Ludra and new bracelets
The November 4 AION 2 Global update opens Abyssal Forge: Ludra, with Normal difficulty requiring item level 2,800 and Hard requiring 3,000. Each run has a one-hour limit. Both difficulties offer the same types of item rewards, with different drop rates. Rewards include weapons, guards, bracelets and sealed wings. More launch details are in our Ludra news story. Top-ranked Hard-clearing Forces enter their region's Hall of Fame; duplicate character records and entries involving prohibited activity may be removed. There are two new bracelets: the Abyssal Bracelet, which can be Amplified to level 3, and Ludra's Bracelet, which can reach level 5. The former can drop on either difficulty; the latter is available through voucher morphing. The voucher requirement is six Normal vouchers or three Hard vouchers. Two Normal vouchers convert into one Hard voucher. A voucher is one of the selectable guaranteed clear rewards.
Guaranteed crafting
True Dragon and Star Dragon gear now have separate recipes with a 100% success rate. These recipes produce bound items and cannot trigger COMBO, or Great Success. Eligible Artisan-to-Epic gear can serve as materials, whether bound or unbound. Existing recipes remain available with their failure risk, Great Success chance and potential to produce tradable gear.
Equalized PvP
Chaotic Outer Reshanta adds an equalized Abyss PvP zone for characters at level 45. Base access is three hours per week, extendable with entry stones. Character stats, skill levels and Stigma levels are standardized; stat bonuses and specialization effects provided by class skills and Stigmas still apply. Some Season Missions can also be completed here. Outer Reshanta rewards include bound Kina, Abyss Points, Common, Rare and Epic gear, bound crafting materials and a bound Outer Abyss Rift Stone.
Abyss schedule and points
PvP Abyss Point rewards in Outer Reshanta are reduced by 50%. Artifact Sieges and their three associated bosses move from three weekly days to Thursdays and Saturdays. Abyss Corridor points per run increase by 50%. For players attending every event, that particular weekly reward stays equivalent: two runs at 1.5 times the old reward replace three runs.
Exploration dungeon rewards
Exploration rewards improve in Draupnir, Vakron Sky Island and Ferocious Horn Den. Rewards rise to Normal difficulty levels, including more bound Kina, Enhance Stones, Silentium and Soul Codex items, plus Unique Amplify Stone Fragments. Refining Stones and crafting materials match Normal quantities but are bound. Available Exploration runs and the number of clears required for guaranteed rewards are aligned with Conquest difficulty. Kina rewards scale with cumulative Exploration clears: 100% through run 40, 80% for 41–50, 60% for 51–60, 40% for 61–70 and 20% from run 71 onward. This scale applies to Kina; the patch does not apply it to all other loot.
Check-in rewards and energy
The European Ludra Conquest Check-In runs from November 4 at 15:00 CET to November 18 at 08:59 CET. Seven daily check-ins complete the track over 14 days. Rewards include a total of 1.5 million bound Kina, 30,000 Abyss Points, coins, Soul Crystals and a leaf-themed helmet. The event joins the other AION 2 activities on the portal. Daily mail containing four Odyle Energy continues until the European maintenance on November 11. Delivery is once per account per day, and each mail expires seven days after receipt.
Ludra clear titles
Ludra Hunt runs until the November 25 maintenance: the first 20 Hard-clearing Forces in each region receive special titles. Other players can earn the general clear title on either Normal or Hard. The first Force, Forces placing second through fifth, and those placing sixth through twentieth receive different purple-background titles. The ten EU players who cleared Ludra during Advanced Access will separately receive The First to Seal Ludra with a red background. Title delivery is due by December 3 at 08:59 CET.
Pets, bosses and fixes
Pet souls previously exclusive to Pet Chests can now drop in Expedition and Transcendence Dungeons; the notice does not list the affected souls. Some Field Boss respawns shorten from 12 to 11 hours, and the Abyss Field Boss Argo, the Spirit King appears twice daily. A standard color-code field is added to customization, the Closet and chat text, with old codes still usable. Item Source now shows dungeon difficulty. EU entry passes missed in the October 25 reset are included in restoration. The November 4 hotfix removes the Hard options wrongly displayed for Fire Temple and Ferocious Horn Den. The fix requires exiting, updating via Steam or PURPLE, and relaunching.
