Added the October 7 account-wide Founder cosmetic claim implementation.
11AION 2 is free-to-play. The game is free to download and play to endgame, with optional paid layers built around memberships, a premium currency, battle passes and cosmetic purchases. This page covers both services: the Korean and Taiwanese live build, which has sold these products since November 2025, and the global service, whose business model NCsoft published on July 8, 2026 and whose full launch price list followed on September 30, 2026, the day Advance Access opened. The pass and shop details now have their own pages: Daeva Pass, In-Game Shop and Founder's Packs.22Free-to-Play Baseline44Every class, faction, region, and the core progression systems are available without paying. The live build's paid layers are mostly cosmetic and convenience items, but they are not purely cosmetic: paid Daeva Pass tracks carry Odyle Energy and Battle Enhancement Scrolls, and the membership raises Odyle Energy throughput (see below). NCsoft has framed the global model as a lighter-touch version of its other recent free-to-play release. Korean-build prices below are Korean-build reference points and are separate from the global pricing published on July 8, 2026.66Memberships Before June 2026 (KR and TW)88From the Korean and Taiwanese launch until the June 17, 2026 update, the live build sold two separate 28-day memberships covering different benefit categories, plus a bundle of both. The June 17, 2026 update folded them into a single membership (see the Kwairing Express Membership section below). The lineup below describes how the system worked before that change, with prices from the Korean store:1010MembershipKorean PriceBenefitsSand Breeze Membership19,700 won for 28 daysRemote storage, buying on the Market (listing was open to everyone), personal trading, the Kina and Quna Exchange, and the members' merchant shop (named Wind Breeze Merchants in the global client); the World Market was added laterChengarung Membership29,700 won for 28 daysMore Odyle Energy Cube selections in Expedition and Transcendence (Sanctuary was added later), 50% more Odyle Energy recharge and base capacity, more Shugo Festival reward selections, and double Abyss play timeShugo Express Membership45,000 won for 28 daysBoth memberships above as a bundle1212Each could be bought only when fewer than 60 days remained on its benefits, up to three times per server per month, the same limits the global Special Quai Membership uses. The split is useful for comparing the two services: the Sand Breeze side is essentially the trading and storage package the global membership sells, while most of the Chengarung side's reward perks do not appear in the global benefit list (see Global Versus Korean Service below).1313Premium Currency: Quna1616Quna is the premium currency. It is bought with real money and spent on cosmetics, battle passes, and shop items. On the live build, Quna can also be exchanged for the in-game gold currency, Kina, through an in-game exchange. That Quna-to-Kina conversion is the part of the model that has driven the most player discussion, because it links real-money spending to the in-game economy. The global build keeps the exchange. NCsoft published the global business model on July 8, 2026: the Kina and Quna exchange runs player to player, with one player listing Kina for sale and another spending Quna to buy it, and the game itself neither lists nor buys. An active Membership is required to trade on the Market.1818Currencies at a Glance2020CurrencyTypeUseQunaPremium (real money)Cosmetics, battle passes, shop items; exchangeable for Kina on the live buildKinaIn-game goldCrafting, repairs, trading, and most in-game transactions2222Daeva Passes on the Live Build2323Daeva Passes on the Korean and Taiwanese build are sold per character and run in seasons; the season that opened on August 26, 2026 ran until September 22. Each season has a Basic track bought with Kina and a Premium track bought with Quna. The rewards are not cosmetic-only: that season's track paid out bound Odyle Energy, Battle Enhancement Scrolls, daily-dungeon Instant Completion Tickets, Abyss Rift Stones and Pass Shop coins, and pass levels can be bought with Quna. Prices for that season are in the August 2026 Shop Changes section below.2525Cash Shop2727The cash shop sells cosmetic outfits, appearance items, and convenience goods for Quna. Its consumables merchant sold items such as Resurrection Spiritstones (100 Quna each) and inventory Cube expansions (200 Quna each) at launch. Purchases on the Korean service also earn Mileage, and at launch the Mileage shop listed growth items including Battle Enhancement Scrolls and Soul Codex items. The global launch catalog published on September 30, 2026 has a similar consumables merchant and its own Mileage Shop; see Global Launch Prices below and In-Game Shop.2929Launch-Day Supply Boxes (November 19, 2025)3131On launch day the Korean service sold four monthly Quna supply boxes, and some of them bundled growth items: