Sapphires in Aion 2 are valuable crafting materials used in recipes for professions like Handicrafting and Alchemy. However, finding these gemstones requires knowing where Sapphire nodes spawn and how to gather them efficiently.
This guide covers how to get Sapphire in Aion 2, including the best farming locations for Elyos and Asmodians and how to collect Sapphire Gemstones using Essence Extraction.
Where to Find Sapphires in Aion 2
Depending on which faction you are currently playing (Elyos or Asmodians), you will have to visit certain locations to be able to find and gather Sapphire Gems using Essence Extraction. Each node of Sapphire you find has three charges, so that’s three attempts to extract materials from it. Now, let’s divide the locations to find Sapphire per faction:
- For Elyos: Start at the Scarlet Forest Observation Site in Verteron. Sapphire nodes are concentrated nearby, making this a convenient farming location. Pilgrim’s Ridge, Scarlet Forest, and Ellun River Midstream are particularly bountiful locations where you can extract lots of Sapphire as well. Since nodes have a fast respawn rate (around 4 minutes), players can create their own micro-farming routes and get lots of gems per run.
Keep in mind that extracting Sapphire successfully requires at least Novice Level 40. Lower than that will result in low collection rates due to the failure of the extraction minigame.
- For Asmodians: They should begin their farming at Nephra Snowfield in Morheim or Sanctum Outpost in Altgard, where multiple Sapphire gathering nodes can be found close to each other. The higher the zone, the higher the base chances for better-grade Sapphire Gemstones to be extracted.
Keep in mind that if you want to collect higher-grade Gemstones (Epic, Legendary) you will need the Appraisal Boost effect of the specialization Skill. Go to the Essence Extraction skill tree (Alt + F) and look for the Gems section. Invest Specialization Skillpoints in that branch and make sure to save the most for the Appraisal skill (the third from the left).
This will ensure you can collect higher-quality gemstones at a higher rate than you normally do. The activation for the Appraisal Boost is totally random (depends on RNG), but the probabilities increase the higher your skill level is, so consider investing all your Specialization Points in this node. Don’t worry, as you can reset and respec anytime you like by paying a certain amount of Kina.
