AION 2 Patch Notes — October 7, 2026

A quality-of-life week. Sorcerer Fire Wall and Cold Storm bonus damage now works at any height, and attacks while airborne land reliably. Going over the gear limit inside Reshanta Surface now kills you on the spot, the Abyss is rematched, and large fights get an optimization pass. Higher-grade refining stones drop more often in Chalice of Muspel and Snowfield of Sorrow, Auto-Loot Tickets get cheaper with a Kina refund, Hidden Cube keys give 1,000 Soul Crystals instead of 100 (backdated), and most presets go from 3 to 5. The Resurrection Flare event sells extra Resurrection Spiritstones until October 21, and the Hangawi boost-up ends. Translated from the official Korean update note.

Last updated: October 6, 2026

Achievements

You can now see straight from a field named monster's icon on the world map whether you have completed its kill achievement.

  • Achievement not completed: the boss icon shows a kill-achievement badge.
  • Achievement completed, or the monster has no achievement: no badge is shown.

Nameplate

  • A new option hides your own character's nameplate.
  • Turn it on or off under [Settings] > [Info Display] > [General] > [Nameplate] > [Show My Nameplate].

Class changes

All classes: fixed attacks on a target while airborne sometimes failing to land even when the target was within range.
