If you’re stepping into the fast-paced world of AION 2 PvP, having the right gear can make the difference between dominating the battlefield or getting wiped out in seconds. In this guide, we break down the Aion 2 best PvP gear, explain the rules for buying.

What’s the Real Rule for Buying Abyss Gear in AION 2?

The community takes two sides, but when you look closely, a clear pattern shows up:

Rule #1 — Don’t splurge on everything. Only buy select cheap pieces before 50.

Most veterans agree:

Rings, earrings, necklaces, and maybe boots are worth buying early because they’re cheap, give huge stat value, and don’t delay your endgame. These pieces don’t punish your AP savings too much.

Rule #2 — Do NOT buy mid-tier weapons, chest, or legs. Save for 50.

Everyone agrees these cost an arm and a leg and will delay your level 50 gear massively. The power spike from 50 Abyss gear is so huge that buying mid-level armor is basically throwing AP away.

Rule #3 — Mid-level gear only makes sense if you struggle in PvP.

A few players say:“Buy it if it helps you kill the savers.”Basically: if you’re dying a lot and losing AP anyway, getting some cheaper Abyss pieces now might stabilize your AP gain.

Rule #4 — Rank matters more than you think.

If you save AP, you keep your rank high → but that means: Dying costs you more AP. A low-ranked player killing a high-ranked saver gains huge AP. So splurgers have an advantage early:

• Low rank = low AP loss

• Cheap Abyss gear = PvP advantage

• Killing savers = big AP reward

This is why saving early can feel punishing.

Rule #5 — Level 30 gold set is optional but strong.

Several players point out: The level 30 gold Abyss set, when enchanted, can carry you all the way to 50. If you have multiple characters, you can farm the level 30 quest set and share it — a slow but free alternative.

Rule #6 — Skills > Gear while leveling.

A very important point: Buying your key Stigmas and passives is way more valuable than buying armor before 40+.

AION 2 Best Abyss PvP Gear 

1. Start with Tier 1 PvP Gear

Tier 1 gear is accessible immediately using ABC points. It gives PvP-specific stats like PvP attack boost, PvP defense, and damage tolerance. Even low-level PvP gear can outperform high-level PvE gear in PvP situations.

Focus First:

Start with offensive accessories if you are DPS. Start with defensive accessories if you are a tank/healer.

Accessories: Rings, Earrings, Necklace

Strategy:

Buy Tier 1 accessories first → then proceed to Tier 1 armor/gear. These are not gated by medals, making them fast to acquire.

2. Move to Tier 2 & 3 Gear Gradually

Requires specific medals in addition to ABC points. Tier 3 and Tier 4 are harder to access and require multiple rare medals.

Strategy:

Only pursue these after completing Tier 1 and understanding your gameplay role. Focus on medals for the gear that aligns with your offensive or defensive role.

3. Upgrade Gear Step-by-Step

Use the Soul Bind system to:

Roll desired stats multiple times. Increase soul bind rate to 100% for maxed stats. This ensures that your gear maximizes PvP effectiveness, especially in PvP-only encounters.

4. Legendary / Tier 4 Gear

Gating:

Hardest to obtain; medals drop rarely from high-tier bosses. Traits are difficult to roll for exact PvP stats.

Recommendation:

Casual players should avoid early investment here. Focus on building Tier 1–3 PvP gear first before attempting legendary PvP items.
