AION 2 legion guide: join, found, levels and Hall

The legion at a glance

A legion won't make you stronger: its bonuses are small. Nor is it required for any content, since the in-game group finder mixes servers, and factions too unless you tick "my faction only". What it gives you is a fixed group at a fixed time, players who know the mechanics, and loot rules agreed before you zone in. Public groups, by contrast, often ask for combat power well above the entry requirement. The 04/11 and 11/11/2026 Global patch notes don't touch legions.

Joining a legion: applying and what to look for

1. 1

   Open the Legion window

   Press L, or Esc menu then Legion. A legion belongs to one server and one faction: pick one on yours.

2. 2

   Read the recruitment posts

   Search by name or browse the list: each post gives activities, play hours and requirements (item level, class, Discord).

3. 3

   Apply

   Send your application and wait for a member with recruiting rights to accept it. A member can also invite you directly.

4. 4

   Check in on day one

   Look at your rank and permissions (storage, Hall), join the Discord if there is one and tell the officers when you play.

If you play solo, judge a legion on six things before its name or level:

• Members online when you are. Check the member list at your usual play time: 30 active players in the evening beat 128 names on a roster.
• Scheduled runs. Conquest 3★ and Hard, Transcendence, Ludra, the Thursday and Saturday siege: a legion with no calendar doesn't form groups.
• A full set of roles. At least one regular Templar and one Cleric or Chanter, or every run waits on a tank or a healer.
• A level close to yours. A legion that wants 2,800 item level won't take you through Conquest 2★, and a beginner legion won't clear Ludra on Hard.
• Written loot rules. Who gets priority on which piece, and how ties are settled.
• A leader and officers who show up. Applications answered within a few hours usually mean a living legion.

Your legion's name shows on your official profile: link your character on My character to see it alongside your build. To help your legion mates, publish your builds on the Community page.

Founding your own: level 10 and 100,000 Kinah

Creating a legion is cheap: 100,000 Kinah and a level 10 character, according to client data. Guides disagree on whether you go through a major city's legion NPC or the Esc menu's "Create Legion"; the in-game screen settles it. The real cost is time: without ten or so regular players, you'll have neither a Conquest group nor a Ludra squad.

• Pick server and faction carefully. A legion belongs to one server: every member has to play there.
• Appoint a second-in-command right away. A trusted Elite Officer can keep things running and ask for leadership to be transferred if you vanish.
• Post your schedule before you recruit, so applicants know whether they'll be around.
• Write down loot and storage rules on day one, before the first argument.

NC's rules for Global (operation policy, as of 13/11/2026): if the leader hasn't logged in for 30 days or has a sanction of 90 days or more, a member can ask NC to revoke or transfer leadership. If no member logs in for 30 days, NC may reset the legion's name, after an announcement and with no way back. A disbanded legion is never restored, and neither is the legion level it lost.

Legion levels and bonuses

A legion has 20 levels. NC mentions legion level in its Global operation policy but has published neither the bonus table nor how a legion earns EXP. The values below come from client data compiled by Aion 2 Maps: to be confirmed in game.

In short: +1% EXP from level 1, +2% at 5, +3% at 10, after which only small flat bonuses grow, up to +80 HP, +70 MP, +5 Evasion and Accuracy and +4 Attack and Defense at level 20. That's nothing next to one piece of gear, so don't pick a legion for its level. The EXP bonus mostly helps when levelling an alt to 45. The client asks for 1,000 legion EXP at level 1 and 767,500 in total for level 20, shown as "Contribution".

Hall, workbenches, merchants and shared storage

Prices and slots come from Global client data compiled by Aion 2 Maps; the Hall's contents were recorded on the Asian version. Check in game before you pay.

The Hall pays for itself if your legion crafts a lot, with all five crafting benches in one place (see crafting), or if you measure rotations on the dummy with Combat Analysis. For a small legion that only runs dungeons, 1M Kinah every 30 days buys nothing: keep that Kinah for enhancement (our ways to earn it). As for storage, only open slots as you need them, and give withdrawal rights to officers only.

In Korea, NC added Halls in Eltnen and Morheim on 01/07/2026: renting the Verteron or Altgard Hall covers them too. The 11/11 Korean notes add a decorative crafting merchant and bench (furniture for the new housing) to the "legion airship". On Global, legion airships exist in client data but are not open as of 13/11/2026.

Running Conquest, Transcendence and Ludra groups

1. 1

   Announce the run the day before

   Content, time, item level floor and roles needed, in legion chat or on its Discord.

2. 2

   Build the group

   One tank, one healer or Chanter, three DPS; for Ludra, 10 players: in early access and in Korea, the Force split into two groups of 5 with different jobs, with a Cleric in each (split to be confirmed on Global). The Group tool checks the roles.

3. 3

   Settle loot before zoning in

   Priority per piece, how ties work, and what goes to legion storage.

4. 4

   Fill and go

   Invite, then /prally to recruit the missing spots; /fchange turns the party into a force for the Abyss and field bosses.

5. 5

   Debrief

   Note what wiped the group and review the boss on the dungeon pages before the next run.

NC sanctions anyone who breaks a loot split agreed in a party or raid: 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, then a permanent ban for repeat offences, and helping someone do it is sanctioned too. Writing the rule down before the run protects everyone.

Common mistakes

1. Joining the first legion you see. No active members at your hours means no groups.
2. Picking a legion for its level. The top bonus is +3% EXP and a handful of stat points.
3. Renting the Hall and not using it. 1M Kinah every 30 days, wasted if nobody crafts or trains there.
4. Giving everyone withdrawal rights. The log tells you who took what, but gives nothing back.
5. Having a single leader. If they vanish, you have to wait out 30 days of absence, then ask NC to transfer leadership.
6. Disbanding to start fresh. Disbanding is permanent and the lost level isn't restored.
7. Leaving on a whim. 24 h before you can join or found another legion.

Global and Korea

• Size: 128 members on both; Korea went from 40 to 128 on 14/01/2026.
• Hall: Verteron and Altgard on Global; in Korea, regional Halls since 01/07/2026 and a legion airship, which Global doesn't have.
• Member list: in Korea it sorts by item level or combat power and shows which dungeon a member is in since 14/10/2026; check what your Global client shows.
• Content: Korea, at level 55 since 11/11, has other dungeons and gates entry on combat power instead of item level; use the Global thresholds in this guide for your runs.
