AION 2 Endgame Guide (Global): What to Do at Level 45
AION 2 Global endgame at level 45: the item level route from 700 to 2,800, daily and weekly checklist, gear priorities, Arcana, Nightmare and the dragon raid.
What do you do at level 45?
Level 45 is where AION 2 really starts. You arrive at about 700 item level, and almost all endgame content is gated by item level. The plan: finish the story, take everything to +10, and climb the item-level steps below, spending every weekly entry along the way. Swap your character to the endgame setup from your class build first.
What is the item level route?
| Item level | Goal | How to get there |
|---|---|---|
| ~700 | Reach 45 | Main story |
| ~1,000 | Final story step in the Abyss | Story gear, regional quests, map question marks |
| 1,400 | Nightmare, Shugo Festival, Draupnir | +10 on gold weapon, bracelets and armor; Monolith level 11 |
| 1,600 | Transcendence | Draupnir gold pieces (a chest guarantee after 14 openings) |
| 1,900 | Vakron Sky Island | First Transcendence Arcana (a green set adds about 200) |
| 2,100 | Transcendence tier 2 | Green Bell and Mirror Arcana, Vakron armor at +10 |
| 2,500 | Ferocious Horn Den | Blue Arcana (about +100 over green) |
| 2,800 | 10-player dragon raid | Crafted gear (item level 94–102) |
The dungeon guide explains each dungeon, and the enchanting guide lists enhancement targets for 1,400.
Daily checklist

Check the countdown on the reset timer.
How does Arcana fit in?
Arcana adds both item level and the last skill levels your core skills need to reach 20. Start Transcendence at 1,600 and read the Arcana guide. Stuck on a number? The combat power and gear score guide shows what to upgrade first.
Deep dives for each weekly system: Nightmare, the Abyss, Shugo Festival and pets and Genus Insight. Track them all with the daily and weekly checklist.
