Enhancement and Amplify

Gear is safe to +10, and a failed try never lowers it. Only the Clash Rune breaks, and +11 to +15 is where the Kinah goes.

  1. Step 1 of 7

    What you need

    Press N to open the Enhancement window.
    Spend

    Each + level costs Kinah and Enhance Stones, and adds item level toward expedition gates.

    Why this order

    Spend on what you keep, not on what you replace.
    First
    Amulet + belt
    Most gear stops at
    +10

    Gear you will replace should stop at +10, because +11 to +15 costs about 15 times as much.

    What to protect
    • Amulet and beltKeep them all gameThey never fail. They only cost Kinah and scrolls.
    • WeaponWeapon before armor+15 adds 61 Attack at item level 36, 174 at 102.
    • Gear you'll replaceStop at +10+11 to +15 costs about 15 times the first ten.
    • Epic gearLeave it at +5Transfer is Unique only, so Epic upgrades stay behind.

    Official costs. Add 10 scrolls a grade. Substance Morph turns a +10 piece into the next grade.

  9. Step 3 of 7

    What a failure costs

    Almost nothing, except for one item.
    Gear to +10
    Never fails
    +11 to +15
    Keeps the level
    Clash Rune
    Breaks from +2

    On gear a failed try costs only its Kinah and stones, and pity makes the next one likelier.

    Costly mistakeClash Rune

    A failed try at +2 or higher destroys the rune.

    1. 1Stop at +1
    2. 2Keep a spare rune
    3. 3Don't chase +10

    +1 always works+2 is 80%, +10 only 10%No pity bonus

    A few guides say a failure only drops it a level. NC's own table says destroyed, so plan for that.

    Pity and safety
    • Pity bonusEach fail adds 5% to the next try at that step.
    • Per stepEach new step starts again at its base chance.
    • Gear stays wholeA failed try never lowers or breaks gear.
    • A sure thingThe 17th try at +15 always works.

Questions

How far can you enhance gear in Aion 2?

On the global servers Common and Rare gear tops out at +5, Epic at +10 and Unique at +15. Belts and amulets stop at +10 in every grade.

Can enhancing break or downgrade gear in Aion 2?

No, apart from the Clash Rune. A failed try on gear costs the Kinah and stones and keeps the level. NC's table says a Clash Rune failure at +2 or higher destroys it.

What are the enhancement success rates in Aion 2?

Steps +1 to +10 always succeed. On Unique gear +11 is 65%, +12 50%, +13 35%, +14 25% and +15 20%, with 5% added after each failure.

What is Amplify in Aion 2?

Amplify is the extra upgrade on Unique gear at +15, paid in Kinah and Amplify Stones. The Korean service calls it Breakthrough.

What should I enhance first in Aion 2?

Take your Revelation Amulet and Noble Belt to +10 and morph them up, then your weapon. Most other gear can stop at +5 or +10.

Does Gear Transfer keep my enhancement?

Yes. Transfer moves the enhancement and soul-bind lines from one Unique piece to a better one for Transfer Stones. Manastones, Theostones and Potential stay behind.
