AION 2 Spacetime Rift quests: all 5 quests, rewards and where to start

In short

What it is«Spacetime Rift» is a chain of 5 regional quests from level 45. You complete them on the other side of a Rift, on the enemy faction's map.

Who gives themElyos — Mino of the Wind Breeze Merchants in Verteron. Asmodians — Uru of the Quai Merchants in Altgard.

Main rewardEvery quest gives a Wisdom Stone (+1 skill point) and a Daevanion Crystal (+1 Daevanion point). The whole chain — 5 and 5.

Also10,000 Abyss Points, 5 titles, rings and earrings, and a Legendary accessory in the last quest.

How to finish in timeTake all 5 quests before you enter the Rift and do them in one visit: you have 1 hour inside.

What the Spacetime Rift quests are

These are regional quests that open at level 45 together with Rifts. A Shugo merchant fell into a spacetime rift, saw the enemy lands and now wants to make money on them. He asks you to go through the portal and bring back samples: claws, carapaces, feathers and weapons of the local creatures.

All quest targets are on the enemy map. Elyos do them in Altgard, Asmodians in Verteron. You cannot finish the chain without a Rift: wait until one opens and enter the portal first.

How many questsAccording to the client data each faction has 5 quests. The first one sends you into the Rift («Activate the Continuum Portal»), the other four are item collection on the other side.

Where to get the quests

The same merchant gives all of them, but he stands in different places: new quests appear at his next spot as you progress. Open the NPC page to see the spot on the map.

Faction	Quest giver	Where
Elyos	Mino, Wind Breeze Merchants	Verteron: quests 1–2 — first spot, 3–4 — second, 5 — third
Asmodians	Uru, Quai Merchants	Altgard: quests 1–2 — first spot, 3–4 — second, 5 — third

Level 45The quests unlock at level 45 — the same level as Rift access.
Take them in advancePick up every available quest of the chain before the Rift opens. Nobody gives them on the other side.
Wait for the RiftA Rift opens about every 3 hours. When the Rift message appears, find the purple icon on the map.

How to finish the chain in one visit

Step by step

1. At homeTake every quest the merchant already offers. Put Resurrection Spiritstones in your bag and make sure PvE mode is on.
2. RiftWhen a Rift appears, fly to the nearest portal: it lives 10 minutes.
3. First questEntering the portal completes «Activate the Continuum Portal».
4. CollectGo through the targets of all your quests. The monsters are ordinary, levels 20–45 — only the enemy guards are dangerous.
5. On the wayWhile you are there, visit Sealed Dungeons: each gives 2,500 Enhance Stones.
6. HomeCome back when the Rift timer ends and turn the quests in.

Enemy guardsIn PvE mode players do not attack you, but enemy guards kill in one hit. Fly, avoid outposts and never attack enemy NPCs — that forces PvP. Details in the AION 2 Rifts guide.

Common mistakes

Taking a quest on the other sideThe merchant stands on your own map. Forgot a quest — wait for the next Rift, about 3 hours.
Respawning at a resurrection pointIt sends you home until the next Rift. Respawn in place with a Resurrection Spiritstone.
Taking quests one by oneThe merchant has several spots. After turning in 2 quests, fly to the next spot and take the next ones before the next Rift.
Skipping it because of «useless» XPXP at 45 hardly matters, but 5 skill points and 5 Daevanion points are nowhere else this cheap.

Bottom line

The Spacetime Rift chain is 5 short quests that pay off in progression: +5 skill points, +5 Daevanion points, 10,000 Abyss Points and a Legendary accessory at the end. Take all quests in advance, enter the Rift with Resurrection Spiritstones and finish the chain in one or two visits.
