Added official key art
11July 2026 brought five update notes to the Korean and Taiwanese service of AION 2, on July 1, 8, 15, 22 and 29. The July 1 note shipped Chapter 1. Lands of Sand and Snow, the largest update so far: the Brawler class, the Eltnen and Morheim territories, a level cap of 50, five-player Expeditions and Transcendence, ten-player Sanctuaries, the Pendant slot and a new upper layer of the Abyss. The rest of the month added the Expedition Ordeal mode on July 15, the first paid server transfer window and an overlay map on July 22, and pet auto-loot and a character switch on July 29, with class balance passes in every note. These notes describe the Korean and Taiwanese service only; the global service launched separately on October 5, 2026 and is not covered by them. For the wider timeline, see Update History.22July 1, 202645The note was revised twice on July 1: once to correct the MP cost lines for the Gladiator's Ruinous Blow and the Templar's Doom Shield, and once to add the removal of the Ludra's Bracelet succession recipe for the Corroded Afterimage Bracelet. Both corrections are reflected below.67New Territories89A new Elyos territory, Eltnen, and a new Asmodian territory, Morheim, were added.Completing the Hero Quests in Verteron or Altgard opens a teleport portal in that territory leading to the new one. The portal requires set level, item level and Combat Power conditions.Eltnen and Morheim are released in two parts, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.1011New Class: Brawler1213A new class, the Brawler (권성), was added with its own weapon, the Gauntlets (권갑). Every account received one free character slot.1415Level Cap and Stigma1618The maximum level rose to 50. From level 45, each level gained awards an Superior Stigma Shard (Bound).The maximum Stigma skill level rose from 20 to 25. Levels above 20 are raised with Superior Stigma Shards, which come one per character level from level 45 and one when a Stigma skill first reaches level 20 (resetting that skill takes that shard back).Resetting Stigmas became free. See Stigma System.1820Stats2022New Frontal stats were added: Frontal Damage Amplification, Frontal Damage Tolerance, Frontal Attack, Frontal Defense, Frontal Critical and Frontal Critical Resistance. They can also come from Soul Inscription, pet insight (펫 이해도) and Manastones and Soulstones.The caps were removed from the deity stats Justice (Nezekan), Freedom (Vaizel), Illusion (Kaisinel), Life (Yustiel), Time (Siel), Destruction (Zikel), Death (Triniel), Wisdom (Lumiel), Destiny (Marchutan) and Space (Israphel); from Might, Dexterity, Intelligence, Constitution, Precision and Willpower; from Attack, Defense, Accuracy, Evasion, Critical, Critical Resistance and Block Boost; and from every damage amplification and damage tolerance stat.With amplification and tolerance uncapped, the maximum damage reduction from damage tolerance is limited to 80%.New caps were set: movement speed up to 150%, cooldown reduction up to 60%, and MP cost reduction up to 60%.The described maximum chance for the Critical stat was corrected from 50% to 80%.2224Party and Force2426Parties now hold up to 5 players and forces up to 20. See Parties and Forces.2628Nightmare and Ascension Trial2830Nightmare Layer IV opened with new bosses, and new boss decorations were added to Nightmare, Exchange Shop, Statues.Nightmares without an unlock condition, and those whose unlock condition is met, can now be challenged directly up to stage 10 without clearing earlier stages; clearing a higher stage also grants the first-clear rewards of the stages below it.The Ascension Trial gained a Doom (파멸) difficulty and two new trials, Chamber of the Dead (죽은 자의 침실) and Forgotten Repository (잊힌 저장소).3032Expedition, Transcendence and Sanctuary3234The reward count and final-boss kill limits on Expeditions and Transcendence were removed.Leaving an Expedition or Transcendence run after clearing it without claiming rewards now uses up a count; at 0 the character can no longer enter Expeditions or Transcendence until the weekly reset. The count is shared by characters on the same server.Normal and elite monsters in Expeditions and Transcendence no longer give rewards.Expedition and Transcendence challenge tickets and recharge tickets held in inventories and storage were removed.Pets can now be ridden inside dungeons, except in boss fights and areas with special mechanics.With five-player parties, Expeditions and Transcendence take 5 players and Sanctuaries 10. Some boss patterns were adjusted slightly to suit the new group sizes.The Ode dropped after Conquest (Normal and Hard) bosses is now based on five players, 15 in total.The Expedition (Conquest) and Transcendence dungeon lists now show the most recently added dungeons at the top.3436Expedition3638Citadel of the Fallen Daeva opened in Exploration and Conquest (Normal and Hard).3840ModeEntry levelEntry item levelOdyle Energy costExploration503,80040Conquest (Normal)503,80040Conquest (Hard)504,500604042Hard costs 60 Odyle Energy, with rewards raised in line with the extra energy and the guaranteed-reward count adjusted.

