Aion 2 FAQ — the questions people actually ask

Short answers. Every one of them links to the page that explains the reasoning in full — because a guide that only gives you the answer teaches you nothing about the next decision.

If your question is not here, ask it in the Discord. Questions asked there are what the next pages get written from.

The route in one paragraph

Reach level 45 without burning resources. Then build what stays: monolith, daevanion boards, belt and revelation amulet to unique. From 1500 gear score the abyss pays for accessories, from 1800 Vakron doubles your pace, and from 2400 the endgame dungeons close the last gaps. The roadmap has all of it with the stop rules; the checklist tells you what comes next.

When does Aion 2 release?

Early access starts on 30 September 2026 for Founder's Pack owners. The free-to-play launch for everyone is on 5 October 2026. Pre-download is already running — the files arrive encrypted and can only be decrypted on 30 September.

Is Aion 2 free to play?

Yes. There is an optional subscription and a shop, but the progression route described here works without spending money. The subscription's main effect is that it lets you exchange the premium currency Quna for Kinah on the market.

Which class should I pick in Aion 2?

Play what you enjoy — every class works for PvE. If earning money matters to you, the ranger has a reputation for farming most efficiently, but that is not a reason to play a class that does not suit you. You will spend hundreds of hours with it.

What is the fastest way to level in Aion 2?

Work through the main story, but do not rush it. Take sealed dungeons and regional quests along the way, because from level 45 enemies in the open world scale with you and the same side content turns into real work. Gear along the way barely matters; you replace it constantly.

What should I not spend resources on while levelling?

Odyle energy on ordinary dungeon chests, and deep enhancement on gear you will replace. Spread enhancement across four pieces at +1 rather than pushing one to +5. The energy you save is worth several times as much later at Vakron.

What is gear score in Aion 2 and how much do I need?

Gear score is the aggregate measure of your equipment and gates most content. The rough thresholds are 1500 for the abyss, 1800 for Vakron and 2400 for the endgame dungeons. Note that the client also shows an item level and a combat power value; which of those our thresholds map to is one of the things we verify at the EU launch.

What are the most expensive mistakes in Aion 2?

Three come up again and again: pushing belt and revelation amulet past unique, where a single level costs tens of thousands of enhancement stones; upgrading class runes past +1, where they can break; and spending odyle energy on ordinary dungeon chests instead of saving it for Vakron.

What do I do at level 50 in Aion 2?

Progress stops being about levels and starts being about gear score. The route runs abyss for accessories, then transcendence and arcana cards, then Vakron from 1800 to 2200, and finally fire temple and ferocious horn den from 2400.

Does the server I pick matter in Aion 2?

For dungeons, barely — party matching runs across all servers in a region. For the abyss and for trading it matters a lot, because the cross-server market does not open at launch. Starting together with other people beats starting alone.

Where do the numbers on this site come from?

From the Taiwanese version, which has been live for months, played by the author rather than read about. Every page says so, and every page carries the date it was last changed. Where something differs for the EU launch, it sits beside the text as its own box. From early access onwards the figures get checked against the EU client, and the verification date then appears at the top of each page.
