Skill point priorities

Where your skill points go from 1 to 45, in order. Spend top-down: push the first skill as far as your level allows, then the next. The bar shows the level to aim for by 45 — the marked eighth block is where the first specialty opens, and striped blocks 11–12 come from Daevanion skill nodes.

Actives

Passives

Leave at 1:

Skill levels are gated by character level, so you can't finish a line early — keep your two mouse-button skills at the cap every level, then fill down the list. Sources: aLuckyRO's skills-and-stigmas guide for each class and MMO Codex for unlock levels.

Daevanion boards

Your class's actual board layouts. Drag the level (or press play) and watch the route fill in, node by node, the way you'd spend points while leveling.

Route order

Layouts come from aion2.dev, built from playtest client data (build 25344886), and match Talentbuilds' planner node for node on all 32 boards; the live global board may differ slightly. Points by level are an estimate built on aLuckyRO's ~160–170 at a fresh 45 — type your real number in the points box (or drag the slider) to plan with it. Adjacent nodes unlock outward from the center, so the planner buys the cheapest path to each target.

Point-saving trick (aLuckyRO): raising a skill with skill points costs 2 per level at first, then 4 once it climbs. Stop one level short of where the price doubles and take that level from the skill's Daevanion node instead — on one skill he saved 4 points. Watch at 23:08 ↗

Gear tracker: what's next at 45

Enter your item level (gear score, on your character sheet) and see what you can run now, the next gate, and the upgrades to do today. Item level opens content; combat power is your real strength. Saved separately for Cleric.

Item level

What you can run

Your upgrade path

Entry gates are Normal Conquest values from the Korean and Taiwanese clients (Namu Wiki, Gamers Together). Party sizes for Krao Cave and Urugugu Canyon are from aLuckyRO's Taiwanese client footage. The upgrade order follows FRESHY's 2,200 gear score route, Mein-MMO's gear guide and aLuckyRO's launch plan. NC hasn't published global gates yet, so trust the in-game tooltip and use "Correct for global" when it differs.

Veteran playbook: after 45

aLuckyRO's advice from ten months on the Korean and Taiwanese servers: his own Day 1 to Week 1 launch plan, 17 pro tips, and the best Kinah farming spots — plus Aragon's crafting basics in their own tab. Every tip and number comes from those creators' videos. Each ▶ time link opens the video at that point.

aLuckyRO's own plan for launch. He's playing hardcore, so take the parts that fit your pace. His advice for casual players: dungeon gear is plenty for season 1; think about crafted gear once you have more power and know the game. ▶ 19:11

Day 1

1
Rush your main to 45 first.He's aiming for 4–5 hours. Servers open around midday Europe time and crashes are normal at an MMO launch, so get your main done before you touch alts. ▶ 6:43
2
Run Duty Missions before the first daily reset.They unlock at 45 and are the main source of Hidden Cube keys. A key costs 50 Quna in the shop (3 a day max), so reroll for keys, not crystals. ▶ 5:47
3
Then make 3 alts and take each to 22.About an hour each. At 22 the story opens Expeditions and Odyle Energy starts at 180, then recharges every hour. Park them there and go back to your main. ▶ 7:19
4
Pick Chanter (or Cleric) for alts.Supports can clear Krao Cave and Draupnir with much less gear than a DPS alt. Don't spend Kinah on alts; if you have to, it defeats the point of having them. ▶ 4:44

Week 1

5
Pets first.Farm pet souls at the spots from his Kinah video and finish the three pet levels in week 1. ▶ 8:00 ▶ 17:00
6
Genus Insight: level it to 10 before you lock anything.Found under Pets. You can only lock an analysis stat at level 10. Then lock the good rolls (like Double Chance or PvE Attack) and re-analyze the rest. ▶ 17:11
7
Aim for 1,500 item level, 2,000 if you push.That's his week-1 target on his main. ▶ 8:25
8
Ascension Trial: wait until you're strong.Run it late in the week at the highest stage you can clear. Running it early on a low stage wastes the better rewards. ▶ 8:40 ▶ 10:40
9
Turn Mysterious Crystals into Arcana.The Trial's seasonal challenge quest gives Mysterious Crystals. Five of them plus about 2M Kinah transmutes an Arcana card, worth roughly +100 item level. ▶ 11:04
10
Explore the whole map.Every area you unlock adds a statue to your Pantheon, which is extra power. ▶ 18:55
11
Skip Arena for now.Wait until you have some gear and your skills are around level 16. Early losses drag your rank down. ▶ 18:32