Zikel's Quna Supply Box (21,500 won) held 100 Battle Enhancement Scrolls, and Triniel's Quna Supply Box held 50 Soul Codex items. After an emergency broadcast that afternoon, NCsoft pulled all four boxes at a temporary maintenance at 4:30 PM KST on November 19, 2025, acknowledged the monthly Quna products as a misjudgment, and granted every player the 100 Battle Enhancement Scrolls and 50 Soul Codex items as an apology. Earlier English coverage called these two items Combat Enhancement Scrolls and Books of Souls; Battle Enhancement Scroll and Soul Codex are the names in NCsoft's global announcements. The same broadcast announced lower Kina costs for skill and Daevanion resets and halved general-store prices.3333Global Business Model (Published July 8, 2026)3535On July 8, 2026 NCsoft published the business model for the global release. The headline is that AION 2 stays free to play with no purchase required, and the paid layers sit around a monthly Membership, a premium currency, per-character passes, and pre-launch Founder's Packs. NCsoft noted that some areas may still change as launch preparation continues.3737NCsoft's launch FAQ of September 30, 2026 restates the model in one line: AION 2 is free to play with an optional monthly membership, and the paid options are cosmetic items, a battle pass and a membership that opens the player-driven economy and the currency exchange.3939Currencies4141The global build runs two currencies, and they are easy to confuse because the names are close.4343CurrencyHow You Get ItWhat It BuysKinaEarned through gameplay, or bought from other players with Quna through the ExchangeTrading on the Market; the currency the player-driven economy runs onQunaBought with real money, or acquired from other players through the ExchangeIn-game shop items, the premium Battle Pass track, and anything else priced in Quna4545The Market and the Exchange4646The Market is the centre of the player-driven economy. Players list and buy items in Kina, and prices are set by players rather than by fixed vendor rates. The Kina and Quna Exchange sits alongside it: one player lists Kina for sale, another spends Quna to buy it, and every trade happens between players. The game itself never lists or purchases on the Exchange. Quna picked up through the Exchange spends exactly like purchased Quna on any item or pass sold for it.4848An active Membership is required to trade on the Market.5050Membership5252Membership is sold as the Special Quai Membership, a 30-day subscription priced at $14.99 (it was first announced at $15.00 and repriced in a later revision of the product notice). It unlocks the Market and the Kina and Quna Exchange, adds gameplay benefits for members, and opens a members-only shop where extra purchases can be made with Kina. It is optional in the sense that the game is playable without it, but it is the gate on player-to-player trading.5454NCsoft published the full benefit list on August 18, 2026. Every benefit runs for 30 days from the moment the membership is activated rather than from the moment it is bought.5656BenefitWithout MembershipWith MembershipRemote StorageStorage is reachable only through storage NPCs in the worldStorage sits at the bottom of the Cube and is always availableMarketItems can be listed for sale but not boughtItems can be both listed and boughtPersonal TradeUnavailableFive trades a day, and the other player also needs an active membershipExchangeUnavailableKina and Quna can be exchangedWind Breeze MerchantsThe shop opens only at merchant NPCs in the worldThe shop opens from the menu at any timeOdyle Energy Cube selectionOdyle Energy can be injected once when opening reward Cubes from Expedition or Transcendence contentTwice, and Sanctuary reward Cubes are included as wellOdyle Energy capacityBase capacityRaised by an amount NCsoft has said it will announce later; still unpublished as of October 7, 2026Shugo Festa Key capacityUp to 12 keys can be heldUp to 21 keys can be held5858The membership sells on its own from the Subscribe menu in game. The revised product notice moved the start of sales to September 30, 2026 at 6:00 AM PDT, the opening of Advance Access, with sales running until further notice. It can only be bought when fewer than 60 days remain on each membership benefit, purchases are capped at three per server per month, and each purchase adds another 30 days. Benefits apply to every character on the server where the membership was bought and to no other server. The same revision lowered the price to $14.99, raised the Shugo Festa Key cap for members, and removed a World Exchange feature from the benefit list; the remaining time is shown on the membership screen of the Subscribe menu.5959Two changes announced after the Launch Scale Test bear on the membership. The notice that closed the test on September 18, 2026 said direct player-to-player trades are disabled as an anti-bot measure, so the Personal Trade row above may not be usable at launch; the notice did not say whether or when direct trading returns. The