AION 2: How to Change Your Character’s Appearance

Reach Level 10, then spend an Appearance Change Voucher or 600 Quna to reopen the full customization suite.

Reach Level 10, then spend an Appearance Change Voucher or 600 Quna to reopen the full customization suite.

AION 2 offers extensive face options at no cost during character creation. Later changes to an existing character require a consumable token or a premium-currency payment, and you must reach a minimum level before you can begin.

Quick answer: Once you are Level 10, go to your Cube inventory and activate an Appearance Change Voucher to bring up the Customization screen; select Apply to finish. Without a voucher, use Settings > Customization and pay 600 Quna.


Requirements before you can edit your appearance

Two conditions must be true at the same time. Miss either one and the edit will not start.

  • Your character must be at least Level 10. The voucher tooltip states this condition, and it cannot be used on a character below that level.
  • Either an Appearance Change Voucher (Common Customization) in your Cube inventory, or 600 Quna (premium currency) to pay the default fee.

Only the character’s physical look changes. Your faction, class, and progress remain as they were.


How to reopen the customization suite and apply changes

You do not need to visit a salon NPC or travel to a dedicated building. Either of two methods lets you begin the edit wherever you are in the open world.

Go into your Cube inventory and locate the Appearance Change Voucher. Hover over it to view the tooltip, which explains that it alters your character’s appearance and specifies the Level 10 minimum.
Activate the voucher to open Customization on your active character; its face stays intact instead of reverting to the default. You can also find the screen in the bottom row beside the market at Settings > Customization.
Even if you go through the Settings route, the game automatically offers to consume one voucher rather than charge 600 Quna. If you have a voucher in your inventory, use it to set the fee to zero.
Work through the Preset, Face, Hair, Style, plus Body Shape tabs. This gives you the complete creation suite, including options for face type, skin gloss, voice, individual facial features, body type, and gender.
Choose Apply to proceed. The game first displays a confirmation dialog asking, “Apply the changes made?” Confirm the prompt to complete the edit.

After you confirm, the Customization screen closes and returns you to the open world, where the revised model appears. Remaining in the editor means the update has not been saved. To inspect it quickly, zoom the camera to its closest setting so your face fills the frame; even minor changes to the eyes, nose, or lips will be easy to spot.

One voucher pays for one edit. Finish all desired changes in the same session instead of applying them, exiting, and returning to make more.


Where to get an Appearance Change Voucher

Open-world vendors do not sell these vouchers, and they cannot be crafted. They come from a few different sources; for most players, the first is free.

Twitch dropsFree
Redeem codesFree
Post-maintenance goodie bagsFree
Login and event rewardsFree
Ultimate Founder’s PackIncluded
In-game Shop (A2 Mileage > Consumables)26,000 Mileage Currency

The shop route is the slow one. A voucher in Consumables costs 26,000 Mileage Currency, and Mileage is handed out as a 10% rebate when you buy Quna with real money. That means you only reach that amount after spending around 260,000 Quna, and the shop limits the purchase to twice per month per character. Because the free channels cluster around launch windows and seasonal content, check your mail and event tabs before spending anything.


What a 7-day Appearance Change Voucher means

If your voucher is labeled “7 Days”, it does not grant a week of unlimited edits. The 7 days is simply how long the voucher stays usable once it lands in your inventory. After that window it expires and is gone. Most vouchers from events and post-maintenance bags work this way, so claim and use them promptly rather than stockpiling.


What the voucher changes and what it does not

The editor you reopen is the complete creation suite, not a trimmed version. Face control is extremely granular, covering eyebrow shape and color, eye size, position, depth and rotation, iris shape and color including fantasy patterns, nose length and nostril width, and lip thickness and corner position. Hair handles styles and dye, while Style covers makeup.

Body Shape is adjustable too. Height, overall build, arm and hand proportions, shoulder and rib cage ratios, hip size, and leg thickness all remain editable.

Facial structure cannot be changed in the edit menu when you are using a Style Shop preset. Class and faction are chosen separately during character creation, and a voucher never changes them.

Keep cosmetic equipment separate from voucher edits: armor, wings, and mounts use the glamour and transmog system, which changes their appearance without changing their stats. Combining transmogs in the Closet menu also uses no Appearance Change Voucher. Reserve vouchers for edits to the character’s face and body.

Appearance Change Voucher Variants

Four voucher records exist in the game. All of them require Level 10, are Common grade, cannot be traded, and carry the same description: they change the appearance of the character you have created, and appearances downloaded from the Style Shop cannot be changed.

VoucherMax stackWhere it comes from
Appearance Change Voucher (Bound)1000Coin shop, 36000 Oath Coin
Appearance Change Voucher (7 Days) (Bound)1Opened from Daeva’s Styling Chest
Appearance Change Voucher (10 Days) (Bound)1000No source listed
Appearance Change Voucher (30 Days) (Bound)1000No source listed

The 7-day version stacks to only 1, so you can hold a single copy at a time. Open another Daeva’s Styling Chest only after you have used or lost the one in your inventory.

The Oath Coin price is separate from the A2 Mileage route in the In-game Shop. The A2 Mileage currency itself is Common, Level 1, and cannot be traded.

Quna types

Quna exists in several forms: Paid Quna, Complimentary Quna, and Pending Quna. Pending Quna turns into Paid Quna after a 72-hour wait. All of them are described as a gemstone the Shugo Merchants value for purchasing special goods.