Gear & crafting route

12
Urugugu Canyon and Vakron gear to +10, then stop.Add simple manastones and leave it. He skips the Fire Temple and Ferocious sets because his target is crafted gear. ▶ 12:18
13
Level Alchemy by recrafting materials.Queue big batches overnight. The materials always sell for a profit, so leveling costs you nothing. ▶ 12:57
14
Farm crafting materials on your alts.Krao Cave and Draupnir drop the orb materials. Move them to your main through the server (account) warehouse. He'll gear alts to about 1,400 for Urugugu Canyon, his guess for global. ▶ 13:46 ▶ 14:35
15
Save your main's Odyle Energy for Fire Temple and Ferocious Horn Den.They pay the most Kinah and the Arcana you'll need lots of. ▶ 15:13
16
Know that Arcana is RNG.Transmutation lets you pick one guaranteed stat; the rest is random, and it needs enchanting to level 5 to pay off. ▶ 15:40
17
Farm manastones and sell them.PvP gear is removed on global, so manastones are a big Kinah source early. ▶ 17:45

Set up your roster

1
Fill every character slot and take each to level 10.About ten minutes each once you can skip the cutscenes. Every alt's cube and warehouse is extra storage for crafting materials, and expanding a cube on a fresh alt costs about 120,000 Kinah. On a main past 100 slots it's closer to 10 million. ▶ 1:56
2
Planning to play alts? Take them to 22 and park them.Odyle Energy only starts recharging after the level-22 red quest opens Expeditions. From then on it builds up while you play your main (cap 840 with a subscription, 540 without). Level them to 45 later using the banked energy. ▶ 4:24
3
Hold the green quest that rewards a cube line.Early on, that line costs about 5,000 Kinah. Abandon the quest now and turn it in once the next line costs millions, because the quest unlocks it for free. Do every other regional green quest after 45. ▶ 12:48

Leveling to 45

4
Rush 45 before the first daily reset.Do only 3–4 sealed dungeons at 22 and again at 33 to fill the Ascension gauge (about 4% each). Skip strongholds, feathers and the rest, or you'll miss the first day of Duty Missions. ▶ 8:39
5
Reroll Duty Missions for Hidden Cube keys, not crystals.The first reward slot is guaranteed. A key costs 50 Quna (premium currency) in the shop, while 600 crystals take about ten minutes to farm. Reroll until the key sits in the first slot. ▶ 10:21
6
Solo the story dungeons.Bosses get stronger for every extra player. Krao Cave, Urugugu Canyon, Fire Temple and Draupnir are all soloable on any class, and you won't lose time waiting for a group. ▶ 15:32
7
Ascension Trial: skip Easy.Save your weekly entry for Normal. He expects the global requirement to be around 1.3–1.4k. The mobs are easy; the item-level requirement is the only hurdle. ▶ 14:26

Your first gear

8
Only spend Odyle Energy on the right chests.Skip the Krao Cave and Urugugu Canyon chests during the story. Open Fire Temple once for a chance at the weapon, and don't farm it. Open Draupnir twice with a subscription or three times without to get the starting set. ▶ 16:22
9
Make the Draupnir set your main gear.Run Krao Cave for the accessory (about 7 runs with a subscription). Then farm Draupnir: enchant to +10 and add manastones, but skip soul binding for now. Build power for Urugugu Canyon and Vakron, which are your next stage. ▶ 17:18
10
Never dissolve or sell gold items.Using a gold item as the material for a soul-bind reroll gives a 100% chance to reroll the stat you picked. Stockpile them. ▶ 18:33

