Aion 2 Builds

Tale of two worlds

Factions, markets, and named expeditions.

Only mechanisms that change how you play with other people, or how a build will age. Housing, stigma numbers, and life skills stay fog.

Sun side

Elyos

Named on the official Tale of Two Worlds teaser. The Early Access letter says Elyos and Asmodians are separate, and meet in the Abyss for PvP.

Moon side

Asmodians

The other half of the same letter. During Early Access, Abyss matchmaking is between Early Access servers only. After launch, matching uses how far and how strong each server is.

Two markets

Server Market: local to a world, uses Kina, available from Early Access. Cross-Server Market: regional, not at EA or launch start; NC says it opens later when participating servers are at a similar stage.

Dungeon parties during Early Access match across Early Access servers in a geographical region. Server transfers are promised; price and date are not published.

Four named expeditions

Global teaser · up to 4 players · not a drop table
