AION 2 October 7 Patch: Founder Pack Shop & Full Changes

Quick answer: AION 2’s October 7, 2026 update makes one of the biggest post-launch quality-of-life changes so far: Founder’s Pack skins, titles, and other eligible items can now be used across other characters and servers. NC also added a dedicated free Founder’s Pack shop, introduced a weekly limit of 20 Sealed Wings-to-Enhance Stones morphs per server, raised Raw Leather drop rates, added Resurrection Spiritstones to the Wind Breeze Merchant, and fixed several mission, map-pin, settings, and emote issues.

The timing matters. AION 2 only launched globally on October 5 and has already recorded roughly 397,905 peak concurrent Steam players, according to SteamDB data reported by Inven. That makes even a seemingly small economy or account-wide change immediately relevant to a very large active audience.

AION 2 October 7 patch at a glance

Founder’s Pack cosmetics now work across characters and servers

This is the headline change because it fixes a launch-week pain point for players who bought a Founder’s Pack and then created another character or moved to a different server.

After the patch, Founder’s Pack purchasers can use eligible skins, titles, and other pack items on other characters and servers. NC is doing this through a dedicated shop rather than automatically duplicating every item into every inventory.

How the free Founder’s Pack shop works

The patch notes say Founder’s Pack owners can use a dedicated shop to purchase items they do not yet own for free, based on the tier of the Founder’s Pack they purchased. The shop is available to all characters on all servers until NC announces its closure.

The important restrictions are:

• You can only claim items included in your own Founder’s Pack tier.
• Items you already own should not be purchasable again through the shop.
• If duplicate pack items remain in inventory, NC says a discard feature is planned for a future update.
• Duplicate skins obtained through this free shop do not count against the purchase limit for paid skins.
• If a Founder’s Pack purchase does not complete correctly, the official note recommends closing the client and trying again.

This is more useful than simply saying “cosmetics are account-wide.” The patch implements the benefit through a specific free shop, and players may need to manually claim the eligible items on each character.

Sealed Wings morphing now has a weekly limit

The same update adds a weekly limit of 20 morphs per server to the Substance Morph formula that converts Sealed Wings into Enhance Stones.

That is an economy-facing change, not just a UI adjustment. If you were planning to convert a large stockpile, the limit means you should treat the process as a weekly resource rather than an unlimited conversion route.

Raw Leather drop rates increased

NC increased the drop rate of Raw Leather from monsters in three areas:

• Chaotic Lower Reshanta
• Verteron
• Altgard

The patch notes do not publish a percentage increase. Any guide claiming a precise new drop rate without in-game measurement or a later official figure should therefore be treated cautiously.

Resurrection Spiritstone added for Kina

A new Kina-purchasable item is available through the Wind Breeze Merchants:

• Item: Resurrection Spiritstone (Season 1)
• Price: 25,000 Kina each
• Limit: 10 purchases per server per week
• Availability: after the October 6/7 maintenance through before the scheduled December 15 maintenance

The item is listed under the Wind Breeze Merchant’s Special section. Because the purchase cap is server-based and weekly, players using multiple characters on one server should plan around the shared server limit rather than assuming each character receives ten purchases.

Map, mission, settings, and chat fixes

Map pin limit

The game previously displayed the maximum number of map pins incorrectly. The patch notes clarify that players can place up to 30 map pins.

Asmodian weekly mission

The update fixes an issue preventing completion of the Daeva of Glorious Deeds mission under Challenge Season Missions for Asmodian characters.

Movement Controls duplicate entries

An issue that caused the “Movement Controls” option to appear multiple times under Settings > Key Settings > General is fixed.

Emote commands

NC also fixed an issue where certain emote commands did not function properly in chat.

Why this patch matters so soon after global launch

AION 2’s global service launched on October 5, only two days before this patch. Inven reported a Steam peak of 397,905 concurrent players on launch day, up sharply from the roughly 171,530 peak seen during the Founder’s Pack early-access window. Steam does not include players using NC’s PURPLE launcher, so the total live population is larger than the Steam figure alone.

That fast growth explains why account portability and economy changes are particularly important right now. Players are still choosing servers, testing classes, and deciding whether to reroll. Making paid Founder’s Pack rewards available across characters and servers removes a penalty that could otherwise discourage experimentation during launch week.

What to do after installing the October 7 update

1. Check the Founder’s Pack shop on each character you care about. Claim only the eligible items you are missing.
2. Do not panic about duplicate items. NC says a discard option is planned, although it is not available yet.
3. Track your Sealed Wings morphs. The Enhance Stone conversion is now capped at 20 per server per week.
4. Revisit Raw Leather farming areas. The official patch confirms higher drop rates, even though it does not disclose exact percentages.
5. Buy Resurrection Spiritstones deliberately. The 10-per-server weekly limit means impulsive purchases can use your full allowance.
6. Retry previously blocked Asmodian weekly progress. The Daeva of Glorious Deeds issue is listed as fixed.
