AION 2 Patch Notes: October 7 Maintenance Update
Read the official AION 2 October 7 patch notes: Founder Pack cosmetics, free shop access, Morph limits, drop changes, Kina items, and fixes.
AION 2 Patch Notes: October 6 PDT and October 7 CEST
NCSOFT's latest AION 2 patch notes cover the maintenance cycle dated October 6, 2026 in PDT / October 7, 2026 in CEST. The update contains Founder Pack access improvements, a Morph limit, material drop-rate changes, a limited Wind Breeze Merchant item, and several fixes. The official maintenance notice remains the source for the server window; these notes explain the gameplay changes.
Founder Pack Cosmetics on Other Characters and Servers
Founder Pack purchasers will be able to use their skins, titles, and other eligible items on other characters and servers. The notes also describe a dedicated Founder Pack shop that lets eligible purchasers obtain items they do not yet own for free according to their Founder Pack tier.
The dedicated shop is available to all characters on all servers until a closure notice is issued. Existing Founder Pack items are not purchased again. Duplicate items can remain in the inventory for now; NCSOFT says a future feature is planned to let players discard them. The notes also say duplicated skins from this shop do not count against the purchase limit for paid skins.
| Change | What it means for players |
|---|---|
| Eligible skins and titles usable on other characters and servers | Founder Pack cosmetics are no longer limited to the original character/server path described in the update |
| Dedicated Founder Pack shop | Check the shop for unowned tier-eligible items |
| Duplicate handling | Do not delete duplicate items expecting the future discard feature to exist now |
| Paid skin limit | Founder Pack shop duplicates do not affect the paid-skin purchase limit |
If a Founder Pack purchase cannot be completed, the official notes recommend closing the client and trying again. Do not use a third-party purchase or account-recovery page.
Morph Limit and Material Drop Changes
The update adds a weekly limit of 20 Morphs per server to the Substance Morph formula used to morph Sealed Wings into Enhance Stones. This is a server limit, so players planning multiple characters should check the current in-game counter before spending materials.
The notes also increase the drop rate of Raw Leather from monsters in Chaotic Lower Reshanta, Verteron, and Altgard. The update does not make every leather route equally efficient; compare the live drops, travel time, and enemy density before changing your farming plan.
Wind Breeze Merchant Item
New Kina items are added to Wind Breeze Merchants. The notes list Resurrection Spiritstone (Season 1) at 25,000 Kina per unit, limited to 10 purchases per server per week. The listed sales period runs after the October 6 maintenance through before the scheduled maintenance on December 15, 2026 PST.
| Item | Price | Limit | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Resurrection Spiritstone (Season 1) | 25,000 Kina | 10 per server per week | After Oct. 6 maintenance until before Dec. 15 maintenance |
Check the merchant and item tooltip in your region before budgeting around the full period; the live client controls availability and purchase count.
Fixes in the October 7 Update
The official notes list these fixes:
- The map pin maximum was displayed incorrectly; players can place up to 30 Map Pins.
- The “Daeva of Glorious Deeds” Weekly Mission can be completed correctly.
- Duplicate “Movement Controls” entries under Settings > Key Settings > General are fixed.
- Certain Emote commands in chat now function correctly.
If a change does not appear immediately after maintenance, close and update the client before assuming the patch failed. Record the exact region, server, character, and error message before contacting support.
What to Check After Maintenance
- Confirm the launcher has finished downloading the update.
- Check the official notice for the final server-back-online message.
- Inspect the Founder Pack shop on the character and server where you intend to use the items.
- Check your weekly Morph counter before creating more Enhance Stones.
- Visit Wind Breeze Merchants and confirm the Resurrection Spiritstone item, price, and remaining limit.
- Reopen the map and verify that Map Pins can be placed as expected.
Do not install a macro, damage-meter injection, patch bypass, or unofficial “maintenance fix.” Those tools can risk the account and are not required by the official update.
