Empyrean Traces are the lifeblood for unlocking higher Skill Caps (up to Lv.16) and farming Amulet Enhancement Scrolls in Aion 2. As a veteran player, you’ll know that speed and efficiency are key when hunting these floating “feathers” across Elyos, Asmodian, and Abyss zones. Here’s the ultimate guide to the most productive areas.
1. Elyos Regions (Verteron)
Verteron boasts the densest clusters of
Empyrean Traces in Elyos territory. To maximize your collection rate:
Verteron Fortress Ruins & Shattered Barrier Tower
Targets: Crumbling walls, tower rims, and floating debris.
Tip: Utilize wind currents and gliding paths to reach otherwise inaccessible ledges.
Cantas Valley & Altamia Highland
Targets: Steep canyon ledges, outpost rooftops (e.g., Steep Guard Post), and thick tree canopies.
Strategy: Sweep zone by zone; mark claimed feathers to avoid double-hunting.
2. Asmodian Regions (Altgard)
Altgard provides high-yield zones ideal for Asmodian players:
Nahid Brigade Fortress & Scarlet Forest
Targets: Outer walls, hidden rock crevices, and giant crimson tree branches.
Tip: Some traces require precise glide landings—preload your momentum and adjust for vertical drops.
Forest of Exiles & Tolbas Forest
Targets: Near elite monster camps, inside caves, and atop stone altars.
Strategy: Clear mobs first, then sweep for traces to avoid combat interruptions.
3. Neutral Region (Abyss: Reshanta A)
Floating Islands
Targets: Mid-air platforms, shattered structures, and isolated stone remnants.
Pro-Tip: Limited flight time plus open PvP makes solo sweeps risky. Group up with your legion or use flight-time recovery potions to systematically clear the islands.
Tools for 100% Completion
Tracking 560 Elyos/Asmodian and 200 Abyss traces manually is exhausting. Use interactive community maps:
IMapp Aion 2 Interactive Map
Filter by “Empyrean Trace” to view all known locations. Free accounts allow you to mark nodes as “Found,” hiding them for easier planning.
Aion 2 Atlas
Excellent for tricky nodes. Many markers include screenshots and textual hints for landing precise glide spots.
