AION 2.1 (KR) Goes Live, Drop Rate Increased
Oct 12th
Aion’s Patch 2.1(KR) The Golden Deva Syndrome officially went live on October 6th with greatly increased drop rates. Both instance and common mobs have been enhanced in the drop rate of items. It is easier to get top gear from bosses now. Even common mobs may drop skill books, stigma stones and refining stones.
This modification is based on players’ feedback that the game’s drop rates were not high and the waiting time of entering an instance again was too long. Nevertheless, not all players keep a positive attitude towards this change, so the AION forum begins to come alive.
A lot of players have obtained fabled equipment since October 6th.
Players have even put up posts in the forum to show off their equipment acquired from instances.
Some players object the increase of drop rates. The reason is that the main content of AION is instance and players always start the game from challenging an instance every day. The increase of drop rates may diminish the fun of challenging instances and affect the stable item price at the market.

Aion 2.0 – How Many People are Needed to Battle the Toughest Boss?
Sep 15th
Who’s the toughest boss in Aion 2.0? I will vote for the Governors of the two races: Marchutan’s agent Mastarius (Asmodians) and Kaisinel’s agent Vielle (Elyos). If a race conquers both fortresses in the opposing race’s region, the regional Governor will appear two hours later. Mastarius appears in the ancient city Marayas when Elyos occupy both fortresses in Gelkmaros.
Players are swarming to the boss
Why they are the toughest? First, these two Governors are at level 60, the highest level in Aion 2.0, second, when you (your faction) battle the boss, the opposite race’s players will come to protect their own governor, and third, they haven’t been taken down by anybody yet. More people are needed to make up the level gap between players and the Governors! Below are the pictures of the battle of Mastarius in a Korean server.
These players are still not enough…
Mastarius can receive blessings from every Asmodians player. Once receives 100 blessings he will release a range attack that can easily take down any Elyos players.
