How this site is organised
How the guides are structured, what the difficulty and version labels mean, and where the information comes from.
Aion 2 launches in the West in September 2026. Between now and then this site fills up with guides; this page explains how they're organised so you can find what you need without wandering.
The seven categories
Every guide lives in exactly one category, chosen by when you need to read it:
| Category | When you need it |
|---|---|
| Basics & Getting Started | Before and during your first hours |
| Classes | When you're deciding what to play |
| Progression | From level 1 to the cap |
| Endgame & Builds | When you're capped and optimising |
| PvP & Abyss | When you start fighting other players |
| Economy & Crafting | When you want to make currency |
| Game Systems | When one specific mechanic isn't clear |
Tags cut across categories: if you want everything about stigmas, the stigma tag collects it even when the guides sit in different sections.
The labels at the top of every guide
Each guide carries three pieces of information that matter more than the text itself:
- Updated on — the date of the last revision. An MMO changes every patch: a build guide six months old is probably wrong.
- Game version — the patch the guide was verified against. If it doesn't match yours, read it with care.
- Level — beginner, intermediate or advanced. It's not a judgement on you, it's how much context I'm assuming.
Where the information comes from
Three categories, always declared at the bottom of the page:
- Original guides. Written by the site team, verified in game where possible.
- Game data. Numbers, formulas and skill trees are verifiable facts: we report them and cite where we checked.
- Third-party content. Republished only under a compatible license or with the author's permission, always with name, link and license at the foot of the guide.
The full rules are in the content policy.
What's not here
A build planner. Good ones already exist, maintained by people keeping an archive of twelve thousand items in step with a game that ships a balance patch every week. Rebuilding it worse would help nobody: the Tools page lists the ones that work.
The market tracker is under construction, but it can't start until the western auction house is online.
If you find a mistake
Guides get corrected. If a number doesn't add up or a rotation stops working after a patch, report it: the fix ships before the next new guide.
