Key Takeaways
Kinah is thrown at you all through AION 2, yet players burn through millions of it without noticing. Knowing where it comes from, and where it leaks away, decides how fast your character grows. Here is the short version before we go deeper.
- Two currencies: regular Kinah works in the player economy, while Kinah (Bound) only pays for eligible progression costs and cannot be traded.
- Dungeons first: Expeditions and Conquest dungeons are the steadiest income because they give Kinah, gear and upgrade materials in one run.
- Alts raise the ceiling: every character has its own Odyle Energy pool, so a few geared alts multiply what you can claim each week.
- Abyss is the overflow farm: once your limited rewards are spent, open-world Abyss mobs keep paying Kinah, Abyss Points and sellable drops.
- Sell smart: check the Market before any NPC vendor, and craft or gather only when the margin is really there.
Kinah and Kinah (Bound) Explained
Before you chase any farm, get one thing straight: AION 2 has two versions of the same currency, regular Kinah and Kinah (Bound). They look almost identical when they land in your wallet, but they are not equally useful. The Global client describes Kinah simply as the currency used throughout Atreia, while Kinah (Bound) is the same currency but unavailable in certain content.
NC spells the difference out in its official introduction notice for Kinah (Bound). Regular Kinah is the flexible one, because it plugs into the player economy. Kinah (Bound) is mainly meant for eligible character progression costs and other expenses that accept it, and it stays out of the player economy altogether.
| Currency | Main Purpose | Player Economy |
|---|---|---|
| Kinah | Trading, Exchange purchases, storage transfers, Kinah Boxes and general expenses | Yes |
| Kinah (Bound) | Most eligible progression costs and other regular expenses | No |
There is a small mercy built into the system. Whenever a transaction can be paid with the Bound version, the game spends that first and only then touches your regular Kinah. So you never waste the more valuable currency on something trivial by accident.
Why does this matter for farming? Because the same amount is not worth the same in both forms. If a farm gives you 3 million Kinah, you would nearly always rather have those 3 million unbound than bound, since unbound Kinah can buy things from other players and Bound Kinah cannot.
For that reason this guide concentrates on methods that produce regular Kinah or tradeable items you can turn into it. Bound Kinah is still worth having, because AION 2 is full of expensive progression costs. Just do not count it as equal income when you compare one farm against another.
Tip: when you rate a farm, write down how much of its payout is regular Kinah, how much is Bound and how much comes as sellable items. A farm that looks small on paper can beat a bigger one if most of its value is unbound.
Do not assume you can pay for everything with whatever happens to be in your wallet. Anything that goes through the player economy, such as Exchange purchases, needs regular Kinah, so keep a healthy unbound balance instead of burning it all on progression costs that Bound Kinah could have covered.
A good habit is to look at your wallet after each session and ask which of the two currencies grew. If it is mostly Bound, your farm is feeding your own progression and not your buying power, which is fine early on, but it will not help when you need to buy a key item from another player.
Best Ways to Farm Kinah in AION 2
Kinah does not only come from activities that hand you the currency directly. A big slice of your income arrives as tradeable gear, materials, Manastones, Soulstones, Pantheon Artwork and other items that other players are willing to pay for. If you are ready to pick all of that up and sell it, your hourly income looks very different from the number on the reward screen.
That matters even more on Global. In the early weeks the economy should make progression materials far more valuable than they are on older servers, so loot you would normally ignore can suddenly be worth real money.
The best starting point is Expeditions and Conquest dungeons, since they pay Kinah on top of gear and upgrade materials. PvP-flavoured Abyss farming is a second reliable option, because ordinary mobs there can drop Kinah while also dropping materials and gear with market value. Bosses are a much less dependable choice, yet a single rare tradeable drop can be worth more than hours of regular farming. It all comes down to luck. The table below puts every method side by side.
| Farming Method | Main Source of Profit | Reliability | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expeditions and Conquest | Direct Kinah, gear, materials | High | Simple farming |
| Abyss Farming | Kinah, materials, gear, tradeable drops | High | Increased-risk farming |
| Boss Farming | Rare tradeable loot | Low | High-value jackpot drops |
| Market Selling | Selling valuable drops | High | Traders |
| Crafting | Selling profitable crafted items | Variable | Players with spare time |
| Gathering | Raw materials | Variable | Early Global economy |
| Battlefield and Abyss Points | Currency conversion and sellable items | Variable | PvP-focused farming |
| Hidden Cubes and Events | Kinah-related rewards and materials | Low | Extra income |
| Daily and Weekly Activities | Fixed rewards and materials | High | Easy routine income |
The AION 2 dungeons guide covers every dungeon type and its rewards.
