In Aion 2, your character's power isn't just about gear or levels—it's about Skill Points. These come in two main forms: Mastery Skill Points (base) and Daevanion Points (used to enhance skills beyond normal caps). While leveling naturally gives you some, maximizing your character requires smart farming and questing. Here's a straightforward guide from an experienced player on how to get more points.

1. Level Up Your Character

The simplest way to earn skill points is by leveling. Each level-up automatically grants a few points. By level 45 (current cap), you'll have enough base points to fill several core skills.

Pro Tip: Don't just rush the main story. Balanced leveling ensures you don't miss quests that give extra rewards for later skill upgrades.

2. Collect and Exchange Empyrean Traces

Empyrean Traces are often overlooked but are a reliable source of extra points.

• How to Find Them: Explore hidden areas, climb tricky terrain, or complete side encounters—they can be anywhere.
• Exchange at Monoliths: Take your traces to a Monolith in major hubs like Verteron, Altgard, or Azriel. There, they can be turned into Wisdom Stones.
• Skill Point Reward: Using a Wisdom Stone instantly gives you permanent skill points.

Pro Tip: Make it a habit to check every dungeon or secret area—you'll find traces even in places you've already passed.

3. Use Wisdom Stones from Events

Wisdom Stones aren't just for Empyrean Traces. Participating in events like Shugo Festa or Nightmare dungeons can drop these stones. They're small rewards that add up, letting you push skills past the early caps.

4. Focus on Green Regional Quests

Main story (yellow) quests give XP, but green quests are where the real skill gains lie.

• Look for Green Diamonds: These indicate regional quests that often reward items granting Daevanion Skill Points.
• Why They Matter: Base skills cap at Level 10. To go higher (12, 16+), you need to use the Daevanion Board (press U) and consume these points strategically.

Pro Tip: Completing every green quest in a region before moving on ensures you maximize all possible points.

5. Clear Sealed Dungeons & Strongholds

These mysterious locations marked with question marks are treasure troves for extra points.

• First-Time Completion: Grants inventory items that provide Daevanion Points.
• Repeatable Runs: Even after the first clear, some dungeons reward repeatable points or other consumables.
• Level Scaling: Older zones become easy once you're higher level—perfect for farming missed points without much risk.

6. Break Skill Caps (Levels 8, 12, 16)

Points are only useful if you place them wisely. Skills gain huge boosts at certain thresholds:

• Level 8: Unlocks the 1st enhancement slot, like “Cast while moving.”
• Level 12: Unlocks the 2nd enhancement slot.
• Level 16: Unlocks the 3rd slot, often transforming the skill's core effect.

Pro Tip: Prioritize reaching these breakpoints on your main damage or healing skills before investing in secondary abilities.

Quick Skill Point Management Tips

• Free Resets: Early game resets are cheap. Don't hesitate to reassign points to hit crucial thresholds. This can help save your aion2 kinah.
• Check Your Inventory: Many points come from consumables. Make sure you've used them after quests or dungeon runs.
• Gear Bonuses: Some equipment adds +1 to [Skill Name]. This is an effortless way to push a skill past a breakpoint without spending Mastery points.
