Aion 2 Items

In Aion 2, the pet system is not only part of the game's collection and display gameplay, but also closely related to character growth and combat power enhancement. From pet collection and mount usage to attribute bonuses, players can gradually improve their pet development system by continuously unlocking and raising different pets.

For players who want to deeply experience the game's content, understanding how the pet system works and how to effectively utilize related resources will be an indispensable part of their adventure.

How to Obtain Pets?

In Aion 2, there are various and unique ways to obtain pets. The most basic way is to collect Pet Souls by defeating specific monsters in the open world.

When you defeat a monster, there is a chance to obtain its soul. Accumulating 5 souls will unlock the corresponding pet. After unlocking, the pet can not only be used for visual display, but also directly as a mount, allowing you to ride it to travel in towns and the wild.

If you wish to acquire pets faster, you can do so through the following methods:

• Completing All Geared Up Episode quest will allow you to choose one of three initial pets as a reward;
• Unlock pets at Black Cloud Merchant using Aion 2 gold;
• Obtain them through pet selection chests, event rewards, etc.

The game currently features over 200 collectible pets, scattered throughout the world, ranging from adorable little creatures to massive beasts. Each pet belongs to one of five races: Fera, Cogni, Natura, Varian, and Special, with different races providing different types of attribute bonuses.

Owned Effects Stacking Mechanism

The core value of pets lies not only in their riding appearance but also in the unique owned effects each pet provides.

These are permanent passive attribute bonuses, and importantly, you don't need to constantly equip a specific pet to gain its owned effects. Once a pet is unlocked, its attribute bonuses are permanently active and stack with the owned effects of all other pets.

This means that collecting a wide variety of pets is itself a form of character development. Each pet's owned effects may seem small, such as 1 point of Mount Ground Move Speed ​​or 3 points of Stamina, but when the effects of dozens or even hundreds of pets are stacked together, the overall boost to a character's combat power is considerable.

In the global version, the pet level cap is 3: collect 5 souls to unlock level 1, collect an additional 25 souls to reach level 2, and collect another 75 souls to reach level 3.

A total of 100 souls are needed to level up from level 1 to level 3. Each level up unlocks a new owned effect; for example, a Cogni pet might provide 10 HP at level 1, an additional 1 critical hit at level 2, and an additional 1 might and 2 critical hits at level 3.

Genus Insight Cultivation System

Genus Insight is the most in-depth development mechanism in Aion 2 pet system. Each of the five races has its own independent Insight level, and players gain Genus Insight experience points by collecting pets of specific races and increasing their Insight level.

Unlocking a new pet grants 500 Genus Insight experience points. Reaching pet Insight levels 2 and 3 each grants 250 experience points.

As Genus Insight levels increase, new attribute slots are unlocked. Players can use Analysis function to roll attribute effects. Genus Insight has a maximum level of 10, unlocking one slot per level, resulting in a total of 10 attribute bonuses.

Regarding attribute quality, different levels unlock attributes of varying rarities. Level 1 only grants Common quality attributes, level 4 introduces a chance of Epic quality, level 7 unlocks Unique, and level 9 unlocks Heroic quality attributes - the highest quality attribute bonus in the game.

When all five types of Genus Insight reach level 10, the Unbound by Genus title is unlocked, providing a 4.5% PvE damage bonus, a 34 attack bonus, and a 68 critical strike bonus.

Analysis Strategy

As mentioned above, Genus Insight's Analysis function can roll for attributes, but the results are random and cost Soul Crystals and Kinah. Therefore, mastering the correct Analysis strategy is especially important for every player in the early stages when resources are limited.

A key strategy is: don't rush to lock attributes when your Genus Insight level is low. This is because early Analysis only yields low-quality attributes, and locking these attributes is a waste of resources.

A wiser approach is to try your luck with free batch Analysis at lower levels, saving the locking strategy until Genus Insight reaches level 9. Only at level 9 do you have a chance to obtain heroic quality attributes. Many players invest heavily in locking epic or unique attributes early on, but as the level increases, these attributes are eventually replaced by heroic quality, resulting in a wasted investment.

Furthermore, Genus Insight Analysis supports preset schemes. Players can try different attribute combinations using different presets during leveling, and then concentrate resources on optimizing the main preset once the target level is reached.

Summary

Aion 2's pet system is far more than simply collecting pets to use as mounts. From basic soul collection to in-depth attribute development through Genus Insight, the entire system progresses layer by layer, providing players with a wealth of long-term development goals.

The permanent stacking mechanism of Owned Effects encourages players to collect extensively, while Genus Insight's analysis and locking strategies require players to make wise decisions in resource allocation. As you collect more and more pets, you'll find that your character's overall combat power has significantly improved without you even realizing it.

It has been four days since the global launch of Aion 2. If you have been progressing quickly, or started playing during the early access period, you have likely already reached, or are on the verge of reaching, the level cap of 45.

However, reaching the level cap doesn't mean you are ready for the endgame. To achieve that goal, you need to ensure your total item level (or rating) is at least 1,400.