Weekly routine

11
Buy all 12 Command Merchant contracts a week.Common merchant in your main city, plus a second Command Merchant in the Abyss. The price rises with each contract but the rewards stay the same. Most new players never find it. ▶ 19:13
12
Faction artifact: go late in the week.It opens twice a week, only when your side holds the artifact. Enter on the last day, a few hours before reset, when you're at your strongest. The run lasts about 2 minutes, so kill as many mobs as you can for Abyss Points. ▶ 21:47
13
Always open Hidden Cubes with a key.They can drop Odyle Energy, stones worth selling, and wings that sell very high in the first weeks. Spend your keys early, while the prices are high. ▶ 22:58
14
Nightmare: never let the counter hit 14.Entries recharge twice a day and stop at 14. If you can't kill the last boss yet, farm the easier ones, since repeat kills still pay. Spend the points in the Nightmare trade shop. ▶ 24:58
15
Subscribed? Clear the weekly special shop.Go to Shop, then Black Cloud Merchants, then Special, and buy everything (Odyle Energy, Nightmare clear tickets and so on) except the Resurrection Spiritstone, which you'll have plenty of. Also buy the energy in Morph's special section. It resets weekly, so don't skip a week. ▶ 26:29

Early-game money

16
Camp field bosses with friends.Check the spawn timers under Map, then Exploration, then Field Bosses. Their gold gear drops sell for a fortune, because heavy spenders turn them in to Supply Requests for Abyss Points. Even without gear, the box gives soul-bind fragments. ▶ 28:00
17
Flip the Supply Request stock at weekly reset.Log in right as the weekly section resets and buy out the stock (white, green and blue gear, weapons especially), then resell it for about three times the price. There's no world market at launch and the stock differs by server, so demand stays high. ▶ 29:34

Aragon's crafting basics. Crafted gear is the long-term best in slot, but getting your first gold piece is mostly RNG. His first gold accessory rolled straight to Splendant and sold for 33M listed (30M after the 10% market cut). Markets are per server and wild right now, so treat every price as temporary. ▶ 0:00 ▶ 16:08

Why craft at all

1
Crafted gear is end-game best in slot.It has the highest item level and the most stat lines; dungeon gear is always slightly behind. Each new season you transfer-craft it up to the next tier instead of replacing it. ▶ 0:44 ▶ 13:18
2
Transfer crafting keeps the expensive parts.Your substats and amplification levels carry over. You lose manastones, Theostones and potentials, which cost far less than high enhancement levels. Transfer crafting can never fail. ▶ 1:34 ▶ 12:37

Pick a profession

3
Alt + G opens crafting.Blacksmithing: greatsword, longsword, dagger, mace and guards. Armorsmithing: armor. Handicrafting: bow, staff and every accessory. ▶ 2:35
4
Handicrafting accessories for item level; a weapon for damage.Accessories fill five slots and give attack stats (armor gives defense), so they're the biggest item-level jump and the easiest to sell. A crafted weapon costs about twice an accessory's materials but is the single biggest damage upgrade. ▶ 2:54 ▶ 3:38

Level it safely

5
Spam the level-1 material craft.In the Materials tab. The second ingredient is sold by NPCs; the first you gather or buy. Gather the material your target item uses (diamonds for earrings) — lucky gathering procs give the green, blue and gold materials you'll need later. ▶ 4:39 ▶ 5:23
6
At Novice 50, take the regional quest.Hitting 50 in any crafting or gathering profession gives a quest that upgrades you to Professional. ▶ 6:02
7
Grays and greens at Professional; blues and golds at 15–20+.Always check the success chance before you craft. A failed craft gives nothing and eats every material. He gambled a gold craft at only an 8-level gap — 77.5% — and says he should have leveled further first. ▶ 6:26 ▶ 7:15 ▶ 12:14

The odds and the money

8
Each tier upgrades 25% of the time.On average 64 grays → 16 greens → 4 blues → 1 gold, on top of a 93–95% success roll at the best level gap. Once an item is gold, transfer crafting is risk-free. ▶ 7:46 ▶ 8:33
9
Don't trash failed crafts.Gray, green and blue leftovers can be turned in to Supply Requests for pity rewards, or sold. ▶ 9:15
10
Artisan Refining Stones are the bottleneck.The blue tier is where crafts stall, because the stones are scarce on the market. Level alts and move their bound stones to your main — that's how his gold cost him about 2M Kinah. ▶ 10:24 ▶ 10:50
11
Price a craft before you buy materials.Market price × quantity for every material, divided by your success chance. Make a copy of his spreadsheet ↗ and enter your server's prices and your craft chances. ▶ 10:10 ▶ 13:50 ▶ 15:15
12
Or skip the RNG.Buy the gold item and transfer-craft it up from there. ▶ 15:42

