Aion 2 Database & Tools

NCSOFT rotates the Trial: Baekron's Floating Isle closes and Fire Temple opens, entry level 50 / item level 4800, with a modular difficulty system across four categories (Time Limit, Revival Limit, Boss Enhance, PC Weaken) worth 4 to 16 total stages, paid out in a new currency, Token of Overcoming. A new buff, Battlefield Authority, replaces seven separate existing buffs on Abyss lower/mid-tier zone bosses and is always active inside the Abyss Rift Zone; those bosses' HP is raised to compensate, and PVP damage amplification now partially applies to monoliths and guards across Abyss and Domination, with boss/core HP raised there too. Soul Engraving gets an auto-tune button that repeats tuning automatically toward a chosen target option. Two full Chuseok (Korean harvest festival) events open: a 28-day attendance calendar and a two-week Full Moon Merchant event with its own attendance track, season mission, and race-specific NPC currency shops, plus a 2× reward boost-up in four Expedition and two Transcendence dungeons and a new tradeable event currency. Class changes are mostly tooltip fixes across six classes; the one real change is Gladiator's Crushing Charge now firing in the direction of the key held. New cash-shop cosmetics, a dozen QoL and bug fixes, and a compensation cube for last week's Superior Manastone/Soulstone price cut round out the note.

A tuning week with no new content and eight of nine classes touched. Templar's Pummel ▶ Judgment and Assassin's Savage Roar ▶ Heart Gore animation cancels get a longer cancel delay because they were being run with mouse macros; the compensation is +10% PVE damage on the surrounding skills (Shield Smite +20%), Punishing Strike's Spec 5 becomes bonus damage, and Noble Armor and Guardian Blessing drop from a 5-minute to a 2-minute cycle. Every Ranger attack skill now carries an element — wind on 22 skills, earth on 4, fire on 3 — and Sorcerer's Fire Mark goes from a 20% chance to 100%, with Blaze no longer consuming it. Gladiator and Brawler lose the use of their leap and dash skills while rooted; Cleric's Radiant Recovery Spec 2 becomes +1 consecutive cast. Soul Crystals get cheaper from three sides at once: 500 Kina and a 30,000 cap at the Wind Breeze Merchants, three times as many from mission quests, and a doubled Growth Pet Chest from the daily dungeon. The Abyss 12-set PVE bonus rises 10 points on the top three ranks a week after it was re-tiered, [True] Praetorian Captain weapons and guards arrive, tradeable Abyss Potential Stones drop from Abyss monsters, Domination monolith scoring is raised, and Easy Snowfield of Sorrow bosses lose 10% HP alongside twelve fixes to the raid. A second Deva Pass, Abyssal Invitation, runs to the same October 6/7 dates as last week's at half the price, with 40 levels and a 12,000 weekly XP cap.

A new Sanctuary, Anguish Snowfield, arrives in three difficulties, and its Hard mode gets the first server-wide Hall of Fame the game has had: first, second and third kill are recorded permanently with class, Combat Power, item level and clear time. A new equipment slot, the Seal, is added — the first since launch — made by crafting or by converting the Sanctuary's Gear Change Vouchers with Kina. The [True] Genesis and Nemesis Dragon Lord weapons and guards open as a craft and as a Transfer target for the Splendent line. Spacetime Rift Domination gets its first balance pass one week after launch: stronghold groups drop from five to four, a battle runs 15 minutes instead of 25, flight-power cost falls 50% while you take part, repeat kills on the same player stop paying contribution, and assist contribution is trimmed. The seven Wrathful Draconic materials are redistributed — eight dungeons now drop only the Bound form, four dungeons carry all seven in both Bound and tradeable form, and Chalice of Muspel carries all seven Bound. Abyss Rift Zone bosses are stronger, eight of them go invincible for 25 seconds twice per fight, and there are fewer of them for a larger Rift Bundle. Also: a commendation system after every final boss, Streamer Mode, world ground markers, Transfer materials gaining an enchant-level requirement, and an Abyss set-effect table that removes PVE damage amplification from the lower ranks outright.
