AION 2 Shops Guide: Currencies, Purchase Limits and Resets

The recorded global client contains 16 shops: 11 NPC shops in towns and 5 exchange shops tied to activities or special currencies. The useful question is not only where an item appears, but which currency it consumes, whether the limit is per character or account, and when that limit resets.

Shop Types

Town merchants include profession shops for Blacksmithing, Alchemy, Handicrafting, Substance Morph, Armorsmithing and Cooking, plus Command, General, Legion, Mark Morph Method and Dye shops. Exchange shops cover Abyss Points, Phantasmal Fragments, Daeva Pass Shop Coins, festival tokens and season currency in this snapshot.

Inventory and location can change with regional operation. Open the current merchant panel before traveling based on an old list.

Purchase Limits

The snapshot records 189 purchase-limited offers across seven shops: 24 weekly, 2 monthly, and 163 permanent character or account limits that do not reset. “Permanent” here describes the purchase-limit record, not that the item will remain in the shop forever.

Read the full label. A character limit and an account limit affect planning differently, and a weekly reset does not make an event token permanent.

Match Currency to Purpose

Separate ordinary Kina purchases from activity currencies. Abyss Points, season currency, Pass coins and festival tokens come from different loops and should not be valued as if they were interchangeable. The currency guide provides a ledger method for tracking source, cap and use.

Buy immediate progression only after checking whether the same material is available through routine rewards. Cosmetics and collection items can be valid priorities, but they should be a deliberate choice rather than an accidental use of scarce progression currency.

Weekly and Seasonal Planning

Use the weekly reset guide to review weekly stock before rollover. For seasonal shops, compare three dates: when currency stops dropping, when the shop closes, and when the purchase limit resets. These moments may not be identical.

The Daeva Pass and season shops are version-sensitive. Check the current Daeva Pass guide and live client instead of treating recorded prices as permanent.

Purchase Checklist

1. Confirm the exact shop and currency.
2. Read whether the limit is per character or account.
3. Identify weekly, monthly or non-resetting limits.
4. Compare the item with other acquisition routes.
5. Leave enough currency for higher-priority progression.
6. Verify event and shop closing dates before saving tokens.

Version Notes

Shop counts and limit totals reflect global client build 0.0.4387.0. This guide intentionally avoids a permanent price table; live merchant inventory, price and reset labels are authoritative.