The 1,000,000 Kinah daily cap is really a loot cap. It applies per character, on your faction's mainland only. Once you hit it, mobs stop dropping loot and only give pet souls. So farm mobs that give little Kinah per kill: you get more kills, and more gold-item drops (about 10–15 per cap), before you hit it. ▶ 0:38 ▶ 4:05

Taiwan prices: a crit armor stone sells for about 376k, a crit accessory stone about 700k. He expects roughly 1–3M each early on global.
Stronger players one-shot these mobs, so AP adds up fast over an hour.

▶ 15:28 ▶ 17:38

Before you farm the Lv 49s: do the blue regional quests for a few rings and bracelets first. The mobs hit hard on fresh level-45 gear.

Systems guide: how your power works

Kanon's in-depth PvE progression guide, reorganized by system. He has close to 1,000 hours on the Korean servers, has cleared all the content including the pinnacle raids, and reached just under 900k combat power. Everything here comes from his guide (global update, Oct 4 2026). Each Kanon · CH link opens the chapter it's from. KR marks numbers from the Korean servers that may differ on global.

The short version. Best offensive stats: Double Chance, then Front/Back Damage Boost, then Weapon Damage Boost and Critical Damage Boost, then Damage Boost. Flat attack: Attack, then Max Attack, then Attack Bonus. Get your two key active skills to 20 first (rings and Arcana), hoard Heroic transfer fragments, and don't lock Pet Genus lines before level 9. Combat Speed is S-tier on its own, so stack all you can.

Every gear piece has up to seven layers of stats. Only the stat lines and Amp levels survive a transfer to new gear; the rest is lost. Not sure where something drops? Select the item in game and pick Source. Kanon · CH 1

The seven layers

1
Enhancement and Amp levelKinah plus Enhance Stones. Unique (yellow) gear goes to +15 and Heroic (orange) to +20, then each gets 5 Amp levels (the blue diamonds) that unlock orange stats. A Unique piece at +15 Amp 5 transferred into Heroic becomes +20 Amp 0.
2
Base statsFixed. They never change.
3
Amp stats at Amp 5Weapon: +150 Attack and +5% Attack Increase. Armor: +400 Defense and HP, +5% of each. Accessories: +100 Attack, +200 Defense, +5% Attack Increase. KR Armor and accessory values aren't confirmed for global.
4
Stat lines (Soul Binding)Random lines from a pool that's fixed per slot. Synch Stones reroll one line, Soul Codex: Reset books reroll them all, Soul Codex books raise their values. At 100% binding, a Philosopher's Stone adds one extra line. That extra line is lost on transfer.
5
Manastones and SoulstonesManastones for weapons and armor, Soulstones for accessories. Grades go gray, green, blue, yellow; higher grades roll better lines. Lost on transfer.
6
TheostoneWeapon socket with a % proc on hit (like a 2% chance to deal 5k Water damage). Less than 1% of your damage. Lost on transfer.
7
PotentialPvP-only on global. Unlocked with Potential Stones, mostly from the Abyss and the Abyss shop. Lost on transfer.

Slot by slot

1
Weapon and Guard: most of your damageSame stat lines on both, including +Active Skill lines. Dungeon weapons: 4 lines, Amp 3 max. Extendable (Khromede, Ludra): 4 lines, Amp 5. Crafted: 5 lines. The six crafted Dragon Lord tiers: True Dragon (Amp 1), Splendent True Dragon (Amp 3), then White Dragon, Splendent White Dragon, Wise Dragon and Splendent Wise Dragon (Amp 5). Kanon · CH 2

