Aion Gold

You also have the option of doing some of the quests in Pandaemonium, if you haven't already. The quests are decent money, but not so decent xp. Worth doing to see the city and get some of the story, though. There is also a choice quest from the daeva of music, where if you choose money you get money as a reward, and if you choose power, you unlock another quest line (not sure if it does anything else). This questline will eventually lead you into the arena in Pandaemonium, which is a place where other players of the same faction can kill you. Its a good idea to run up into the balcony before going in to see if anyone is camping the arena. It's a very quick quest but it can get you killed if you run into a douchebag.

There are a lot of quests here, and most of them are to kill monsters in the immediate area outside of the fortress. There will also be a quest to fly up into the sky and talk to a daeva up on a rock. This quest is part of a short chain at the beginning of the zone, and the guy on the rock can be a bit tough to find. He's standing on one of the "arms" of the big floating rock. This quest is meant to teach you how to use your wings. This is also the first area where you can gather aether powder from the "small vortexes" floating around the fortress. It is a good idea to collect these if you are interested in crafting, as this skill can be a pain to level, and the powder you get is used in various useful recipies. One quest line will take you underground into the Altgard dungeons. The entrance for these dungeons is in the northern part of the fortress, in a tunnel against the fortress wall.
