AION 2 Full Preparation Walkthrough: Story Chapter

Full Preparation is the story chapter where AION 2 stops handing you things and starts asking you to supply them. The chain is built around getting a Daeva ready — equipping the first real gear set, learning enhancement, and proving you can run the world without a guide rail. It reads as a checklist chapter, and that is exactly how to clear it quickly.

What the Chapter Asks

The beats run in a repeating shape: gather or earn a required material, deliver it, then fight a short encounter to prove the result. The materials come from ordinary play — kills, gathering nodes and the region's own quests — so the chapter rarely blocks you for long as long as you clear the green Regional markers beside it. Those regionals are also the chapter's quiet reward: they pay gear and the first enhancement stones you will actually spend.

Gear Steps and the First Enhancements

This is the natural point to open Enhance All and put your stones into a weapon rather than scattering them. Enhancement is safe in AION 2 — a failed attempt never destroys the piece — so early stones are best spent early, and the chapter gives you just enough to feel the gear-level jump. Keep the Kinah cost in mind: extraction refunds stones but never the Kinah spent beside them.

Clearing It Without Stalling

Two habits finish the chapter fast. First, empty the zone's green markers before chasing the next yellow step — the materials they hand in are usually what the story then asks for. Second, don't over-enhance early pieces; the loot curve replaces them quickly, and your stones are better banked for the two permanent accessories the gear guide flags.
