AION 2 Dungeons Guide: Unlocks, Item Levels & Limits
Every AION 2 Global dungeon type: Exploration, Conquest, Nightmare, Transcendence, Daily Dungeon and the raid, with unlock levels, item levels and weekly limits.
What dungeons are in AION 2?
AION 2 Global has several dungeon types that open as you level and raise your item level. Groups are 5-player expeditions and 10-player sanctuaries, and Elyos and Asmodians can queue together. Dungeon rewards depend on your damage contribution, so everyone in the group should be attacking. Your role in a group comes from your class build.
Which dungeons open while leveling?

|---|---|---|
| Sealed dungeons | Solo | Level 10 |
