Aion 2 unlocks

The permanent spine of the launch. Permanent progression outweighs temporary leveling gear — do not sink Enhancement Stones, Kinah or rare materials into equipment the campaign will replace shortly after.

• Complete the Main Story

  The Main Story is your progression spine through the level-45 launch cap

  Reward Progression, unlocks, campaign gear
• Complete all Awakening quests and challenges

  Fill each Guardian/Awakening Gauge through Main Story, regional quests, Strongholds and Sealed Dungeons, then clear each Awakening challenge to unlock the next stage. Do not let Awakening fall far behind the story

  Reward Awakening unlocks and permanent power
• Unlock all primary regions and level-cap content

  Open your faction's regions and the content gated behind the level-45 cap

  Reward Zone access, endgame unlocks
• Complete regional quest rewards, teleport unlocks and key exploration

  Work permanent regional objectives along your route — teleport points, feather/divine-trace exploration and Monolith progress

  Reward Permanent rewards and convenience unlocks
• Claim inventory-expansion, skill-point and permanent stat rewards

  Collect the account-building rewards scattered through regional and achievement progression

  Reward Inventory space, skill points, permanent stats

Permanent first-clear content. Cross-faction entries are reached through Spacetime Rifts.

• Clear all own-faction Sealed Dungeons

  Work them in along your route — they also feed the Awakening gauge

  Reward First-clear rewards, Awakening progress
• Clear cross-faction Sealed Dungeons through Spacetime Rifts

  Use a Spacetime Rift into enemy territory, clear the enemy-region Sealed Dungeon, and extract before the access window closes

  Reward First-clear rewards
• Complete all faction-region Strongholds

  Clear your faction's Strongholds, plus required opposing-faction Strongholds where applicable

  Reward Stronghold rewards, Awakening progress

AION 2 power is spread across many systems, not one gear score — replacing one armour piece is not finishing your build. Spend accumulated permanent-progression points deliberately; do not leave large pools unspent while chasing Item Level.

• Unlock and build out your Daevanion boards

  Collect Daevanion Points from achievements, quests and exploration, complete the major boards, and prioritise useful combat stats before luxury nodes

  Reward Permanent character power
• Unlock Stigma and level your important Stigmas

  Obtain and level the Stigmas your class wants, and build separate PvE/PvP setups if needed

  Reward Active/passive combat power
• Unlock Mastery and level your core abilities

  Select class-appropriate Mastery options and level core abilities

  Reward Permanent ability scaling
• Unlock the Rune system and equip a full useful setup

  Equip a complete Rune setup, upgrade priority Runes and replace weak effects

  Reward Stat and effect bonuses

Store-bought cosmetic wings are not automatically character-power upgrades — judge wings by their stats, not their looks.

• Unlock wings and progress stronger permanent wings

  Obtain and upgrade permanent wings and wing-related systems

  Reward Flight, permanent stats
• Collect Feather objectives and progress the Monolith and Amulet systems

  Finish region-specific Feather objectives and progress the associated permanent accessory systems

  Reward Permanent accessory power
• Unlock pets, enable auto-loot and improve useful passives

  Unlock your pet, turn on auto-loot, and collect pets with useful passive benefits

  Reward Convenience and passive bonuses

Professions underpin endgame material supply.

• Unlock crafting and gathering and raise useful professions

  Unlock the crafting and gathering systems, raise useful professions and gathering efficiency, and produce important endgame materials and progression pieces

  Reward Endgame materials, crafted gear
