Aion 2: Where to Spend Abyss Points in the Abyss Trade Shop

The Abyss Trade Shop opens at level 45, and your points are best spent on Stigma Shards and Daevanion Crystals first.

Abyss Points start piling up in Aion 2 long before the game gives you anything to do with them. You can begin earning this “mark of honor won on the fields of a war without end” from around level 13, yet every shop that accepts them stays locked until much later. The result is a growing balance and no obvious place to spend it.

Quick answer: Spend Abyss Points in the Abyss Trade Shop, which unlocks at level 45. Open any of the Abyss, Arena, or Battlefield tabs, pick Trade Shop in the top row, then prioritize Stigma Shards and Daevanion Crystals in the Growth tab before anything else.

How to open the Abyss Trade Shop

All Abyss Point purchases run through the Abyss Trade Shop. It becomes available once you hit level 45, which is the current character level cap. The same shop is reachable through several menus, so you don’t have to hunt for a specific vendor.

Open the Abyss, Arena, or Battlefield tab, then select the Trade Shop entry in the top row. Each tab leads to the same interface, split into sections for Growth Items, Skins, Wings, Medals, and Consumables.

You can collect Abyss Points as early as level 13, but you cannot spend a single one until level 45. There is no interim shop, so hold the balance and plan your first purchases around the Growth tab.

What to buy first, by shop tab

The Abyss Trade Shop sells a lot, but the tabs are not equal in value. Growth Items feed straight into your Combat Power, so they come first. Skins, Wings, and Medals are worth picking up once your growth needs are covered, and Consumables should be skipped entirely.

SkinsCosmetics that carry a PvP-related Owned EffectAfter Growth
WingsWings with Equipped and Owned stat effectsAfter Skins
MedalsSilver Medal of Merit, up to 10 per weekLower
ConsumablesPotions and materials also found elsewhereSkip

Skins do more than change your look: each one grants a PvP-related Owned Effect, even while unequipped. Wings make a good next investment because their Equipped and Owned Effects both boost your stats. Medals take time to build up: you can purchase a weekly maximum of 10 Silver Medals of Merit, then use that currency for cosmetic sets such as the Centurion Set.

Leave the Consumables tab alone. Everything in it can be obtained through other activities, so spending hard-won Abyss Points there wastes a resource you need for permanent upgrades.

Growth Items: Stigma Shards and Daevanion Crystals

Most of your points should go into the Growth tab, and within it, Stigma Shards do the heavy lifting for Combat Power. Daevanion Crystals come next; each one feeds the system that unlocks your character’s potential. Both are sold in four price steps that scale up as you buy more, and each has a per-character cap.

Stigma Shards have a purchase limit of 200 per character, split as 50 at each of the four steps. Daevanion Crystals cap at 110 per character, with 20 available at Step 1 and 30 each at Steps 2, 3, and 4. Clear your Stigma Shard needs first, then move on to Daevanion Crystals and the Enhance Scrolls and Potential Stones in the same tab.


How to confirm a purchase worked

After buying, your Abyss Points balance drops by the listed cost and the item lands in your inventory. For stepped items, the shop advances to the next step and its price, and the remaining stock for that step falls. Once you reach a cap, that item stops being purchasable for the week or for the character, depending on the limit shown on its entry.

Stigma Shards and Daevanion Crystals are the purchases that move your Combat Power the most, so build your routine around keeping their steps topped up. Everything else in the shop is a bonus you buy once the growth upgrades are handled.
