Vortex Gaming

· PvP equipment setups in Aion 2 are constantly changing due to continuous patches, making it important to adapt flexibly.
· Abyss equipment performance, medal acquisition methods, and stat values are continuously patched, so you need to stay updated with the latest information.
· While it's difficult to predict the future, the key is to design a setup that is currently powerful and considers the future while minimizing sunk costs.

· The first change is the relaxation of the Abyss amplification system. While there's a 2% performance increase for armor, 2% for accessories, and 10% for weapons/guards at the 4-breakthrough level, acquisition is currently very difficult.
· However, this amplification system is expected to be relaxed soon, so there's no need to be discouraged by the current difficulties.
· The second change is a significant relaxation in medal acquisition. The amount of medals provided through weekly season missions and directives has greatly increased, and medal purchases through 'Upper' have also been eased.
· Due to these changes, the merit of existing PvP Dragon equipment has decreased, and the importance of Abyss equipment has relatively increased.

· The first recommended setup is 500-officer 5000-officer. The 12,000-officer setup is not recommended as it has the same set options as 505,000.
· Match 5 accessory slots and 5 armor slots to 500-officer 5000-officer to activate set effects.
· Use hybrid PVE/PVP for weapons and guards, and utilize the remaining two armor slots for Erosion, Dragon, or a 10-officer buffer.
· It is recommended to prioritize acquiring guards with accumulated resources, and then further enhance weapons or armor.
· The advantage of this setup is low medal consumption and many unique slots, allowing for flexible adaptation to meta changes.

· For rings, it's best to go with 100-officer regardless, as the item level difference is small and skill effects are important.
· Build 1: Match all 7 armor pieces to 5000-officer and configure accessories to 100-officer. Efficiency may vary depending on the order of farming Legionary equipment.
· Build 2: Match 3 armor pieces (shoulders, helmet, cloak) to 1000-officer and shoes/gloves to 100-officer to increase efficiency when farming Legionary equipment. There is no significant performance difference between these two builds.

· This setup involves configuring a total of 13 pieces, including 7 armor pieces, 5 accessory pieces, and guards, to either 100-officer or 1000-officer.
· Weapons are used as hybrids, and accessories can be configured around 'Gwimok' or omitted.
· Guards are important as a 10-item level difference significantly impacts damage, but caution is advised due to the high resource requirement of 120 platinum.
· This setup requires significant investment in Abyss equipment and has the disadvantage of potential platinum sunk costs with future Legionary equipment updates.

· This setup is a guide for users who have already invested heavily in Dragon equipment and is not recommended at this time.
· Match 4-5 armor pieces to Dragon, and the rest to 2000-officer or 100-officer.
· If you already have Dragon equipment, its performance is still valid, but its cost-effectiveness is very low.
· It has critical disadvantages: difficulty in changing equipment due to meta shifts, and significant cost and time consumption.

· The most recommended setup at the moment is the 505,000 setup. It's rational to use hybrid weapons/guards and invest in two pieces of Hero armor.
· This setup is superior in terms of performance, cost, and meta adaptability, with minimal medal sunk costs.
· Since the difficulty of acquiring officer ranks has been significantly eased, it's important to participate consistently and collect medals.
· If you consistently participate in field bosses and artifact battles and earn many medals, the 508,000 setup can also be considered, but it requires considerable time and effort.
· The 502 5-Dragon setup is the worst in terms of cost-effectiveness and is not recommended.
