The first global test of AION 2 has ended. Reviews on Steam have been mixed, with Playtest holding a 69% positive rating. As the test progressed, player feedback also improved, with Combat, Game Progression, and Game World receiving more positive feedback.
AION 2 Advanced Access is scheduled to begin on September 30. If the goal is to reach Level 45 as quickly as possible, simply following main quest can easily lead to a situation where the level keeps up but the gear falls behind, slowing down the entire process.
This AION 2 1-45 leveling route works for both Asmodian and Elyos and can also be used when leveling an alt. Players familiar with AION 2, or those who have already gone through the progression in Korea or Taiwan versions, can further reduce the leveling time once the route becomes familiar, with a target of around 4-5 hours.
Level 1-21
Level 1-21 is one of the more time-consuming parts of the entire AION 2 leveling process, with many side quests, feathers, and seal dungeons concentrated in this stage. Once the route is familiar, it takes around 2 hours.
When first progressing through AION 2 main quest, keep an eye on Mini Map. Whenever feathers appear nearby, collect them along the way whenever possible. They can provide titles and other items needed during the early leveling process.
After entering a major city in AION 2, a group of side quests will usually appear around Level 16-17. You can normally pick up four or five quests at once, and completing around 6-7 side quests during Level 1-21 should be enough.
AION 2 side quests are not only useful for EXP. They also provide gear, accessories, and damage-related stats. Only following the main quest can easily lead to insufficient damage or gear during later boss fights. Repeated deaths also mean running back to the area again, and 30-50 minutes can quickly disappear on a single quest.
Seal Dungeons do not need to be completed on a separate trip. After opening Mini Map, if a question mark appears near main quest or side quest route, check it along the way. Completing it can also reward Aion 2 kinah.
During Level 1-21, newly obtained weapons and accessories should be replaced in time. If deaths become frequent while progressing through main quest, check whether better weapons or accessories are available to chase.
Level 21-45
After reaching Level 21 in AION 2, leveling should mainly focus on main quest. There is no need to clear every side quest just for EXP at this stage, as many of them are not worth the extra time.
Around level 32, some side quest rewards become more generous, but there's no need to go out of your way for them. Just complete the side quests you encounter along the main quest route. Around level 32-33, adding one or two extra quests is usually enough to make up the level gap and earn some Aion 2 kinah, then continue pushing the main quest.
By Level 45, Aion 2 gear replaced along the way should have gone through another round of upgrades. Once Gear is ready, you can start preparing for the next dungeon.
Things To Know
When Aion 2 servers are crowded at launch, some quests may have competition for mobs. Certain quests require you to kill specific spawn mobs, and you must actually land hits on mob for the quest to count. Melee characters have shorter attack ranges, making these targets harder to tag in crowded areas.
If a quest area is too crowded during the early days of Aion 2, Range characters will have an easier time handling these quests. Melee players can also group up with nearby players to complete them.
During fast leveling, weapons and accessories have a higher priority. Both can provide damage stats, while armor mainly provides defensive stats. Faster clearing is more important during the leveling process, so after obtaining new gear, prioritize damage-related stats.
As main quest progresses, Main Weapon will be replaced frequently. After obtaining a new Green Weapon, dissolve the old gear and enhance the new weapon to +5. After obtaining a Blue Weapon, enhance it to +5 as well.
For Skills, prioritize Aion 2's damage skills. Left Click, Right Click, and AOE skills can be upgraded first. Whenever further upgrades are available, increase their levels as much as possible until Level 8 and unlock Specialization. Divine Points and Skill Points should also be invested in damage skills first.
Mini Map needs to be checked frequently during Aion 2 leveling process. When you encounter a Feather, Question Mark, Teleport, or Kisk, unlock it along the way whenever possible. When returning to previously explored areas, these locations can be used directly to reduce travel time.
When the distance to the quest objective is more than 600-700 meters, prioritize Teleport. At around 400-500 meters, Wings can be used directly if Wing Stamina is sufficient. When Wing Stamina is limited, pay attention to the flight cost. Learning how to use and cancel AION 2 Wings efficiently can reduce wasted time during movement.
Teleport points should also be unlocked along the route whenever possible. Use Teleport for long distances, and use Wings for shorter distances when Wing Stamina is sufficient. This can reduce unnecessary running throughout Level 1-45 process.
New weapons, accessories, titles, and other gear will constantly enter the inventory during leveling, so the inventory should be organized regularly. Pay attention to Damage and Movement Speed stats on Titles as well. Replace the current title whenever a more suitable one is obtained.
Following these methods avoids wasting time on unnecessary quests and travel while making sure the essential side quests and gear are covered during the early levels. Once the route becomes familiar, AION 2 1-45 fast leveling can save a significant amount of time, with the potential to reach Level 45 in around 4-5 hours. The same process can also be used directly when leveling an alt.
