How to reach Item Level 3000 in Aion 2

This post was originally published on this site.

Reaching item level 3000 in Aion 2 requires quite a bit of effort, as it is currently the ultimate goal that everyone is targeting. Players might have noticed that the entry requirement for the Raid, the pinnacle PvE experience in the game, is currently 2800. However, there is a way to even hit 3000 item level for anyone looking to participate in the Raid’s Hard mode.

This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to reach 3000 item level from the midgame. Note that we will not be discussing the journey from 0 to 1600, as we assume you are, at the very least, ready to do Transcendence Dungeons. Furthermore, this article only focuses on item level, not Combat Power.

1600 to 1900:

Once you have reached 1600, you are eligible to run Stage 1 difficulty of either of the two available Transcendence Dungeons. Running a Transcendence Dungeon for the first time grants you Arcana Cards, which open up a new layer to your gearing, granting more combat power and item level.

You can refer to our complete guide on the Arcana system to get a clearer idea.

Stage 1 Transcendence can grant you either a White Card or a Green Card. Let us assume you get White Cards only from running both Transcendence Dungeons at Stage 1. With each White Card providing 20 item level, you are getting 100 item level in total from equipping five of them.

If you want to push further to 1900 with only the help of Arcana Cards, you can keep farming Stage 1 Transcendence until you get at least four Green Cards, minus the Chalice, to receive 180 item level just from level 0 Cards. Next, you can also enhance each card to +3.

Hence, assuming you have item level 70 armor pieces, accessories, and a weapon, all enhanced to +10, you should easily reach 1900 with the help of four Green Cards and one White Chalice Card from Stage 1 Transcendence Dungeons.

1900 to 2100:

Once you are 1900, do the same thing as before, but in Stage 2 Transcendence Dungeons. However, try to get two blue cards and three green cards. The ideal loop should be to keep running one Stage 2 Transcendence until one blue card drops, and then switch to the other one to avoid duplication.

Enhance two blue cards and three green cards to max, and you should easily reach 2100.

2100 to 2500:

Once you hit 2100, get ready to spend a lot of time in Expeditions once more, specifically the Ferocious Horn Den.

First, run Ferocious Horn Den Exploration three times, and do not pick up the pity box.

Next, run Conquest Ferocious Horn Den, and your first goal is to hit the pity box three times and pick up three Gear Change Vouchers to craft the Nuakum Guard.

Once done, keep farming this same Dungeon until you get at least seven armor pieces for your character, all being Nuakum item level 86. For the eighth and final missing armor piece, pick it up from the pity box of Exploration Ferocious Horn Den.

By the time you reach the third pity on Conquest, you can go for a fourth pity and hold onto your Gear Change Voucher if you are missing a piece. However, if you do get the Guard as a drop during this run, you can always use the Voucher to craft the missing piece from Substance Morph.

Once you have collected every piece of armor from Ferocious Horn Den, you should now have eight item level 86 pieces, five item level 70 accessories, one item level 70 weapon, along with the Amulet and Belt. Enhance each piece of gear to +10, alongside putting Manastones in each, which will be enough to get you to 2500 item level.

2500 to 2800:

Once you have hit 2500 item level, you can now either run Stage 3 or 4 Transcendence Dungeons and fill out your Arcana slots with only golden cards. This is also the time when you should be looking at the best skills on your Arcana drops and investing accordingly.

Next, you can choose to run Fire Temple Conquest for the level 86 accessories, or skip the Dungeon and follow along the method we have discussed below in the “Accessory crafting and skipping Fire Temple” section.

Having 5x Golden Arcana Cards maxed out, with every other gear piece mentioned above, will get you to 2800.

Other miscellaneous things to reach 2800:

Make sure to buy off all Stigma Shards from the Shugo trade shop, the Nightmare trade shop, and the Abyss shop, to maximize all four of your equipped Stigmas.

Next, purchase every Daevanion Point from the Nightmare Shop and the Shugo Shop, all of which will grant you item level.

Accessory crafting and skipping Fire Temple (expensive and optional, requires subscription):

Accessory crafting is something we recommend to achieve high Combat Power easily, instead of running the Fire Temple Conquest.

Here’s why:

The loot table for Fire Temple consists of weapons for all classes, alongside three accessories. Hence, there is a significantly increased chance of getting a weapon that is not of your class, along with duplicates on your accessories, leading you to keep running the Dungeon for multiple pity boxes. This also wastes a lot of your Odyle energies, which could have been used in other places.

To craft, open your in-game menu and go to “Crafting.” Next, open up the Handicrafting tab, where you will find specific Gold accessories available for crafting in exchange for specific items.

The required items can be purchased off the market using the Kina you earn by running Dungeons, making things much easier than running Fire Temple.

Reaching from 2800 to 3000 in Aion 2

Reaching 3000 item level requires a few tweaks to your existing gear pieces, alongside obtaining any remaining powers from other sources. To start, you can look at the Abyss shop and purchase 80x Azphel Daevanion Crystals in exchange for Abyss Points. Even if you do not enjoy PvP, getting all these Crystals should take you closer to or beyond 2900.

For your final task, focus on Amplified Enhance on your gear pieces. After enhancing your gear pieces to +15, you can then upgrade those pieces even further with the help of a special currency called Amplify Stone (Unique).

Each Amplified Enhance beyond +15 on a gear grants one star, up to a maximum of 5. Each star with the Amplified Enhance on a gear grants 5 item level, leading to 25 item level per item with maximum Amplified Enhancement.

Simply having two or three of these Enhancements on multiple gear pieces should easily take you to 3000.

As a final note, the Daevanion Board also has an Ariel section, just left of Azphel. Each node in this section also grants 1 item level. You can refer to our complete guide on unlocking the Ariel Daevanion Board for a clearer idea.
