Asmodian 1-10 Leveling Guide

Asmodian 1-10 Quick Start Guide:
Welcome to a quick start guide for the Asmodian faction. In this guide we will briefly cover what you need to do in order to hit level 10, as quickly as possible.



Below is a reference map for determining positions and locations mentioned in the guide.

With the guide, I will identify points on the map with (Point 1-13) to mark its location.




OK! Lets begin.


1.0-Starting Out

As soon as you enter the world, in the Aldelle Basin (Point 1), you will be greeted by and NPC a few steps down from where youre initially standing. Speak with him; he will then point you down the road (north) about 15 feet to speak with another NPC.

Once you speak with the second NPC he will assign you the task of killing 4 Spriggs, Dispatch of them quickly and speak with him a second time. Once you turn in the quest he will then dispatch you down the road. Follow the path in front of him until you run into a small camp.

* Reminder: When on your way to the next location, to collect Angelica. It will build your skill level and will assist in later quests. To collect it, simply find the pink colored plant and right-click it.

Once you reach the small encampment (Point 2), visit the local NPCs to turn in quests, and pick up the next quests from the NPC standing directly in front of the small tent.

The quest he provides requires you to collect Fruit from the Sprigg encampments.
  • Gather Fruit Baskets - Located north of the camp, they surround the small huts

When you have completed that quest, the next in line is to gather Glowing Orbs.
  • Gather Glowing Orbs - Can be dropped by flying "Sparkies" or ground walking "Sparkles" north of the campsite.

Once these two quests are completed, follow the road to the left of the camp south until you run into Aldelle Village. (Point 3)


1.1- Aldelle Village & Tunapre Lake

As soon as you walk across the bridge your first Campaign or Mission quest will automatically begin. Read through the information and continue into the village. Take care to speak with any/everyone with a yellow or blue arrow above their heads.


From here, we need to go over a small checklist of tasks you need to complete, before heading out of the village:
  • Once you grab all of the available quests, make sure to find youre Class Trainer. There will be one for each class scattered around the village, the class they train will be indicated under their names
  • Try and purchase as many skill manuals as you can. Also be sure to right-click them, when in your inventory to verify youve actually learned the skill. Then press the letter K to bring up your skill lists. From this screen you can drag and drop the desired skill into your hot bar, once youve purchased and used the manual.
  • Next, visit the armor & weapon dealer and scan the items for sale, checking for possible upgrades. Also make sure to click the Sell Misc button to get rid of all your trash and vendor-able items. This will generate some income and free up space.
  • Then, speak with the Soul Healer. She is located near the village entrance. She can provide some great information on how Soul Healing works, and how it affects you.
  • Bind to the stone next to the Soul Healer for a small fee. Binding allows your return spell to bind to a specific location. You can right-click the stone to bind to it.

Once the checklist is complete, hit J and track the quests you feel are applicable. This will display the objectives of each quest on screen for monitoring.

*Quest Tip If you hit the letter J on your keyboard and select the quest your currently in progress of doing, you will notice there are NPC and MOB names highlighted in blue.

This simply means youre able to find more information out about this MOB or NPC. If you open the quest, and select the MOB needed to complete the objective, in most cases you can click the Locate button and it will mark an area on the map where the mob tends to patrol. Some mobs will not be locatable, but most can be found with a little searching.


While I wont be covering each quest individually, I will try to generalize the best I can to ensure you have some exploring to do, on your own.


Head to Point 4 on the map, you will see a fisherman on the shore, grab the quest from him and follow the directions according. The flowers he requires are like Angelica and can be picked from various places around the tree in the center of the valley.

Here is a quick list of additional quests in this area, which you have obtained from Aldelle village that you will need to complete:

1.Gather 4 Grain-Located in the Sprigg camps (located on the outer edge around the tree)
2.Gather 5 Slink Oil - Kill Slinks for the drop
3.Gather 6 Airon Feathers - Birds in the water around the tree in the valley
4.Gather 10 Angelica - Should have this done already!! See section 1.0
5.Gather 6 Amepre Flowers - For the quest giver on the shore
6.After turning in the grain quest, the follow up will be to kill 6 Sprigg Gatherers


Once you gather the materials and killed the mobs required for quest turn in, head back to Aldelle village and turn in as many quests as you can. Once you have completed the quests,

* Note: Make sure that before progressing into the next area that your Gathering skill is at least 10.

Once you have turned in the quests, head back down the hill into the Valley and keep to the path on the left. Once you cross the bridge you will soon enter Munihele Forest. Check (Point 5) for the location.

Upon following the path through, you will run into a few more NPCs waiting on you to help them out.


  • Kill 10 Sylphids\Sparkys -You choose one or the other, they are scattered around the forest.
  • Find the Lost Ring- The ring is dropped by the Snufflers, they can be found around the base of the trees in the forest (they look like armadillos).
  • He also gives you a quest to return some tree sap (already in your inventory) to the armor smith back at Aldelle Village. Hold off on running back until you do the quest below.

Kill them until the Ring drops and return it to the quest NPC. The same goes for the NPC that needed you to slay a few bugs for him. Simply return to the NPCs and turn in you completed quests.


