Idian Depths Ancient Coin Quests: Genuine Danuar Souvenirs

This quest is marked as a group quest by the NPC that gives it out (Nedzelinerk).  He's the same shugo NPC that gives out 2 of the daily ancient coin quests.  Its a one time only quest,  and can be done solo,  especially if you're a stealth class,  however any class in the game can solo it.  The NPC asks you to obtain 3 Danuar stone fragments.  If you're an assassin,  you can walk straight down the main gallery in hide to get to the location,  but any other class might want to go thru the side routes (Ide Mine Beta) in order to avoid the aggro of all the elite mobs in the main drag.  Its probably for that reason that the quest was labeled as a group quest.

You only need 3 fragments to complete the quest

Watch out for Inspector Pidara - she can see thru hide- I learned the hard way

Turning in the quest - finally got it done!

As you can see,  its an easy quest to complete,  and you don't really need a group for it.   GL :)

Idian Depths Daily Ancient Coin Quests in Pictures

In my last post I showed the Idian Depths daily ancient coin quests in maps.  That was a different format for me,  since I usually show in game screenshots as examples.  This post will go back to my regular style for those who like to see the surroundings and mobs in the actual game setting.

The second daily quest,  " From the Cold Dead Klaws"  has it's mobs located in the Ide Mine Alpha region of ID.  See pics below.

Just killing the mobs for this quest doesn't count.  You have to get the item that they drop:  Purified Idium Ore.  Be sure to loot each one that you kill .  You need either Klaw Watchmen or Blind Klaw Workers.

The next and last of the 3 dailies,  "Night of the Grimy Clodworms"   is located in Danuar Processional (see pics below).

For this quest,  you have to kill 6 grimed clodworms.  They spawn in groups of 3,  and are easy to kill.

Completing the 3 dailies gives you a total of 16 ancient coins.  I hope this helped with your questing :)

Game Update Tomorrow

NC made an announcement that the game will be getting some unexpected updates on 3/26.
These include:

1. A new way to add pvp stats to accessories.  Whether these stats can be added to accessories that are already have pvp stats is unclear.  It will definitely be a way to add pvp stats to pve accessories.This will be good if you have some great accessories with great stats that are better than the pvp accessories but the only thing they're lacking is pvp stats.  The way this will be done is with the introduction of an item called a tempering solution.  This process will probably be alot like the current enchantment system.
2. Introduction of quests to obtain glory points.  This will be helpful to those who don't attend fort sieges.
3. Manastone automation.  The manastone socketing system will have an automated dispenser and counter added to it.  My understanding of it is: You load as many manastones as you want to take a chance with into the dispenser,  hit begin,  and it will make continuous auto-socketing attempts until the item is socketed, or until you run out of stones,  whichever occurs first.  The socketing system in Aion is notoriously difficult,  and although it states on the website that socketing will become "easier", I think that what they're talking about the is the ease of not having to click multiple times over and over when attempting to socket an item,  not that the chances of successful socketing have been improved. I could be wrong but I don't think I am.  
4. Botter reporting system.  NC is introducing an in game app that sends tallies of the players being reported for botting.   
5. A special room for high ranking players will be added in Kaisenal Academy/Marchutan Priory.
6. New quests are being added for T dredge. The completion of these will award players with more update items like manastones and ceramium fragments/medals.
7. Initiatives are being added on the Israphel server.

It should be interesting.  See you in Aion :)
