Pieces written for the global launch: what a year of Korean patches means for the build we get, which class to pick, how progression actually works, and what the faction choice does and does not change. Where a claim rests on one outlet, the text says so.

AION 2's first Halloween: how Trick or Treat works, what the Pumpkin Coins buy, and what the skins cost

Three weeks of attendance coins, ten weekly event missions, Candy Keys from dungeons and a Coin Merchant in the first town. The numbers from NC's patch notes, and the order to spend in.

AION 2 gear explained: what every layer of a piece does, and which stat lines to keep

A piece of AION 2 gear stacks five or six separate stat systems. What each one is, which survive a transfer, and the rare lines worth chasing on every slot.

Upgrading gear in AION 2 without wasting materials: enhancement, stones, binding and transfer

Enhance Stones, Manastones, Theostones, Soul Binding and Transfer Stones each have a trap. The order to spend in, and the materials to hoard from day one.

Arcana, Daevanion boards, wings and pets in AION 2: the side systems that add up

How damage works in AION 2: the formula, and what each stat is really worth

AION 2 in 2026: what changed between the Korean launch and the global one

Ten months of Korean patches, a global build that deliberately lags behind, and the handful of things NC has actually confirmed for October 5.

Classes

Which AION 2 class should you pick at global launch?

Eight classes, two factions that can play all of them, and a balance patch cadence that makes any tier list a snapshot. What the official material says, what players agree on, and where they don't.

Elyos or Asmodian: what the choice changes in AION 2

It is permanent, it decides whose server you live on and who you fight in the Abyss, and it does not touch your class. Everything else is lore, looks and one disputed claim.

Before you finish the story

  • Faction is permanent and decides your server: coordinate with friends before creating a character.
  • Mein-MMO's target: reach item level 1,000 before the story ends so the first endgame dungeons are open when you arrive.
  • Join a guild early for passive buffs and weekly currency.
  • Most endgame activities reset weekly, with flexible timing rather than a daily grind.
  • PvP is optional everywhere except the Abyss.

How to read anything about AION 2 this autumn

Korea has been live since 19 November 2025 and is roughly a year ahead. Any tier list, dungeon guide or patch note you find is a photograph of the Korean game on one particular day; the global client launches on a modified Season 1 and is tuned differently. We mark Korean-only facts as Korea throughout the hub.
