Aion 2 collections: every system that gives permanent stats
NCSOFT / AION 2 official Steam screenshots
TL;DR
- Aion 2 has no single collection screen. Several systems give stats for things you own, and those stats stack on top of your gear.
- Madsin calls Genus Insight the backbone of a build.
- Wings and titles each give an owned effect for every one you have, plus a larger effect for the ones you equip.
- Closet skins add collection points to their category the first time you get them.
- Monolith feathers are worth picking up as you pass them. Your alts can sync them without collecting them again.
The systems at a glance
| System | What you collect | Permanent stats | Guide |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genus Insight | Soul Crystals from pets | Nine rerollable lines on each of five boards | Pet guide |
| Pets | Pets and their Souls | Small owned stats per pet, plus Soul Crystal milestones | Pet guide |
| Wings | Pairs of wings | An owned effect per pair, plus the equipped pair's effect | Wings guide |
| Titles | Titles from achievements | An owned effect per title, plus three equipped titles | Achievements and titles |
| Closet | Skins | Collection points per category | Closet and skins |
| Monolith | Empyrean Traces found in the world | Stats and rewards per Monolith level | See below |
The systems also feed each other. Several milestones award a title worth equipping:
| Milestone | Title |
|---|---|
| Master Genus Insight | Unbound by Genus |
| Own 25 wings | Dominator of Dimensions |
| Own over 700 skins | Empty Closet |
| Verteron or Altgard Monolith level 20 | Guardian of Verteron or Guardian of Altgard |
Where to start
Creator tip
The genus insight system is the backbone of your build.
Madsin treats Genus Insight as the first priority among these systems, so that is where your Soul Crystals go. Both aLuckyRO and Kanon warn against locking Genus lines before a board reaches level 10. The pet guide explains why.
The rest mostly fill in as you play:
| System | How it fills in |
|---|---|
| Wings | Drop in Conquest Expeditions you run anyway |
| Titles | Achievements complete as you go |
| Closet | Every new skin counts |
Equip the best three titles and the best wings you have, and keep everything else for its owned effect.
The Monolith
SywoGG covers the Monolith, which opens at level 16. There are several, such as the Verteron and Altgard Monoliths. You find feathers around the map and turn them in to raise its level, which gives stats and Hidden Cube keys. Level 20 also earns the Guardian title Madsin uses early.
Monolith feathers
Creator tip
Collecting these feathers is not an activity that you actually have to obsess about. However, sometimes they're just in your face.
You only collect them once. SywoGG says later characters can press the sync button to get the Monolith rewards without collecting the feathers again.