The strongest approach is to mix these methods rather than lean on one. Spend your available Energy on worthwhile PvE content first, sell anything valuable you find, and switch to Abyss or market-focused farming once your limited rewards are used up. If you want to see the whole spread of activities, a weekly content checklist is a good companion to this plan, because it shows where the rewards actually sit. If you would rather skip part of the grind, you can also pick up Kinah from our category page and spend your own hours on the content you enjoy.
Note: prices on Global will move fast during the first weeks, and most of the numbers we quote come from the Asian version of the game, where the economy is different. Treat every figure in this guide as a very rough approximation and expect it to change with patches.
Expeditions and Conquest: The Best Consistent Kinah Farm
Expeditions and Conquest dungeons are the most consistent Kinah farms because their income can be planned around Odyle Energy. Odyle Energy regenerates 15 points every 3 hours. That works out to 5 Energy per hour, 120 per day and 840 per week from natural regeneration alone. Keep in mind that this rate applies to players with an active subscription. Free players restore 10 Odyle every 3 hours instead.
Current Global data also lists an Energy cap of 560 without a subscription and 840 with one. Letting your Energy sit at the cap for long stretches is simply lost income, because every point you fail to spend is a dungeon reward you never claimed. In practice you are converting Odyle into Kinah, with extra rewards riding along on top.
The dungeons themselves have Gear Score gates. To make a real profit you need at least 1,400 Gear Score. At that point Urugugu and Vakron open up as your Tier 2 farming options. Urugugu is especially useful for weapons and accessories, while Vakron is the one to run for armor. Once your main reaches around 2,100 Gear Score, Fire Temple and Horn Den become the next big step.
| Dungeon | Tier | Gear Score | Main Farming Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Urugugu Canyon | T2 | 1,400 | Weapons and accessories |
| Vakron Sky Island | T2 | 1,400 | Armor |
| Fire Temple | T3 | 2,100 | Higher-tier gear and Kinah |
| Horn Den | T3 | 2,100 | Higher-tier armor and materials |
For the exact thresholds, see the AION 2 Gear Score guide.
So the plan for your main is simple: farm Urugugu and Vakron until you are around 2,200 Gear Score, then move up to Fire Temple and Horn Den once the character is strong enough. Before that big upgrade you can fit in something like 3 Urugugu runs and 11 Vakron runs, or alternatively 3 Urugugu and 7 Vakron. The exact split depends on your drops, your pity system progress and how much Energy you buy or craft. The same loop works on your alts, which we cover just below.
The Gear Score steps are a little loose, so read them as a range rather than a hard line: the Tier 3 gate is 2,100, and around 2,200 is the comfortable moment to move up. The run counts above may shift with patches as well. If you would rather not spend the time getting a character through these gates, dungeon runs from our store are one way to shortcut it.
How Much Kinah Can Expeditions Make?
With one main character and four alts, weekly dungeon farming can reach roughly 56.8 million Kinah under Taiwan reward values. That is the dungeon income alone, before Abyss, the Market, bosses, gathering or crafting.
The reason the total climbs so high is that each alt has its own Odyle Energy pool. Bring four alts to around 1,400-1,500 Gear Score and you have four extra characters that can farm Tier 2 content, while your main moves on to Fire Temple or Horn Den and the alts stay on Urugugu and Vakron.
The exact Global total will depend on the reward tables and on whether each activity pays regular Kinah or Kinah (Bound). The Energy and Gear Score requirements, however, should be quite accurate. Get your main into Tier 3 content first, and only then bring the alts up to the minimum Gear Score needed for efficient Tier 2 farming.
Farming Kinah with Alts
Here is how to set up your characters for a full alt farm.
| Character | Practical Target | Main Farming Content |
|---|---|---|
| Main | 2,100+ GS | Fire Temple / Horn Den |
| Alt 1 | 1,400-1,500 GS | Urugugu / Vakron |
| Alt 2 | 1,400-1,500 GS | Urugugu / Vakron |
| Alt 3 | 1,400-1,500 GS | Urugugu / Vakron |
| Alt 4 | 1,400-1,500 GS | Urugugu / Vakron |
The expensive part is getting those characters ready in the first place. Some players manage it with about 9 hours per alt to reach around 1,400 Gear Score, once the main is already leveled and geared and can share resources and equipment. That means week one is far more time-consuming than the weeks after it, which is the price of a million-Kinah routine.
