AION 2 Boundary of Light and Veil Update Arrives November 11 in Korea and Taiwan

Posted on by

AION 2 is getting its next major update, Boundary of Light and Veil, on November 11 for the Korean and Taiwan service. NC revealed the update during the game’s 1st-anniversary showcase in Seoul on November 8 KST, with a roadmap that runs through January.

This does not apply to the Global or Steam version. According to the official update page, the first part of the update raises the level cap to 55, adds housing, brings solo support to all Expeditions, and starts a wider combat and progression rework.

  • The level cap goes from 50 to 55, with a new Daevanion board and 128 additional Daevanion points.
  • Housing launches as a personal island estate that can be permanently purchased for 1,000,000 Kinah.
  • All Expeditions will support solo play, with enemy stats scaling for one player when entered alone.
  • Expeditions, Transcendence, and Sanctuaries are being separated more clearly by difficulty and rewards.
  • Manual combat is being adjusted so better skill chaining and reactions can offer up to about a 20% performance advantage.
  • The previously planned Elemental Damage Amplification stat has been scrapped.

The housing system is one of the bigger additions. Players get an island rather than just a single room, with interior decorating, gardens, terrain options, lighting, and furniture crafting. NC says launch housing includes 286 decoration types and 3 terrain options. Furniture won’t carry combat stats, including paid cosmetic furniture.

Dungeon changes are also a major focus. New Expeditions include Fanatic Urugugu Canyon and Void Arcanis, while Transcendence adds Eracus Ruins and Frostwind Valley. Lower-tier dungeon structure is being simplified, and some older Transcendence content is being consolidated into Sunken Temple of Life with solo support.

The roadmap continues after November 11. Rudra Challenge arrives December 2 as limited-time endgame content, Part 2 of Boundary of Light and Veil follows on December 23, and the new Sanctuary raid Ascension Fortress Erek is planned for January 20. That raid will feature Dragon Lord Ishtar and a boss-by-boss difficulty selection system.

NC is also running 1st-anniversary events, including the Greedy Shugo Commotion event and the coupon code THANKYOUDAEVA. A free server transfer, limited to once per account, is scheduled for November 18.
