Entering Dark Poeta
Dark Poeta is the premier Instanced Dungeon for level 50 Daevas, and prior to the launch of Assault on Balaurea, was the highest level dungeon in Aion.
In Dark Poeta, players will have the opportunity to acquire Fabled equipment, as well as complete Quests to unlock their 3rd Greater Stigma slot.

Entering Dark Poeta [Elyos]
Warning
Entering Dark Poeta from the Abyss has the benefit of costing fewer materials, however, there is also the risk of encountering Daevas of the opposing race.
|
The Time Activation Stone is a single use item. In order to reenter Dark Poeta, players will have to complete a Repeatable Quest obtainable from the same NPCs as the initial Quest. To complete the Repeatable or initial Quest, take the following steps:
 |
 |
|
Snag some Blue Balaur Scales from Balaur level 45 and up! |
Purchase a Rift Essence from a General Goods Merchant! |
 |
|
The Broker is another great place to find Blue Balaur Scales… |
Once players have obtained the required materials, choose the location to enter Dark Poeta. Remember, entering from the Abyss has the benefit of costing fewer materials, but the danger is much more palpable.