The Odyle Energy cost rose from 40 to 80.The number of kills needed for guaranteed rewards was halved, and accumulated guaranteed-reward counts were halved too, rounding odd numbers up. Sanctuary clear achievement targets were scheduled to be lowered on July 8.Mid-boss rewards in Abyssal Forge: Ludra and the Corroded Decontamination Facility were removed; all rewards now come from the Odyle Energy that appears when the final boss dies.Every Sanctuary's time limit became 2 hours.A new Material Conversion recipe turns 4 Gear Change Voucher: Ludra (Bound) and 50,000,000 Kina into an Abyssal Forge: Weapon Selection Box (Bound). See Sanctuary Raids.5254Shugo Festival and Dimensional Invasion5456Every event that used to run in a phase of the open field now runs on its own separate map, with the same rules. Entry skips the NPC conversation and puts you straight into the map, leaving returns you to where you were, and entry no longer uses a Return Scroll.The minimum contribution for Shugo Merchant Protection rewards became 1,500 points.Monster cube openings by Shugo Festival rank were raised: every event, Shugo Merchant Protection included, now allows at least 2 cubes for non-subscribers and 4 for subscribers even at low ranks, and the top two places in Shugo Merchant Protection allow 3 and 6.A new Shugo Festa event, Shugo's Dilemma, was added: score by gathering exactly the number of players shown on randomly generated platforms. It can reward Shugo's Dilemma (Remnant: Painting) (Bound).5658Pendant and Draconic Materials5860A new equipment slot, the Pendant, was added. Rare and Epic pendants and pendant enhancement materials come from Eltnen and Morheim quests. Unique and higher pendants are enhanced with Kina, Amplify Stones, Balaur's Essence (용족의 정수) and Radiant Balaur's Essence (찬란한 용족의 정수). See Accessories.The horn, hide and scale Draconic materials from Expeditions and Sanctuaries were merged into Balaur's Essence and Radiant Balaur's Essence. The essences convert into whichever Draconic material is needed, and processed Draconic materials from crafting convert back into essences.6062New Arcana Slots6264Four Arcana slots were added: Key, Hourglass, Dice and Lantern. Key and Hourglass Arcana drop in the new Transcendence dungeon; Dice and Lantern Arcana were to follow in a later update.New Arcana belonging to the Punishing Overture, Protected Soul and Indomitable Dedication sets were added. They can be fused with 500,000 Kina and a Pure Crystal (Bound), fixing one option.6466Abyss6668Three Medal Boxes that can be traded and listed on The Market were added. They drop by chance from Chapter 1 Abyss boss merit boxes and from the new Fierce Battle Abyss Directive: Middle Layer (Bound) (격전의 어비스 지령서: 중층; provisional).That directive is completed in Chaotic Middle Reshanta by killing enemy-faction players, and rewards bound medals of various kinds and tradeable Medal Boxes.A server rematch reset Artifact Siege and the Abyss Corridor; matching details were posted separately.A new layer, Chaotic Upper Reshanta (어비스 에레슈란타 표층), was added. Only characters at item level 4,300 or below, or at Combat Power 400K or below, can enter. A character that exceeds the limit inside is removed at once and loses 1 hour of the layer's base use time. It holds up to 300 players per faction (600 in total) and, unlike the lower and middle layers, has no Artifacts.Abyss boss and Artifact Siege rewards are now paid by per-class contribution ranking instead of overall contribution ranking, so more players are rewarded, and the medal rewards for contribution were raised.Season missions pay more medals, and some missions were added.Supply requests give more Abyss Points and Enhancement Stones, and the Season: Crafting and Season: Boss tabs gained Soul Crystal (Bound) rewards.6870New Equipment7072Genesis and Nemesis Dragon Lord armor designs were added, crafted with Radiant Eungryong Dragon Lord or Radiant Giryong Dragon Lord armor as the succession