Entry item level, Normal against Hard and the rewards that move an account’s value, for every instanced dungeon on the global servers. Numbers marked NC come from NC’s patch notes; numbers marked Community come from community guides, because NC publishes no entry table for global. Where nobody has a verified number, we say so.

Rewards that matter for an account
Krao Cave
- Hard: Philosopher’s Stone: Revelation (selectable guaranteed reward)
- Hard: Ariel Fragments for the Ariel Daevanion board
- Hard: Unique crafting materials (Wrathful Mind, Will, Ego)
- Hard: chance of Expedition Hero Artwork, more Kina than Normal
The first of the two Hard Expeditions. Clearing it every week is how a 2,600+ character builds Ariel points and Unique crafting stock.
Patch notes, 20 Oct (PDT) / 21 Oct (CEST) 2026: Expedition Hard, Ariel Daevanion board (NC) · Aion 2 Krao Cave Expedition (games.gg) (community)
Draupnir Cave
- Normal: Bakarma Unique armor set, chance of Sealed Blue Wave Wings (community drop data)
- Hard: Philosopher’s Stone: Revelation, Ariel Fragments (its own fragment type), Unique crafting materials, more Kina
Bakarma gear is the armor most mid-range listings name. Hard Draupnir is the second Ariel Fragment source, so both caves are needed to fill the Ariel board.

Transcendence: Shattered Arkanis and Deus Research Base
- Arcana cards, up to Unique (gold) from stage 3
- Each gold card adds item level, which opens the next stage
“5 Gold Arcana” in a title means stage 3 and 4 clears over weeks. It is one of the clearest signs of an endgame character.
