UPDATE 7.8 PREVIEW

Can’t wait to get your fingers on the latest update for your favourite game? Then we’ve got just the thing for you: AION 7.8 is on its way! Learn about everything coming in the next patch in this post.
[h3]Minion Awakening[/h3]
Beat your enemies to pulp – now with better minion stats:
If you have a class S level 4 minion, you can upgrade it to an awakened version and unlock a second slot for a further minion. The awakened class S minion will then benefit from the stats of this second minion.
And best of all, awakening your minion cannot fail – it’s 100% guaranteed!
[h3]Jorgoth’s Weapons[/h3]
Jorgoth’s weapons have a reputation as the strongest in all Atreia. Now it’s time for you to try them out yourself and unleash them on your enemies! If Jorgoth’s half-finished gear winds up in your hands, equip it and reach the next level! Once acquired, the new weapons get two further levels for you to upgrade them to.
Incidentally: swords, greatswords, daggers, polearms, maces and staffs have an increased range after the update.
Materials for crafting weapons can be earned by dismantling Jorgoth’s weapons and Jorgoth’s half-finished weapons. These weapons can be looted from bosses and instances.
[h3]Adjusted Skill Effects[/h3]
It’s our priority to ensure that playing AION is as fun as it can be, which is why we’ve also tweaked and improved the skill effects for each class.
That’s just a teaser of what’s to come in AION 7.8 – but we’ve plenty more up our sleeves. Stay tuned for the release announcement!