material. Their material, Rampaging Fear Energy: Armor (Bound) (폭주한 공포의 기운: 방어구), comes from converting Lava Heart armor or the Gear Change Voucher from the new Expedition's guaranteed rewards.Guardian and Archon Praetorian Captain armor was added to the Abyss shop, with a design to upgrade Legion Commander armor into it through Succession Crafting.Hero-grade Belt of Nobility (고결의 허리띠), Amulet of Revelation (계시의 아뮬렛) and Amulet of Fierce Battle (격전의 아뮬렛) were added (provisional names). A Unique +10 amulet or belt converts into the Hero-grade version. Hero amulets are enhanced with the Amulet of Fierce Battle Enhancement Scroll (Bound) from the Abyss shop.7274Succession7476The limit on succession attempts was removed, and succession now always succeeds. Materials previously lost to failed successions were to be returned from play logs, starting July 8.Advanced Succession no longer has an attempt limit, and its maximum cost is fixed at 50,000,000 Kina.New Succession Crafting designs: Unique Draconic gear to Hero Draconic gear; Radiant Hyeonryong Dragon Lord (현룡왕) and Radiant Jeokryong Dragon Lord (적룡왕) gear (provisional names) to Eungryong Dragon Lord and Giryong Dragon Lord gear; Unique Abyss gear to Hero Abyss gear; and Tribunus gear to Legion Commander gear.The recipe under Crafting, Succession Crafting, Handicraft that made the Corroded Afterimage Bracelet from a Ludra's Bracelet was removed; converting an Corroded Afterimage Bracelet under Material Conversion, Equipment and then using the succession system gives the same result with the same materials.Because same-grade succession is now 100% and unlimited, the recipe that made a Lava Heart weapon from an Corroded Ruler weapon and a Lava Heart weapon was removed.7678Material Conversion7880The recipe turning Unstable Stigma Shards (Bound) into a Stigma Shard (Bound) now requires level 45.8082Arena and Battlefield8284The Arena of Cooperation became 5 versus 5, and Battlefields 10 versus 10. See Arena.A new battlefield type, Sandstorm Temple (모래바람 사원), was added, and Cradle of Ode Shards ended. Inside a battlefield every player's stats are equalized, mastery skills are fixed at level 20 and Stigma skills at level 25, and no new skills can be learned. See Battlegrounds.Battlefield win and participation rewards in Abyss Points and medals were raised, and wins also give Fragment: Azphel's Trace (Bound).8486Monoliths and Field Bosses8688New Monoliths were added to Eltnen and Morheim. Finding the Empyrean Traces scattered across the territories and resonating with a Monolith raises its level and gives rewards. A Unique +10 Amulet of Revelation converts into the Hero-grade version, and the Amulet of Revelation Enhancement Scroll (Bound) from Monolith level rewards enhances Hero amulets. See Monoliths and Empyrean Traces.New Field Bosses were added to Eltnen and Morheim, with their own paintings and exclusive equipment. Everyone with contribution to a kill now also receives a reward box containing Unique Sync Stone Fragments (Bound) and equipment, and the boss's Painting Remnant, which converts into that boss's painting.8890Hidden Cube and Black Cloud Trading Company9092Hidden Cube rewards were reworked. New: appearances, wings, Intermediate and Superior Manastones, Intermediate and Superior Soulstones, Brilliant Gathering Material Selection Bundle (Bound) and Lucky Kina Box (Bound). Odds and amounts were raised for Resurrection Spiritstones, Soul Codex, Soul Codex: Reset, Mind Potions, Life Crystals, Theostones and scrolls (all Bound).The Black Cloud Trading Company (검은 구름 무역단) gained the Radiant Appearance Box, with a higher chance of Unique appearances than the regular Appearance Box, and every item's price was lowered.The effects of titles and Pantheon decorations from the Season 2 ranking rewards were removed; the items themselves are kept.9294Membership Event Pass9496Each Kwairing Express Membership subscription or extension now grants a Membership Event Pass. A pass gained