In short
- 🇰🇷 KR/TW only. Global stays at level 45; NC has not announced a date for level 50 on Global.
- KR and TW raised the cap from 45 to 50 with Chapter 1 on July 1, 2026, and added Eltnen (Elyos) and Morheim (Asmodians).
- Levels 1–45 follow the same Verteron/Altgard route as Global; the new zones open through a portal after the Hero quests there.
- KR notes list conditions to move between the old and new zones’ hideouts: Lv. 45, item level 3,300 and Combat Power 270,000 (KR scale).
- From 45, each level-up gives a Superior Stigma Shard; Stigma skills go from max 20 to 25.

🇰🇷 KR/TW data — not live on Global. This page is part of our “time machine”: it shows what the Korean and Taiwanese services already have. Nothing here is a Global announcement. Names like Eltnen and Morheim are AION series names; NC has not confirmed their Global spelling for AION 2.
Status labels: [Official KR/TW] — NC Korea or NC Taiwan patch notes; [Community] — fan guides.
What changed on July 1, 2026
The Chapter 1 update (KR) / 沙霜之地 (TW) added — [Official KR/TW]:
- a level cap of 50 (up from 45);
- new regions Eltnen (Elyos) and Morheim (Asmodians), released in two parts (Chapter 1 and Chapter 2);
- the Brawler class (KR 권성, TW 拳星);
- Superior Stigma Shards: one per level-up from Lv. 45, and Stigma skills can go from 20 to 25;
- expanded Daevanion boards (Nezekan, Zikel, Vaizel, Triniel) with a free board reset.
In plain words: KR/TW got five more levels, two new zones and stronger Stigma skills. Global has none of this yet.
The route: 1–45, then 45–50
| Band | Elyos | Asmodians | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–45 | Poeta → Verteron | Ishalgen → Altgard | Same structure as Global 1–45 [Community] |
| 45 → portal | Hero quests in Verteron | Hero quests in Altgard | Completing them opens a teleport portal [Official KR] |
| 45–50 | Eltnen | Morheim | New Episode chain, field bosses, Monolith, pets [Official KR] |
The portal needs level, item level and Combat Power conditions — [Official KR]. For moving between hideouts of the old and new regions, the KR notes give: Lv. 45, item level 3,300+, Combat Power 270,000+ — [Official KR].
Helpers for catching up (KR/TW)
| Feature | What it does | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Daeva Express items | Auto-clear uncleared Strongholds or Sealed Dungeons in a chosen region, or collect all missing Empyrean Traces | [Official KR] |
| Sprout Badge | For new and returning players with a growth-support option and membership: PvP-helpful buffs until set item level / CP marks or a time limit | [Official KR] |
| Sprout group bonus | Regular players who clear Expedition, Transcendence or Sanctuary with a Sprout player get small Odyle Energy rewards (max 14 per week per server) | [Official KR] |
These are KR/TW systems. Do not expect them on Global until NC announces them.
Why KR numbers don’t fit Global
- KR and TW launched about 10.5 months earlier than Global and have had many balance patches.
- After Chapter 1, KR dungeon gates sit at item level 3,800–4,500 — far above Global Season 1 targets (about 1,000 to 2,800) — [Official KR + Community Global].
- Guides that mix KR and Global numbers will mislead you. Every number on Aion2help carries a service label.
Will Global get level 50?
NC has not given a date. We track it on What’s coming to Global; the KR/TW content in detail is on Level 50, Eltnen and Morheim. Until then, Global players should follow the Global 1–45 route and the gear progression hub.
Pending verification
- Official English names for Eltnen, Morheim and Brawler in AION 2 Global.
- Exact Hero quest names and portal requirements per server.
- Whether TW uses the same entry values as KR (the TW notes describe the same update).
FAQ
Is level 50 available on AION 2 Global?
No. Global Season 1 caps at 45. Level 50, Eltnen and Morheim exist only on KR and TW since July 1, 2026. NC has not announced a Global date.
How do you get to Eltnen or Morheim on KR/TW?
KR patch notes say a teleport portal appears after you complete the Hero quests in Verteron or Altgard. It needs level, item level and Combat Power requirements.
Are the KR item level numbers the same as Global?
Do not compare them directly. KR content and gear have moved on since Chapter 1 (for example KR dungeons at item level 3,800–4,500). Global Season 1 targets are around 1,000–2,800.
What is the Sprout Badge?
A KR/TW Chapter 1 feature for new and returning players. With a growth-support option and membership active, it gives PvP-helpful buffs until you reach set item level and Combat Power marks or the time runs out.
Is the Brawler class part of this?
Yes, Brawler arrived on KR/TW in the same Chapter 1 update. Brawler is not on Global.
