AION 2 Superior Manastone: Effects and How to Get It

Every stat the Common-grade stone can roll, its tier odds, and the crafting recipe and achievements that hand it out.

Every stat the Common-grade stone can roll, its tier odds, and the crafting recipe and achievements that hand it out.

Superior Manastone is a Common-grade stone in AION 2 that you engrave into the Manastone slots on weapons and armor. Each engraving adds one random combat stat, and the exact stat and its value are decided by chance when you commit. It sits at the top of the three regular Manastone sizes, so it rolls from a stronger value table than the Lesser and Intermediate stones.

Quick answer: Craft Superior Manastone at Alchemy mastery 85, or collect Bound copies from field-boss achievements, the Growth Manastone Chest, and the battle pass. Engrave it into weapon or armor slots for one random stat each.

Superior Manastone stats and roll values

Engraving a Superior Manastone involves two rolls: the game selects a stat and then determines its value tier. The tier chances are 50% for Rare, 35% for Epic, and 15 percent for Unique. The table below shows the rewards for each tier across the nine core stats.

StatRare (50%)Epic (35%)Unique (15%)
Attack+3+5+10
Defense+30+50+100
Accuracy Bonus+7+10+15
Evasion Bonus+7+10+15
Critical Hit+7+10+15
Critical Hit Resist+7+10+15
Block+10+15+20
HP+50+100+160
MP+30+50+80

On top of those nine, Superior stones can also roll five premium Damage Boost lines that the smaller stones never reach: Damage Boost, Weapon Damage Boost, Critical Damage Boost, Back Attack Damage Boost, and Front Attack Damage Boost. Each climbs through the same three tiers at +10, +30, and +100.

Odds of each stat per roll

Before the tier roll happens, the stone has to pick which stat you get. Those weights are fixed and add up to 100 percent. Each of the seven combat stats is a 10 percent chance to be chosen, HP and MP are 13.75 percent each, and the five Damage Boost lines are 0.5 percent each.

  • A top-tier Attack line (+10) works out to a 1.5 percent chance per engrave.
  • Any Damage Boost line at any tier is about 2.5 percent combined.
  • One specific Damage Boost line at its top +100 tier is just 0.075 percent.

Combat Speed, cooldown reduction, and class main stats are not part of the roll pool. Get those stats through gear base stats, Soul Binding, Daevanion boards, or Arcana instead.


How to get Superior Manastone

There are two versions. The tradeable Superior Manastone comes from Alchemy crafting and sells for 34 kina. A Bound version, which cannot be traded, drops from reward boxes, achievements, and the battle pass. Both require level 1 to use and behave identically once engraved.

Craft it with Alchemy

The repeatable route is Alchemy. The recipe unlocks at Alchemy mastery 85 and consumes Intermediate Manastone x30, Spiritstone Powder x10, and Exceptional Ink (Bound) x2 per attempt. The base success rate is 72.9 percent, so expect occasional failed crafts before a stone finishes.

Open a Growth Manastone Chest

The Growth Manastone Chest (Bound) is sold in the shop for 15 Event Currency and awards a Manastone according to set odds. A Superior Manastone may drop, though the odds are low, making the chest a regular but uncertain source rather than a sure reward.

Earn it from achievements

Several achievements hand over a Bound Superior Manastone outright. The field-boss kills each reward one stone plus 7,000 kina and a title. The node-collection and engraving ladders reward one stone at their higher ranks.

Engraving it onto gear

Open the Enhancement window and go to the Manastone tab. Select the weapon or armor piece you want to engrave. The window shows a “Probability to Acquire” table for the stone before you commit anything.
Register a Superior Manastone and pay the kina fee, which scales with the gear grade from 500 up to 2,000. A fresh item fills all of its slots at once when you engrave.
For a reroll, leave unchecked the slots you want to preserve, then re-engrave the others. The item’s slot lines will show the new stats once the reroll succeeds. Changes apply only to checked slots.

Slot count is fixed by gear grade: Common has 1, Rare 2, Epic 3, and Unique 4. Rerolling replaces a line rather than stacking, so there is no way to permanently lock one good stat and spin only the others.

Normal Gear Transfer does not preserve Manastone engravings. Keep Superior stones for Unique gear you intend to hold onto, and spend cheaper Lesser or Intermediate stones on gear you expect to replace soon.