There is also a handy gear-sharing trick. Equipment can travel through storage, so your main character’s gear can temporarily help an alt meet progression requirements, improve its equipment, and then be moved back. Even so, avoid over-upgrading alt gear. Enhancement Stones and other early resources are worth much more on the main.
Do the math on Energy and the appeal is obvious. A single character regenerates 840 Odyle Energy per week, so five characters regenerate 4,200 between them, before any crafted or purchased Energy is added. If leveling the extra characters is what holds you back, our powerleveling options can take care of that part.
None of this is mandatory. One well-developed character can farm Kinah perfectly well, so only start investing in alts after your main can comfortably reach the content you enjoy. Alts are also useful for other things, but their main value here is that each one comes with its own Odyle pool.
Abyss Farming
If you like PvP, or at least are not bothered by getting attacked by other players, the Abyss gets much more interesting once your main reaches around 2,200 Gear Score. At that point you can spend roughly 5-6 hours on open-world Abyss farming, mainly to cap your Abyss Points while also collecting regular Kinah and tradeable drops.
The appeal is that one session feeds several income streams at once. Mobs can drop Kinah directly, while the loot pool also includes gear, materials, Manastones, Soulstones and other items that you can sell to other players for Kinah.
It also pairs well with the dungeon plan above. Dungeon rewards are limited by Energy, but the Abyss is open-ended, so it is the natural place to keep earning after your capped content has been cleared.
Think of the Abyss as the second half of a farming day. First you spend your Energy where the rewards are fixed and predictable. Then you walk into the Abyss, where there is no Energy meter to run dry, and keep killing mobs for as long as you feel like playing. The trade-off is that you share the space with other players, so expect the odd fight and plan your gear accordingly.
Turning Abyss Points into Kinah
Abyss Points can be converted into market value as well. Using Taiwan prices, a working reference is about 1 Abyss Point to 18.4 Kinah, reached by buying Abyss-related materials and turning them into sellable items such as Manastones. The table shows what that ratio means at different sizes.
| Abyss Points | Taiwan Reference Value |
|---|---|
| 1,000 | ~18,400 Kinah |
| 10,000 | ~184,000 Kinah |
| 50,000 | ~920,000 Kinah |
| 100,000 | ~1.84 million Kinah |
These are not fixed Global values. The conversion depends entirely on the price of the required materials and of the finished items on your server, so the real number will drift. The ratio is still a good rule of thumb for judging whether Abyss Points are worth converting at all.
Warning: Abyss Points are also what you spend on better PvP gear. Before you convert a big pile into Kinah, make sure you are not draining the points you need for your own upgrades.
Boss Farming and Valuable Drops
Boss farming is a strange one. It is not a dependable way to earn Kinah, and it is certainly less consistent than dungeons, because what you make depends on RNG. The flip side is that a lucky drop can be worth hours of ordinary dungeon farming.
The items to know about are Artwork from the Pantheon system, high-rarity equipment, Refining Stones and other tradeable loot. AION 2 shows boss drop tables right in the game, so check them before you commit time to a particular target.
Two bosses make good examples: High Overseer Nutah and Enraged Guardian Lord Nahma.
| Boss | Notable Tradeable Drops |
|---|---|
| High Overseer Nutah | Artwork: High Overseer Nutah, Epic Nutah armor, Unique equipment, Refining Stones |
| Enraged Guardian Lord Nahma | Artwork: Guardian Lord Nahma, Colossus: Guardian Lord Nahma, Unique Nahma gear, Refining Stones |
Artwork is the most interesting entry. It belongs to the Pantheon system and can be traded, and the database marks Artwork: Guardian Lord Nahma as tradeable and obtainable from monsters. In Taiwan some Artwork has been listed above 10 million Kinah, and especially desirable pieces have gone much higher. Nobody can say what it will fetch on Global, but it is likely to be a lot.
Before you commit, open the drop table of the boss you are considering and read it like a shopping list. Ask which of the listed items are tradeable, which are only useful to you, and how many players are likely to be chasing the same thing. A table full of items you cannot sell is a bad deal for a Kinah farm, however impressive the boss looks.
Boss farming also comes with risks you should accept up front:
- Zero return: you can spend a whole session and walk away with nothing worth selling.
- Artwork carries the value: most of the high reward comes from Artwork, not from the other drops.
