AION 2 First Day Checklist

A practical AION 2 first-day checklist for the Launch Scale Test, September 30 advance access and October 5 Global launch.

Before you log in

  1. Install/update Steam or PURPLE and clear at least 100 GB of available storage.
  2. Update GPU drivers.
  3. Pick 2–3 class candidates, not one “meta” lock.
  4. Save the local-time test schedule.

First 30 minutes

  1. Set movement, dodge and targeting binds.
  2. Test camera sensitivity and UI scale.
  3. Try the class’s basic resource/chain flow.
  4. If the class already feels wrong, switch early.

First group content

Start with one of the four Expeditions already revealed globally. Record mechanics and menu names. That information survives a character wipe better than temporary item progression.

What not to do

  • Do not buy a higher Founder’s Pack expecting more than five days of early access.
  • Do not copy a Korean gear-score requirement into a Global dungeon page without checking the client.
  • Do not publish an exact full-launch hour until NC announces one.
