Short answer: Gear Score sets the price of an Aion 2 account more than anything else. Across 305 account listings on the global EU and NA servers that were removed in October 2026, each extra 100 Gear Score added about 16% to the last listed price, and accounts at 2600+ GS were last listed at about 2.9 times comparable accounts at 1900–2199 GS. Extra characters at level 45 added about 27%. Once Gear Score was taken into account, class, membership and battle passes made no measurable difference.
This is METAMMO research on 305 Aion 2 account listings that were removed from major marketplaces between 1 and 19 October 2026. A removed listing may have been sold or simply withdrawn; public pages do not say which, so these are last listed prices, not confirmed sales. Every figure is relative: it says how much higher or lower an account is listed, not what it costs. Published 20 October 2026. Accounts available now are in the Aion 2 catalog.
Factors ranked by effect on price
Each effect is measured with the other factors held equal: the Gear Score effect compares accounts of the same class with the same extras, and so on. The 95% range shows how sure the estimate is.
| Factor | Effect on last listed price | 95% range | Listings in group |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gear Score, each +100 | +16% | +14% to +17% | 305 |
| Gear Score, each +100 above 2000 GS | +20% | +15% to +24% | 189 |
| 2600+ GS (vs 1900–2199 GS) | +193% (about 2.9x) | +130% to +274% | 43 |
| 2400–2599 GS (vs 1900–2199 GS) | +114% | +73% to +166% | 61 |
| 2200–2399 GS (vs 1900–2199 GS) | +35% | +9% to +68% | 49 |
| 1600–1899 GS (vs 1900–2199 GS) | −40% | −54% to −21% | 36 |
| 1000–1599 GS (vs 1900–2199 GS) | −60% | −69% to −50% | 63 |
| Extra characters (alts) on the account | +27% | +6% to +53% | 63 |
| Membership, battle pass or founder pack | No measurable effect (+3%) | −10% to +18% | 83 |
| Steam login mentioned | No measurable effect (−8%) | −20% to +6% | 71 |
| Class (each class vs Gladiator) | No class differs measurably | — | 305 |
Ranked by strength: Gear Score first by a wide margin, then extra characters. The rest of what sellers put in a title (passes, membership, the login type) did not move the listed price in this sample.
Gear Score: the curve gets steeper at the top
Across the whole range, 100 Gear Score is worth about 16%. Above 2000 GS the step grows to about 20% per 100, so the gap between 2400 and 2700 GS costs more than the gap between 1700 and 2000. The bands in the table show the same thing: going from 1900–2199 GS to 2200–2399 adds about a third, while going to 2600+ almost triples the listed price. Our Gear Score explainer covers what raises it and which content each level opens.
Class, region and faction
Ranger is the class named most often in these listings (30%), followed by Cleric (15%) and Chanter (13%). That is how often sellers list a class, not how often buyers choose it. At the same Gear Score no class was listed at a measurably different price. Clerics came out about a quarter higher, but the result was not firm enough to count (p between 0.05 and 0.1), so we do not report it as a finding. See the eight classes for what each one does.
North American accounts appeared to be listed higher than European ones at the same Gear Score, but only 17 NA listings were in the sample, too few to put a number on it. Faction is named in fewer than one listing in five, and neither Elyos nor Asmodian showed a clear effect. Taiwan and Korea servers were left out: their Gear Score scale is far ahead of global and does not compare.
How long Aion 2 listings stayed up
The median listing in the sample was removed 2.6 days after it was first seen. Listings at 2600+ GS stayed up a little longer, 3.3 days. The market is young, so these times reflect the first weeks after the global launch.
Methodology
- Sample. 305 Aion 2 account listings on the EU and NA global servers where the listing stated a Gear Score and that were removed between 1 and 19 October 2026, out of 435 cleaned removed listings in the period.
- What counts as a removed listing. A single-account listing that disappeared from the marketplace and was not posted again by the same seller within ten days. The same account offered on several servers is counted once. We cannot see whether it was sold or withdrawn.
- Left out. Levelling and boosting services, made-to-order characters, bundles of several accounts and placeholder prices.
- Parsing. Gear Score, Combat Power, class, region, faction, crafted weapons, extra characters, passes and login type were read from listing titles in English and Russian.
- Model. Log-linear regression of the last listed price on these factors, with heteroskedasticity-robust (HC3) standard errors. An effect is exp(coefficient) − 1. The model explains about 70% of the variation in price (R² 0.70).
- Reporting rule. We state an effect as a finding only when p < 0.05 and the group has at least 30 listings. Weaker results are described as unconfirmed.
- Limitations. Prices are the last price shown before the listing was removed, not any discount agreed in chat. Some removed listings were withdrawn rather than sold, and we cannot tell which. Facts in listings were typed by sellers and not checked. Three weeks after launch is a short window, and the effects show association, not cause.
What we could not confirm
- Crafted or named weapons (crafted bow, Kromede weapons and similar) pointed to about +20%, but only 28 listings mentioned one and the range runs from +1% to +45%.
- Cleric premium of about +25%: not statistically firm.
- NA vs EU: 17 NA listings, too few.
- Combat Power moves together with Gear Score, so it adds nothing once Gear Score is known.
What to check when buying an Aion 2 account
- Gear Score on the character sheet. It is what the price rests on, so ask for a screenshot or a recording of the character window, not a number in a title.
- Every extra character. Alts added value in the data. Check the level and Gear Score of each one.
- Passes and membership as a bonus. They did not raise listed prices, so treat them as a bonus, not as the reason to choose an account.
- A crafted weapon, if one is claimed. Ask to see it equipped with its enchant level.
- Region and server. An account is tied to its region. Check the server and the transfer rules in our server guide.
- The login. NC Account or Steam, and whether the email can be changed. Our Aion 2 buying guide lists the checks.

Frequently asked questions
What affects the value of an Aion 2 account the most?
Gear Score. In 305 removed account listings, each extra 100 Gear Score added about 16% to the last listed price, and a 2600+ GS account was listed at about 2.9 times a comparable 1900–2199 GS account. Extra level-45 characters came second with about +27%.
Does class change what an Aion 2 account is worth?
Not measurably. Ranger, Cleric and Chanter are the classes named most often in listings, but at the same Gear Score no class was listed at a clearly different price.
Do membership and battle passes add value to an Aion 2 account?
No measurable effect. Accounts listing a membership, battle pass or founder pack were listed at about the same price as accounts without one at the same Gear Score.
How long do Aion 2 account listings stay up?
The median listing was removed 2.6 days after it was first seen in October 2026; at 2600+ Gear Score, about 3.3 days. A removed listing is not always a sale.