- Gear or party: bigger bosses need a higher Gear Score or a group.
- Eligibility: reward eligibility can depend on participation or contribution.
- Price swings: market value can fluctuate, so a drop may be worth less tomorrow.
Because of that, bosses are a high-risk, high-reward side activity. They are worth exploring in addition to your dungeon farming, not instead of it.
Make Kinah Through the Market
A large part of your Kinah income will come from recognising which tradeable items other players actually need and selling them, instead of dumping everything on an NPC. This matters most during the first weeks of Global, when even basic progression materials can be expensive because thousands of players are upgrading gear, crafting and finishing weekly objectives at the same moment.
Interested in professions? The AION 2 crafting guide explains gathering and crafting.
Before you sell any tradeable item, look at the Market first. Refining Stones, Manastones, Soulstones, crafting materials, rare equipment, Pantheon Artwork and dungeon or boss drops can all be worth far more to another player than their NPC sell value. Pay special attention to anything required by a current progression system or a weekly objective.
Note: you need an active subscription that allows the player Market and trading. There is also no direct player-to-player trade, so everything goes through the Market or the auction.
One system that can cause sudden price spikes is Supply Request. The game has both Supply Request: Emergency and Supply Request: Weekly, and the weekly version can ask players to deliver specific Rare or Epic items, gear or gathered materials. An otherwise forgettable gear piece can become much more valuable if the weekly request suddenly needs it, so keep that system in your weekly routine.
These are the item types worth price-checking before you sell:
- Refining Stones and higher-grade refining materials
- Lesser, Intermediate and Superior Manastones
- Soulstones and related crafting materials
- Rare and Epic gear
- Pantheon Artwork
- Items required for Supply Requests
- Boss and dungeon drops with limited supply
Values change all the time, which is why they deserve regular attention. The simple rule is to never sell your extras to an NPC vendor by reflex. A thirty-second look at the Market costs nothing and, now and then, is worth a lot.
It also helps to separate what you keep from what you sell. Keep the materials your own main character needs for the next upgrade, and treat the rest as stock to move while demand is high. In the opening weeks that demand comes from everyone upgrading at once, so a surplus item that will be nearly worthless in a month can still be sold at a good price today.
Crafting for Profit
Crafting can earn serious Kinah too, but only when the finished item is worth more than what goes into it. Never craft something for sale without checking the material cost first. If the materials are worth 300 million Kinah and the finished item sells for 280 million, that craft is a loss, even if some of the materials were already sitting in your storage.
There is an interesting twist, though. AION 2 uses plenty of Bound materials. Those cannot be sold to other players, so putting them into a profitable craft can turn otherwise locked resources into something with market value. Your real out-of-pocket cost is therefore lower than the full market value of every ingredient, which is why you should calculate profit from what you actually need to buy.
The catch is that, on top of the active subscription needed for the player Market, you must invest time in leveling professions, both gathering and crafting ones, before you can make anything worth selling.
The AION 2 leveling guide walks you through the route to level 45.
A good example is Manastone crafting through Alchemy. The database lists Intermediate Manastone at Beginner Lv. 20 with this recipe.
| Ingredient | Amount |
|---|---|
| Lesser Manastone | 5 |
| Spiritstone Powder | 3 |
| Professional Ink (Bound) | 2 |
The same craft has a 20 percent Combo Product chance to produce a Superior Manastone instead. That bonus outcome matters when you estimate long-term profit, because the average value of repeated crafts is higher than the value of the Intermediate Manastones alone.
A direct Superior Manastone recipe appears later in Alchemy. At Mastery 85 it requires 30 Intermediate Manastones, 10 Spiritstone Powder and 2 Exceptional Ink (Bound). So the Manastone chain has several points where market prices can open up a profitable conversion, and it pays to check each step against current prices.
Run the numbers with today’s prices before every serious craft, and count the Bound ingredients you already own at zero cost. Manastones and other high-demand progression items are where the margin is most likely to hide.
A simple way to keep yourself honest is to write the sum on a note before you start: what you must buy, what you already own as Bound materials, and what the finished item sells for. If the result is thin, skip the craft and sell the materials you could trade, or hold them until the price recovers.
Gathering for Kinah
Gathering is one of the simplest ways to make Kinah, because you pick the resource up and sell it. Everything comes down to how efficiently you can hit gathering spots, and you do not have to spend time leveling crafting professions to profit from it.
Use the first weeks of Global to your advantage. That is when nearly everything sells well: materials, crafted gear, basically anything another player needs for progression.
