AION Classic Reveals Exclusive Character Class In Next Update

AION Classic has revealed a brand new major update coming to the game shortly, as Rise Of The Revenant brings an exclusive class.

NCSoft and Gameforge have announced a new major update coming to AION Classic this month, as you're getting a new exclusive class in Rise Of The Revenant. The official number for this is Update 2.7, as players will experience the new Revenant class, designed to be both vicious and elegant in their approach to combat. The class is made up of Daeva soldiers who were taken prisoner by Tiamat's Legion, then brainwashed and experimented on to make them what they are today. Only now they have regained their memories and are now ruthless toward their superiors. The team didn't put a hard date on when the update would be coming beyond the word "soon," but we do have the teaser trailer and info on what's to come here.

AION Classic – Update 2.7

Update 2.7 brings with it a newly added starting region, Telos, accessible exclusively by Soldiers (starting class) and Revenants (Soldiers who've become Revenants by completing special missions). Created by Siel's Relic, Telos is a space where the memories of Tiamat and Daeva Subject 707 have coalesced, creating an unstable spacetime flux. However, the trade-off is that the Revenant class cannot complete certain campaigns in Ishalgen, Altgard, Poeta, and Verteron.

Rise of the Revenant

• A new instance: Sunken Telos has been added
  • Can be entered through Silentera Canyon 
  • Playable by two to six players, level 51 or higher
  • Accessible once per week (resets Wednesday 09:00 CET)
• The Red Throne: Telos has been added
  • Can be entered through Silentera Canyon 
  • Playable by two to six players, level 55 only
  • Accessible once per week (resets Wednesday 09:00 CET)
• Abyssal Splinter can now be entered by the faction not occupying the Divine Fortress

Additionally, new systems such as the Book of Legends and Moreth, Chronicle of Time have been added. The Book of Legends system is completed by collecting items through adventures in Atreia, with special rewards obtained after completion. This can be done on a character-by-character basis. The Moreth, Chronicle of Time system is for characters above level 50. Points for leveling up the system are obtained by recording items, with 50 being the maximum level the system can reach. A PvE skill can be received as reward, which deals more damage against Balaur, with the damage increasing the higher the Moreth level.
