AION 2 Ludra Returns November 4 With Hard Mode, a Title Race, Twitch Drops and Login Rewards

In a notice titled "Ludra Awakens on November 4th" (dated October 23, 2026 on the official EN-US board), NC confirmed that Ludra returns to Atreia on November 4, 2026 "with new mechanics". This is the return date NC promised after it removed Sanctuary Raid: Ludra from the launch build. Normal mode and hard mode are both available immediately, for players at item level 2,800 (normal) and 3,000 (hard).

The Ludra Hunt event runs from November 4 after maintenance until November 24 before maintenance (CET: until November 25). The first 20 parties to kill Ludra on hard mode in each region earn a title: Conqueror of Ludra (the first party, 10 players per region), Champion of Ludra (parties 2 to 5, 40 players), and Challenger of Ludra (parties 6 to 20, 150 players). Everyone else who clears normal or hard mode during the event gets the Ludra Hunter title. The regions are Europe, NA East, NA West, South America and Asia.

Ranks 1 to 3 carry a purple decorative effect, titles are only awarded if Ludra is cleared in the event window, and NC says they will be sent no later than December 2, 23:59 PST. Clears are also recorded in the in-game Hall of Fame.

Ludra Conquest Check-In runs November 4 (06:00 PST) to November 17 (23:59 PST). It has 7 daily rewards across the 14 days, so up to 7 days can be missed: 500,000 Bound Kina, 2,000 Centuryroot Tokens, 3,000 Phantasmal Fragments, 30,000 Abyss Points, 3,000 Soul Crystals, 1,000,000 Bound Kina, and on day 7 the Lush Leaf Tiara helmet. Separately, the Odyle Energy Boost mails 2x Odyle Energy per character per day from October 28 after maintenance to November 10 before maintenance.

Daeva Bootcamp (November 4 to 17) counts dungeon clears worldwide toward milestones from 500,000 to 7,000,000 clears. Eligible are Conquest (normal and hard) Krao Cave, Draupnir, Urugugu Canyon and Vakron Sky Island, and all stages of the Transcendence dungeons Shattered Arkanis and Deus Research Base. Rewards (Instant Clear Tickets, Intermediate Training Arcana, Resurrection Stones) are mailed to all global players, no later than November 18, 23:59 PST.

Twitch Drops run November 4 to November 17 on the same schedule and top out at 14 hours of watch time: the 1-hour drop is 15 Bound Resurrection Spiritstones, and later tiers include Skin Chests, Mysterious Pet Chests, Customization and Appearance Change Vouchers, Soul Codex items, the Dotted Glasses and, at 14 hours, the Black Conical Hat helm skin. NC points to its Twitch Drops FAQ for details. For how earlier drops worked, see our launch Twitch Drops post.

The Ludra Outfit Contest (same dates) takes one in-game screenshot per player through Discord, with region, server and character name, no editing or AI. Prizes are 6,000, 3,000 and 1,000 Quna for first to third, 3,000 Quna for Community's Choice and 2 Dye Tokens for participants, mailed by November 25.
