Diff - abyss ranks - AION 2 Wiki

11 Abyss ranks measure a character's standing in the faction war. They are decided by Abyss ranking points, a separate track from the spendable Abyss Points, and they set the size of some PvP rewards, a damage buff, and who gets into a full Abyss. Everything on this page describes the Korean and Taiwanese service unless it says otherwise.

33 The Ranks

89 How Ranks Are Decided

910

1011 Ranks follow Abyss ranking points. On December 24, 2025 the calculation changed from a running total that went up and down to an accumulating one.Since February 11, 2026 dying in PvP lowers ranking points instead of costing Abyss Points. The loss was reduced sharply on February 25, 2026, with repeated deaths on the same day losing less each time.Once a character reaches the Abyss Point cap, PvE stops giving ranking points; only PvP does, apart from the Abyss Corridor (February 11, 2026).From Season 3 (April 8, 2026) the rank and grade used for the Abyss, and for the Arena, Transcendence and Nightmare rankings, are based on class ranking. NCsoft's English announcement for that update describes the same move to class-based rankings for the Abyss.

1213 The official guidebook summarises the system as a ranking: Abyss ranking points are earned by killing players of the other faction and Abyss monsters and lost on death, and a character's rank and rewards follow how its accumulated points compare with other players'. The ranking screen also shows the top three Abyss players on the server, a character's own ranking and its expected reward.

Under the season system described in the official guidebook, each season has a fixed run and is followed by the next; rankings and progress can reset when a season ends; final rankings use the best single record within the season; and season rewards follow class rankings (since January 21, 2026).