So, how can you achieve this as quickly as possible without wasting resources? Here is a guide to help you.

Plan ahead while leveling

Rapidly increasing your Aion 2 item level isn't something you should wait to do until you hit the level cap; you can start preparing during the leveling process itself.

Aion 2 offers four free character slots. You should utilize all of them from the start by creating characters of four different classes and leveling each of them to the crucial milestone of Level 22.

Once a character reaches Level 22 and completes Ascendants objective via the main storyline, they unlock Expedition and begin passively generating Odyle Energy.

Even if you temporarily stop playing some of these characters, the energy will continue to accumulate automatically over time. This energy is essential for clearing dungeons and opening high-yield loot chests during the endgame phase.

As you level up these four characters, you will likely discover which one suits you best, allowing you to focus your efforts on progressing that specific character.

Basic boosting after reaching Level 45

Once your Aion 2 character hits Level 45 cap, you will unlock new content, including combat modes like Transcendence Dungeons and Nightmare. However, we advise against rushing into these challenges immediately; instead, you should focus on strengthening your character first.

First, by continuing with specific main story quests after reaching Level 45, you are guaranteed to obtain two high-quality Spiritforged weapons suited to your class.

If you proceed with subsequent quests, you can also acquire a Spiritforged defensive gear piece for your off-hand.

Possessing both of these gear pieces is crucial, as they provide a massive boost to your combat power and will likely serve you well for a long time. If possible, it is best to upgrade them to Level 10 immediately after unlocking them.

Next, ensure you complete Aion 2 Service Quests daily; you can complete up to five of these each day.

Note that since rewards are randomized, if your primary goal is to increase your ilvl, you should prioritize quests that offer Enhancement Stones. Other high-priority rewards include Odyle Energy, various keys and tickets, and Soul Crystals.

How to quickly increase your ilvl?

Once you have completed the preliminary steps mentioned above, you can begin the more formal process of raising your ilvl in Aion 2 (targeting the cap of around 1400).

Use your stockpiled consumables

In the early stages, you will likely accumulate significant resources through quests and world exploration. It is easy to overlook certain consumables piling up in your inventory, such as Philosopher's Stones and Daevanion Crystals.

Simply double-click to activate and use them; they grant you skill points and Daevanion Points. Daevanion Points are essential for developing Daevanion Board, which is a primary source for boosting your gear strength and level.

As for Skill Points, use them to upgrade your abilities to Level 8 to unlock specializations. Then, combine this with Daevanion Board to significantly boost your overall power and gear level.

It is worth noting that Aion 2 skills can generally only be leveled up to 10 through standard means; advancing beyond Level 10 requires other methods, such as Daevanion Board.

More specifically, locating a desired skill and activating its corresponding node adds extra levels to that skill, increasing its power and unlocking further specializations, while also raising your ilvl.

Equip specific gear

In addition to the two Spiritforged gear items mentioned earlier, Ascension Bracelet and Liberator Bracelet are items you will likely use for a long time before diving deep into Aion 2 endgame; therefore, it is best to unlock and upgrade them as soon as possible.

Revelation Amulet and Noble Belt are other gear items that can be obtained for free by progressing through the main storyline, and they remain viable for continued use and upgrading.

It is worth noting that upgrading these two Aion 2 items does not require standard enhancement materials; instead, you use Enhance Scrolls obtained by exploring the openworld.

To acquire enough scrolls, you need to collect Empyrean Trace Feathers and turn them in at Obelisks, or clear out strongholds; this allows you to upgrade your amulet and belt for free.

Furthermore, once they reach Level 10, you can transform them to increase their quality, making it easy to obtain top-tier Aion 2 gear.

Properly slotting Clash Runes

In Aion 2, you can further boost your item score and stats by equipping Clash Runes, but there are a few tips you should keep in mind when using them.

For instance, never attempt to enhance a unique rune you are currently wearing. It is best to prepare two runes enhanced to +1 as a safety net before using a third spare rune to attempt a higher enhancement level.

Since Clash Runes are not difficult to obtain, do not leave your rune slots empty; socket whatever you have and simply swap them out whenever you acquire better ones.

Participating in random events

Once your character's abilities and gear are reasonably established, you can start boosting your Aion 2 ilvl more quickly by participating in specific activities.

First are World Bosses; they are scattered across the map and have their own respawn timers, which you can view in the list.

However, the rewards for killing them are relatively limited, so it is recommended to farm them only after your strength has significantly increased and you can take them down quickly.

The second type of random event is Dimensional Invasions. You simply need to participate and contribute, and the system will award prizes based on your level of contribution.

As for Shugo Festival, it offers a wide variety of rewards, but the most valuable are Centuryroot Tokens. You can use this special currency in the festival shop to trade for Daevanion Crystals, Soul Crystals, and even Stigma Shards.

Raising your ilvl to around 1400 in Aion 2 using these strategies simply means you are ready to explore more endgame content; if you want to delve deeper, you will need to keep improving! Keep up the hard work!
