AION 2 Patch Notes — July 22, 2026

The July 22 pass is a defense-and-CC rebalance: block-stance specs are reworked, charge-skill stun chances drop, survival-skill durations shorten across every class that has one, max-HP buffs become undispellable, and life-steal goes single-target. The Brawler gets the largest kit rework. Skill names are mapped through the game data.

An improvement pass on the Gladiator's skill-chaining mechanism is planned — the schedule will be announced in a future update note.

Transparent Map

A new 'Transparent Map' is added — a map feature that overlays the current zone's terrain outline and walkable paths semi-transparently on top of the game screen. Unlike the minimap it doesn't block your view, letting you see the roads and key information around your character at a glance while moving.

• Displayed information: the zone's terrain outline and movement paths centered on your current position, with key points shown as markers — quests, NPCs (shop / crafting / warehouse), travel points (Kibelisks, Rifts of Time and Space, flight circles), dungeon entrances, field bosses, and Empyrean Lord's Traces.
• Hovering a marker shows a tooltip with the target's name, altitude and remaining distance. Party / force member positions are also shown on the Transparent Map.
• Available zones: major territories and instanced content such as sealed dungeons, quest dungeons and party dungeons.

Shop

• 'Stargem Song Wings (Soul-bound)' (별보석 노래의 날개 — name provisional) is added to Chapter 1 of the [Subscription-Pass Shop].
• During the server-transfer period, some items move from [Shop – Sand Breeze Trading – Special] to [Material Conversion – Special – Sand Breeze Trading]: 'Odyle Energy (Soul-bound)', 'Unknown Rift Challenge Ticket (Soul-bound)', 'Instant Complete: Daily Dungeon (Soul-bound)' and 'Instant Complete: Nightmare (Soul-bound)'.

The first Server Transfer service opens. Sold under [In-game Shop] → [Server Transfer] from July 22 (after regular maintenance) to July 28, purchasable daily between 20:00 and 24:00 KST.

Price example: moving 2 characters costs 1,400 Quna — but if the destination server's free slots are all locked, 2 slot expansions are added for a total of 3,400 Quna.

Rules & conditions

• Transfers are only possible between servers of the same faction, are limited to once per account, and go from one server to one server. There is no limit on how many characters you move in that one transfer.
• Daily at 20:00 each server's inbound/outbound capacity updates; if your server's outbound or the destination's inbound is full, the transfer is unavailable.
• Character requirements: level 45+, standing in a town (not in the Abyss, a Rift of Time and Space, or a dungeon), not in a legion or with a pending legion application, and no mission [duty] quest in progress.
• No unclaimed currency/items anywhere: nothing listed or unsettled on the brokerage, nothing unclaimed in the shop storage, and no unread mail in the transferring character's mailbox.

What transfers

• Almost everything moves with you and merges with the destination server: characters, Quna/mileage, Abyss points, membership and membership passes, Daeva Pass (character) progress, titles, achievements, wardrobe, wings, pets, divine stones, Pantheon, Arcana, Monolith, Empyrean Lord's Traces, season missions and season ranking points, skills/Stigmas, quests, crafting and gathering records, friend lists and more. See the official note for the full transfer table.
• Kinah only transfers from the character cube inventory and character warehouse — Kinah in the server warehouse does NOT transfer. Server-warehouse items don't transfer either (only the expansion record, taking the higher of the two servers), so move anything you want to keep into a transferring character's inventory first.
• Exceptions: the mail block list does not transfer; server-limited Daeva Passes and Growth Supports cannot transfer if the same one is already active on the destination server; duplicate special pets/appearances are compensated with exchange tickets ('Pet Exchange Ticket', 'Daeva Pass Shop Coin: Encore', or a 'Single-item Exchange Ticket' later).
• Your character is renamed to '@temporary-name' on arrival — you pick a new name on first login (your old name is unavailable if taken on the destination server). Racial understanding: you choose to keep either your current server's or the destination's; the origin server's is reset regardless.
• Cautions: a completed transfer application cannot be cancelled or restored; the account cannot log in while the transfer runs (at least 1 minute, longer under load); completion is notified via PURPLE push; the product may be re-sold in the same or similar form later.

Improvements

• Some training dummies placed in each town and legion azit are replaced with dummies that use attack skills — they only use skills when you are near them.
• Craft probability info: selecting the [%] button to the right of a craftable item's name opens a probability window showing your craft chance by the mastery-level difference between your current mastery and the item.

Fixes

• Abyss Rift Zone: fixed map pins being unusable, and a system message is now shown when channel redistribution auto-removes you from your party/force.
• The Abyss Battle Directive items sold by the directive merchant are now identical regardless of stronghold.
• The lava-flower monsters in Morheim's Muspel Volcanic Zone get a surface material that fits the zone.
• Trial 'Vakron Sky Island' — boss Vakron: fixed the thorn objects not appearing when the 'Thorn Bind' status lands on a jumping player; boss Tamon: fixed a skill name displaying abnormally.
• Transcendence 'Abyssal Horn Den' — boss Gargaum's 'Ambush' pattern use count changes from 2 to 1 (difficulty stages 2, 3 and 4), and the 'Roar' trait now triggers at 5 status-effect stacks (was 4).
• Expedition 'Citadel of the Fallen Daeva' — boss Basilus: fixed the Spiritmaster's spirits receiving the 'Fear' status when touching the summoned 'Fallen Daeva Guide'.
• Expedition 'Vakron Sky Island' — boss Tiye (티에, name provisional): fixed the boss direction marker misaligning during some skills.
