Skill Points are the currency that raises your active and passive abilities in Aion 2, and they matter beyond anything your gear provides. You earn a large block of them just by hitting the level cap, but the rest come from clearing content across the map. Once you know exactly where they hide, filling out a build is a matter of checklist work rather than guesswork.

Quick answer: Reaching level 45 grants 203 Skill Points, clearing all 61 Sealed Dungeons adds 122, and finishing all 59 Regional Quests adds 59 more. That is the full pool available in the open world.

Every Skill Point source and its total

There are three reliable ways to collect Skill Points. The first is passive and happens as you play. The other two require you to work through the world after you hit the cap. The counts below assume full completion of each activity.

SourcePer completionTotal available
Leveling to 45Varies203
Sealed Dungeons (61)2122
Regional Quests (59)159

Sealed Dungeons and Regional Quests both hand you Wisdom Stones, which you then use to add the point to your pool. Each stone is one Skill Point when consumed.

Level to 45 for your first 203 points

The simplest and most hands-off way to stack Skill Points is normal character progression. Running the main story quests, backed up by a handful of nearby side quests, carries you to the current cap of level 45 and nets you 203 Skill Points along the way.

A focused run to 45 can be done in under a day of play. First-time runs take longer if you stop for cutscenes, but the campaign itself is the fastest XP, so there is no reason to grind mobs for levels. Once you cap out, the quest-driven points dry up and you move on to the two other sources.


Clear every Sealed Dungeon for 122 points

After level 45, Sealed Dungeons become your biggest remaining pool. There are 61 Sealed Dungeons spread across the map, and each one holds two Wisdom Stones, so a full clear is worth 122 Skill Points.

Look for the golden question mark icon on the map. Approaching it reveals the entrance to the Sealed Dungeon.
Enter and clear the instance. Completion hands you the two Wisdom Stones for Skill Points, along with Kina, Enhancement Stones, and Daevanion Crystals.

Your own faction’s map does not contain all 61 dungeons. You will need to cross into the opposing faction’s region through a Spacetime Rift to finish the set.


Complete Regional Quests for 59 points

Regional Quests are the second priority after Sealed Dungeons. They appear as green markers scattered through every corner of the map, and each one rewards a single Wisdom Stone for a Skill Point, plus Kina and experience.

The open world contains 59 Regional Quests; completing every one adds 59 Skill Points to your pool. Since they are spread across a wide area, finish all the green markers in one region before moving to the next to avoid backtracking.


Monoliths and Trace Feathers do not give Skill Points

A common point of confusion: in global Aion 2, Trace Feathers and Monoliths award neither Wisdom Stones nor Skill Points. Their behavior differed in the beta and in the Korean and Taiwan clients.

Leveling up Monoliths in the global build instead yields Daevanion Crystals. Those crystals push skills past the level 10 cap on the Daevanion Board, but they are a separate resource and will not fill your Skill Point total.

Respec returns every Skill Point you spent

You do not lose anything by experimenting. Any Skill Points you have spent leveling your active and passive abilities are refunded in full if you decide to respec into a different setup. That means you can commit points early, see how a build feels in combat, and reallocate later without burning through your pool.

You can confirm your running total and spend points from the Skills menu, opened with the K key by default. Skill Points raise each ability up to level 10; getting a skill higher than that relies on the Daevanion Board, Arcana, and gear traits rather than more points. Once your three sources read 203 from leveling, 122 from dungeons, and 59 from quests, you have collected everything the open world has to offer.
