May 2026 brought four update notes to the Korean and Taiwanese service of AION 2, published on May 6, 13, 20 and 27. The month's headline content was the Mirror of Scarlet Desire Transcendence dungeon with three new Arcana sets on May 13, followed on May 27 by the Chalice of Muspel Sanctuary, the Brooch equipment slot, wing enhancement and new islands in the middle layer of the Abyss. 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.
May 6, 2026
A short promotional note that added one new subscription Daeva Pass.
New Subscription Pass
A new Daeva Pass, Alturadon's Horn (알투라돈의 뿔; no official English name yet), was added. It could be subscribed to from after the May 6 maintenance until 05:00 on June 2, 2026, and used from after the May 6 maintenance until the regular maintenance on June 3, 2026. The pass is activated with the item Alturadon's Coin (Bound) (알투라돈의 주화; provisional name). Activating it unlocks the rewards on every reward line.
Item | Price | Contents | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
Alturadon's Coin (Bound) | 1,000 Quna | 1 Alturadon's Coin (Bound); activates the pass under Subscription, Daeva Pass, Alturadon's Horn; sold in Shop, Event | 4 per server (level 45 or higher) |
Alturadon's Horn (Basic, Premium) | 1 Alturadon's Coin (Bound) | 5 Odyle Energy (Bound); mission rewards during the use period | 1 per character (level 45 or higher) |
May 13, 2026
The note was revised three times after publication: on May 13 it added the Abyss server matching schedule and recorded the final reclaim of duplicated Hero's Invitation (영웅의 초대장; provisional name) Daeva Pass rewards from April 22, and on May 14 it added the reversal of the Firestorm cancel-timing change listed under the Sorcerer below.
Transcendence
Stages 1 to 4 of the Transcendence dungeon Mirror of Scarlet Desire were unlocked, with new season missions for it under Season, Season Missions, Transcendence.
Stage | Entry item level |
|---|---|
1 | 3,200 |
2 | 3,500 |
3 | 3,800 |
4 | 4,000 |
The dungeon's Odyle Energy Cube has a chance to drop Rampant Thought of Fear (Bound) (폭주한 공포의 사념; provisional name), a material for new Hero-grade equipment recipes scheduled for May 27.
Ranking point rules for Transcendence dungeons changed: if the party's makeup changes after entering (someone leaves or drops in), nobody earns ranking points in that run. The Odyle Energy Cube can still be claimed on a clear, and the restriction resets on a new attempt.
Characters with too little contribution against the final boss no longer earn ranking points.
Arcana
Three new Arcana sets were added: Punishing Overture (징벌), Protected Soul (수호) and Indomitable Dedication (불굴). Enhancing the new Arcana raises deity stats (주신 스탯) by 2 per level.
Set | 2-piece | 4-piece |
|---|---|---|
Punishing Overture | Boss damage tolerance +5% | PvE Attack 60; PvE damage amplification +10% while HP is 70% or higher |
Protected Soul | Restoration +5% | Weapon damage amplification 5%; a 10,000 shield for 5 seconds when HP falls to 30% or lower (120-second cooldown) |
Indomitable Dedication | Weapon damage tolerance +5% | Critical damage tolerance 5%; PvP damage tolerance +50% for 5 seconds when hit by a status effect (150-second cooldown) |
The new Arcana drop from the Mirror of Scarlet Desire Odyle Energy Cube, or can be made by fusion with Noble Crystal (Bound) (고결한 결정).
Extracting Punishing Overture, Protected Soul or Indomitable Dedication Arcana gives Noble Crystal (Bound).
Three Mysterious Crystal (Bound) (신비로운 결정) or three Harmonious Crystal (Bound) (조화로운 결정) can be converted into one Noble Crystal (Bound) through Material Conversion.
