11Expedition is the five-player instanced tier, the middle rung of AION 2's dungeon ladder between solo content and the ten-player Sanctuary raids. It is where most group play happens: the roster is the widest of any tier, the gear it pays out feeds the rest of progression, and it is the tier the global marketing puts in front of new players.22How Expeditions Work55ElementDetailParty sizeFive players. Expedition ran with parties of four until the Chapter 1 update on July 1, 2026 raised it.ModesExploration, and Conquest split into Normal and HardEntry costOdyle Energy rather than a ticket. Entry tickets and charge tickets were removed in the Chapter 1 update, and existing ones were deleted from inventories and storage.GatingCharacter level plus a minimum item level , set per dungeon and per modeWeekly limitsReward counts are shared across characters on the same server and reset weekly. Leaving after a clear without taking the reward now counts against that allowance.PetsPets can be ridden inside dungeons, except during boss fights and in spaces built around special play77On the Korean and Taiwanese build the Citadel of the Fallen Daeva shows the shape of the cost curve: Exploration and Conquest Normal each ask 40 Odyle Energy at item level 3,800, while Conquest Hard asks 60 at item level 4,500 and pays out more in return.88The Expedition Roster1010NCsoft's own global material puts four Expeditions in front of players as the tier's showcase, each described as a dungeon for up to five players.1212ExpeditionSettingBossKrao CaveA cave once used as a laboratory by the Lepharists.

This page keeps the Korean form where NCsoft has not published an English one, rather than picking a translation and presenting it as the name.1818Trials2020Trials are a custom-difficulty layer bolted onto selected Expeditions rather than a separate dungeon.

The September 9, 2026 patch on the Korean and Taiwanese build redistributed those materials: the older Expeditions now drop bound materials only, while the newer four drop the full set in both bound and tradeable form.2929Kina earned in several Expeditions was also converted to bound Kina, which is NCsoft tightening the flow of tradeable currency out of instanced content rather than a change to the dungeons themselves.3131Related Pages3333Dungeons for the full content ladder.
