AION 2 Black Cloud Merchant Guide: Pet Tab Refresh, Souls and Value

AION 2 Black Cloud Merchant: What the Pet Tab Sells

The AION 2 black cloud merchant has a pet tab, and guides recorded before and after the global launch agree that it refreshes every hour. Several sources say it sells pets, including bosses' souls and pets that have no current monster source. This page covers what the tab offers, whether guides think it is worth buying, and how stock works across alts.

Officially, the Black Cloud Merchant is not described in detail in the saved text, so the points below come from guides and the aion2pets.app record. The table lists each point with its attribution.

The merchant is also listed as an acquisition category by the aion2pets.app record, which is why it appears among the pet sources on the AION 2 pet chests hub.

AION 2 Black Cloud Merchant: Is It Worth It?

Guides mostly call the merchant poor value, with one exception. Several global and pre-launch guides say it is worth buying only for bosses or one specific pet. Discounts of 30 percent or 50 percent were seen in one Korea and Taiwan guide, so check the current offer before you spend.

Before you buy, check whether the pet you want has a source you can reach. The AION 2 pet farming map page explains the pet menu Sources tab, which is the quickest way to decide.

AION 2 Black Cloud Merchant: Souls and Alts

One purchase from the pet tab gives 5 souls, according to a pre-launch guide and a global early access guide. Those souls count toward the level costs described on the AION 2 pet souls page, so a purchase can replace some open-world farming for a pet you need.

Five souls is the unlock cost in the guides, so one purchase can unlock a pet, but the level 2 and level 3 steps still need duplicate souls. Use the merchant as one input to the soul plan rather than the whole plan.

Each alt has its own Black Cloud Merchant stock, according to one global guide. Pet progress is shared by characters on the same server, so the stock difference matters mainly when you plan which character should shop. The AION 2 pet sharing page explains how progress is shared between characters.

AION 2 Black Cloud Merchant: Pets With No Current Source

Some pets have no current monster source, and guides say a few of them only come from chests or merchants, according to two global guides (bKooSuNowcE, aolgzSpsFz4). That is the main case where the merchant can matter for planning. The table sets that case against the more common situations.

Before buying for a pet with a farmable monster, compare the merchant price with the time you would spend in the open world. The AION 2 pet souls page explains how many souls a pet needs at each level, which helps with that comparison.

The Ultimate guide to pet genus video from a global launch guide covers the pet system around the merchant, and the official PET section on the NC contents page gives the official wording for pets.
