Leveling from 1 to 45 in AION 2 can feel overwhelming if you’re jumping in blind—but it doesn’t have to be. Once you understand how quests work, which content actually matters, and how gearing and skills scale during progression, the entire journey becomes smoother, faster, and way more enjoyable.
In this complete Aion 2 leveling guide, we break down the fastest methods to level, the gear and skill systems you must understand, and the early-game mechanics that give your character massive power spikes. If your goal is to hit level 45 fast, this guide will get you there.
How to Level Up Fast in Aion 2
AION 2 gives you multiple content types during the early game. Each one plays a different role in your leveling speed and overall power.
1. Yellow Quests (Main Story Quest – MSQ)
Your number one source of EXP. If you want the fastest path to level 45, follow the Main Story Quest chain from start to finish. These quests offer the largest EXP rewards and will naturally guide you through every major zone in the game.
But be warned: Main story bosses hit hard—especially if you’re undergeared or have high ping. Be prepared to learn boss patterns, use consumables, and upgrade your weapon frequently.
2. Green Quests (Side Story Quests)
Optional—but extremely valuable. Even though green quests don’t offer massive EXP, they scale with your level, making them safe to complete at any time. They also reward essential progression materials:
Side Quest Rewards
✓ Better gear
✓ Daevanion Points
✓ Enhancement Stones
If a story boss feels too hard, do a few green quests to power up before returning.
3. “?” Icons on the Map
These are some of your most important leveling tools.
• Sealed Dungeons
Short, level-scaling instanced dungeons.
Primary rewards: Daevanion Points (used for skill upgrades).
You MUST complete them by level 45 anyway, so doing them while leveling is extremely efficient.
• Strongholds / Forts
Small instance areas with enemies, objectives, and chests.
Rewards include:
• Gear
• Daevanion points
• Upgrade materials
Both Sealed Dungeons and Strongholds speed up your power growth dramatically.
4. Should You Do Side Content While Leveling?
Yes—absolutely. While side content doesn’t give huge EXP, it gives the one currency that truly matters: Daevanion Points. You need these to unlock major skill upgrades (Lv 12 / Lv 16), which dramatically increase your damage and survivability. If you skip side content, your character will feel weak—even at level 45.
How to Upgrade Gear in Aion 2
AION 2 constantly gives you new gear, but upgrading it properly is what keeps you strong.
1. Equipping New Gear
A green upward arrow means the item is stronger.
Just double-click to equip. Easy.
2. Enhancing Gear (Press N)
Use enhancement stones to increase gear stats.
Good news: you cannot waste enhancement stones in Aion 2.
3. Extraction = Refund System
When you extract gear:
• You get all enhancement stones back
• You only lose a small amount of Aion 2 Kinah (currency)
• Early-game enhancement costs are cheap
This means you should freely enhance your leveling gear.
4. Which Gear Should You Upgrade First?
Upgrade priority:
• Weapon – massive DPS increase
• Armor – small defensive boost
• Belt & Amulet – use special materials; not important yet
Extra Tip: Extract all unused drops → free enhancement stones → keep your weapon leveled to match the content.
Best Build Setup for Leveling in Aion 2
Every class has:
• 11 Basic Skills
• 8 Usable Slots (4 left, 4 right)
Many skills are paired. Example: Freeze → Frost Burst (triggered automatically when the enemy is frozen)
MP System Basics
• Left-click attacks restore MP
• Most skills consume MP
• Keep your rotations balanced so you don’t run dry in long fights
Skill Leveling: The Breakpoints That Matter Most
Skills gain special bonuses at:
• Level 8
• Level 12
• Level 16
These effects include:
• Cast while moving
• Bonus damage
• Self-healing
• Faster casting
• Improved AoE
Example (Sorcerer)
Firestorm Lv 8: cast while moving → MUST HAVE
Blaze: heals you for 30% of damage dealt → huge survivability boost
You can reset skill points freely at any time, so feel free to experiment.
Daevanion System – Your Biggest Early-Game Power Spike
The Daevanion system is one of the most important parts of leveling in Aion 2.
What Is Daevanion?
A series of stat and skill upgrade trees. While leveling, you have access to 4 Basic Daevanion Trees.
At level 45, you unlock:
• PvE tree
• PvP tree
Every node gives:
• HP
• Defense
• Damage
• Crit
• Resistances
• Skill level boosts
Blue Glyph → boosts active skills
Green Glyph → boosts passive skills
Why Daevanion Is Mandatory While Leveling
Skills require Daevanion points to reach:
• Level 12 → unlock 2nd effect
• Level 16 → unlock 3rd effect
Without Daevanion points, you will never reach these breakpoints. This is why you should do Sealed Dungeons, Strongholds, and Side Quests while leveling. They reward the Daevanion points needed to keep your damage and survivability competitive.
By level 45, you should have around:
✓ 400 Daevanion Points
This translates into a massive boost in:
• Attack
• HP
• Defense
• Skill levels
• Boss fight consistency
Aion 2 Boss Fights – Tips & Tricks for Smooth Progression
Bosses in AION 2 are reactive and punishing. Here’s how to handle them effectively.
1. Dodge Roll = Full I-Frame
Your dodge roll gives complete invulnerability if timed correctly.
High ping?
Roll slightly earlier than the animation suggests.
2. Watch Out for Animation Lock
If you are mid-skill:
• You can’t move
• You can’t dodge
• You can’t cancel
This is why skills like Firestorm Lv 8 (cast while moving) are game-changing. They prevent you from getting locked in place before a big attack.
3. Learn Boss Patterns (Don’t Spam Skills)
React first → attack second.
Many players die simply because they spam skills and get caught in animation lock during boss telegraphs.
4. Use 5-Minute Scrolls for Big Fights
These scrolls are incredibly strong:
• Combat Speed → shorter animations
• Movement Speed → easier dodging
• Attack buffs → faster kills
Use scrolls for:
• Main story bosses
• Hard side bosses
• Stronghold elites
• Sealed Dungeon bosses
Combat Speed scrolls in particular make fights drastically easier.
Final Thoughts:
If you follow this guide, your journey from level 1–45 will not only be fast, but also extremely smooth, with consistent upgrades, powerful skills, and easier boss fights.
