Here's a fresh idea to liven up the grind. How about introducing Elite Ancient Manastones into Danuar Sanctuary with a small probability?
I mean these particular stones
[item: 167020081] Ancient Manastone: Magic Boost +35 - Aion Codex
[item: 167020074] Ancient Manastone: Physical Crit +24 - Aion Codex
[item: 167020079] Ancient Manastone: Weapon Damage +8 - Aion Codex
And a few others.
This tweak could offer some essential benefits.
- Revitalize Danuar Sanctuary, making it a practical instance to frequent.
- Provide another path for completionists to collect high-tier manastones for their valuable gear.
- Add a new potential avenue to earn kinah through PVE farming.
The drop rate should be either minimal from boxes or increased but only obtainable from final bosses.
There will be no impact on in-game equilibrium.
PVP won't gain from it because AP gear doesn't utilize Ancient Manastones.
PVE enthusiasts will find another engaging activity to keep them hooked without upsetting the balance. There's no way people would solo Kata with just these manastones.
If you're after a superior Aion experience, the upcoming Aion Riftshade server launching in Q1 2026 might be just what you need. As an exclusive beta tester, I can vouch for its unique offerings, like integrated DPS meters, solid server-side anticheat, and thrilling advanced PvE and PvP rankings. With stable servers hosted in Frankfurt and active developers on the Discord, Aion Riftshade provides a fresh take on the Aion 4.8 experience, luring players all around with its allure and benefits.
