Currency first
Keep everyday spending, market currency and premium currency separate. A name match does not mean the currencies can be freely converted.
Materials second
Before farming or using a stone, rune or crafting material, identify its current source, purpose, binding rule and replacement cost.
Market last
Compare the live price with your own progression need. Selling a scarce material can slow your next important upgrade.
Resource-planning checklist
- Read the item tooltip, including binding and expiry information.
- Check the current patch notes for event rewards or upgrade changes.
- Reserve materials used by your main class and near-term progression path.
- Compare listing fees, price history where available and your replacement cost.
- Do not buy farmed currency or services from untrusted sellers.
Crafting and trade
Official AION 2 previews have described a trade system using in-game currency rather than premium currency. The exact live rules, tradability and regional limits can change, so verify the current Global notice before making a crafting or market plan.
Progression route
Match materials to your next real upgrade.
Pricing and value
Keep store purchases separate from market decisions.
Patch changes
