AION 2 Abyss Points Farm: Weekly Plan and What to Buy

Abyss Points at a glance

Abyss Points (AP) are the currency of the Abyss and PvP, but with the November 11 update NC openly set out to “provide more opportunities to earn Abyss Points without participating in PvP.” You spend them in the Abyss Shop, home of the Stigma Shards almost every Global player is short of. The Abyss basics (access, time, layers, rifts) live in our Abyss guide; this page is only about earning and spending AP.

• Access: most sources open at level 45; Lower Reshanta also asks for about 1,000 item level and gives you 7 hours a week, reset to 7 hours on Wednesday (membership adds none).
• Caps: the HUD tracks a weekly PvE limit, a weekly PvP limit and a season total; past them, gains drop. The values are neither in the client nor published on Global. Quests and Supply Requests don't count, and PvE points from the Abyss Corridor don't count toward the PvE limit (client data read by MetaBot).
• Season end: Global Season 1 is due to end on Dec 16, 2026 (client date; NC set the end of Season 1 sales on that day). Per the data so far, AP carry on, unlike Oath Coins: to be confirmed on the day.
• Sharing: the day's 5 Duty missions are shared by every character on your server; do them on your main.

Abyss Point sources, from best to worst

Global table as of Nov 13, 2026. Amounts come from the official patch notes when NC publishes them, otherwise from the Global client tables (MetaBot, Aion 2 Maps). “Outside the cap” means the source doesn't count toward the weekly limit.

NC only says “Duties”: 1,000 → 2,500 Abyss Points, among the weekly content rewards. The site ties them to the 5 daily Duty missions in the Mission tab, which paid 1,000 AP each before Nov 11 per the client data. But Abyss orders also paid 1,000 AP: if they are the ones raised to 2,500, the weekly math becomes 35,000 + 50,000 + 12,000, about 97,000 AP. Check the amount on your next mission before you build your plan.

Two sources pay more than they look. Supply Requests (crafting tab, Alt + J) take untradeable field boss loot, Silentium from Hidden Cubes and spare crafted pieces for AP, outside the cap. Season 1 achievements pay AP for PvP goals: 2,500 for 50 enemy kills, and up to 20,000 for killing an enemy Commander or Supreme Commander twice (client data).

What changed on Nov 4 and Nov 11: 2,500 AP Duties and Abyss Corridor +50%

Limited-time bonus: the “Ludra Conquest Check-In” event pays 30,000 Abyss Points as its 4th reward, until Nov 18, 2026 at 08:59 CET. Each daily check-in unlocks the next reward, so you need 4 check-in days. If you haven't started, log in by Nov 14 at the latest, then every day through Nov 17.

A weekly Abyss Points plan for PvE players

1. 1

   Every day: your 5 Duty missions

   On your main, before anything else: 12,500 AP a day. Reroll for a better reward, but never at 85,000 Kinah or more. Tick them off in our routine.

2. 2

   Wednesday after maintenance: your Abyss session

   Your time is back to 7 hours. Take your Abyss orders (up to 20, 1,000 AP each), hand in Supply Requests and, in your first week, collect the 200 Traces on the Lower Reshanta map (about 90 minutes, 36 Azphel crystals).

3. 3

   Thursday and Saturday: siege, then Abyss Corridor

   Keep at least an hour of Abyss time for 21:00. After the siege, run the Corridor at every artifact your faction holds: 5 minutes, +50% AP since Nov 4, outside the PvE limit. Times and time zone on our schedule page and siege guide.

4. 4

   During the week: 3 wins in the Arena of Tactics

   Two windows a day, gear and skills equalized: the fairest PvP for a PvE player. Up to 12,000 AP. A group is refused once any member has their 3 wins.

5. 5

   In the rifts: enemy Strongholds and sealed dungeons

   A rift every 3 hours. Set your PvE or PvP mode before leaving (70-minute cooldown): 3,000 AP per Stronghold, 1,000 per sealed dungeon, once each.

6. 6

   Shugo Festival: the weekly mission

   New since Nov 11: it pays AP on top of the festival rewards, which are worth 800 AP at level 45.

The math, with no ranked arena and no player hunting: 87,500 (Duty missions) + 20,000 (orders) + 12,000 (Arena of Tactics) comes to about 120,000 AP a week (97,000 if the 2,500 AP apply to orders rather than missions), plus the Corridor, rifts and festival. That buys the first 50 Stigma Shards (500,000 AP) in just over 4 weeks. All 200 shop Shards cost 3.5 million AP, which takes months, so the buying order matters. If you're comfortable in 1v1 or 5v5, arenas add up to 18,000 AP; stop at 30 wins, since the rest pays nothing.

Abyss Shop: what to buy first (Stigma Shards)

1. The first 50 Stigma Shards at 10,000 AP: 1 shard = 1 Stigma point. Take your core Stigma to level 15 first (35 points), whose bonus is a big damage jump, then to 20 (75 points in all). More in our Stigma guide.
2. Lesser Abyssal Manastones and Soulstones (1,000 and 2,000 AP, 50 of each a week) if you still have empty socket slots: very cheap item level.
3. The next Shards (15,000, 20,000 then 25,000 AP): 4 Stigmas at level 20 take 300 points over the season, including all 200 shop Shards. Also grab the 35 Shards from the Shugo Festival and the 35 from Nightmare: they cost no AP.
4. Daevanion Crystals: Azphel next: each crystal spent adds +1 item level, but the Azphel board is mostly PvP; only a few nodes (status effects, HP, MP) help in PvE.
5. PvP only: Potential Stones: Abyss (a fully Potentialed item costs 400,000 AP and 10 stones for +2% PvP damage; start with the weapon, see Enhancement), then Warrior Wings (200,000) and Brawler Wings (800,000), whose collection effect is permanent.

On Global the Abyss Shop sells no gear, only skins and growth items. A Korean guide telling you to buy a PvP set there doesn't apply, and Potential only works in PvP here.

Season Abyss rank: what it gives and what it doesn't

Your rank doesn't come from Abyss Points but from Rank Points earned in the Abyss, which you can also lose. Rankings are per class and update hourly; Global Season 1 runs from Sep 30 to Dec 16, 2026 per the client. Only the top 1,000 of each class get a tier, from Ninth-Class Soldier (+1.2%) to Supreme Commander (+5%): the buff applies to PvP Damage Boost, PvP Damage Tolerance and PvE damage in the Abyss. The rank also pays a title at season end, but no Abyss Point bonus on Global: a PvE player doesn't need to chase it to fill the shop.

Mistakes that cost you Abyss Points

• Doing Duty missions on an alt: it uses up the whole server's 5 missions for the day.
• Showing up to the siege with no Abyss time left: you can't get in, and you lose the Corridor too.
• Farming AP in Chaotic Outer Reshanta on your main: PvP AP there is halved.
• Queuing arenas after your 30 weekly wins: they pay nothing more.
• Buying Azphel crystals or Potential before Stigma Shards when you mostly play PvE.
• Handing your refining stones to Supply Requests: keep them for crafting.
• Switching PvE or PvP mode right before a rift: 70 minutes of waiting.

Korea: the surface layer and Abyss Points −30%

In Korea, AP carry over from one chapter to the next and the shop sells PvP sets, so Korean farming guides do the math differently. On Global, as of Nov 13, 2026, NC has announced neither level 50 nor Chapter 1: the plan above holds until the next announcement.
