A checklist of everything worth doing every day and every week in Aion 2's global version, with countdowns to the daily and Wednesday weekly resets for your region, ticks that clear themselves at each reset, and what each activity pays.

Work out how many tries an Aion 2 enhancement takes on average, from +10 to +15, through the five Breakthrough steps, or for a rune that breaks on failure, from NC's published odds and its failure bonus, with your own cost per try.

Enter your Aion 2 item level and see where you stand among the tiers global players describe after level 45, from 1,000 to 2,100 and above, with how each tier is reached and which dungeons it opens.

Search every timestamped video moment on the Aion 2 viki by topic, a boss, a skill, a dungeon or a system, and play the exact second of the creator's video that shows it, without scrubbing through a 40-minute guide.

Work out how many Aion 2 dungeon reward cubes your Odyle Energy opens now, when it will be full, and how much you will lose while away, from the global version's refill of 15 energy every three hours.

Live countdowns to Aion 2's daily and weekly resets, the Wednesday maintenance, every Spacetime Rift and each Shugo Festa round on the North American and European servers, in your own time zone, with reminders and calendar files, and what is known about field boss timers.

The Aion 2 characters readers have looked up on Vi.ki, ranked class by class by item level or Combat Power, with how many each board ranks. These are Vi.ki's lookups, not NC's rankings; every name opens that character's gear, skills and Daevanion boards.