Regaining Power:

A little more up the path past the NPCs is a small dirt road; follow it until you see a small Cabin with an Old Witch outside of it (Point 6). The old lady will be able to help you in seeing your future as a Daeva. Once you speak with her you find yourself running a few errands. We will cover these with a quick list:
  • Kill 7 Darus - They look like goats. Can be found all around the forest
  • Gather Spores -Check for mushrooms found directly under trees at the base
  • Speak with Witch - you will be thrown into the Abyss (A vision)

*Once you are transported into the abyss, you will see your surroundings are drastically different and your clothes have changed.

Dont worry, this isnt permanent. Head up the ramp and speak with the NPC to continue through the Vision. They will send you on a pre-pathed flight through the abyss and when you land finally, you will be ported out.

Once you return to the normal world, proceed with speaking with her yet again.

Speak with her about Rae missing, she will have you speak to a Ribbit, choose the one named Cute Ribbit and then speak with Rae, once she is transformed back into her human form.

When you have completed this quest, use your Return Skill to port back to Aldelle Village. Once in the village, turn in all quests you have completed and check the Armor/Weapon smith for possible upgrades on your current gear. Dont forget to visit the trainer for skill updates as well.

When you are done shopping, head up the hill a bit and speak with the Flight Master and fly to Anturoon Cross on your map.



1.2- Anturoon Crossing Area (Point 7)
Once here you will again be greeted by a slew of quests. Turn in any quests you have available to turn in and begin collecting them up. Make sure to read as you go so youre not missing any vital information from the quest givers. Once you get here, the general vendor will have a quest you can turn in. Also, dont forget to bind here, look for the soul healer to find the bind point.

Once youve collected them all, we can begin going through them quickly. I will provide another list for the first run of quests for this area, there are more total quests, but we will break them down by area:

Anturoon Crossing:
  • Kill 9 Karnifs - Cat-like creatures, all around the area you landed.
  • Brax Skins - Large white and black buffalo looking creatures to the south of the Post.
  • Lepharist Manual - Kill the Lephar Revolutionaries on the hill near the Brax
  • Give an NPC a Whetstone -The NPC is located at the camp near the Prison Camp to the north of town.

* Note: only the adult Brax will drop the skins, killing the Brax calves is fruitless.

*Take note of the location of the NPC Skuld at the top of the hill behind where the Brax are located you will need to find her for another quest in the near future.

Anturoon Crossing Second Round:

Once you have turned in the first round of quests for the immediate area you will be able to grab a few additional. I will quickly cover them in list format as well:
  • Grab the Treasure map - On the pirate ship to the south of Anturoon, it will be sitting on a table with a knife through it.
  • Gather the Black Opal Treasure - In a cave to the west of Anturoon crossing near a whole pit of Karnifs.

Before leaving this area, continue your gathering skill to at least 15 on the Fruit Trees scattered around. You will need your skill up to 15 in order to mine ore required for another quest.


*Note: Finishing the Black Opal Quest line will give you the title Treasure hunter this adds an additional +4 Accuracy to your stats!


Once finished there, head north on the path to the right of the Anturoon post (Point 8). Here you will come into the Prison Camp. With-in this location you will find a few NPCs that need a few errands done. Below we will look at what needs to be completed.
  • Sparkle Legs - Located through out, the large bugs crawling about drop them
  • Amphis Thorn - Usually around trees or up against walls, resemble a tentacle
  • Collect Treasures of the Dead - Located on the undead lurking about with bags on their heads.

Once you have all these quests done, head further north until you reach a path leading into large purple colored crystals. Once at the top of the hill, you will see an NPC named Munin, he will have more quests available (Point 9). Grab the quests he provides and head back to Anturoon Crossing. You can either walk or use Return if its available.


1.3 Anturoon Crossing: Part 2

Once back at the post in Anturoon, head up the path to the left. As you begin to climb the hill, another small encampment of NPCs will be available for you to utilize (Point 10). They will be located to the left of the path. This time we will continue north into the Odella Plantation to complete these quests. (Between points 10 and 11)

There are a few quests here to complete and in interest of scooting you along without spoiling it, I will provide a quick run through on the quest requirements and the corresponding locations:
  • Mine 5 Iron Ore - Located around the outer edge of the hills throughout the map near the north.
  • Collect 5 Odella - These are dropped by the Sentrys that patrol the farmers crops
  • Mau Clothing Accessories - These drop off the Mau Fighters that patrol the paths throughout the farmland
  • Odella Juice - They are small round containers with a yellow top, scattered throughout the plantation.
  • Collect Ginseng Herb - These drop off the farmers and gatherers that roam the crop areas
  • Mau Grains - These also are scattered throughout the whole plantation, look for sacks stacked three tall
  • Collect Dried Ginseng Root - Also drops off of the farmers and gatherers around the crops
  • Collect Methu Eggs - Lying on the ground in a hen house guarded by a Patroller. Listen for the clucking/chirping.


