AION 2 Papis Pet: Fera Family, Altgard Source and Level-Up Costs

✓ Last verified 2026-10-22 · How we check facts

Quick answer

Papis is a common Fera-family pet in AION 2. The aion2pets.app record ties it to Faded Papis, a level 17 monster in Altgard, and video guides confirm the soul costs for leveling it.

The AION 2 papis pet is a common Fera-family companion. The aion2pets.app record lists one monster source for it, Faded Papis, a level 17 monster in Altgard, and it also lists several other acquisition categories. This AION 2 papis pet page explains that record, the Fera Level 3 effects, the soul steps that video guides confirm and how to plan a farming route. It keeps three systems apart: Pet Insight is this pet's own level, Owned Effects are the permanent stats it gives once owned, and Genus Insight is the Fera board that pet EXP feeds.

Where the AION 2 Papis Pet Comes From

According to the aion2pets.app record, the monster source is Faded Papis, level 17, in Altgard, and the record maps 96 spawn points for it. Those points show where spawns were recorded. They do not show drop rates, respawn times or how efficient a route is, and the site behind the record says the same.

Acquisition categoryRecord entryPractical note
MonstersFaded Papis, level 17, AltgardRecord level, not a minimum character level
Black Cloud MerchantsListed as a categorySeveral videos say the pet tab refreshes every hour
Chests, Achievements, Ascension TrialListed as categoriesThe record does not name a specific chest or achievement

Video guides name Altgard as the Asmodian farm map. One video also names a Pappus in Altgard as an Asmodian Fera monster. That spelling is not confirmed, and it may refer to the same target as Papis, so check the name in the Sources tab before you travel.

Level 3 Fera Effects and Owned Effects

The record lists the Level 3 Fera effects as Mount Ground Move Speed +3, Accuracy Bonus +2 and Dexterity +1. The record also warns that each box shows the running total at that level, not the increase, so read the three values as totals. Owned Effects work without riding the pet, according to two or more videos, and the Fera family stats in videos are mount ground speed, accuracy and Dexterity.

Pet levelRecord stepSoul step in video guides
Level 1Unlock, with the Mount ability5 souls to unlock
Level 2Mount Glide per the record25 more duplicate souls
Level 3Transform per the record, plus Fera effects75 more duplicate souls

Video guides disagree on the glide level, with reports of Level 3 and Level 5, while the record lists Level 2. The record also lists Genus Insight EXP of 500 at unlock and 250 per later level, but some videos say 500 per pet and others say 250 per step, so the EXP figure is unsettled. Check both in your own client before you plan around them.

Planning Papis Soul Farming

  1. Open the pet menu and use the Sources tab to see the rough area and the nearest teleport. It does not show the exact monster, according to one global video.
  2. Use a third-party spawn map only as a guide to where to stand. Spawn markers do not establish drop rates.
  3. Farm at a combat power that kills monsters quickly. One global video advises this because slow kills waste time.
  4. If a spot is contested, switch to another listed location. Two or more global videos give this advice.
  5. Pick up dropped souls with F. Two or more videos say souls drop on the ground and need pickup.
  6. Budget for the full Level 3 cost, which is 105 souls in total: 5 to unlock, 25 more for Level 2 and 75 more for Level 3.

The level 17 shown in the record is a record level, not the minimum level your character needs, as the record itself warns. Plan your fights around your own character's strength.

Papis Compared With Other Fera Pets

Common pets in the same family give the same effects in the record, so the choice between Papis and the other Fera pets is mostly about where you can farm and how long the route takes, not which stats you get. The table below compares Papis with Fossa, the other Fera pet that has a page on this site.

PetMain monster recordLevel 3 Fera effects
PapisFaded Papis, level 17, AltgardMount Ground Move Speed +3, Accuracy Bonus +2, Dexterity +1
FossaPatrolling Fossa, level 25, Verteron, with two more monster recordsThe same Fera values in the record

If your farm time is limited to Verteron, the AION 2 Fossa Pet guide covers the records in that area. The Papis route stays in Altgard, so compare the travel time before choosing.

Pet EXP feeds Genus Insight, which is a separate system from the pet's own level. One global guide lists the Fera board slot 4 options as weapon damage boost, damage boost and PvE damage boost. Many videos advise against locking any stat before level 9 on a board, and ideally waiting for level 10. The AION 2 Genus Insight Boards page covers the board layout in more detail.