Armor: defense and passive skillsHelmet, shoulders, chest, pants, gloves, cloak, boots. Lines can add +Passive Skill levels, never active skills.
3
Accessories: damage, and the only active-skill lines outside your weaponNecklace and earrings: basic stats plus passive skills. Rings: basic stats plus active skills. Bracelet: Pantheon stats (first from raid 1, Ludra). Brooch: basic stats (first from raid 3, Muspel).
4
Belt and Amulet: their own scrollsBoth come from the level-45 story. Belts use Noble Belt Enhance Scrolls (from Strongholds); amulets use Fierce Battle Amulet Enhance Scrolls (from feather turn-ins). Take them to +10, then Substance Morph them up a grade (Heroic is max). Belt is defensive, amulet offensive.
5
Runes: the only gear that can blow upYou enhance them by smashing two together plus a Clash Rune Enhance Scroll, and a fail destroys the rune. Top end-game players sit around +7 on both. Base: 0.5% Damage Tolerance and 0.5% Damage Boost (+0.5% a level), 100 Penetration (+50 a level), 1% Combat Speed (+1% a level after +6), 1% Multi-hit (rises after +9, unconfirmed).

Pendant: level-50 storyFrom the Chapter 1 expansion region. Enhanced with Unique Amp Stones and Radiant Balaur's Essence up to +20 (no Amp), and very expensive near the top. HP, Attack Bonus, Defense Bonus, Crit and Crit Resist; Perfect from +8, Double Chance from +13.

Pantheon stats

Bundles of two effects each. You get them from bracelets, Arcana cards, and the statues and portraits you collect in the Pantheon. Kanon highlights the four marked ★ as the highest-value ones. Kanon · CH 1

★ Destruction Zikel: Attack Increase, Perfect Resist
★ Wisdom Lumiel: Less MP cost, Double Chance
★ Illusion Kaisinel: Cooldown Reduction, Endurance Penetration
★ Time Siel: Combat Speed, Double Chance Resist
Death Triniel: Critical Hit, Regeneration Penetration
Destiny Marchutan: MP, Endurance chance
Space Israphel: Move Speed, Block chance
Justice Nezekan: Defense, Perfect chance
Freedom Vaizel: Accuracy, Evasion
Life Yustiel: HP, Regeneration chance

Chase the rarest line first. Each slot below is in order of how rarely the line rolls (the ≈ % chance), not raw damage. Weapon Damage Boost hits harder than Damage Boost, but Damage Boost rolls half as often, so it's listed first. Rare lines are the hard ones to fish for, so lock them in and transfer them forward.

Rerolling and keeping lines

1
Synch Stones reroll one line. Match the gear's grade.A Unique Synch Stone on Heroic gear only has a 10% chance to reroll, so never do it. Make Synch Stones by Substance Morphing Synch Stone Fragments (from dungeons) or any Unique gear piece.
2
Reset Books reroll every line at once.The orange Soul Codex: Reset.
3
Got the best combination? Transfer it.Transfer Stones move your lines to new gear. Don't land a rare line on the Philosopher's Stone line, because it won't carry over and you'll be fishing again.
4
Unique to Unique is cheap; think hard before going Heroic.Heroic transfer stones are hard to come by. See the Enhancing tab.

Accuracy and crit targets

Bosses resist Accuracy and Critical Hit. Count PvE Accuracy, Block Penetration and similar stats too, so the number on your Stat Info page will read lower than these. Global caps crit at 50%. KR Not yet confirmed for global; Kanon says they're close, not exact. Kanon · CH 3

Raid	Accuracy	Crit
Ludra (global, projected)	1,200	1,200–1,400
Corroded	2,350	2,500
Muspel Normal	?	?
Muspel Hard	2,800	3,150

Transfers keep your stat lines and Amp levels. Manastones, Theostones, Potential and the Philosopher's line are lost. So don't spend Superior stones on gear you'll replace soon. Kanon · CH 5

Growth (+ levels)

1
Enhance Stones to +15 or +20, then Amplify Stones.Make Amplify Stones by Substance Morphing Amplify Fragments with Enhance Stones. Success odds soft-reset to 60% from +15 to +16. Kanon · 5A
2
Ignore Potential for PvE.It's PvP-only on global. Kanon · 5A

Manastones and Soulstones

3
Each stone rerolls every socket on the piece.Roll Superiors on end-game gear only. Kanon · 5B
4
Land at least one yellow Damage Boost-type line.Blue gives 30, yellow 100, and 100 = 1% on your stat sheet. Two yellow Attack lines ≈ one yellow Damage Boost line; one yellow Attack (10) is a fine placeholder when you're low on stones.
5
Best to worst:Front/Back Damage Boost > Weapon Damage Boost ≈ Critical Damage Boost > Damage Boost > Attack.

