AION 2 Beginner Tips and Recommendations
Before starting AION 2, decide where to play, how to configure controls and which resources to preserve. These tips prevent the most expensive early mistakes.
13 tips before you begin
- Choose the same server and faction as your friends.
- Buy a Founder’s Pack only after evaluating its contents; early access and bonuses cannot replace game knowledge.
- Configure dodge, targeting, automatic extraction and valuable-item locking immediately.
- Avoid major market purchases during the opening hours while prices are unstable.
- Defeat convenient monsters along your route when they provide useful collection fragments or materials.
- Do not spend rare materials on temporary gear, and check every preset before conversion.
- Preserve Kina for required upgrades and consumables.
- Complete regional quests located near the main story route.
- Level gathering from the first zones.
- Do not buy a battle pass automatically; review rewards and the remaining season first.
- Join an active Legion for easier group PvE, world bosses and PvP.
- Carry flight-restoring or extending consumables when they become available.
- Create separate settings and presets for solo play, parties and mass battles.

Settings worth checking
For mass battles, reduce other players’ effects until dangerous zones and your own skills remain clear. Enable protection for valuable items, tune targeting priority and bind dodge to a comfortable key.
Automation saves time but still needs supervision. Confirm which items are eligible for extraction or conversion before starting a bulk action.
Avoid spending everything on day one
Launch is the easiest time to overpay for temporary power. Check upcoming story rewards first, then compare the cost of enhancing and replacing an item. Kina is most valuable when it unlocks lasting progress rather than a short-lived increase.

Do paying players receive an advantage?
Paid offers provide convenience and additional items. Judge their actual impact from the live global store rather than assumptions based on another regional version.
