AION 2 Monoliths and Empyrean Traces: every level, stat and reward
Updated 2026-10-12 · checked against Global launch (client 2.0.5.0)
Every zone is scattered with Empyrean Traces — the glowing white feathers you pick up with F. Each region’s Monolith turns them into levels, and every level pays out permanent stats plus materials. It is the most power you can earn just by flying around, and most players are far behind on it.
The short version:
- Collect Traces in a zone, level that zone’s Monolith. Verteron and Altgard have 30 levels, Eltnen and Morheim 8 at launch, and the Ereshkigal Monolith in Reshanta 20.
- The stats are permanent and independent of your gear: up to +58 Empyrean Lord stats from Verteron or Altgard, +7,000 Stamina from Eltnen or Morheim, and PvP Defense, Accuracy, Evasion, Block and Attack from Reshanta.
- Every level gives a Revelation Amulet Enhance Scroll — the Monoliths are how the Revelation Amulet is enhanced, and at +10 it morphs into the next grade (Rare, Epic, then Unique; what it costs) — plus Hidden Cube keys, Soul Codex: Reset and Amplify Stone Fragments.
- Titles at levels 10, 20 and 30 in Verteron and Altgard.
- The Monoliths open with the level 16 quest Empyrean Monolith (Elyos, Asmodian).

The top levels need essentially every Trace in the zone, so a finished Monolith is a finished zone. The zone maps show every Trace, and ticking them off there keeps count for you.

Common mistakes
- Leaving Traces for later. They are spread along the roads you level on; picking them up as you go costs seconds, coming back for them costs hours.
- Skipping Eltnen and Morheim. Eight levels and 45 Traces for +7,000 Stamina and five points in six Lords is the best rate of any Monolith.
- Ignoring Reshanta’s. It is the only Monolith that gives PvP stats.
Our read
Pick up every Trace you pass. The Monoliths are the rare system in AION 2 that gives permanent stats for exploration alone, and the Amulet of Revelation scrolls make them part of gear progression too.