Expeditions
Dungeon and mode | Odyle Energy Cube Kina before | After |
|---|---|---|
Dying Dramata's Nest and Cradle of Nihility, Conquest Hard | 600,000 | 810,000 |
Hall of Illusion and Azure Breath Island, Conquest Normal | 705,000 | 810,000 |
Hall of Illusion and Azure Breath Island, Conquest Hard | 705,000 | 1,005,000 |
Conquest and Transcendence Counts
The weekly dungeon reward recharge count became 21 for Expeditions and 14 for Transcendence. The weekly cumulative-play thresholds at which Kina rewards step down were raised:
Mode | 100% Kina | 80% Kina | 60% Kina | 40% Kina | 20% Kina |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Conquest | 84 runs or fewer | 105 or fewer | 126 or fewer | 147 or fewer | 148 or more |
Transcendence | 56 runs or fewer | 70 or fewer | 84 or fewer | 98 or fewer | 99 or more |
Daily Dungeons
A new dungeon, Crobahki's Secret Depository, was added to the Unknown Fissure (미지의 틈새) set of Daily Dungeons.
Abyss
When a PvP kill happens near a Dimensional Core (차원핵) or an Abyss boss monster, every character who damaged the victim now also earns contribution toward that core or boss.
A server rematch reset Artifact Siege and the Abyss Corridor.
The rematch arranged 21 West and East matching groups with staggered start times. In the first seven groups the Artifact Siege starts at 10:00 PM on Wednesdays and Saturdays, the Abyss boss at 10:30 PM on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and Guardian Lord Nahma at 10:00 PM on Fridays and Sundays. The next seven groups start each event 5 minutes later, and the last seven groups 10 minutes later.
Class Changes
Class | Skill | Change |
|---|---|---|
All classes | Defiance | Its Tenacity (강인함) effect can no longer be removed by buff-removal skills, and Tenacity's +100% status effect resistance became status effect immunity. |
All classes | Tenaciousness, Comrade in Arms, Second Skin, Evasion Contract (회피의 계약), Mother Nature's Breath (대자연의 숨결), Hibernation (동면), Arctic Armor (빙설의 갑주), Enhance: Spirit's Benediction (강화: 정령의 가호), Command: Proxy (명령: 대역), Salvation, Yustiel's Power, Barrier Spell (결계의 주문) | No longer affected by cooldown-increase effects. The cooldown shown on passive skills is now labelled as a re-trigger limit. |
Lunge Stance | Base effect gains 20% lower MP consumption while active. | |
Gladiator | Mocking Blade | Added a tooltip line for its HP absorption against bosses. |
Assault Fury | Its stun chance had been set higher than other classes' assault skills: base 50% to 30%, and 75% to 50% with the specialization. | |
Recuperation (쾌유의 주문; provisional) | Fixed the second effect not stacking when recast within 1 second with specialization 1 equipped. | |
Chanter | Gust Rampage | Fixed being able to move while using it without the movement specialization. |
Debilitating Mark | Fixed sometimes failing to attack a moving target. | |
Cleric | Salvation | Fixed failing to remove some damage-over-time effects. |
Arctic Armor | Base effect adds Magic Displacement (마력 치환) while MP is 50% or higher: damage taken is split, 50% to HP and 10% to MP. Specialization 2 changed from 1.5 times Cold Snap (냉기 소환) passive damage to 1.5 times the Absorb Essence passive effect. Specialization 3 now applies 1.5 times to every Robe of Cold effect, including its defense and critical resistance increases, instead of only its slow. | |
Sorcerer | Element Enhancement | Faster animation; the effect now applies the moment the skill is used. |
Sorcerer | Soul Freeze | Faster animation. |
Sorcerer | Frost Burst | No longer removes the Frost status effect when it hits. PvP damage +20%. Specialization 4's 300 MP damage now ignores block and evasion and lands as a critical hit. Specialization 5 changed from a 25% chance to re-apply Frost to a 50% chance to reset Frost Burst's cooldown. |
Sorcerer | Frost | Specialization 4 raised from +20% to +25% Frost chance. |
Sorcerer | Firestorm | Specialization 3 changed from 10% lower combat speed to 50% lower healing received. Using Dodge now cancels the skill after the projectile has launched. A change to its cancel timing, made to secure time for the projectile to fire, was reverted to the old behaviour because it hurt the controls; it will return later with improved function and visuals. |
Sorcerer | Bittercold Wind | Specialization 5 changed from a 25% chance to apply Frost for 2 seconds on the final hit to reducing Frost's cooldown by 1 second on hit. |
Sorcerer | Hellfire | Faster projectile. |
Sorcerer | Steel Barrier | Restores 300 Action Power (행동력; provisional) when the shield ends. |
Sorcerer | Grace of Enhancement | Passive trigger changed from MP 50% or higher to MP 25% or higher. |
HUD Editing
Added snapping to the grid and to other UI elements when moving individual elements, plus undo and redo.