AION 2 currently lists 61 gathering resources in its game data. They include Odyle, Ore, Rare Ore, Logs, Flowers, Gems, Herbs, Fruits, Vegetables and Aquatic Life. Many resources also come in higher-quality grades, such as Fine, Pure and Radiant materials. Here are some useful examples.
| Resource | Example Higher Grades | Main Use |
|---|---|---|
| Odyle | Fine Odyle, Pure Odyle, Radiant Odyle | Weapons, armor, higher-tier crafting |
| Orichalcum Ore | Fine, Pure, Radiant Orichalcum Ore | Blacksmithing and Armorsmithing |
| Yggdrasil Log | Fine, Pure, Radiant Yggdrasil Log | Elyos crafting |
| Asvata Log | Fine, Pure, Radiant Asvata Log | Asmodian crafting |
| Sapphire Gemstone | Fine, Pure, Radiant Sapphire Gemstone | Handicrafting |
| Diamond Gemstone | Fine, Pure, Radiant Diamond Gemstone | Handicrafting |
| Ruby Gemstone | Fine, Pure, Radiant Ruby Gemstone | Handicrafting |
These materials have real demand because they appear directly in crafting recipes. A basic Orichalcum Greatsword, for instance, requires 3 Orichalcum Ingots, 5 Refining Stones and 2 Odyle, while higher-grade weapons start consuming Fine, Pure and Radiant Orichalcum Ore along with the matching Odyle grades.
That is why you should not farm whichever node is simply the easiest to find. Compare the current Market price with how quickly you can collect the resource. A material selling for 20,000 Kinah that you can gather again and again may beat something technically rarer that takes much longer to find or barely sells.
Gathering also fits neatly around other activities. Because it needs no recipe knowledge, it works as filler between dungeon runs or while you wait for your Energy to refill, and every higher-grade Fine, Pure or Radiant drop is a small bonus on top of the base material. Just remember that the higher grades only matter if buyers want them, so glance at the Market from time to time to see which grade is actually moving.
Battlefield and Other PvP Income
If you prefer PvP to PvE in AION 2, you probably enjoyed the first game as well. Either way, you can farm Kinah in PvP activities beyond the PvPvE Abyss.
On the Asian version, Battlefield currently rewards 3,000 Abyss Points for a win and 1,000 Abyss Points for participation, and each reward can be claimed up to three times per week. Arena rewards are smaller but have much higher weekly limits: 500 AP for a win and 300 AP for participation.
| PvP Reward | Abyss Points | Weekly Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Battlefield Win | 3,000 AP | 3 |
| Battlefield Participation | 1,000 AP | 3 |
| Arena Win | 500 AP | 30 |
| Arena Participation | 300 AP | 10 |
With the Taiwan reference of roughly 18.4 Kinah per Abyss Point, three Battlefield wins represent about 165,600 Kinah in conversion value. The math looks like this:
- 3,000 AP x 3 wins = 9,000 AP
- 9,000 AP x 18.4 Kinah = ~165,600 Kinah
Add all three participation rewards and you gain another 3,000 AP, which brings the Battlefield total to 12,000 AP, or roughly 220,800 Kinah at the same Taiwan rate.
Arena offers even more rewards. Thirty wins at 500 AP each equal 15,000 AP, and ten participation rewards add another 3,000 AP. That makes 18,000 AP in total, which would correspond to about 331,200 Kinah using the same reference conversion.
Then comes the real decision: do you actually want to turn Abyss Points into Kinah, knowing these points also buy better PvP gear? There is no single right answer. Choose according to whether your character needs gear or currency more right now.
One more thing worth noting is that all of these figures use the Taiwan conversion rate and the Asian reward values. They are a guide to the relative size of each activity, not a promise of what Global will pay, so redo the sums once the Global prices settle.
Hidden Cubes, Shugo Festival and Events
Hidden Cubes, Shugo Festival and limited-time events are not main Kinah farms, but they can add a useful amount of extra value to a normal weekly routine. Most of that value comes as materials and progression items rather than big direct Kinah payouts. They are also time-gated content that resets weekly, so skipping them means the reward is gone.
Hidden Cubes require keys and can reward items such as Manastones, Soulstones, crafting materials, Stigma-related items, resurrection items and Kinah-related rewards. The results are heavily RNG-driven, so treat them as bonus income, not something to build your whole session around.
