What is the AION 2 pet system?

AION 2 pets are collectible companions that follow you around, transform into rideable mounts, and can provide benefits such as auto-looting, according to NC's official pet page. Companions come from five families: Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian, and Special.

What is the max pet level in AION 2?

The global client caps regular pets at level 3 according to several video guides; the Korea and Taiwan versions go up to level 5. Multiple videos say the second Insight level unlocks mount gliding and the third unlocks transform, with some disagreement on the exact glide level.

How do AION 2 pet mounts work?

Every pet you own can also be ridden as a mount, which NC's official pet page confirms. Video guides add that owning and leveling pets grants permanent Owned Effects, while the mount appearance itself gives no extra stats.

Are there active AION 2 pet codes?

No global coupon code is verifiably active as of this wiki's latest check. The global launch code TAKEFLIGHTAION2 expired in mid-October 2026, and the Korean summer coupon was never confirmed for the global version, so this wiki lists no codes.

What are the free AION 2 launch gift mounts?

NC gives players two free mounts just for logging in during the global launch window. You must create an AION 2 account by early December 2026 and claim the reward from your in-game mail before it expires; check the official event page for the exact deadline.
