AION 2 Genus Insight Cost: Crystals and Kina per Roll, Locks and Board Levels

AION 2 genus insight cost is the price of rolling the five boards in Genus Insight, paid in insight crystals and kina. Every roll spends both, and every locked stat raises the price of the next roll. The figures below come from individual video guides, so they show the order of magnitude rather than a fixed price list. This page sets out the reported AION 2 genus insight cost figures, the budgeting order that guides recommend and the difference between Genus Insight costs and Pet Insight costs.

The global release went live on October 5, 2026, and NC's launch notice is at NC's launch announcement. That notice does not list roll or lock costs, so every number on this page is a community report and is labeled with its source.

AION 2 Genus Insight Cost: Reported Figures

Several guides report the same no-lock baseline, and the other figures come from one or two videos each. The table lists the most-repeated numbers. Check your client before you plan a long run, because prices can differ between builds.

The first row is the number to remember. Every extra lock pushes the price up, which is why the fishing row is so expensive. The guides that report it describe it as one line at a time, and they advise setting a target before you start.

Budgeting Your First Board

Guides recommend a simple order for a new board, and it keeps the AION 2 genus insight cost under control. Feed pet EXP and crystals until the board reaches level 9. Hold your locks until then. Roll slot 4 first, then build a decent first preset. Only after that should you spend on a min-max second preset.

Auto analysis makes budgeting harder. Several videos say it spends kina and crystals until the target is hit, so a vague goal can drain a budget quickly. Set the target line before you start, and stop the run as soon as you have what you need.

Keep Pet Insight separate in your head. Pet Insight is the level 1 to 3 progress of one pet, and it uses souls, not crystals. Video guides report 5 souls to unlock a common pet, 25 more duplicate souls for level 2 and 75 more for level 3. Those are soul costs, and they do not change the crystal or kina price of a Genus Insight roll.

Where the Cost Comes From

Crystals are the main part of the AION 2 genus insight cost on every roll. The AION 2 insight crystals guide lists the colors and sources that video guides report, and it explains why rainbow crystals are the safest fill when a board color runs short.

Kina is the second cost. Many guides say the kina spend rises fastest when you lock several lines, so the lock table in the AION 2 stat locking guide is the place to check if you are planning a heavy run.

Cost Versus Progress

The cost of a roll matters less early on than it does later. Guides advise waiting for level 9 or 10 before you lock, since heroic lines start to appear around that point and locks become worth paying for. Before that, the main spend is EXP and crystals fed into the board.

Guides also point out that the source of your crystals changes the price you feel. Crystals from extra kills of a max-level pet are the steady source, while duties and command scrolls add more. If your farm runs on kills, the crystal cost of a roll is mostly a question of how many max-level pets you can farm in a session.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many crystals does one AION 2 genus insight roll cost?

Two global videos report about 36 crystals and 9,000 kina for a roll with no locks. Each lock raises that price, so the cost depends on how many lines you hold.

Q: Does the AION 2 genus insight cost change when I lock stats?

Yes. Several guides report that each locked stat raises the cost of the next roll. One video gives about 172 crystals and 43,000 kina with five locks, and another lists a different step size, so check your own client.

Q: How many crystals does it take to bring an AION 2 genus insight board to level 9?

One video estimates roughly 10,000 crystals for one board to reach level 9, before farming for a specific stat. Treat that as a rough figure from a single source.

Q: Is the AION 2 genus insight cost the same in every region?

The sources do not confirm that. Some figures come from Korean or Taiwan footage recorded before the global launch, so check the price in your own client before you plan a large run.
