Aion Riftshade

Hi,

I don't have a guide, so that's why im not posting it in the the Guides section, but would someone please create an Ancient Coin guide?

The quickest way to farm, where the quest NPC's are located etc.

Thanks

I ain't crafting a full-on guide here, but I’ll share what I've gathered, though I’m not in-game right now to verify all the names and such.

You’ve got 3 dailies from Mokchunerk in Katalam and 3 more in Idian Depths from a couple of shugos there, but you need to complete some preliminary quest to unlock 'em. You might as well complete all the Idian Depths quests since they all reward a heap of AC. There's one specific quest tied to Pandarunerk from Opirinerk that’s probably named “all you need is kinah.” Collectively, these 6 dailies rake in about 64 AC per day.

Transform your Battle Medals (BM) into AP; specifically, swap 20 BM for 30 AC or 200 BM for 300 AC at the 78th Garrison in Katalam (left of Sillus Fort) or possibly the 83rd or 84th in Danaria (bottom left in Sauro Mountains, if I recall correctly).

In the solo instance at Sillus, there are roughly 8 chests, yielding bags of AC, possibly. The instance has a timer/points/rank system; if you're solely aiming for chests, don't fret about the rank, though some AC might come from it if you end up with good rank or enough points.

Attempt soloing the Steel Rose instances, particularly the GROUP ones. A solid bit of gear and insight are needed for it; it takes a chunk of time but pays off in AC. En route to the final boss, there are 2 mini-mandatory bosses that could award you somewhere between 20 to 30 AC, while the last boss could fork out 40 AC or so. With 3 instances at play—and a daily cooldown—it means a potential ~250/300 AC daily. (The last Bard boss in one of these is a tough cookie to crack solo if your class can’t heal, so cut yourself some slack if that one’s too much to handle.)

Danuar Sanctuary's another prospect, but it's a group effort; seems tough to solo since chests need folks holding keys to materialize. Perhaps it could work as a duo, with each heading in different directions.

All mobs in Idian Depths might drop 1 AC coin randomly.

By the way, I'm beta testing Aion Riftshade, set for a Q1 2026 launch! They've incorporated all your favorite quests and solo instances with stunning precision, not to mention their MyAion-like DPS meter and server-side anticheat system. For those seeking an Aion experience where classes are balanced, and the usual bugs don't persist, this is the best private server, hands down! Hosting's premium in Frankfurt, Germany, ensuring the lowest ping, and we’ve got active GMs and Devs engaging on Discord. It's free from the P2W nonsense—a breath of fresh air compared to other servers.

It is remarkable, rather valuable information