same notice gave Membership holders in good standing a priority queue when a server is at capacity, a privilege NCsoft says it can revoke from accounts with disciplinary action against them or suspected of breaking the Terms of Service.6161In-Game Shop6363CategoryContentsStated PolicyCosmeticsOutfits, wings, pets, weapon skins, accessoriesPurely aesthetic; sold cosmetics give no gameplay or combat advantageConsumablesPotions, resurrection stones, and similar combat aidsCan assist during combat but do not affect gear progression or long-term power, and the same consumables are earnable through regular gameplay6565Daeva Passes6666The battle passes are called Daeva Passes and are sold per character rather than per account. Each pass mixes cosmetics, items, upgrade materials, and other in-game currencies across its track. The Standard Track is available to every player and fills as you engage with content across the world. The Premium Track is optional, bought with Quna, and layers bonus rewards on top of the same progress. Quna earned through the Exchange can be used to buy it.6868The first global passes went on sale with Advance Access on September 30, 2026. Dawn Legion (Elyos) and Ishalgen Mercenary (Asmodian) run to pass level 100 until December 15, 2026, with a free Basic track and a 1,500 Quna Premium track; Planet's Call runs to level 50 until October 28, 2026, free or 1,000 Quna for Premium. Pass levels can be bought for 50 Quna each. Reward tables, experience sources and the Pass Shop are on Daeva Pass.7070Founder's Packs and Early Access7272NCsoft put Founder's Packs on sale on July 22, 2026 at 6:00 AM PDT. Buying one was the only way into advance access, which ran for five days from September 30, 2026. NCsoft's last-chance notice of October 1, 2026 (Pacific time) gave October 5, 2026 at 8:00 AM PDT, two hours after the free-to-play launch, as the final time to buy one. Three tiers were sold, each containing everything in the tier below it. All prices are set in US dollars and converted for other currencies.7474TierPriceContentsStandard$24.99Five-day advance access, one Daeva's Campaign Supply Chest, and the Unique-grade title Vanguard of AtreiaDeluxe$49.99All of Standard, plus the seven-piece Ascended Daeva armour skin set and the Eternal Sun weapon skin chestUltimate$99.99All of Deluxe, plus the Daeva's Styling Chest, the six-piece Moonlit Aria armour skin set, the Black Dragon pet and the Blazing Sun Wings7676The Daeva's Campaign Supply Chest is a levelling kit: ten each of the Return, Courage, Speed, Benediction and Absorption Scrolls, one hundred Life Potions, fifty Life Serums, thirty Healing Potions, ten thousand Power Shards and five Resurrection Spiritstones. The Daeva's Styling Chest holds a Customization Voucher and a seven-day Appearance Change Voucher. Every title, skin, pet and wing across the three tiers is explicitly appearance-only and grants no stats, which keeps the packs inside the cosmetic-plus-convenience framing NCsoft has used for the rest of the shop.7777On the first global livestream on August 7, 2026, NCsoft announced that every Founder's Pack tier now also includes 30 days of Membership, applied retroactively to packs bought before the announcement. The team also said on the broadcast that Founder's Pack cosmetics will not be sold in the in-game shop later; that commitment was made on air and has not yet appeared in written official text. The membership addition itself did reach written form on August 18, 2026, when NCsoft revised the Founder's Pack product notice to list a Special Quai Membership in all three tiers, and again in a storefront post on August 21.7979On October 3, 2026 NCsoft promised to make the pack cosmetics (the title, armor and weapon skins, pet and wings) usable by every character on the account on any server, after Advance Access players objected to the original per-character and per-server binding. The membership and the two chests stay one-time rewards. Full detail is on Founder's Packs.8181Purchase Rules8383One pack per account per platform. Buying a second pack does not stack the advance-access window or grant duplicate rewards.A pack is locked to the platform it was bought on. A Steam purchase can only be played through Steam, a Purple purchase only through Purple. Everyone shares the same servers regardless.Upgrades between tiers are available on Purple only and are priced at the difference: $25 from Standard to Deluxe, $75 from Standard to Ultimate, $50 from Deluxe to Ultimate. On Steam there is no upgrade path, so the only route is a refund and a repurchase.Refunds are available before launch. After launch they are limited to fourteen days, with under two hours played and no bundled items claimed, and are processed by whichever storefront took the payment.The packs went on sale in some countries while age-rating review was still pending. NCsoft has stated that access may be restricted for buyers who do not meet the final rating requirements once it is determined.84+One pack per account per platform.

