Aion 2 daily and weekly checklist
NCSOFT / AION 2 official Steam screenshots
TL;DR
- Daily: five duty quests on your main. They are the only true daily, and the game limits them per server.
- Keep Odyle Energy, Nightmare tickets and Shugo Festival keys from capping. Each recharges on its own.
- Weekly: three Ascension Trial runs on every character, the daily dungeon on your main, and the weekly Odyle Energy crafts in Substance Morph.
- Buy the weekly Command contracts. You can stack them and do them later.
- Score-based content (Ascension Trial, daily dungeon, Nightmare) is best done late in the week, when you are strongest.
Main or every character?
Some limits are shared by every character on your server and some belong to each character. The game data marks which:
| Activity | Limit in the data | Shared or per character |
|---|---|---|
| Duty quests | 5 completions a day | Server: main only |
| Odyle Energy | +15 every 3 hours, stores 560 (840 with a subscription) | Per character |
| Nightmare tickets | +2 a day, stores 14 | Per character |
| Shugo Festival reward keys | +3 a day, stores 12 (21 with a subscription) | Server: main only |
| Dimensional Invasion reward keys | +1 a day, stores 7 | Server: main only |
| Ascension Trial | 3 entries a week | Per character |
| Daily dungeon (Unknown Fissure) | 14 entries a week | Server: main only |
| Transcendence rewards | +2 a day, stores 4 per dungeon | Per character |
| Odyle Energy craft | 4 a week | Per character |
| Odyle Energy craft | 16 a week | Account |
Weekly limits reset on Wednesday in the data. The timers page shows the reset times.
Grobs gives Shugo Festival keys as 2 a day with a store of 14. The data has 3 a day and 12, and Madsin also expects 3 a day.
Every day
- Five duty quests on your main
- Odyle Energy below its cap on every character
- Nightmare tickets below their cap
- Shugo Festival keys below their cap
- Spacetime Rift, field bosses and supply requests if you are online
Duty quests
Open the Journal and the Duty tab. Duties unlock at level 45. They send you into the open world to kill a boss or a few monsters, and take a minute or two each.
Creator tip
You can do every day five of those, but only once per server.
Each duty has a guaranteed reward plus random extras, and you pick before you go. Creators pick these extras:
| Creator | Duty rewards they pick |
|---|---|
| Grobs | Crystals of any colour, Hidden Cube keys, anything Unique |
| FRESHY | Enhance Stones, pet crystals, Abyss Points, cube keys |
| Madsin | Cube keys |
Use the keys on the Hidden Cube map.
Energy and tickets
You do not have to spend these every day. You only have to avoid hitting the cap.
| Resource | What to do |
|---|---|
| Odyle Energy | Opens the reward cube at the end of an Expedition, Transcendence or the raid. Most Conquest cubes cost 40. At 120 a day, a free character caps in a little under five days |
| Nightmare tickets | Grobs and Madsin let them build up and fight in the second half of the week, once they are stronger |
| Shugo Festival keys | The festival runs every hour on the hour. Wakayashi only claims rewards when his rank lets him open three or four cards |
When you are online
| Activity | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Spacetime Rift | Every three hours | The other faction's sealed dungeons and strongholds, for Kina, Abyss Points and Enhance Stones |
| Field bosses | When one spawns | Grobs joins if he is online but does not plan his day around them |
| Supply requests | Daily and weekly | Turn-ins for Abyss Points. Grobs and Madsin skip a request when the item is too expensive; Madsin thinks Refining Stones and crafted gear are worth turning in |
Every week
- Three Ascension Trial runs on every character
- Daily dungeon entries on your main
- Odyle Energy crafts in Substance Morph: 20 on your main, 4 on each alt
- Weekly Command contracts, PvE and PvP
- Shugo Festival, Nightmare and subscriber shops
- Three Battlefield wins on every character
- Abyss corridors when your faction holds artifacts
Ascension Trial
A solo run: three rooms and a boss. The difficulty you choose sets both the reward and the gear score you need. Do your three runs on every character.
| Difficulty | Gear score in the data |
|---|---|
| Easy | 1000 |
| Normal | 1500 |
| Hard | 2000 |
| Highest | 2500 |
Daily dungeon
Despite the name, its entries are weekly. Grobs describes it as 90 seconds to kill as many monsters as possible, with rewards set by your score. The first one gives Enhance Stones. Aragon spent three entries and got enough Enhance Stones for his belt and amulet.
Creator tip
I will be doing those basically on the last day of the week every time, waiting to get as many gains as possible on my main to get as better rewards as possible.
Odyle Energy crafts
In Substance Morph, craft Odyle Energy. Each one recharges 40 energy, one Conquest cube.
| Recipe in the data | Weekly limit |
|---|---|
| 25 Odyle, 5 Fine Odyle, 1 Pure Odyle, 50,000 Kina | 4 per character, plus 16 per account |
Grobs crafts all 20 on his main and 4 on each alt.
Command contracts
Grobs buys the weekly PvE contracts from the Command Merchant in your faction's city and the PvP ones from the merchant in the Abyss. Both play like duties. You do not have to do them that week: buy them and keep them.
Shops
| Shop | What to buy |
|---|---|
| Shugo Festival | Daevanion Crystals first, then Stigma Shards (Madsin) |
| Nightmare | Stigma Shards, and save tokens for a statue (Madsin) |
| Subscriber, if you subscribe | Extra Odyle Energy, extra daily dungeon tickets, Soul Crystals for Genus (Grobs) |
Battlefield and Abyss events
Grobs does three Battlefield wins a week on every character. When your faction wins artifacts in the Artifact Siege, run the Abyss corridors for Kina and Abyss Points. The siege days are on the timers page.
The first week
Grobs's week 1 plan:
| When | What |
|---|---|
| Day 1 | Every character to level 22 so their Odyle Energy starts. Then your main to 45 and five duties |
| Next days | Duties first, then alts to 45. Then all side content on your main: story, green quests, sealed dungeons, strongholds and feathers, aiming for 1400 item level |
| Last day before reset | Vakron Sky Island once your energy is close to full, then Nightmare, Ascension Trial, the daily dungeon, the weekly crafts and the shops |
If you start a day or two before a reset, Grobs moves the Ascension Trial and daily dungeon to the top of the list so the week's entries are not lost.