Added a margin setting that keeps elements a set distance from the screen edge, and an in-game preview of the HUD being edited.
Added HUD presets: up to six, each renameable. Presets can be saved and shared as a code, applied from a received code, or saved to and loaded from a file stored in a common folder so other characters can use it.
Your own buff and debuff icons can be set in number and size, up to two rows of 14 (28 in total).
Currently equipped skills and consumables now show in edit mode, and grid settings persist after leaving and re-entering edit mode.
See HUD Editor.
Crafting
The crafting bench and crafting management UI gained a separate Succession Crafting tab that shows only succession recipes.
The succession material picker now lists bound and unbound equipment together; equipment bound to another character is not shown.
When a normal craft produces an item that binds on acquisition, the crafting UI now says so (the item binds to the crafting character).
New Succession Crafting recipes upgrade the crafted Draconic gear lines Eungryong Dragon Lord (응룡왕) and Giryong Dragon Lord (기룡왕) into Radiant Eungryong Dragon Lord and Radiant Giryong Dragon Lord gear (provisional names).
Material Conversion
Statue Remnant: Kromede's Desolation (Bound) (조각상의 잔흔: 크로메데의 심연; provisional) converts into Statue: Kromede's Desolation.
Scarlet Desire Fragment (붉은 연심의 조각; provisional) converts into a Mirror of Scarlet Desire Appearance Selection Box (Bound). Both materials drop from the new dungeon's Odyle Energy Cube.
Added the recipe turning three Mysterious Crystal (Bound) or three Harmonious Crystal (Bound) into a Noble Crystal (Bound).
Odyle Energy (Bound) conversion is now limited to 16 per server, with a new recipe allowing 4 per character.
Shop
The Special tab of the Wind Breeze Merchants (산들바람 상회) was reorganized:

Odyle Energy (Bound) | 21 per server per week | 4 per character and 16 per server per week | 100,000 Kina |
Expedition/Transcendence Challenge Ticket Selection Chest (Bound) | 21 per server per week | 7 per server per week | 100,000 Kina |
UI Improvements
In Sanctuaries, the notifier shows an icon only in areas where direct and skill resurrections are counted, with a tooltip on the count area. When a party member dies, the party and force list shows their remaining direct and skill resurrections.
The Sanctuary waiting-room party popup now shows each member's Resurrection Spiritstone count, and its Combat Power toggle moved to a single button at the top right.
The Odyle Energy Cube reward selection defaults to 2 for membership holders. The Odyle Energy recharge quantity picker no longer allows 0, and its plus and minus buttons disable at the maximum and minimum.
World map boss tooltips list all drops in their main loot list, not only equipment.
Clicking a name in the mini chat or popup chat opens the interaction popup.
Seven new Markers were added (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0 and Moon).
The skill UI lost its buttons for the skill-level popup and the chain and conditional skill list popup.
Other Improvements
The impact-type accuracy stat available through Soul Inscription on guards changed to status effect accuracy.
Season missions, achievements and quests now count monster kills for party members without contribution.
Characters kicked by a party leader or force leader can no longer join dungeons that leader creates.
Expeditions, Transcendence and Sanctuaries can show a marker for the boss's rear arc (Settings, Information Display, Combat, Boss Rear Marker).
Seed of Insight (간파의 씨앗; provisional) was added to the Shugo Festival reward list and to the Open with Key rewards of the Hidden Cube, and its reuse time dropped from 1 minute to 30 seconds.
Bug Fixes
Transcendence bonus score now drops from the first player death.
Fixed the Transcendence dungeon banner not showing in the season UI.