Theostones and Soul Binding

6
Theostones barely matter. Pick the glow you like.One per weapon, and the same ones don't stack. Higher Combat Speed means more hits and more procs (ping affects this). Kanon · 5C
7
Bind raises line values with Soul Codex books.Every use upgrades, but by a random amount, and the cost rises each time. At 100% binding rate, 2 Philosopher's Stones (mostly from Conquest dungeons) add an extra line that won't transfer. Kanon · 5D
8
Sync rerolls one line; Reset rerolls all of them.See the Stat lines tab for what to chase.

Transfer

9
Transfer Stones come from fragments.Substance Morph Heroic gear (5 fragments each), or buy in select shops like the Season Shop. Accessory stone: 10 fragments. Armor: 15. Weapon: 20. Kanon · 5E
10
Same grade costs 1 stone. Unique to Heroic costs 5 more Unique stones.Unique Transfer Stones can't be upgraded to Heroic ones. Higher item-level Unique gear morphs into more fragments (×1 to ×5), so check before you morph.
11
Hoard Heroic fragments.You'll need a lot later. Kanon skips the first Heroic set (Ancient Spirit) and waits for the second (Faded Shadow) before going Heroic.

Arcana cards work like gear with set bonuses. Each card gives a Pantheon stat plus up to 4 lines of skills or stats. Crafting your own (Transmute) lets you pick the lines, and Kanon says it's 100% worth doing. Global launches without every card and set. Kanon · CH 6

The 10 cards

Card	Rolls
Chalice	Pantheon stat + any active or passive skill
Scale	Pantheon stat + any active or passive skill (double cost; not at launch)
Parchment	Pantheon stat + half of your active skills
Compass	Pantheon stat + the other half of your actives
Bell	Pantheon stat + half of your passives
Mirror	Pantheon stat + the other half of your passives
Key · Dice	Offensive stats
Hourglass · Lantern	Defensive stats

Leveling and crafting

1
Transcendence dungeons drop cards and Training Arcana.Feed either into your equipped card. Max level 5; each level adds +1 to a random skill line on the card (or a small stat bump if it has no skills).
2
Moving up to a better card loses some EXP.It doesn't carry over 1:1, but it's often still worth it. Feeding the same card type gives bonus EXP.
3
Transmute pays in Crystals.Substance Morph them from Shards; each Transcendence dungeon drops a different Shard.
4
Find which card your key skills sit on.Start with a cheaper set that gets your actives to 20, then farm toward a 4-line craft.
5
Craft the Chalice first.Chalice and Scale have the biggest pools, so they're the hardest to roll. The others roll 4 lines from a pool of 6, so drops often land close.

5-card setup (all classes)

Pantheon stats beat set effects at this stage. Two Primal Vigor cards for the 2-piece; Parchment and Compass swapping sets is fine. The three most important lines: Chalice (Time · Combat Speed), Bell (Destruction · Attack Increase), Mirror (Wisdom · Double Chance).

Primal Vigor 2-piece: +60 PvE Attack at 70%+ HPChalice (Time) · Parchment (Life)
Magic Armor 2-piece: restore 1,500 MP at 20% MP or less (30 s cooldown)Compass (Death) · Bell (Destruction) · Mirror (Wisdom)

8-card setup (all classes)

Punishing Overture 2-piece: +5% Boss Damage Tolerance · 4-piece: +60 PvE Attack and +10% PvE Damage Boost at 70%+ HPChalice (Time) · Parchment (Life) · Key (Attack Bonus) · Hourglass (Defense Bonus)
Protected Soul 2-piece: +5% Restoration · 4-piece: +5% Weapon Damage Boost, plus a 10k shield for 5 s at 30% HP or less (2 min cooldown)Compass (Death) · Parchment (Life) · Bell (Destruction) · Mirror (Wisdom) · Scale (Destruction, Destiny)

As written in his guide, Parchment appears under both sets.