NCsoft has stated that access may be restricted for buyers who do not meet the final rating requirements once it is determined.8585The platform lock applies to the pack, not to characters. Support answers revised in late September 2026 say a Steam-created character can be played through PURPLE with the Steam login option, and a PURPLE character can be played on Steam once the Steam account is linked to the NC account (or if PURPLE was signed into with Steam in the first place). Claimed Founder's Pack items carry one of three binding types: character-bound items stay with one character, class-bound items can be shared with other characters of the same class, and server-bound items are shared with every character on that server.8787First-time card payments may trigger a one-time verification step through the payment provider, including a redirect to the card issuer's secure authentication page. The pending authorization used for verification is cancelled once verification succeeds, or automatically after three hours if it is not used. Gift cards and prepaid cards are not supported.8989From September 23, 2026 PURPLE also accepts Apple Pay, in 56 countries, and Cash App Pay, in the United States. Which methods appear depends on the buyer's country and setup.9191The global support FAQ, revised on September 30, 2026, adds several payment rules. Quna is bought inside AION 2, and NCoin cannot be used for Quna or any other premium purchase. Checkout currently supports US dollars only; euros and pounds were accepted earlier and no longer are, and the payment provider's additional authentication only succeeds when it is set to the same currency as the store. On Steam, purchases draw on the Steam Wallet, so funds have to be added first. On PURPLE, purchases can be paid in cash, with mileage, or with both; the FAQ does not say how that mileage is earned. The September 30, 2026 product notices show that cash purchases of skins, pets and wings on the global service earn Mileage, spent in an in-game A2 Mileage shop (see Global Launch Prices below). Purchased items arrive in in-game storage. Purchases of virtual currency and digital items are generally final, with exceptions such as purchases by minors without a guardian's consent or where the law requires a refund.9393Founder's Pack rewards are delivered during advance access rather than at purchase. Buyers who do not claim them during advance access can still claim them afterwards on any server through a dedicated Founder's Pack claim button. How the servers themselves are structured during and after that window is covered on Global Launch and Platforms.9595Live-Build Revenue Mix (KR and TW)9797In its Q1 2026 earnings disclosure, NCsoft broke down where AION 2's KR and TW revenue came from across the first full quarter the game was live. The disclosed mix was roughly a quarter from memberships, a quarter from cosmetic skins, and the remaining half from the Quna premium currency, with a meaningful share of the Quna spend converting onward into in-game item purchases. The disclosure also confirmed that AION 2 generated several hundred billion Korean won in revenue across the first full quarter on the KR and TW live build. These are KR and TW live-build figures specific to the period through Q1 2026; the global launch's monetization structure is still being tuned, so the same split should not be assumed for the Western release.9999What Is Confirmed vs Pending101101Announced for global: free to play with no purchase required; a $14.99 per 30 days Membership that gates Market trading; the Kina and Quna currencies; a player-to-player Kina and Quna Exchange; per-character Daeva Passes with a free Standard Track and a Quna Premium Track; a cosmetics-and-consumables shop; and Founder's Packs carrying five days of Early Access plus 30 days of Membership in every tier.103103Published on September 30, 2026, with Advance Access: the Quna price points, the in-game shop's launch catalog, the Daeva Pass reward tables and the Mileage shop. Still pending for global as of October 7, 2026: the size of the Odyle Energy capacity increase for members, which NCsoft has said it will announce later, and any return of direct player trading. The Membership benefit list was published on August 18, 2026, and the Founder's Pack tiers, contents and prices on July 22, 2026.105105Korean and Taiwanese build only: the Kwairing Express Membership and its won pricing, the collaboration cosmetics, and any mobile-specific store behaviour.

