How Gathering Works in Aion 2

Gathering in Aion 2 is called Essence Extraction. It unlocks at character level 10. Resource nodes sit in fixed spots in the open world and respawn after a while, which is why a map of the nodes makes farming much faster.

The resources map shows gathering nodes for each zone:

The Six Resource Categories

Ore

Orichalcum veins: the only ore node, found all over both home regions.

Orichalcum

Gems

Diamond, Ruby and Sapphire deposits, each found on both the Elyos and Asmodian side.

Diamond, Ruby, Sapphire

Logs

Trees for wood: Yggdrasil on the Elyos side, Asvata on the Asmodian side.

Yggdrasil, Asvata

Herbs

Four herbs, two per faction, each with a rarer "Fresh" version.

Aria, Targena, Azpha, Calendula

Cooking Ingredients

Vegetables and fruit for cooking, three per faction.

Coriolus, Kukuru, Mela, Morfa, Ohkra, Raydam

Odyle

The most common node in the game: in both home regions, Chaotic Lower Reshanta and several dungeon areas.

Odyle

Nodes are spread across Verteron and Altgard, and Odyle also grows in Chaotic Lower Reshanta and several dungeon areas. Every resource has its own page with node counts and a map: browse all Aion 2 resources.

Gathering Skills and Proficiency

Gathering levels up from Novice (levels 1–50) to Professional (51–100), and each level gives skill points for common skills (Proficient Handling, Delicate Touch, Lady Luck) and per-category specialty skills. At Novice 50 you need a Splendent Ruby to upgrade.

Farming Tips

  • Filter the map to one category and loop a tight cluster of nodes instead of crossing the whole zone.
  • Nodes respawn in the same place, so a short loop is faster than chasing single nodes.
  • Crowded spot? Move to the next cluster on the map rather than competing for nodes.
