Daeva System and Daevanion Board

Initial version (2026-05-01)
In AION 2, all player characters become Daeva: ascended beings whose flight, skills, and progression are tied to a special talent layer called the Daevanion Board. The board is opened with the U key by default and is the primary place to spend talent points earned by leveling and completing regional content.
The Daevanion Board is a node-based talent tree. Each class has its own board layout, but the conventions are shared:
Node Type | What It Does |
|---|---|
White Nodes | Boost base stats such as HP, defense, attack, or accuracy |
Green Nodes | Enhance passive effects, often increasing the strength of a class mechanic or buff |
Blue Nodes | Upgrade specific active skills past their base cap and unlock additional enhancement slots |
Most active skills cap at level 10 from the standard skill UI. The Daevanion Board is how a skill is pushed past 10, and the board's blue nodes also unlock extra slots that hold rune-style modifiers.
Daevanion points come from two main sources: leveling milestones (one or more points per level past a threshold) and regional content completion (clearing the major quest chains and key challenges in each open-world region). The point cost of upgrading a skill past base scales sharply, which prevents players from maxing every skill and forces meaningful build choices.
Decide on a primary role first. Tanking, healing, and DPS pull from different parts of the board, and trying to spread points across roles is rarely competitive.
Identify two or three core skills you intend to use every fight. Push those through the board first, then invest in passive white and green nodes that scale them.
Keep some points in reserve. The board allows respeccing for a cost, but doing so often is expensive; reserving points is cheaper than refunding them.
Every class has a small set of signature skills that benefit disproportionately from board investment. Talking to other players in your class community is a faster way to identify those signature skills than reading patch notes; the live build's balance state changes with every major patch on the KR and TW servers.
