AION 2 Pet Farming Guide: Spots, Souls, XP and Farming Map Basics

AION 2 Pet Farming Basics

AION 2 pet farming is the loop that turns open-world kills into pet souls, and those souls into unlocked and leveled pets. Video guides of the global version report the same core cycle: find the monster that matches the pet you want, kill it, pick up the soul it drops, and repeat until the pet unlocks. This AION 2 pet farming hub explains that cycle, names the farming areas that guides point to, and links to every detailed farming page on this site.

Pet progress is shared by characters on the same server, according to several global videos. That means a farming session on one character can help the rest of your roster, which changes how you should split your time between alts. The sharing rules come from global guides, so check the in-game behavior on your own server before you plan a long session.

Where Elyos and Asmodians Usually Farm

Video guides of the global version report that Elyos farm Verteron and Asmodians farm Altgard. Those open-world maps are the first place to check for AION 2 pet farming. One global video lists more specific spots for each faction, shown in the table below. Treat these as starting points, because a spawn list does not guarantee a drop.

One global video says about half of the pets live in the other faction's territory and some live in the Abyss. A guide recorded during the global scale test describes the space-time rift in PvE mode as the route to the other faction's monsters. The AION 2 pet farming map page explains how to read the Sources tab and third-party spawn maps for those zones.

Souls, XP, Dungeons and Cubes

Pet souls are the first resource in AION 2 pet farming. Each kill gives one soul of that monster, and the soul drops on the ground and needs pickup with F, as two or more global videos report. Five souls unlock a pet. The AION 2 pet souls page lists the duplicate costs for higher levels and the other soul sources that guides name.

Pet milestones also add Genus EXP to the boards. Guides disagree on the amount, so the AION 2 pet XP farming page explains the fast areas that guides name and how to plan around the uncertainty.

The AION 2 pet daily dungeon page covers the chest counts that pre-launch guides describe and why the weekly entry numbers differ between videos. The AION 2 hidden cube page covers cube keys, the sound setting that guides use to find cubes, and the reward types they list.

The official PET section describes pets as companions that follow you, transform into rideable mounts and can provide benefits such as auto-looting. The NC AION 2 contents page has the official wording.

Planning a Farming Session

Plan each session around three questions: which pet you want, which open-world spot guides name for it, and whether the pet menu shows a source you can reach. The table below turns the common guide advice into steps for AION 2 pet farming.

The Best pets to farm video from SimDEX covers the order in which global guides suggest farming pet families, which is the next question most players ask.

Pet Families to Farm First

Global videos advise farming Cogni first for offense and Natura for Precision, then the rest, because owned pets help even when they are not equipped. Within a family, common pets give the same effects according to the aion2pets.app record, so the family and the source you can reach matter more than any single pet name.

Special pets are not a farming target. Several guides say they cannot be farmed or leveled by kills, and they come from events, battle passes, the cash shop, founder packs and pre-registration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How does AION 2 pet farming start for a new player?

A: Find the open-world monster that matches the pet you want, kill it, and pick up the soul it drops. Five souls unlock a pet, according to two or more global videos, and the pet menu Sources tab shows the area to check first.

Q: Can Special pets be part of AION 2 pet farming?

A: No. Several global guides say Special pets cannot be farmed or leveled by kills, so their sources are events, battle passes, the cash shop, founder packs and pre-registration.

A: No. Video guides of the global version report that each owned pet gives a permanent Owned Effect without riding it.

Q: Is a spawn map enough to plan AION 2 pet farming?

A: Not on its own. The aion2pets.app record warns that spawn markers do not establish drop rates, respawn times or route efficiency, so use the map as a starting point and compare it with the guides.