Azure Breath Island: fixed the Fafnite ore icons summoned by Awakened Alturadon showing on the minimap, and the boss sometimes fixating on two players during its Trial of the Awakened Beast (깨어난 야수의 시련) pattern.
Corroded Decontamination Facility: fixed Terminator Bargott's bombs from its chain pattern and from its pattern below 30% HP being able to spawn twice.
Eight quest steps in Verteron (three) and Altgard (five) that required an emote (/pray, /kneel, /think, /worry, /like or /clap) can now be completed without one.
The number of final-boss kills that can be recharged with items in Conquest and Transcendence rose from 10 to 30.
Crafting is no longer available in the Abyss, and the craft button is disabled there.
The slow and fast settings for scrolling text (Settings, Accessibility, Visual Aids, Text Speed) were made slower and faster respectively, and scrolling text now continues automatically.
Fixed the wrong quantity being given when buying the Hahoe Yangban Mask (Appearance: Helmet) (하회 양반탈; provisional).
Added a fourth dye slot to the Snow-Black Wind (설흑의 바람; provisional) lower garment to fix an undyeable area.
Adjusted the baby kitten pet's whisker marks and removed the ball that bounced behind the seal pet while riding it.
Added guards to the Astin Mercenaries (아스틴 용병단; provisional) outpost in Verteron.

Fixed timestamps and names being shown as glyphs in the mini chat and popup chat when the enemy faction chatted in the Abyss.
Reclaims and Restorations
With the weekly reward counts set to 21 (Expedition) and 14 (Transcendence), characters holding more than the new count received Expedition or Transcendence challenge tickets by mail for the excess.
Remaining duplicated Hero's Invitation Daeva Pass rewards from April 22, which could not be reclaimed earlier because characters did not hold enough, were reclaimed.
May 20, 2026
The note's header says the fix for the shield summoned by Kromede's Desolation sometimes disappearing was pulled from the list because it needed more checking; that fix is not included below.
Transcendence
Ranking points for clearing tier 2 and tier 3 Transcendence went up. Points already earned are kept, and the change applies from the update.
The Mirror of Scarlet Desire Odyle Energy Cube has a higher chance of higher-grade Arcana.
Abyss
Near Dimensional Cores and Abyss bosses, dealing damage or healing allies during PvP now also builds contribution to the core or boss in real time.

Templar | Armor of Balance | The effect now applies immediately. |
Mother Nature's Breath | Base effect adds Mother Nature: a 25% chance to recover HP equal to 30% of the damage taken. | |

Ranger | Shackling Arrow | Root chance against players raised from 50% to 75%. |
Ranger | Unyielding Resolve | Now also raises impact-type resistance, with values adjusted: 11.5% at level 1, plus 1.5% per level. |

May 27, 2026

The default respawn points of each area in Abyssal Forge and Corroded Decontamination Facility changed, and the portal that appeared in the Corroded Decontamination Facility starting area was removed.
Kisks can no longer be placed anywhere in Abyssal Forge or Corroded Decontamination Facility, boss rooms included.
Half of the Kina from Abyssal Forge: Ludra is now Bound Kina.
Abyss
Chaotic Lower Reshanta (혼돈의 에레슈란타 하층):
Argo, the Spirit King and Watcher Kaira: HP raised about threefold.
Guardian Lord Nahma, the Dimensional Core that appears through the Artifact Siege, and the event bosses Executor Tamasa, Executor Argo and Executor Kaira (집행자 타마사, 아그로, 카이라): HP raised about 1.5 times.

The Dimensional Core from the Artifact Siege, Enraged Guardian Lord Nahma, and the event bosses Executioner Dramos, Turncoat Ducal and Ravager Marakha (처형관 드라모스, 반역자 듀칼, 파멸자 마라카): HP raised about 1.5 times.
Four new islands with monsters were added, each reached by a nearby updraft. Other players' icons, allied and enemy alike, are not shown on these islands.
New season mission Lawless Zone (무법지대) under Season, Season Missions, Abyss, rewarding Oath Coins and Potential Amplification Stone: Abyss (Unique) (Bound).
