After the destruction of the Tower in the Great Cataclysm, two races emerged. The graceful Elyos who live in Elysea, the lower half of Atreia that resides in sunlight, and the Asmodians who have evolved into taloned creatures from living in Asmodae, the upper half of Atreia that gets no sun. Sworn enemies, the Elyos and Asmodians continually battle for control of the Abyss.

If you’re an Asmodian, then read on to discover how to complete the starting quests in Ishalgen.
Aion Quest: On Your Feet!
“You need to wake up”, a voice says as you open your eyes and awaken in Aldelle Basin, Ishalgen. Your first quest is ‘On Your Feet!’ given to you by Asak, who stands a few meters away from where you have awoken. He is easy to spot with the blue arrow floating above his head.
The blue arrows indicate when an NPC (non-player character) has a quest available, and the blue arrows can also be seen on your map. To open your map, click ‘M’, or ‘N’ to open a transparent map that will guide you through Atreia. Quest reward for ‘On Your Feet!’ is 130xp and 160 kinah and Asak will send you to see Vandar.
Press ‘J’ to open your journal to view your quests as you collect them. You can ‘check’ quests to show up on the right hand side of your screen. You can show a maximum of 7 quests on your quest tracker, and you can have a maximum of 30 quests, not including campaign quests, before your journal is full.
The double arrow means you have a quest to complete or turn in, the blue star means you have a quest to turn in to get a reward. The reward for turning in this quest to Vandar is 130xp and 160 kinah.
Aion Quest: A Bloody Task
Vandar will then give you the quest ‘A Bloody Task’, where you will need to kill 4 Sprigg Workers. To locate Sprigg Workers simply open the quest in your journal, click on ‘Sprigg Workers’ which will open an small information box. Next, click ‘locate’ and your map will open up with an X marking the spot where you will find them.
Once you have completed the task, return to Vandar for your reward of 180xp, 240 kinah and some bandages, which you can use to heal yourself. You should be level 2 by this stage.
Aion Quests: Sprigg Report, Meeting the Fruit Quota and Sparkle and Shine
Vandar will have sent you to see his boss, Guheitun to give him ‘The Sprigg Report’. Once you do, Guheitum will reward you with 590xp and 820 kinah. Standing beside him is Vanar, who will give you the quest ‘Meeting the fruit Quota’.
For this quest you must collect fruit baskets from nearby Sprigg dens. They are easy to find and are usually next to fences or the Sprigg huts. Once you have collected all 5 fruit baskets, return to Vanar for your reward of 520xp and 1,540 kinah.
Next Vanar will have you collect glowing spheres from Hill Sparkies or Highland Sparkies. These flying creatures can be found all over the area. Once you have 3 glowing spheres, return to Vanar. He will reward you with 420xp and 1,060 kinah and give you A Bundle of Orders to deliver to Tobu in Aldelle Village.