Once all these are done, you will already have pending quests to return to Aldelle Village and speak with Ulgorn. Head back to the village using the flight path from Anturoon Crossing and speak with Ulgorn once you arrive; he will inform you that Rae his daughter, is missing!

Once he explains that he needs you to find his daughter, he will point you to a few NPCs to ask a couple questions for clues as to where she is located. The first is in Aldelle Village, head north down the path and you will see another quest giver, Read through the text and progress the quest to the next point. Before you leave Aldelle Village, be sure to speak with the armor dealer again and turn in that quest to progress it to the next point.

Once you are done turning everything in, head back to Anturoon Crossing.


1.4 Anturoon Crossing: Part 3
Now that we are back in Anturoon, turn in all available quests from doing the plantation quests, then head back up the hill to the left and turn in those quests to the NPCs located outside of the plantation in the small encampment to the left.

Once back, we have a few more things to straighten out. Speak with Derot and make sure you have the quest where he requires you to find a Magical Cube. Head back to the Prison Camp, when on your way back to the prison camp, stop a moment and:

1. Kill Woods Sparky until you find Sparky Eggs

Once youre done gathering the eggs head into the prison camp and start right-clicking on the Tomb Stones, this will spawn angry spirits that will attack. Dispatch of them quickly and once you find the cube, return to Derot in town.

He will point you back to Muninto open it. Return to Munin at the top of the hill in the prison camp and present your situation. He will require you to kill a few mobs that have been annoying him.
  • Kill 3 Sparkles for Munin - Again, the large ground walking bugs skittering about.

Once this is completed you can also turn in the quest for his delicacy if you have collected all 3 requirements he will present you with a hat as a reward.

By now, you should be around level 9. When you hit level 9 you will automatically get your Ascension quest. Go and See Munin to continue this quest line. He will have you collect three cards:
  • Card 1 - Urd - Located in Aldelle Village (Point 3)
  • Card 2 - Old Witch - Located in Munihele Forest (Point 6)
  • Card 3 - Skuld - Located near the Brax in Anturoon Crossing, she is on top of a hill in the south west corner (Point 13)

Once you have all 3 cards, head back to Munin.

Becoming a Daeva:

He will give you another vision like the one previous and send you into the abyss. Follow the path forward and speak with the NPC at the end of the path.

Once you speak with the NPC and the flight sequence ends, you will be attacked by 4 guards. Dispatch them quickly, soon after they are all dead you will be attacked by a brave Elyos Warrior. Once you have him nearly defeated a cut scene will ensue. Once this is over Munin will present you with the choice of which sub class you want to take.

Make sure you know what you want, the decision isnt reversible. Once you make your decision, you will be ported back to the prison camp. When you arrive choose not to go to Pandaemonium, we still have 2 more quests to complete.


Tightening up loose ends:

This Mission quest maybe difficult for some, so I will try and help you through it.

Head on back to the plantation, when you follow the path through, you will be presented with a fork in the road. Take the path going down into the valley to the left. Keep following the path down until you reach the Dubaro Vine Canyon. When you see the Cave going into the tree, head inside.

Once you follow the path around you will see another NPC hiding behind some logs. He will present you with a quest to:

1. Kill Cruel Hatata - Chieftain near the back of the canyon (Point 12)
2. Kill 1 Mau Fighter - They patrol through the cave paths. (Point 12)

As you head into the cave, you will need to stay the main path and head into the back. You will see a second opening entering into another cave; it will be heavily guarded by Patrolmen. Kill as many as you need and enter into the mouth. Hiding behind some barrels and rubbish is Rae, Ulgorns missing daughter. She is located on the left of the cave opening.

She will ask for your help in closing the abyss gate, there are 3 generators to disable in this cave. The first Green generator is to your left, the Blue is to the right. The last Violet generator is in the back on top of the hill near the rear of the cave. These are all located around Point 12 on the map.

The Violet generator is guarded by two fighters and Cruel Hatata. The mobs dont all agro when one is pulled, so take them down carefully.

Once you have killed all 3 and destroyed the gate, return to the mouth of the cave and turn the quest into Rae, the mission will progress one more step and you will need to return to Aldelle Village one last time to speak with Ulgorn to let him know his bratty daughter is O.K

Upon leaving the Dubaro Vine Canyon, dont forget to speak with the NPC hiding in the brush and turn in the quest for killing Cruel Hatata.

Once you have turned in the quest to Ulgorn you will gain the title Bandit Hero that gives +20 HP and +2 Physical Defenses.

Congratulations!!!

You should now be level 10 and fully ascended. Feel free to explore the land and show off your wings to the entire world!!

I really can't imagine anyone having the need for a guide for the first 10 levels hah... what happened to discovering / exploring the newbie area on your own?

I to am grateful for your hard work in making this guide, and the time you spent.

This guide will be a great help for us to get over this learning curve.

A big part of what hung me back in the Elyos was just learning the area's and figuring out where I had to go, who to talk to, and where I didn't need to go to.

If only it touched in on all the quest with a larger guide. hopefully some people can spend a few minutes this weekend to work on this guide a little more....

This will become a very nice post to have on the new AionArmory page.
