AION 2 Duties open at Level 45, but NCSOFT’s launch notice says that if you check the Duty tab in the Journal before 45, they only become available the day after you reach 45. This guide covers the unlock rule, where the fix stands as of 7 October 2026, whether 45 is the level cap, and what community checklists say Duties are.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"
TL;DR<\/p>\n
AION 2 went live on Steam and PURPLE on 5 October 2026 from NCSOFT, and Duties sit behind Level 45. NC’s launch maintenance notice splits players into two groups depending on one click.<\/p>\n
The two NC documents name different places for the same trigger: the maintenance notice says the Journal and Known Issues says the Map, and neither reconciles the wording. The Known Issues list was last updated on 4 October, before the 5 October maintenance that listed the fix, so it shows the state before the fix rather than after it: if the Duty tab on the Map is opened before level 45, Duties are unavailable at 45 until the following day. The workaround is the same in both: do not open the tab until 45.<\/p>\n
Warning<\/p>\n
NC announced the fix for 5 October; we have not checked in the client whether it holds. Keeping the Duty tab closed \u2014 in the Journal and on the Map \u2014 until your character reaches 45 costs nothing either way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Triggering the bug delays access until the next day, per NC’s wording “starting the next day”. The notice does not say when that day begins, so the wait is not necessarily a full 24 hours.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":7638,"caption":"Neonsect illustration","alt":"A party of four Daevas heading toward an Abyss rift in AION 2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"table","headers":[{"header_text":"Situation"},{"header_text":"What NC's notice says"}],"rows":[{"cells":[{"cell_text":"You never opened the Duty tab before 45"},{"cell_text":"Duties open right away at 45"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"You checked the Duty tab in the Journal before 45"},{"cell_text":"Duties open from the next day"}]},{"cells":[{"cell_text":"Known Issues list (updated 4 October)"},{"cell_text":"Listed before the 5 October fix"}]}],"size":"small"},{"acf_fc_layout":"title","heading":"Step-by-Step: Reaching 45 Without Delaying Duties","tag":"h2"},{"acf_fc_layout":"steps","intro":"Five steps, built only on NC's two notices.","steps":[{"title":"Leave the Duty tab closed","description":"do not open it in the Journal or on the Map while you are below Level 45, since NC's two notices name both places.

At launch, yes, but the source is a stream and not a written notice. playnews.gg reports that NC’s 4 September “Dungeon Live Gameplay Showcase” set the global launch cap at level 45; neither the report nor any written NC notice says how long that cap stays.
