AION 2 Patch Notes — June 24, 2026
The June 24, 2026 update rolls out the Combat Power system improvement — equalizing weapon and passive-skill Combat Power across every class — ahead of the full balance patch, which is postponed to July 1. It also tunes the Abyss Rift Zone bosses, expands the fromis_9 stage and Cube slots, and restores deleted or sold feather items. Translated from the official Korean update note.
Last updated: June 24, 2026
Content & Systems
Abyss Rift Zone
- The spawn locations and number of boss monsters appearing in each phase are adjusted.
- Boss monster HP is increased.
- You can now also earn points from PvP fought near a boss monster (within a 100m radius).
Class Changes
Balance direction (Common)
A “Combat Power system improvement,” aimed at closing the combat-power gap between classes, is applied first in this week's regular maintenance. Further class-balance adjustments will follow based on the play data that accumulates from it.
To minimize the impact on the ranking challenges currently in progress, the balance patch originally scheduled for June 24 has been moved to July 1.
Common (공통)
| Skill | Change |
|---|---|
| Weapon Combat Power | Improved so each class's weapon contributes the same Combat Power value. |
| Passive Skills | Improved so the Combat Power gained from passive skills is reflected equally across all classes. |

- Fixed so that no server-wide notification message appears when a “Bracelet of Eroded Afterimage” is successfully crafted.
- Abyss Rift Zone boss “Distorted Vice-Captain Arunt”: fixed an issue where it repeated only certain skills.

Recovery & Restoration

Frequently asked questions
Was there a class balance patch on June 24?
Not the full one. Only the “Combat Power system improvement” — which makes each class's weapon and passive skills contribute the same Combat Power value — went live this week. The full balance patch was postponed to July 1 to avoid disrupting the ranking challenges in progress.
What changed in the Abyss Rift Zone?
Boss spawn locations and counts per phase were adjusted, boss HP was increased, and PvP fought within 100m of a boss now also earns points. Two bosses (Distorted Vice-Captain Arunt and Distorted Kabanda) were fixed so they no longer repeat only certain skills, and the weekly Abyss Rift Zone season mission was removed.
Were deleted feather items restored?
Yes. Feather items deleted before the wing-enhancement system update have been restored; for items sold to an NPC shop, the Kinah is reclaimed and the items are then restored.
