If you've just launched Aion 2 and feel a bit lost with all the skills, gear upgrades, side content, and all those glowing buttons screaming for attention, don't worry. This Aion 2 beginner guide is written exactly for players like you who want a smooth, confident start without wasting time or resources.
I'm going to walk you through everything you should do from level 1 to level 45 using the same strategies top players and content creators use.
You'll understand why some players level insanely fast, why others get stuck on story bosses, and how you can avoid every early-game mistake. Let's get you set up properly.

Below, we have summed up Aion 2 classes, so you can pick the most suitable one according to your needs.

The next part of this Aion 2 beginner guide is the levelling-up path. Here is the cleanest path:
|
Stage |
What You Should Focus On |
Why It Works |
|
1–30 |
Main Story Quests (yellow quests) |
Highest XP, unlocks zones, teaches systems |
|
Alongside |
Side Quests (green) |
Gear, consumables, Daevanion points |
|
Anytime |
Sealed Dungeons & Strongholds (?) |
These scale with your level, perfect for extra power |
|
30–45 |
Story + Dungeons + Region Quests |
You’ll need this power to beat tough bosses |
Side quests and sealed dungeons scale with your level. You won't "overlevel" them, so do them whenever you feel stuck in the main story.
Running dungeons while doing quests is easier when you use LDCloud's multi-instance feature — you can level multiple alts at the same time or run your own mini-party without needing other players.
You'll change gear constantly, so upgrading everything you pick up is a huge waste. Here's the correct method.

|
Item Slot |
Priority |
What to Do |
|
Weapon |
⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
Upgrade first. This gives you the biggest damage jump. |
|
Armor |
⭐⭐ |
Low defensive value early, upgrade only if needed. |
|
Accessories |
⭐⭐⭐ |
Enchant later for offence or utility. |
|
Belts & Amulets |
⭐ |
Use only when required; uses special mats. |
How Upgrading Works? Extracting an old item refunds all enhanced stones, so you never waste them. Only Kinah is lost — so avoid over-enhancing low-level items.
Always, extract all unwanted gear to gain enhanced stones and put early resources into your weapon — it speeds up everything else. Don't chase perfection early. Your gear changes constantly until 45. It is one of the most important tips you will learn in this Aion 2 beginner guide.
Want to make it even better? Leave your game running on LDCloud, your character can auto-battle 24/7 to gather materials, grind enhanced stones, and farm items without draining your phone battery.

Aion 2's skill system is deeper than it looks. If your active skills don't reach level 8, 12, or 16, your damage will feel weak, and your class will feel clunky. This is exactly why any well-written Aion 2 beginner guide tells players to prioritise early skill upgrades. The following table will clear up everything for you.
|
Skill Level |
What Unlocks |
Why It Matters |
|
8 |
First bonus effect |
Core upgrades like "cast while moving" |
|
12 |
Second effect |
Often, more serious damage or healing boosts |
|
16 |
Third effect |
Endgame-level strength in the early game |
●How to Reach These Levels? Use skill points to get skills to Level 10. Then, use Daevanion boards to push them to 12/16. After that, gear adds extra levels later.
●Which Skills to Prioritise? Your main damage skill chain and any skill that gives you HP recovery, and the ones that are usable while moving. These are game-changers.
●Aion 2 Stigmas: You unlock them around level 3. Choose 4 out of 12. Early on, pick stigmas that boost damage or sustain.
Trying out different skill builds becomes easier when you use LDCloud's synchronised operation feature — perfect for players testing multiple builds across different characters.
This is where real power comes from — not from raw levelling. There are different types of boards. Each one unlocks different stats, passive boosts and skill levels. For example, blue nodes increase active skill level, green nodes increase passive skill level, and stat nodes give HP, crit, defence, and damage.
To unlock them, you need Daevanion points, which come from side quests and sealed dungeons and region missions. That's why skipping side content makes your character weaker.

Now is the time for some boss fight tips in this Aion 2 beginner guide. Here's what top players do:
●Use Your Dodge Properly: Your dodge is an i-frame — meaning if you time it right, you take zero damage, even if you stand inside the red area.
●Don't Cast During Enemy Big Attacks: You cannot dodge while stuck in a spell animation. This is why "cast while moving" skill upgrades are mandatory.
●Always Use Scrolls: Especially use combat speed scrolls, movement speed scrolls and damage boost scrolls. These make boss fights dramatically easier.
Lastly, some practical tips that can help you gain a lot of power. These include:
●Sell Silentium for 5,000 Kinah each
●Extract gear for enhanced stones
●Always claim battle pass rewards.
●Upgrade the weapon first
●Do region quests for Daevanion books
Aion 2 feels complex at first, but once you understand the flow — story quests, smart gear upgrades, level-8 skills, Daevanion boosts, and quick dungeon runs — the game becomes incredibly smooth. This Aion 2 beginner guide gives you the cleanest path from level 1 to 45 without frustration or wasted resources.