New Abyss equipment: Guardian and Archon Praetorian Captain weapons and guards, sold in the Abyss shop, plus an Elite Praetorian Captain weapon. They can also be made through Succession Crafting from the existing Elite Legion Commander weapon and Legion Commander guard.
Field
HP of field named monsters and Field Bosses in Verteron and Altgard was raised about two to three times.
Brooch
A new equipment slot, the Brooch, was added. Brooches come from crafting, or from Material Conversion using Kina and the Gear Change Voucher obtained in Chalice of Muspel. See Accessories.
New Equipment
Crafting designs for Genesis and Nemesis Dragon Lord (창룡왕, 멸룡왕) weapons and guards were added.
New designs upgrade Radiant Eungryong Dragon Lord and Radiant Giryong Dragon Lord weapons and guards into Genesis and Nemesis Dragon Lord weapons and guards through Succession Crafting.

Succession Crafting
Genesis and Nemesis Dragon Lord gear can be upgraded into Radiant Genesis and Radiant Nemesis Dragon Lord gear.
Abyss equipment can be upgraded to the next tier with Abyss Points and Medals: weapons and guards from Decanus (십부장) to Centurion (백부장) to Tribunus (천부장), and from Legion Commander to Elite Legion Commander to Praetorian Captain; armor and accessories from Decanus to Centurion to Tribunus. Elite Legion Commander is a provisional rendering.
Hero weapons from a lower Sanctuary can be upgraded to the next Sanctuary's Hero weapon with a Gear Change Voucher: Ludra weapon or guard to Corroded Ruler (침식된 지배자) weapon or guard to Lava Heart weapon or guard.
Wings
Each pair of Wings can now be enhanced for an added owned effect, up to +10.
Enhancement uses Kina, Sync Stone (Unique) and Enhancement Stones.
Every kind of wing feather from Expeditions can be converted into Enhancement Stones or Soul Crystals. Enhancement Stones were used instead of feathers because players hold very different numbers of feathers.
Shugo Festival and Dimensional Invasion
Shugo Merchant Protection: fixed the entry Shugo NPC and the wagon sometimes swapping positions; the event's monsters were raised in grade, increasing HP and other combat stats.
Dimensional Invasion: the monsters in the Beritra Air Raid (브리트라 공습), Spirit Raid (정령의 습격) and Cursed Sword (저주받은 검) events were raised in grade, increasing HP and other combat stats. Event names are provisional.
Market
Brooches were added to the accessory slots under Main, Recommended Equipment in The Market and World Market, and the sale list's accessory category gained a Brooch tab.
Kick Vote
Expeditions, Transcendence and Sanctuaries gained a vote to remove a party or force member mid-dungeon. In a dungeon where instant kicks are locked because a mid-boss has died, the vote replaces the kick when the party has three or more members.
The party leader, force leader or force deputy starts the vote, choosing the target and a reason, and is counted as voting yes. Everyone else except the target votes yes or no within a time limit; not voting counts as an abstention (no).
The required number of yes votes depends on turnout and on party or force makeup: a party needs a unanimous yes, a force a majority. Once reached, the target is removed from the dungeon at once.
Customization
The outfit preview gained a Current Appearance button showing your equipped appearance with per-part hide settings applied, and it is now the default when entering customization.
During character creation the button is not shown, and the outfit preview defaults to underwear.
Item Recovery
Items sold to NPC shops by mistake can now be recovered, if sold within the last 3 days. The recovery list keeps up to 50 entries and drops the oldest when full; dropped entries cannot be recovered.
Each recovery uses one recovery count per character, and a stack counts as one recovery regardless of quantity. Timed items cannot be recovered. Recovered items go straight to the inventory (cube). Recovery counts reset at 00:00 on January 1 each year.
Legions
The Legion member list shows item level and Combat Power. Clicking a member's name offers profile, party invite and add friend.
Legion members' logins are announced in chat. If the alert does not show in the Legion tab, enable it under chat settings (tab Legion, system alert Legion).
Entering a dungeon from the Legion hideout now returns you to the hideout when you leave.
Season Missions
