AION 2 Unlock Milestones
Every fixed gate on the road to endgame: system unlocks by level, quest-gated features, the level-45 wall, and the Conquest item level ladder β all dual-source verified.
How Progress Gates Work in AION 2
Two gates run the whole game side by side: character level (1 to 45 at global launch) unlocks systems, and aggregate item level (the sum of your equipped gear's item levels) gates Conquest dungeon tiers from 700 to 3,000. Level is story-driven and predictable; item level is the grind you direct. The milestones above are every fixed gate on both tracks, in order.

Milestone data reflects the global launch build (Season 1, level cap 45) as of October 5, 2026. Korean-version content above level 45 β including Conquest Tier 6 at 3,800 item level β is not in the global build yet and is deliberately not listed. Gates are data-mined from the global client and cross-checked across two databases; per-boss mechanics arrive as the community verifies them on live servers.
