Aion Riftshade

Hi

Solo instances and stigmas - do they drop from bosses only, or is it super worth to clear all normal mobs too? Asking more about Haramel and Nightmare than SR rly...

I got stigma in haramel from normal mob back on day #1 so unless they changed it, still somewhat worth farming them

is there a place where i can see what stigmas can drop in what instances? i heard that some of stigmas drop only from specific bosses

Generally, for most stigmas, it's bosses +/- 1 level near the stigma level and you'd find them in open areas like Theobomos/Brusthonin.

You can pinpoint the NPCs from which they drop using AionCodex (for the majority of stigmas, but not every single one).

For instance:

(scroll down on the page, look under "Dropped by NPC")

Earth's Wrath I > Nochsana Boss along with some mobs in other areas

Earth's Wrath II > certain mobs in Fire Temple plus Eltnen/Heiron/Beluslan/Morheim

Sage's Wisdom I > not specified, but I snagged mine in Fire Temple

Noble Grace I > you'll find it in Steel Rake
