Updated ·By the Aion2 Atlas team·How we source data
What should I do with old gear in Aion 2?
- Extract once per item to unlock its skin
- Inherit only at +20 or higher
- Lower Unique gear = Sync material
- Supply Requests reward Abyss Points / Enhancement Stones
The five things old gear is good for
Your bags will fill up fast in the first weeks, and selling everything to an NPC is the slowest way to clear them. Every option below turns an old item into something useful:
| Option | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Extract / Dismantle | Materials back + the item's skin in your Closet (Closet level gives stats) | Every item you haven't extracted before |
| Inheritance (Transfer) | Moves enhancement, breakthrough, Soul Binding effects and affixes to a matching new item | Pieces at +20 or higher; costs Transfer Stones |
| Sync | Re-rolls a Soul Binding effect toward the stat you want | Lower Unique gear you won't wear again |
| Supply Requests | Abyss Points or Enhancement Stones | Items with the scroll icon, especially crafted gear |
| Sell on the Market | Kinah | Tradable items other players actually want |
Extract first: the Closet is free power
When you extract an item, its look goes into your Closet. The Closet has its own collection level, and that level grants stats. So the first copy of any item is worth more extracted than sold, even if you hate how it looks. You only need to do this once per item. Duplicates can go to the other options.
Inheritance: only worth it at +20
Inheritance (also called Transfer) lets you carry your investment forward. It moves the enhancement level, breakthrough, Soul Binding effects and affixes onto a matching new piece. It isn't free. Transfer Stones are the cost, so the usual rule is to inherit only from gear at +20 or above. Below that, re-enhancing the new item is usually cheaper. Also skip it if you don't care about the old piece's substats. You'd be paying stones to move stats you don't want.
Sync: turn Uniques into better rolls
Unique gear you've outgrown makes good Sync material. Feeding it in lets you re-roll a Soul Binding effect on your current piece, nudging it toward the stat your build needs. Check your class page on Builds for stat priorities before you start rolling.
Supply Requests and the Market
Look for the scroll icon on an item. It means some Supply Request wants it, and turning it in pays Abyss Points or Enhancement Stones. Crafted gear is the best fit, since making it also levels your crafting. If an item is tradable and players want it, the Market turns it into Kinah instead. Remember that buying on the Market requires the Special Quai Membership.
A simple decision order
- Never extracted this item before? Extract it for the skin and Closet level.
- Is it +20 or higher and do you want its substats? Inherit onto the new piece.
- Is it a lower Unique? Keep it as Sync material.
- Does it have a scroll icon? Turn it into a Supply Request.
- Tradable, in demand, and you already own the skin? Sell it on the Market.
These rules are based on the global client in October 2026. Numbers like Transfer Stone costs aren't published in English yet, so check the in-game preview before confirming.
Frequently asked questions
Should I dismantle or sell old gear in Aion 2?＋
Dismantle each item at least once to add its skin to your Closet, which levels up and gives stats. After that, sell tradable duplicates if they're in demand.
When is Inheritance worth it?＋
When the old piece is +20 or higher and you want to keep its substats. It costs Transfer Stones, so lower-enhanced gear usually isn't worth moving.
What does the scroll icon on an item mean?＋
It means the item can be turned in for a Supply Request, which pays Abyss Points or Enhancement Stones.
Can I sell gear without a membership?＋
Market purchasing is listed as a membership benefit. Selling rules for non-members aren't clearly documented for global yet, so check in-game.