Shugo Festival
Shugo Festival is a rotating set of minigames with its own reward structure. The Global client includes activities such as Jump Jump, Mysterious Track, Odyle Fight Frenzy, Defend Shugo Merchants, Not This Tile?, Wraith Evasion, Hidden Lugi, Goldrin’s Treasure and Up! Up! Up!. They become active every hour on the hour.
These activities use Shugo Festival Reward Keys, and each minigame offers a different reward pool. That makes the festival worth checking regularly, especially when the available rewards include materials or progression items that sell well on the Market.
Because the minigames start on the hour, the festival is easy to slot into a session: when a new round opens, take a quick turn between other tasks, then go back to your farm. Treat it as a low-effort extra and not as a reason to log in at a fixed time every hour.
Best Kinah Farming Routine
Once your character reaches the maximum level, which should be your first priority anyway, and you have built up a respectable Gear Score, you will have a long list of farming methods to choose from. Here is a sensible order of priority.
- Spend Odyle Energy before it caps. Expeditions and Conquest come first because their rewards are limited by Energy.
- Claim the best dungeon rewards first. Once the cumulative reward rate starts dropping, each extra run is worth less.
- Use alts only when they are ready. Bring them in once they can clear worthwhile content efficiently, and do not sink time into weak alts just to raise the character count.
- Clear useful PvP and Abyss activities. They add Abyss Points, direct Kinah and tradeable drops.
- Use the Abyss for open-ended farming. After the limited rewards are mostly exhausted, mob farming is a good place to keep generating value.
- Check the Market before selling anything valuable. Rare gear, Manastones, Soulstones, Refining Stones, Pantheon Artwork and weekly-request items can be worth much more than their NPC price.
- Craft or gather only when the margin makes sense. Compare current material prices with the value of the finished item or raw resource first.
- Add bosses and events on top. They are excellent bonus opportunities, but do not rely on them for steady weekly income.
Pick your poison, as they say. The order matters more than any single method, because it makes sure your limited rewards are used before you move on to the open-ended ones.
The common mistakes are easy to list, and every one of them wastes Kinah. Letting Odyle Energy sit at its cap, selling tradeable drops to an NPC without a glance at the Market, upgrading alt gear with resources your main needs more, crafting at a loss, and converting Abyss Points you still need for your own gear. Avoid those five and you are already ahead of most players.
If the schedule is too tight for the full routine, the Aion 2 store is there for the parts you would rather skip.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the fastest way to farm Kinah in AION 2?
For consistent income, start with Expeditions and Conquest, since they combine direct Kinah with gear and materials. Once the limited dungeon rewards are used up, Abyss farming, Market sales and boss drops are the best ways to keep earning.
What is the difference between Kinah and Kinah (Bound)?
Regular Kinah is the unrestricted version, used in the player economy and in systems that specifically require normal Kinah. Kinah (Bound) is mainly for eligible progression costs and cannot replace regular Kinah everywhere. When you compare farming methods, value regular Kinah higher, because it gives you far more flexibility.
How much Kinah can I make per week?
There is no fixed weekly amount, because it depends on your Gear Score, Odyle Energy, dungeon tier, subscription benefits and the number of alts you use. With one main and four alts, a Taiwan reference puts dungeon rewards alone at roughly 56.8 million Kinah per week, before Abyss farming, Market sales, bosses, gathering or crafting. If you want to shortcut the grind, you can get Kinah here instead.
Are alts necessary for farming Kinah?
No. A single well-developed character can still make plenty of Kinah. Alts mainly raise your weekly ceiling by giving you additional Odyle Energy pools and more chances to claim profitable dungeon rewards.
Is Abyss farming good for Kinah?
Yes, especially after your limited PvE rewards are exhausted. The value comes from direct Kinah, tradeable gear, Manastones, Soulstones, Refining Stones, crafting materials and Abyss Points rather than from one large fixed payout.
Should I sell gear to NPCs or on the Market?
Check the Market first whenever the item is tradeable. Rare gear, boss drops, Supply Request items, Manastones, Refining Stones and Pantheon Artwork can be worth far more to another player than their NPC sell price.
Is crafting profitable in AION 2?
It can be, but only when the finished item is worth more than the materials and mandatory costs. Work out the current market value before every serious craft, especially for Manastones and other high-demand progression items.
What should I spend Kinah on first?
Early on, put it into progression costs that directly improve your main character and unlock better farming content. Spending heavily on secondary characters or overpriced Market items too soon can slow your access to the higher-tier activities that generate more Kinah later.
