Transcendence System

New page on the Transcendence endgame and ranking layer
The Transcendence System is AION 2's top-end progression and ranking layer on the KR and TW build. It sits above ordinary leveling and the Daevanion Board, giving high-level players a dedicated endgame loop that rewards the strongest gear and tracks performance on a class-by-class basis. As with other late-game systems, the exact numbers are tuned on the live build, so treat specific stage values as a current snapshot rather than fixed global figures.
Transcendence is built around dedicated high-difficulty content and a ranking layer on top of it. Players push staged Transcendence dungeons, earn the materials those dungeons drop, and feed them into the highest tiers of progression. Ranking is class-based, so players compete and are measured within their own class rather than across the whole roster, which keeps the ladder meaningful for every role.
Transcendence dungeons are the practical ceiling for solo and small-group endgame. They use staged progression that gates later bosses behind clearing earlier ones, and they reward top-tier gear. Current examples include:
Content | Role |
|---|---|
Four-stage expedition added in Season 3; the primary source of Fragment: Yustiel's Trace | |
Submerged Life Temple | Staged Transcendence dungeon that gates further bosses behind earlier clears |
Mirror of Red Yearning | A multi-stage Transcendence dungeon on the live build; English coverage has used several translated names, so defer to the in-game UI |
The Mirror dungeon's English name has appeared in coverage under more than one translation of the same Korean title, and its per-stage entry item-levels are live-build values. Treat the name and the stage gates as provisional until the global English client confirms them.
Transcendence content is the main supply of the materials that drive top-tier upgrades, including Fragment: Yustiel's Trace for the Daevanian Yustiel accessory paths and high-grade weapon-progression currencies such as the Mysterious Ode tier. Because these feed both the accessory track and the weapon track, players generally run Transcendence content on a weekly cadence to keep both progressing together.
Transcendence connects several existing systems:
Above the Daevanion Board: once a character has built out the talent board, Transcendence is the next layer of growth.
Fed by dungeons: Phantom Corridor and other Transcendence dungeons supply the materials.
Tied to gear: Gear and Progression covers how the rewards turn into equipment power, and Succession Crafting preserves that investment when stepping up a tier.
Treat Transcendence as a weekly loop. The bonus rewards on repeated clears are the most efficient source of top-tier materials.
Balance the weapon track and the accessory track. Chasing only one often leaves you gated at the other when you reach the next stage.
Defer to the in-game UI for stage item-levels and dungeon names. The live build re-tunes these and the global English client may use different wording.
