Patch 1.9 Finally faster lvling

Hi guys,
I stopped playing Aion since i realised that i need a year to become lvl 50. Know that NCsoft has released the patch 1.9 they promised that you lvl faster. I just want to know if that is true and if you are able to lvl without grinding?

A year to 50 lol wtf ? I lvld in 2-3 months to 50lvl... before 1.9...

2-3 motnhs is a lot...and i am really tired ..im no lvl 48 i im tired to be lvl 50 -_-

omg I just asked if you lvl faster know?

well you can now lvl faster, these are a few of the reasons:

more xp rewarded on some quests, esp at lower lvls
2h weps can be combined so you have more attack/other stats - kill faster :)
Stigmas are all available by npc so you can get them sooner without having to spend millions on em or farming forever
