Aion 2 Asmodian Leveling Guide: Levels 25–40

The mid-game. The Dark campaign moves through the canyons, sacred trees and the Destruction Archon ruins of the Altgard region, with a story dungeon around level 37, before turning toward the final chapters at the edge of level 40. No new systems unlock here — this is where you cash in the Daevanion board and Stigmas you opened earlier and convert hideout and stronghold materials into Gear Score.

Keep the rhythm: main story for levels, hideouts for Enhance Stones and Daevanion Crystals, strongholds for belt scrolls and manastones, spending as you go. By level 40 your gear should be clearly ahead of where it was at 25.

When the story sends you into a dungeon around the mid-30s, treat it like any instance — enchant your gear and update your Daevanion board first.

Same one-time-clear hideouts, bigger payouts: 15,000 Kina, 2 Daevanion Crystals, a wing/statue material and a title every time, with the Enhance Stone count climbing into the thousands. The Altgard hideouts for this band are:

These are the last big Enhance Stone drops before the cap — clear every one you can.

Belt upgrades still come only from the garrison strongholds, and you still need one Noble Belt Enhance Scroll per belt-enchant rung. If you skipped them earlier, catch up now — the belt is a full gear slot, and leaving it at +0 is free Gear Score thrown away. Each fort also hands over 3 Lesser Manastones to socket into your gear.

Everything points at Gear Score — the sum of your equipped item levels plus enchant levels. Krao Cave Normal, the group dungeon you're building toward, needs a minimum of 1000. Keep replacing pieces with higher item-level gear and keep enchanting with your hideout Enhance Stones (weapon, then armor, then the belt via stronghold scrolls).

You likely won't hit 1000 by level 40, and that's fine — the final push happens in the 40–45 chapter. Treat 40 as the point where your set is solid and your systems are humming, ready for the last stretch.

At level 40 the Dark campaign heads into its final chapters. The Asmodian 40–45 chapter takes you to the cap, finishes the story, and gets your Gear Score to 1000 so you can enter Krao Cave Normal — the gateway to the endgame.
