AION 2 party, Force and group play

Party size, the party finder's roles, every group dungeon and what your own group can run — from the game's tables.

A party is up to 5 players: Expedition and Transcendence dungeons take 5, Subjugation 4, and the Sanctuary raid 10 (a Force). The game's party finder has three roles — Tank (Templar, Gladiator), Healer (Cleric, Chanter) and DPS — and Gladiator and Chanter can choose roles. The Arena runs 1 vs 1, 5 vs 5, 10 vs 10. You can only party, friend or whisper players in your own server group.

Check your group

Our check: a member can enter a mode when their equipped Item Level is at least the mode's (Dungeon/MapEntrance), and the group fits the mode's member range (Dungeon RecommendMin/MaxMember). Modes above the level cap (not open yet) are left out. Send the link to your group.

Your group

Tap a class to add a member, then type their equipped Item Level.

Up to 10 members (a Sanctuary Force).

Add yourself and the people you play with. The list shows every group dungeon your whole group can enter now, who is short on Item Level for the next one, and whether someone can tank and heal.

Party roles, as the party finder names them

The party finder's tooltip, unchanged: “Gladiator and Chanter can choose roles.”

TankProtect others from enemies.

DPSDeal massive damage to enemies.

HealerRestore HP of party members.

The client does not say how many of each role a dungeon needs; the Sanctuary text asks for “Careful preparation and proper role assignment are essential for success”. Which class fits playing alone, healing or tanking by its skills is counted on the class picker.

Sprout Badge: helping new players

RewardMentor; the badge popup text, unchanged.

When a Daeva with a Sprout Badge claims an Odyle Energy Cube reward, the same cube reward count is also distributed to other Daeva in their party or Force.

Reward count is reset weekly.

※ Event Period: 07/01/2026 - Until further notice

Reward row	The helper gets	Per clear
S4_Energy_20	Small Odyle Energy of Gratitude (Bound)× 1	2
S4_Energy_30	Small Odyle Energy of Gratitude (Bound)× 1	2
S4_Energy_40	Small Odyle Energy of Gratitude (Bound)× 2	2
S4_Energy_60	Small Odyle Energy of Gratitude (Bound)× 3	2
S4_Energy_80	Small Odyle Energy of Gratitude (Bound)× 4	2

Our reading of the row names: “Energy_20…80” is the Odyle Energy of the cube the Sprout claims, and the helper's refills grow with it.

Questions

What is the party size in AION 2?

Up to 5. The dungeon table's member range is 1–5 for Expedition dungeons and up to 5 for Transcendence; Subjugation takes 1–4. The Sanctuary raid takes exactly 10, which is a Force — the game's word for a raid group; Once changed to a Force, you cannot change back to a Party. Are you sure you wish to change to a Force?

Does AION 2 have raids?

Yes: Sanctuary, “A 10-player raid mode that is available on a weekly basis.” The client lists 3 Sanctuary dungeons; 1 is open at the level cap today, from Item Level 2,800. It opens at level 45 (ContentsUnlock).

Which classes can tank or heal in AION 2?

The party finder's own tooltip: Tank — Templar, Gladiator; Healer — Cleric, Chanter; every other class is DPS. “Gladiator and Chanter can choose roles.” The client does not say how many of each a dungeon needs.

Can you play AION 2 dungeons solo?

Some modes: the member range starts at 1 for the Exploration difficulty of most Expedition dungeons, for Subjugation and for a few Transcendence dungeons. Others start at 2, and the Sanctuary needs 10. The check on this page lists them for a group of one.

How do I play with friends in AION 2?

Add them (up to 50 friends, 50 pending requests) and invite from the party window's Friends tab — “Only currently online friends are displayed.” You must share a server group: the client answers “Cannot invite a character in a different server group.” and “Cannot send friend request to a character in a different server group.” Which servers form a group is set by the live servers, not stored in the client.

How does the kick vote work?

Votes start from 3 members. In a party every other member must agree (unanimity on); in a Force it is not unanimous — the table only switches unanimity off, the share needed is decided by the server (GlobalSetting kickout_vote_*).

When is the Arena of Tactics open?

11:00–14:00 and 19:00–21:00 server time every day (MatchingSchedule), 10 vs 10. The timers page counts down to it in your own time.

What is the Sprout Badge?

When a Daeva with a Sprout Badge claims an Odyle Energy Cube reward, the same cube reward count is also distributed to other Daeva in their party or Force. Reward count is reset weekly. ※ Event Period: 07/01/2026 - Until further notice In the reward table, the helper receives Odyle Energy refills by the cube's size (RewardMentor), up to 2 per clear.
