What to buy first
Aion 2 runs about twenty parallel currencies. Buy what follows you: skill levels, Daevanion board nodes, stigmas and accessories stay useful across gear resets. Mid-tier armor does not.
For where each of these is earned, see what to farm.

Nightmare shop
Section titled “Nightmare shop”Buy Wisdom Stones and Daevanion Crystals first. Both are permanent, both are cheap next to everything else on the list, and both feed systems nothing else feeds as directly. Amplify Stones are the one item you will always want more of, since exceeding a single Heroic piece eats hundreds of them, but they are consumed rather than kept.
Split the shop across your characters: the main buys
Daevanion Crystals
and Nightmare Wings, both of which only help the character holding them. Alts buy
skins — the closet is account-wide, so an alt running bosses in a different order fills
it faster for everyone.
| Item | What it feeds |
|---|---|
 Amplify Stone |
Exceed steps |
| Daevanion Crystal |
Board nodes. Sold per god, and step gated rather than flat stock |
| Wisdom Stone |
Skill levels |
 Soul Codex |
Raising soul bound stats |
 Soul Codex: Reset |
Rerolling a piece’s soul bind stats. Weekly limit 3 |
 Soul Crystal |
Pet progression |
 Clash Rune Chest,  Devotion Rune Chest |
Runes |
| Wings | Conqueror Wings and Nightmare Wings |
| Skins | Armor set, cape and earrings |
The season’s final Nightmare boss unlocks a large Pantheon statue — save for it. It is a much bigger purchase than the Unique Statues, which are not worth fragments early.
