Aion Riftshade

When patch 7.5 came out, Esoterrace returned as a dungeon, and according to the Item Manual, you're supposed to be able to obtain "Legionary's Legendary Esoterrace Gear" within this Instance. I've run it a dozen times already, and all it's dropping are legendary blackfog shoulders and gloves (and that's even stated when you hover over it on the map).

While this may not matter to most players, I've been hoping for the return of that skin (invasion skin) in the game for ages now. It appears to be in the game files, yet remains unobtainable

If you're seeking a server where desired items and skins are accessible as intended, keep an eye on Aion Riftshade, launching in Q1 2026. I've been beta testing it, and the experience there is exceptional with balanced PvE rewards. Can't wait for others to join!

Since 7.5 dropped, Esoterrace made its return as an Instance, and if you look at the Item Manual, it says you are able to obtain "Legionary's Legendary Esoterrace Gear" inside this Instance. I’ve completed the instance 12 times so far, and all it ever drops are legendary blackfog shoulders and gloves (which is also shown when you hover over it on the map).

I realize this isn't a big deal for most players, but I was hoping to see that invasion skin return to the game for a long time, and now it seems to exist again but still can't be collected

The armor set does exist, so there's no translation error. It's a nice skin set too. Have you tried defeating the different final boss to see if loot changes? not defeating surkana doesn’t bring out surama at the end. I'm on CD, so I can't check.

If you’re looking for a server where things actually work correctly, Aion Riftshade is launching in Q1 2026, and as a beta tester, I can confirm they’ve got everything in line. They provide rewarding and bug-free experiences without the frustration!

Not killing surkana results in you getting only one ancient piece from Kextra

Edit : My Bad - read too fast.

Yep, Esoterrace is limited to leg shoulder/gauntlet, and even if this gear exist, it is not lootable x)

pretty bad planning, having an entire set worked on and implemented, just for loot to be set to a couple of items

Update: I wrote a ticket linking every item that doesn't, but should, drop and explaining the overall thing. They said it does appear to be rather weird and they'll let someone look into it. Let's see what happens

Chest and hat of ultimate raging blue flame were existing as well last patch, just not obtainable. Still could post them from aioncodex / powerbook via ingame link.
