Aion 2: How to Display Your Weapon Outside of Combat

By default, Aion 2 hides your equipped weapon whenever you leave combat, so your character stands around empty-handed in towns and out in the field. A single setting changes that, keeping the weapon mounted on your back at all times. For a Gladiator carrying a Greatsword, that means the full blade stays visible while you stand still, run, and explore.

Quick answer: Open Settings, go to the Graphics tab, pick the Camera / Direction sub-tab, scroll to Miscellaneous Effects, and switch Display Weapon Outside of Combat from OFF to ON.

Enable Display Weapon Outside of Combat in Aion 2

Press Esc or click the menu icon at the screen’s right edge to bring up the main menu, then choose Settings (the gear icon).

Click the Graphics tab along the top of the Settings window, then choose the Camera / Direction sub-tab. This is the same panel that holds camera perspective, view distance, and teleport effect options, so you are in the right place even though the setting is not under Combat.

Navigating Graphics settings — On the Camera / Direction sub-tab, the options are grouped under World Map, Camera, and Miscellaneous Effects. Shown at 00:21 in JBGamingExp’s video. Image: NC

Scroll down to the Miscellaneous Effects section and find Display Weapon Outside of Combat. Toggle it from OFF to ON, then close the Settings window.

The change is fully reversible. If you prefer a cleaner look at any point, return to the same toggle and switch it back to OFF.

Confirm the weapon stays visible

Once Settings is closed, you should see the weapon appear on your character’s back immediately, with no need to reload or re-enter the world. Walk or run across the terrain to confirm it stays in place. A Greatsword, for example, sits vertically along the spine and remains there while you move, instead of vanishing the moment you stop fighting.

Greatsword options worth showing off

The Greatsword is the Gladiator’s main weapon, and it is the most visible beneficiary of this setting thanks to its size. If you want the blade on your back to carry real stats as well as presence, these are notable Greatswords and where they come from.

Greatsword	Max Attack	Req. Level	Source
Ludra’s Blade of Extinction	604	45	Creature drop, reward box, raid
Holy Spirit Greatsword	239	35	Quest reward, field event
Spectral Greatsword	239	35	Quest reward, field event
Wisdom Greatsword	209	30	Quest reward, field event
Fantasy Greatsword	209	30	Quest reward, field event

Ludra’s Blade of Extinction is a Unique, tier-4 Greatsword that drops from Eternal Ludra at a 0.56% rate and can also come from the Abyssal Forge: Weapon Selection Chest. Its Max Attack of 604 is the highest value among all 83 Greatswords, shared with the Splendent Ebony Dragon Lord Greatsword and the Splendent Wise Dragon Lord Greatsword. It carries four manastone slots and one theostone slot, and it is bound when obtained.

Holy Spirit Greatsword and Spectral Greatsword share the same item level 41 profile and 239 Max Attack, both earned through quest rewards and field events such as Goldrin’s Treasure and Hidden Lugi. Wisdom Greatsword and Fantasy Greatsword sit a step below at item level 36 with 209 Max Attack, usable from level 30. All four are Unique-grade, bound when obtained, and come with four manastone slots and one theostone slot.

If appearance matters more than stats, you can change the look without changing the blade itself. The Crown Chess (Skin: Greatsword) is a Unique usable item that grants a Greatsword skin and costs 120000 Oath Coin from the coin shop. After purchase, the skin is stored in your Closet, where you apply it to the Greatsword you already have equipped, so your displayed weapon shows the cosmetic you want while keeping its real stats.

With the setting on and a skin applied, whatever Greatsword you carry stays on your back wherever you go, giving your character a consistent look between fights rather than an empty silhouette.

Greatsword Enchant Bonuses and Crafted Dragon Lord Options