while one is active waits and starts automatically when the current one is completed or expires. Pass counts, progress and reward history are tracked per server.Characters already holding the membership before July 1 received passes based on the subscription time remaining at the start of the July 1 maintenance: remaining days divided by 28, rounded up. See Monetization and Memberships.9698Market, Closet and Pets98100The Market and World Market gained a Gauntlets tab under weapons, and Brawlers see Gauntlets recommended under Main, Recommended Equipment, Weapon.Special-grade appearances are now shared by all characters on a server. When characters held the same appearance, the duplicates are turned into exchange tickets in the inventory (cube); several copies on one character count as one. Ticket types: Appearance (Set), Weapon Appearance and Appearance (Single) exchange tickets, plus the Daeva Pass Shop Coin: Encore for appearances from the pass shop. Tickets are used in the Closet shop. Achievement counts follow the shared appearance count. The Cozy Rabbit Outfit (포근한 토끼 외형 옷) set, chest and boots were to be converted separately on July 15, and unclaimed appearances in storage converted on July 15.Customized special appearances are shared too. A hair accessory slot was added (Equip, Decoration tab), and the weapon tab gained the Gauntlets.New pets can be obtained in Eltnen and Morheim. Special-grade pets are now shared by all characters on a server; duplicates beyond one become Pet Exchange Tickets (or Encore coins for pass-shop pets), used in Shop, Event. Unclaimed pets in storage were to be converted on July 15. Shops now mark owned special-grade pets as Owned or Stored and Not Purchasable, with a purchase count of 1/1. See Pets and Mounts.100102Characters and Legion Hideouts102104One free character slot was added.New Legion hideouts were placed in Eltnen and Morheim. Renting or extending a hideout covers the hideouts in every territory. Entering takes you to the hideout of the territory you are in, using one Hideout Return Scroll as before. Portals inside each hideout lead to the others without using a scroll; moving from Verteron or Altgard to Eltnen or Morheim this way requires level 45, item level 3,300 and 270,000 Combat Power.104106Sprout Badge and Daeva Express106108The Sprout Badge is given to new and returning players and becomes active when the Taking Flight (새로운 비상) Growth Support is activated together with a Kwairing Express Membership. While active it grants a buff that helps in PvP. It ends when the set Combat Power and item level are reached or its time runs out.Other players who clear an Expedition, Transcendence or Sanctuary with a Sprout player receive Small Odyle Energy (Bound), in proportion to the Odyle Energy the Sprout player spent, up to 14 times a week per server across all three. The reward count goes down with each cube the Sprout player opens, and no more than 2 rewards come from one run however many Sprout players are in it. Dungeon entry screens show a sprout icon and the reward status, and Sprout players show the badge on their class icon.Daeva Express items: the Stronghold and Sealed Dungeon versions clear every uncleared Stronghold or Sealed Dungeon in the chosen territory and give their rewards; the Empyrean Trace version collects every uncollected Empyrean Trace in the chosen territory. See Strongholds and Sealed Dungeons.108110Daevanion110112The Nezekan, Zikel, Vaizel and Triniel boards were expanded and given new node layouts, as more Daevanion Crystals can now be obtained, with a free reset of those four boards.Learn All Nodes learns a whole board at once when you have enough points. Selecting a node with no learned neighbour shows the cheapest route to it and learns as much of the route as your points allow. See Daeva System and Daevanion Board.112114Class Changes114116For all classes, the healing-received reduction in the Arena, Battlefields and the Abyss went from 40% to 30%.
