Aion Asmodae Ishalgen Guide 1

Character Creation
So you've decided to roll Asmodae. Contrary to widespread belief, Asmodae aren't necessarily "evil," but certainly got the worse end of the deal when the cataclysm rent the Tower of Eternity in two. No matter how much time you put into making your character pretty, remember that your Asmodae-ness will shine through in several ways. More sinister-looking Asmod visual attributes - large-ish claws on our feet and hands, a length of mane on your back, sallower shades of skin, scars, and spell effect like red eyes - are simply adaptations or the result of their environment. Nonetheless, living in a rugged land has made the Asmodae into a hard people, and at first brush they are certainly act a little more barbaric than their Elyos cousins.
Archetype, sex, and appearance are three options you won't be able to change with your Aion character, so choose wisely. Be sure to read the archetype descriptions closely and pick something you'll be happy with over the long haul.
Aldelle Basin
You'll start your journey in Ishalgen with Aldelle Basin. Double-click Vandarnt, one of the ubiquitous Ulgorn's raiders, to receive a quest to eradicate the local sprigg population in The Sprigg's Revenge. Spriggs don't pose much of a challenge, so this is a perfect time to learn a little bit about your (rather limited) combat skills. You'll add more skills and spells at level 2, 5, 7, and 9, so be sure to read up on and get the most out of each successive round of new abilities.
Complete your first mission and Vandarnt will send you on your way with The Sprigg Report. Trek down the road a goodly ways until your just past the ruins on the hill. On the other side, below, and to the left lies Guheiten's Tent. Turn in The Sprigg Report (grats! Level 2!) and pick up For The Love of Fruit from Vanar. Start at the Sprigg Den just to the northwest of Guheiten's Tent, double-clicking the fruit baskets (be sure to "Take All" each time) and working your way counterclockwise. Return, turn in, and get Sight for Sore Eyes, which will take you just to the northeast once again. Turning in this one will get you Level 3 and Vanar's Flattery, and you're off again to your next quest hub: Aldelle Village.