The Korean column follows the Korean service's own product notices. The Launch Scale Test in September had the shop, Quna, passes, memberships, the Market and all trading switched off, so nothing from the test applies here.111111AreaKorean ServiceGlobal (Announced)DifferenceMembership priceKwairing Express Membership, 25,000 won for 28 daysSpecial Quai Membership, $14.99 for 30 daysDifferent name, price and term; the same cap of three purchases per server per monthTrading and storage perksRemote storage, buying on the Market, five personal trades a day, the Kina and Quna Exchange, the members' merchant menu, the World MarketThe same listNone announcedOdyle Energy perksTwo Cube injections instead of one, 50% more recharge per cycle, 50% more base capacityTwo Cube injections instead of one, plus a capacity increase whose size is still unannouncedNo recharge boost in the global list; capacity figure pendingOther reward perksDouble Shugo Festival reward keys and reward-card picks, double weekly Abyss time, and a members-only event passNot in the global membership noticeAbsent from the published global benefit listDirect player tradingAvailable to members, five trades a dayDisabled as an anti-bot measure after the Launch Scale Test; the Market stays the trading hubGlobal launches without direct tradesKina and Quna ExchangeMembership-gatedMembership-gated; runs player to player, and the game makes no listings or purchasesNo difference announcedDaeva PassesPer character; Kina Basic track and Quna Premium track; rewards include Odyle Energy and Battle Enhancement ScrollsPer character; free Basic track and Quna Premium track (1,500 Quna for the level 100 pass, 1,000 Quna for the level 50 pass); rewards include Odyle Energy, Battle Enhancement Scrolls, upgrade materials and Pass Shop coins for cosmeticsSame structure, but the global Basic track is free where the Korean one costs KinaShop cosmeticsAppearance items sold for QunaNCsoft's global business-model notice says sold cosmetics give no gameplay or combat advantageGlobal carries a written no-advantage commitmentSpend-linked MileageAt launch, purchases earned Mileage and the Mileage shop listed Battle Enhancement Scrolls and Soul Codex itemsCash purchases of skins, pets and wings earn Mileage, and the A2 Mileage shop sells Lucky Auras, Battle Enhancement Scrolls, Soul Codex, Hidden Cube keys and vouchersBoth services have a spend-linked Mileage shopQueue priorityNot among the Korean membership benefitsMembers in good standing join a priority queue when a server is fullGlobal-only perk113113On paper, the global membership keeps the Korean trading and storage package and drops most of the reward-rate perks the Korean service sells, and the global service launches without direct player trades. The core paid structure is the same in both: a premium currency, a player-run exchange that turns Quna into Kina, a Kina-priced members' shop, and Quna Premium pass tracks that include upgrade materials. The most direct growth sales on the Korean service, the launch-day supply boxes, were already withdrawn there in November 2025, and the Korean service cut its own membership price in June 2026, before the global model was published. NCsoft published the global price list when Advance Access opened on September 30, 2026; it is summarized below.114114Global Launch Prices (September 30, 2026)116116NCsoft published the global launch catalog in product notices on September 30, 2026. Dollar prices are the PURPLE store prices, and NCsoft notes that other stores may price differently. Purchases are delivered to the buying character's shop storage, and most products are limited to the character or server that bought them. Quna is the premium currency; NCoin cannot be used to buy it.118118Quna120120PackPrice400 Quna$5.991,000 Quna$14.992,000 Quna$29.994,000 Quna$59.99122122The packs are sold under Shop, Quna Shop, Recharge, from September 30, 2026 until further notice.

