AION 2: Getting Started

This hub is the starting point for AION 2 on the Global servers, NCSOFT's free-to-play MMORPG on Steam and PURPLE, launched on 5 October 2026 for Windows PCs. It is set 200 years after the first game and is not a remaster: zones, systems and even the stat names are new. You choose a region, then a faction, Elyos or Asmodian, then a server, and each server holds one faction only. Leveling runs from Poeta or Ishalgen into Verteron or Altgard and stops at the Season 1 cap of 45. Along the way you unlock wings around level 5–6, a mount and crafting around 10, Daevanion at 12, and Stigmas, Expeditions and Odyle Energy at 22. Fast travel uses Kibelisks, and there are eight classes, from the Gladiator to the Chanter.

Three guides cover the first steps. The Kinah farming guide for beginners explains bound and tradeable Kinah, why the Market waits for level 45 and Special Quai Membership, and what is worth keeping. The best graphics settings for FPS gets the client running smoothly, from the Very Low preset upward, and the AionBot first run setup guide is for players curious about the bot. The first weeks on a new world, with routes and early money, are in the fresh server hub.

AionBot has six sections, Leveling, Grind, Gathering, Expeditions, Combat and Settings, and a first evening needs only one of them plus a quick look at Combat. Create the token with Create token, set up one section, save it with Save, press Start, and watch the counters such as XP / h or Kinah / h before you change anything. Know the risk before you start: automation breaks NCSOFT's rules for AION 2, the game runs its own anti-cheat, NCGuard, and NC bans accounts for it, as the October 2026 ban waves showed, so never bot on an account you cannot afford to lose. Long sessions played by hand are a different matter: NC says long grinding on its own should not trigger penalties.
