Action Plan: What You Need to Do
BEFORE January 21st Maintenance:
TOP PRIORITY: Spend ALL your Season 1 Oath Coins in the Season Shop. These will become useless after maintenance.
Review the Nightmare, Abyss, and Festival Shops for any items you want to grab before their inventories potentially change.
AFTER January 21st Maintenance:
Explore the brand new Season 2 Season Shop and Pass Shop to see the latest must-have rewards.
Check the updated inventories in the Nightmare, Abyss, and Festival Shops for new items.
Start earning the new Season 2 Oath Coins, Challenge Tickets, and Diver Pass Shop Coins.
Final Notes
The plans described are subject to change based on internal circumstances.
Some item names may be adjusted in future updates.
Season 2 is a major expansion of game systems, introducing new dungeons, bosses, and progression paths. Managing your economy effectively is the first step to conquering it.
By understanding these currency and shop transitions, you can ensure no resource is wasted and you're perfectly positioned to progress efficiently in AION 2's exciting second season, without needing to buy Aion 2 Kinah—though if you ever choose to safely supplement your reserves, we recommend MMOEXP for trusted service.
