Aionsource took the liberty of translating the contents of Aion Korea’s latest 1.5.1 patch. Lots of massive and noteworthy changes were found in this patch, to the surprise of Aion players and fans. There’s no word on a similar patch release for the western servers, but it’s sure to come. For now, here’s what to expect:

• Massive hikes in quest EXP, as much as 50 times the usual, for selected quests. More quests are receiving this overhaul in the test servers too.
• Chance to incur the debuff “Aether Venom” during Aether Extraction, preventing any further material extraction for a set time. “Word of Purification” is needed to neutralize the venom, which can be acquired after correctly completing a random Captcha phrase appearing onscreen. Three failed Captcha attempts means inability to extract Aether or regular items for a set period of time. The command “/Extractstatus” tells players if extraction is possible or not.
• Instance zone information window has been added to the UI.
• Onscreen number pad added to the side of the Qina/Item Quantity Window. Font color-codes have also been added depending on amount indicated.
• Ease of use features in the auction window, such as 'Include in search' and 'Exact match' options in the Items tab.
• Color dye and Hairspray previews now possible
• Spiritmasters can now have flying pets.

Full patch notes can be found at the Aionsource forums.
