Revision 1

This page covers AION 2 update notes for the Korean and Taiwanese service published in October 2026, and so far that is one note: October 7, 2026. It will be extended as later weekly notes are published. The October 7 note raised Soul Crystal rewards from the Hidden Cube with retroactive payment, expanded most preset systems from three to five slots, improved refining stone odds in the two newest Sanctuaries and ended the Chuseok Expedition and Transcendence boost. These notes describe the Korean and Taiwanese service only; the global service launched separately on October 5, 2026 and is not covered here. See Update History for the wider timeline and Patch Notes: September 2026 for the previous month.

October 7, 2026

Achievements

• World map icons for Field Bosses now show whether the kill achievement is done: a kill achievement badge appears on the boss icon while it is incomplete, and no badge appears once it is complete or if the boss has no achievement (Achievements and Titles).

Nameplates

• An option to hide the player's own nameplate was added under Settings > Info Display > General > Nameplate > Show My Nameplate.

Class Changes

• All classes: fixed attacks made while airborne sometimes not landing even when the target was in range.

Abyss

• Upper layer of Ereshuranta: a character that exceeds the entry stat limit after entering, for example by changing equipment, now dies instantly. Removal from the map and the one-hour deduction from usage time still apply as before.

• Server matching changed: the server rematch reset Artifact and Abyss Corridor occupation. NCsoft pointed players to its community notice for the details of the eighth Chapter 1 matching (Server Matching).

• Optimization was applied to reduce stuttering during large battles in the upper, lower and middle layers of Ereshuranta and in the Abyss Rift Zone.

Refining Stones

• The chance of higher-grade Refining Stones (제련석) was raised in the Chalice of Muspel (Normal and Hard) and the Snowfield of Sorrow (Easy, Normal and Hard).

• Artisan's Finest Refining Stone (Bound) (달인의 최상급 제련석) can be bought in the Expedition exchange shop.

Abyss Occupation War

• In the Abyss Occupation War (어비스 점령전; provisional), the faction that did not land the last hit on the Dimensional Core now also receives rewards (Artifacts).

Wind Breeze Merchants

• The prices of Resurrection Spiritstone (Bound) and Pet: Auto-Pickup Ticket (Bound) in the Wind Breeze Merchants (산들바람 상회) > Special tab were lowered.

• Because the auto-pickup ticket's price was lowered, the Kina difference paid on earlier purchases will be refunded soon, based on play logs.

• The NPC shop sell price of the Pet: Auto-Pickup Ticket (Bound) was also lowered.

Painting Remnants

• The mode-specific Painting Remnants (명화의 잔흔) earned in the Shugo Festival were merged into a single "Shugo Festa (Remnant: Painting)" item. Mode-specific remnants already held can be converted into it through material conversion.

• New material conversion recipes turn Painting Remnants from Expeditions into Enhancement Stones and Soul Crystals.

Duty Quests

• Rewards for duty quests in Verteron and Altgard were raised to the same level as in Eltnen and Morheim.

Shop Additions and Changes

• Stigma Shard products were added to the Abyss shop, the Nightmare shop and the Festa shop (Stigma System).

• The Abyss shop added a Daevanion Crystal: Asphel (Bound) (데바니온 결정: 아스펠; provisional) product that costs fewer Abyss Points than before.

• Soul Crystals in the Festa shop are now sold in bundles of 50, up to 15 bundles a week.

• Soul Crystals in the Nightmare shop are now sold in bundles of 50.

Daily Dungeon Rewards

• Daily Dungeons now give more rewards at low scores, and the gaps between score brackets were narrowed.

Hidden Cube

• Soul Crystals obtained from the Hidden Cube by spending a key rose from 100 to 1,000.

• Players who spent keys for Soul Crystals during Chapter 1 will receive the extra amount under the new rate retroactively, based on play logs.

Events

Spark of Resurrection

From after maintenance on October 7 until maintenance on October 21, 2026, extra Resurrection Spiritstones can be bought on top of the regular shop stock.

Expedition and Transcendence Chuseok Boost Up Ends

• With the event over, its event items and material conversion recipes were removed and rewards returned to normal amounts.

• The Hidden Cube returned to its original appearance.

Improvements

• Sound options: a setting to turn the player's own wing sounds on or off was added.

• Presets for equipment, wings, titles, the Pantheon, Genus Insight, skills and Arcana were expanded from 3 to 5, and the HUD preset sets were expanded to 5 to match.

• Closet presets were expanded from 3 to 6.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed characters not being visible when playing on Radeon 8060S integrated graphics.

• Fixed several visual artifacts when using FSR.

• Fixed issues on some mobile devices: the game force-closing right after launch on the Xiaomi Redmi Note 14, and the UI being cut off on some Galaxy Fold devices.

• An existing World Marker now stays visible when moving within a force.

• Fire Temple (Ordeal): fixed one of Kromede's Desire's skills dealing excessive damage to the Spiritmaster's spirits.

October 8 Revision to the October 7 Note

The revised Korean update note gives the Artifact Siege, Abyss boss and Nahma schedules for all 21 matching groups. All times below are Korean Standard Time and apply to the Korean service, rather than the global launch servers.

Expedition Painting Remnants (명화의 잔흔) previously sold to an NPC or deleted are to be restored from play logs. If an item was sold, the Kina obtained from that sale is recovered before restoration. The revised note says restoration will follow; it does not confirm that it has already been completed.
