AION 2 Patch Notes — May 27, 2026: Muspel's Chalice

Sanctuary

• New Sanctuary “Muspel's Chalice” is added. It has no attempt limit, but you cannot challenge it further after defeating the final boss twice. Final-boss kills and rewards are capped at 2, and rewards drop only on a final-boss kill.
• Default respawn locations are changed per zone in “Abyssal Forge” and “Erosion Purification Plant.”
• The portal that used to spawn in the “Erosion Purification Plant” start area is removed.
• Kisk placement is disabled across all areas of “Abyssal Forge” and “Erosion Purification Plant,” including boss rooms.
• In “Abyssal Forge: Rudra,” 50% of the obtainable Kinah becomes Soul-bound Kinah.

Abyss

• Chaotic Ereshranta — Lower: HP of “Spirit King Agro” and “Watcher Kaira” raised ~3×; “Guardian General Nahma” ~1.5×; the “Dimensional Core” spawned by Artifact Capture ~1.5×; and the boss-event executioners (Tamasa/Agro/Kaira) ~1.5×.
• Chaotic Ereshranta — Middle: the Artifact-Capture “Dimensional Core” ~1.5×; “Enraged Guardian General Nahma” ~1.5×; and the boss-event bosses (Dramos/Dukal/Maraka) ~1.5×.
• Four new monster-populated islands are added, each reachable via a nearby waterspout. Other players' icons are not shown on these islands, for both allies and enemies.
• New season mission: “Lawless Zone” is added to [Season – Season Mission – Abyss], granting the Oath Coin and “Potential Amplification Stone: Abyss (Unique) (Soul-bound).”
• New Abyss gear “Guardian/Archon Royal Guard Captain's Weapon/Guard” is added, available in the Abyss shop and craftable via inheritance from the existing “Elite Legion Commander Weapon” / “Legion Commander Guard.”

Field

Field named monsters and field bosses in Verteron and Altgard have their HP raised by roughly 2×–3×.

Brooch (new slot)

A new equipment slot, “Brooch,” is added. A Brooch can be obtained via crafting, or by material-converting an Equipment Change Ticket obtained from the new Sanctuary “Muspel's Chalice” plus Kinah.

New Equipment

• New Draconic crafted gear: blueprints for “Azure Dragon King / Dragon-Slayer King” weapon/guard, an inheritance path from “Radiant Resp­onse Dragon King / Radiant Machine Dragon King” into them, and conversion of “Lava Heart” weapon/guard into their crafting materials.
• New Abyss gear: “Guardian/Archon Royal Guard Captain” weapon/guard and “Elite Guardian/Archon Royal Guard Captain” weapons added to the Abyss shop.

Soul Binding

“Philosopher's Stone: Authority (Soul-bound)” is added. It can be material-converted from 10× “Philosopher's Stone: Revelation (Soul-bound).”

Inheritance Craft

• Blueprint to inherit “Azure Dragon King / Dragon-Slayer King” gear into the “Radiant Azure Dragon King / Dragon-Slayer King” gear.
• Blueprints to inherit lower Abyss gear into higher Abyss gear using Abyss Points and Medals (Decurion → Centurion → Tribune; Legion Commander → Elite Legion Commander → Royal Guard Captain).
• Blueprint to inherit Heroic weapons from a lower Sanctuary into a higher Sanctuary's Heroic weapon using Equipment Change Tickets (Rudra → Eroded Ruler → Lava Heart).

Wings

• Each wing can now gain additional held effects through enhancement, up to +10.
• Wings are enhanced using Kinah + Attunement Stone (Unique) + enhancement stones.
• All wing feathers obtainable from Expeditions can be converted into “enhancement stones” or “Soul Crystals,” so you can enhance using stones instead of feathers (since feather counts vary by player).

Other systems

• Shugo Festa: fixed the entrance Shugo and wagon positions intermittently swapping during “Protect the Shugo Merchant,” and raised the grade (and HP/combat stats) of its monsters.
• Dimensional Invasion: raised the grade and combat stats of monsters in “Britra's Raid,” “Spirit Assault,” and “Cursed Blade.”
• Brokerage/World Brokerage: a Brooch tab is added under accessory slots in recommended gear and the sale-list accessory category.
• Expedition/Transcendence/Sanctuary: a kick-vote feature is added — when immediate kick is blocked after a mid-boss is killed and the party has 3+ members, leaders can start a vote (parties need unanimous yes; forces need a majority); the target is removed immediately on success.
• Customization: a “current appearance” button is added to outfit preview, defaulting to your current appearance on entry (underwear during character creation).
• Item recovery: items mistakenly sold to an NPC shop within the last 3 days can be recovered (up to 50 entries kept; one recovery count per request; per-character; time-limited items excluded; recovered to your cube; count resets each Jan 1).
• Legion: item level / combat power is added to member info, with quick info/invite/friend actions, login alerts in chat, and return-to-agit on dungeon exit.

Season Missions (Server – Weekly)

Skill Macro

• Changed from a specific-skill selection method to a quick-slot designation method, so you can use the desired quick slots in order.

• A teleport loading-screen color option is added under [Settings] > [Graphics] > [Other Presentation] > [Teleport Color] (Dark = black screen, Bright = white screen).

• HUD: the matching popup, scoreboard and kill-log of Solo/Co-op Arena and Battlefield now display above the minimap.
• Daeva Pass: shows current subscription state and remaining subscribable count for account/server-limited passes, even when another character used up the count.

• Expedition “Hall of Illusion” boss Nathara: fixed the summoned prism's resonance skill not being dodgeable via Emergency Evasion.
• Expedition “Vakron Sky Island” boss Tamon: fixed its projectile being avoidable by jumping.
• Fixed several display/position issues: item validity-period location, HUD buff/debuff icon scaling, rear-markers pointing the wrong way before combat, and the Abyss rank-icon nameplate option moving to the Graphics menu.
• Material conversion/crafting: material auto-registration priority changed to “lower enhancement first, then untradeable,” and the effect-bearing-gear popup checkbox now defaults to unchecked.
• Pantheon: fixed presets not switching with the set, removed the deco-cabinet “list view,” and disabled Guardian General transformation in some outer Altgard areas.

Reclaim & restore

During the reclaim of duplicate “Hero's Invitation” Daeva Pass rewards from April 22, any remaining amount not previously reclaimed due to insufficient quantity is now additionally reclaimed.
