Aion 2 Update Rebalances Expedition Bosses and Adds Hard Mode Dungeons
This Aion 2 update lowers boss strength in Expedition content, adds Hard mode to two dungeons, raises base HP for several classes, and introduces a new daily dungeon.
The update lowers boss attack in Normal Expedition and Transcendence Stage 1 by 15%. In Hard Expedition and Transcendence Stages 2 to 4, boss attack and damage boost each drop by 10%. Transcendence Stages 1 and 2 also see boss HP reduced by 6.5%, which should make Frenzy states less likely during long fights.
Urugugu Canyon and Vakron Sky Island receive Hard mode, which requires an item level of 2700. Bosses there have a 4-minute Frenzy timer, and each player gets three revives. Hard mode adds new rewards, including a chance at a Philosopher's Stone: Revelation (Bound), a chance at an Expedition Hero Artwork, and new achievements that can unlock unique skins.
Base HP at level 45 increases for several classes, with Gladiator and Templar gaining 1,500 HP and Assassin, Ranger, Sorcerer, Spiritmaster, Chanter, and Cleric gaining 1,000 HP. Assassin's Heightened Sixth Sense effect is also stronger, and the Illusive Clone cooldown drops from 90 to 60 seconds. A new daily dungeon, Odylium Repository, shares its entry count with Daeva Bio-Research Base.
Weekly season mission rewards change, with Lower Abyss Rift Stone replacing Abyss Points on the Land Grabs mission and being added to the Watcher Kaira mission. The Amplify cap for Crafted Gear is raised, and higher-tier Expedition Gear can now be transferred to Crafted Gear.
