NCsoft statement about upcoming xp progression in Aion
NCsoft has released a statement to the community about character progression with some interesting solutions:
1. Implementing double experience weekends over the next three weeks for levels 1-35
2. Soul Healing will be less expensive for characters of all levels
3. Increasing the experience bonus that Energy of Repose bestows for levels 20-44
Greetings, Daevas!
We’ve heard your feedback that the experience curve can be steep in certain levels of Aion, and over the last couple of weeks, we’ve been evaluating how we want to address this issue to provide for smoother character progression. While we’re committed to providing a permanent solution, our long-term plans require development time. As part of that process, we are implementing a temporary enhancement so that you can feel immediate benefits that we’re excited to be rolling out this weekend.
To aid you in your travels we will be implementing double experience weekends over the next three weeks. These bonus weekends will affect characters levels 1-35. This includes crafting and gathering experience as well. After the upcoming three weekends, we plan on hosting bonus experience weekends once or twice a month. We want to make it easier for you to experience what Aion has to offer for your characters after level 35.
We are also adding a few permanent benefits with this week’s patch. Soul Healing will be less expensive for characters of all levels, and we’re increasing the experience bonus that Energy of Repose bestows for levels 20-44.
While the above is an interim solution, we will be addressing the character progression experience curve with a sizeable patch next year. We look forward to hearing your comments, and we hope you have fun during these bonus weekends. Make sure to tell your friends -the more the merrier!

How to resurrect yourself at the current spot?
After 20 levels of beautiful and friendly PvE zones, my first contact with PvP zone wasn’t very successful. No mater if you die because of a monster or unfriendly Asmodian/Elyos hand, the result is the same – you are dead. Usually you can resurrect immediately at obelisk spot, but it is much more convenient to be resurrect by someone at the current spot, so you don’t have to run all the way back. If you cannot find anyone to resurrect you within 30 minutes you have to use your obelisk resurrection.
But how to resurrect yourself at the current spot?
There are two stones that will resurrect you at the current location: Reviving Elemental Stone and Tombstone of Revival. The first one you can only get as a quest reward and the second one can be bought at Abbys for 500 Abyss Points at Consumable Items Contributor Deucalion (for Elyos).
Note: After being resurrected with any of these stones you’ll still have the death penalty effect.
The following quests have Reviving Elemental Stone as a reward:
Asmodians
- Reclaiming History level 26
- Looking for Leibo level 31
- Defeat 3rd Rank Elyos Soldiers level 32
- Belated Regretlevel 44
- [Group] A Mysterious Book level 45
- For Virhu level 46
- Retrieving the Contaminated Seeds level 47
Elyos
- Dispelling Ancient Spirits level 17
- Bearer of Bad News level 28
- Fragment of Memory level 31
- Defeat 3rd Rank Asmodian Soldiers level 32
- The Priest’s Nightmare level 38
- A Statue that Came to Life level 50