Daeva Pass Premium tracks cost 1,000 or 1,500 Quna, and the Special Quai Membership is $14.99 for 30 days. The full catalog is on In-Game Shop and the passes on Daeva Pass.137137Membership Consolidation: Kwairing Express (June 17, 2026)139139At the June 17, 2026 maintenance on the Korean and Taiwanese build, the separate memberships were retired and consolidated into a single membership called the Kwairing Express Membership. The three previously sold memberships, the Shugo Express Membership, the Sand Breeze Membership, and the Chengarung Membership, ended sales, and the Shugo Express benefits carried over into the new Kwairing Express tier. On the Korean build the unified membership is priced at 25,000 won, down from the 45,000 won of the former Shugo Express tier. Treat that figure as a Korean-build reference point rather than a confirmed global price, since the global terms are still being tuned for Western markets.141141NCsoft announced the change on June 14, 2026. Players with time left on the Shugo Express Membership at the June 17 maintenance were moved to the Kwairing Express Membership, with the remaining time recalculated against the new price, and received 20 Odyle Energy (Bound) and 50 Resurrection Spiritstones (Bound) as compensation. Players holding both a Sand Breeze and a Chengarung Membership were converted for the period in which both were active, and any time left on only one of them was not carried over. A Sand Breeze or Chengarung Membership bought earlier kept its benefits until it expired. The notice also announced a members-only battle pass for Kwairing Express holders from July 1, 2026.144144fromis_9 Collaboration (June 17 to August 12, 2026)146146The same June 17, 2026 maintenance added a cosmetic collaboration with the K-pop group fromis_9 on the Korean and Taiwanese build. The collaboration adds themed costumes, weapons, a pet, and wings, plus performance emotes; wearing the full themed set changes the character's appearance to match the collaboration. Dedicated performance stages went up in Verteron and Altgard, where a player holding the collaboration performance emote can start a stage show that up to five characters join, complete with stage effects and music. A tie-in event, The Stolen Performance Props, runs alongside the collaboration through the August 12, 2026 maintenance. These are cosmetic items consistent with the cash-shop model described above, not power purchases. As with the rest of the monetization model, whether this collaboration reaches the global build is not confirmed. The collaboration event ended with the August 12, 2026 patch, which removed its NPCs and objects and reverted the affected stages to their normal appearance.148148August 2026 Shop Changes (KR and TW)150150The August 12, 2026 patch on the Korean and Taiwanese build removed the wardrobe shop entirely and moved its appearance products to an Appearance tab inside the main Shop. The shop UI was redesigned around a card list with full-screen product previews, and free items are now labeled as free. The change came after community criticism of appearance pricing on the Korean service.152152A pet auto-pickup convenience item also entered the shop in August: a 30-day auto-pickup ticket purchasable twice per month per character from the August 5 patch, with an on-off toggle added on August 12. The ticket's remaining time keeps counting down while the toggle is off.153+The pet auto-pickup convenience item received shop changes in August: a 30-day auto-pickup ticket purchasable twice per month per character from the August 5 patch, with an on-off toggle added on August 12. The ticket's remaining time keeps counting down while the toggle is off.154154The August 26, 2026 patch put a paid server transfer back in the in-game shop on the Korean and Taiwanese build, open from that date until September 1 and only between 20:00 and 24:00 each day. It costs 1,000 Quna per account plus 200 Quna for each character moved, and another 1,000 Quna per slot if the destination server has no unlocked character slot free. Transfers stay inside the same faction and are limited to one per account.156156The same patch opened a new Daeva Pass season on the Korean build, sold in two tiers per character: a Basic track for 2,000,000 Kina and a Premium track for 1,000 Quna that also hands over ten bound Odyle Energy up front. Both run to pass level 50, missions completed during the season award pass experience, levels past 50 pay out repeat rewards, and a single level can be bought outright for 50 Quna.158158Account-Wide Cosmetic Claims After Launch160+The October 6 PDT / October 7 CEST patch implemented that cosmetic entitlement through a dedicated free section in the Shop. Eligible buyers can claim the covered skins and titles on every character and server until a closure announcement; an already-owned item cannot be bought again. Duplicate skins do not consume the paid skin limit. Duplicate inventory-item disposal and removal of duplicate skin-list entries remain planned. If a Founder purchase fails, close the game client and try again. See Founder's Packs for the tier entitlements and one-time reward exceptions.162+Related Pages160164Global Launch and PlatformsAION 2 OverviewGear and Progression
