MMOexp–Aion 2 Season 2: Farm for Profit

  • Season 2 in Aion 2 Kinah buy 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 AP 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 with Aion 2 Items

    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.