Five boards (Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian, Special), nine lines each. Leveling Insight (the blue bar, your Genus level) opens more lines and better grades. Analyze rerolls every open line; each locked line makes the next roll cost more. You get 3 presets. Kanon · CH 8

Global steps

1
Don't lock anything. Analyze every board up to level 9.Level the Special board first. Rainbow Crystals work on any board if you have plenty. Kanon · CH 8
2
At 9, use Auto Analyze for Line 4.Pick that board's best Line 4 stat, set it to Unique (yellow), and run.
3
Upgrade order on every board:Line 4, then 1 and 5, then 6 and 9, then 7, then 2 and 8. Skip 2 and 8; they cost too many Crystals and too much Kinah for what they give.
4
Owned Effects: Might and Precision first.Unlocking and leveling pets adds passive stats (max level 3 on global, with a Pantheon stat at max). Every Cogni mob gives 1 Might and every Natura mob 1 Precision. Use Source to find them; no source means the mob lives on the other faction's land.

Best lines (global)

Lines	Aim for
1, 5	Max Attack > Attack Bonus
2, 8	HP Increase % (skip)
3, 6, 9	Power Shard Bonus. Crit or Accuracy first if you're under the cap.
4 · Cogni	Critical Damage Boost > Damage Boost, PvE Damage Boost
4 · Fera	Weapon Damage Boost > Damage Boost, PvE Damage Boost
4 · Natura	PvE Damage Boost > Multi-hit > Perfect Chance
4 · Varian	Front/Back Damage Boost > PvE Damage Boost
4 · Special	Double Chance. No backup: roll until you get it.
7	Damage Tolerance or PvE Damage Tolerance > Endurance

Wings give stats two ways: while equipped, and just for owning them. Enhancing (up to +10) raises the Owned Effect, but wings can't be enhanced at global launch. Only the top owned line (Flight Power) and the last one grow; the last line stays hidden until +1. Kanon · CH 9

What players equip

KR Share of each class's players by wing, Aug 21 2026, from aion2tool.com (Kanon's source).

Why everyone runs Eroded

1
Front/Back Damage Boost has its own multiplier.It's a newer stat in its own damage bucket, so even ranged classes build into it.
2
Sorcerer and Spiritmaster are the exception.Their kits have abilities that don't benefit from Front/Back Damage Boost.
3
Upgrade priority: Nightmare Wings.Kanon flags their owned Double Chance as the highest-priority upgrade. Upgrade every wing below to max eventually.

Every skin you unlock adds a small % for that skin type. Weapon skins, for example, raise your weapon's Attack %. It's a very long-term source of power that adds up. Kanon · CH 10

The formula

Outfit damage = [(Min Attack + Max Attack) ÷ 2] × Weapon Outfit Increase %
                + Pure Attack

Kanon's example: his gauntlets have 500 Attack and his closet gives +6.7% Fist Attack Increase, so the 6.7% applies to that 500. Closet Attack counts as Pure Attack (see Damage math).

What 1% of each stat is worth in real DPS. KR Measured on an ideal KR end-game build, start of Season 1, with support buffs. Diminishing returns are smaller on global, where everyone has fewer stats, so expect the numbers to shift. Much of this math comes from Korean YouTuber Aion Research Lab (AionLab), who worked through it with Kanon. Kanon · CH 11

DPS gained per stat

1% Double Chance0.6–0.65%Best offensive stat. ≈0.8% at 50% Double Chance, 0.65% at 70%, 0.6% at 80%. Bosses from Dying Dramata on have 30% Double Chance Resist.
1% Front/Back Damage Boost0.57–0.65%Starts at 0% in its own multiplier. Assumes you land the positional 75% of the time.
1% Weapon Damage Boost0.5–0.55%Its own bucket; multiplies Pure Attack, so it grows as Pure Attack does.
1% Critical Damage Boost0.4–0.6%Starts at 50%. About 0.4% for classes with crit-damage buffs, 0.6% without.
1% Damage Boost0.35%Added together with Boss, PvE and Species Damage Boost (over 200% total at KR end game), so each point is worth less. As low as 0.3% on classes with more of it.
1% Multi-hit≈0.33%At a 36–40% rate. Each extra hit (1 to 4) is 5% of the damage. Still being tested.
10 Attack0.17%Pure Attack, multiplied by Weapon Damage Boost. Two yellow Attack manastone lines ≈ 1% Damage Boost.
10 Max Attack0.1325%Raises the top of your weapon range and its average.
10 Attack Bonus0.1%Added after Weapon Damage Boost, but still inside Attack Increase.
1% Perfect≈0.1%Procs your weapon's max damage; also has a hidden ≈5% effect on Pure Attack.

