AION 2 Gear

A decision-first reference for upgrades, acquisition and current content gates.

01 / UPGRADE ORDER

Read the gate before the item

In AION 2, an item-level requirement determines whether a dungeon is available, but an upgrade decision is wider than that number. Ask which activity you are trying to enter, which equipment effects you already invested in, and whether a Transfer path is available. NC introduced Transfer in Season 2 to move Amplifier enhancement levels, upgrade stages and Soul Binding effects to a new item; the announcement states an item can be transferred up to six times.

Chapter 1 added Pendant equipment plus Hero-grade Amulets and Belts. It also raised the character cap to 50. These additions make an older one-size-fits-all gear checklist unreliable.

02 / SYSTEMS

What each system changes

TRANSFER

Preserve invested progress

Season 2 named Amplifier levels, upgrade stages and Soul Binding effects as transferable. Read the current destination restrictions before committing.

TRANSFER CRAFTING

Make specific high-grade gear

NC said Genesis/Nemesis Dragon Lord Weapon and Guard could be obtained only through Transfer Crafting in its May update.

WINGS

Enhance another slot

The Wings Enhance System introduced in May allows wing enhancement for additional stats; no universal priority is inferred.

ABYSS EQUIPMENT

Separate the PvP source

NC added Archon Praetorian equipment through the Abyss shop and Transfer Crafting alongside changes to Middle Reshanta.
