An independent reference on AION 2

Guides, a database, and plain explanations

Classes, dungeons, zones and game systems — each entry with the source it came from and the date that source was read. Where something is live on the Korean and Taiwanese service but not yet in the Western release, the page says so before you read another line.

Classes

8Every playable class in AION 2, with what it actually does in a group, who it suits, and the mistake most players make when picking one. Each page states its sources and the date they were read.

Dungeons

18Dungeon guides for AION 2 — entry conditions, boss mechanics, and where runs actually fail. Pages state which service they describe, because Korea and the West are not yet running the same content.

Three levels, and no fourth

How every claim on this site is graded.
Confirmed

Stated by the publisher, quoted in its own words, with the date we read it.

Reported

A named outlet reported it and the publisher has not confirmed it.

Not confirmed

Nobody has published it. The page says so and stops there.

Korean service only

A situation, not a level: live in Korea, not yet in the West. Marked KR throughout.

Our method

Being checkable is the whole proposition

We cite the publisher first, quote it in its own words, and record the date we read it. Korean sources appear in Korean with the translation flagged as ours. Leaks, material extracted from the client and anonymous rumours are refused outright, whatever they happen to say. When nothing has been published, the page says so — and that sentence is the most useful one we write.