Max Attack vs Attack Bonus in detail: AionLab's breakdown ▶ 6:17 (Korean: 최대공격력 = Max Attack, 추가공격력 = Attack Bonus).

How the other stats behave

1
Diminishing returns, in one example.Double Chance 1% → 2% is +0.99% DPS, not +1%. With 80% Double Chance, minus 30% boss resist, plus 12% from support buffs, you're at 62%, and the next +1% is only +0.617% DPS. Kanon · CH 11
2
Power Shards.Regular: +4.65% damage. Superior (yellow): +8.9%. Kanon · CH 11
3
Accuracy vs Block and Crit vs Crit Resist use the same curve.100 Accuracy ≈ 6–7%. Parry caps at 80%, reached at a 1,200 gap. Skill passives add crit directly, so if a skill already crits 80%, skip a crit specialty on it. Kanon · CH 11
4
Penetration is low value.In PvE, Defense cuts damage by only 10% of (Defense − Penetration); in PvP, 1%. Example: 500 damage into 200 Defense with 100 Penetration = 490.
5
Defense that matters against bosses.Damage, Boss and PvE Damage Tolerance only. Bosses have no Front/Back or Weapon Damage Boost, crit or multi-hit, so those resists do nothing. Endurance is your % chance to take half damage, and bosses have no Endurance Penetration. Kanon · CH 11
6
Ping costs real damage.In testing, a 150–200 ping difference cost about 50–70% damage, roughly the same for Templar, Brawler and Assassin. Combat Speed is S-tier, but ping and FPS cut into it.

The full damage formula

Kanon calls this the closest formula anyone has published. Everything is confirmed except where Multi-hit sits; it may be outside Attack Increase. Kanon · CH 11

Final damage =
 [ [ ( ((Pure Attack × Weapon Damage Boost) × Multi-hit × Power Shard) + Attack Bonus )
     × Attack Increase %
     + PvE Attack + Boss Attack + Species Attack + Front/Back Attack ]
   × Skill coefficient
   + Skill additional damage
   − (Defense − Penetration) × 0.1          ← 0.01 in PvP ]
 × (Damage Boost + PvE + Boss + Species Damage Boost)
 × Critical Damage Boost × Double × Front/Back Damage Boost × Skill specialty

"Pure Attack"Kanon's label for Attack multiplied by Weapon Damage Boost: weapon, guard and accessory Attack, Attack stat lines, manastone and soulstone Attack, and Closet. Your in-game Attack stat leaves out Weapon Damage Boost.

Flat attack, best to worstTier 1: Attack, Max Attack (both Pure Attack), Attack Bonus. Tier 2: PvE Attack, Boss Attack. Tier 3, conditional: Front/Back Attack, Species Attack, Critical Attack.

Never do this

The leveling mistakes veterans of the Korean and Taiwanese servers keep warning about.

Shugo Festival before 45. Rewards scale with level; keys stack, so bank them.
Opening story-dungeon chests. They cost Odyle Energy you'll want at 45.
Enhancing leveling gear past +5. Extraction refunds stones, never the Kina you paid.
Forgetting to slot specialties. They don't activate until you drag them into the slot.
Action combat mode on a mana-hungry class. Target mode weaves the auto-attack that refills MP.
Dissolving gold items. They reroll soul-bind stats later.
Manastones on leveling gear. It's gone in days; the stones are worth a fortune.
Crossing the map for side content. Do what's on your route; the full cleanup comes later.
Auto-flying on low stamina. Stamina runs out, you drop, fall damage can kill.
