mmoexp-Aion 2 Season 2 Prep: Save, Farm, Profit - MirabelConnell - 02-13-2026
Season 2 in buy Aion 2 Items is right around the corner, and if you want to start it strong, now is not the time to mindlessly push progression. The smartest players are freezing their upgrades, stacking key resources, and positioning themselves to profit from the massive economy and gear shifts that Season 2 will bring.
This guide breaks down exactly what you should save, what you should spend, and what you should invest in during the final week of Season 1—so you can hit Season 2 with maximum efficiency and maximum profit.
1. First Rule: Freeze Your Progression
For this last week before Season 2:
Stop enchanting Tier 1 gear
Stop forcing upgrades
Stop wasting limited entries and resources
Start hoarding, saving, and planning
Season 2 will introduce new gear tiers, new dungeons, and balance changes (especially between PvE and PvP gear). Anything you dump into current progression right now will have much less value next week.
Think of this week as an investment phase, not a progression phase.
2. Save Your Energy and Dungeon Entries
Odella / Auda Energy (Expedition Energy)
Max cap: 2,000 (banked)
Usable cap: 840 (active)
In Season 2:
New Star 4 dungeons are coming (currently Star 3).
Drop rates for heroic and ancient gear are expected to be much better.
Transcendent dungeons will increase (from level 10 to ~15), bringing new Arcanas and better loot.
What to do now:
Fill your bank to 2,000 energy
Keep your active energy around 840
Only run minimal dungeons to avoid overcapping
Do not burn energy before the update
Also, make sure your reward counts / paper entries are maxed (21/21 + extra recharges). More entries = more chances at new gear when Season 2 hits.
3. Nightmare Dungeon: Don't Waste Your Entries
Right now, Ezekiel is the top boss. In Season 2, Kaisenel will be added as the new top-tier target.
To reach Kaisenel:
You'll need to clear a new progression line
That means more entries required
If you waste all your Nightmare entries now, you'll fall behind
What to do:
Save entries so you're 14/14 at reset
Keep Nightmare Dungeon Recharge Tickets in your inventory
Save the boxes that give extra entries
Plan to rush the new Kaisenel line as soon as Season 2 launches
If Kaisenel's stats are better than current gear (which is very likely), early access = massive advantage.
4. Spend Your Season 1 Tokens
Season 1 tokens will not carry over.
Before the update:
Empty your bag of Season 1 tokens
Buy whatever is useful now
Season 2 will introduce new tokens for the new season shop
Don't let old currency rot in your inventory.
5. Push Rankings This Week
Rankings = huge seasonal rewards.
Focus especially on:
Arena ranking
Abyss ranking
Any competitive ladders that pay out seasonal currency
Higher rank = more points = more buying power in the Season 2 shop.
This is one of the few progression pushes that actually makes sense before the reset.
6. The Big Gear Change: PvE vs PvP Split
Season 2 introduces a major shift:
PvP gear will be nerfed in PvE
PvE gear will be bad in PvP
You'll need separate sets again
Crafting will become extremely important
This means:
Tons of players will start crafting new PvE gear
Demand for crafting materials will explode
Prices for key materials will skyrocket
7. What to Invest in (Market Strategy)
7.1 Radiant Odella and Related Materials
Radiant Odella is:
A core crafting material
Used in high-level gear
Morphable from lower-tier materials
Currently cheap compared to future demand
Right now:
Prices are low
Supply is limited
Season 2 crafting boom will drive prices way up
Buy and hold Radiant Odella and its base materials.
7.2 Amplified Stones
Currently very cheap
Even cheaper than some gold-tier materials
Will be essential for high-end crafting and upgrades in Season 2
Expectation:
Prices will double or triple
Demand will spike with heroic gear crafting
Stock up now while they're cheap.
7.3 Mana Stones (Especially for Recrafting)
New gear = players will:
Burn tons of mana stones
Recraft aggressively
Pay higher prices out of impatience
Strategy:
Buy mana stones when cheap (e.g., under 300 each)
Recraft and resell later
Or sell raw when prices spike
We're already seeing:
Processed/recrafted stones rising in price
This trend will accelerate in Season 2
7.4 Gold PvE Gear
Since PvE gear will be mandatory for PvE content:
Demand for entry-level gold PvE gear will surge
Especially for players hitting new levels (e.g., 71+)
First-week prices will be much higher than now
Buy selectively when prices dip and flip in Season 2 week one.
8. Bank Your AP (Abyss Points)
Instead of spending everything now:
Keep PvP items that can be dissolved later
Think of them as “AP in the bank”
Example: Dissolving a ring later = hundreds of thousands of AP
Why?
We don't know the exact Season 2 PvP gear costs yet
Having a big Aion 2 Items reserve = flexibility and power
Also:
Save your medals
Don't rush-buy current gear unless it's critical
9. Weekly, Seasonal, and “Sugars” (Entries)
Finish all weeklies and seasonal objectives
Max out your entries (e.g., 14/14 where applicable)
Rewards are likely to change or improve in Season 2
Being capped means maximum value at reset
10. The One-Week Rule
It's just one week.
For one week:
Freeze progression
Hoard resources
Invest in crafting materials
Stack entries and energy
Prepare your currencies (AP, tokens, rankings)
Next week:
You'll progress faster
You'll gear cheaper
You'll make more currency
You'll be ahead of players who rushed and wasted resources
Final Thoughts
Season 2 isn't just new content—it's a full economic and gearing reset in how players approach PvE, PvP, and crafting.
The winners will be:
The ones who saved energy and entries
The ones who invested in crafting materials early
The ones who banked AP and currencies
The ones who didn't panic-upgrade in the final week
Play it smart now, and Season 2 will pay you back big time.
