Killing Abyss monsters
● Completing quests ● Dying to other faction players
● Dying to other faction NPCs
● Dying to Abyss monsters
● Purchasing Abyss items




Abyss Ranks
[table][tr][td vAlign=top]Possessing a Fortress in the Abyss, killing enemy faction players and NPCs, and completing quests are ways to receive Abyss Points. Abyss equipment and consumables may be purchased with Abyss Points, however it is the amount of points a player has that determines his/her Abyss Rank. Purchasing Abyss gear will lower your Abyss Points and may affect your rank, so one must decide whether to keep their rank or to purchase better items.

There are 18 ranks in total, and below is a table listing the different ranks, titles and amount of Abyss Points required per rank. Grade 5 Officers to High Commander will have access to special skills. These skills surpass the abilities of regular skills by far, and can only be used within the Abyss. Ranking up further will allow these skills to become even more powerful. Dropping below the Grade 5 Officer rank will take away these abilities.
