Tips for cube hunting
- Work one area at a time — the map's area list groups pins by the nearest teleport, so you can clear one area per flight.
- Look up before you look around: ledges, pillars, rooftops and cliff faces hide most cubes.
- Keep sound on and listen for a soft shimmering chime near a cube.
- If a spot is empty, someone else got it or it rotated to another spawn point — come back later.
- Save your keys for red cubes; gold cubes are free to open.
Ruby veins
See Ruby Veins for the best places to gather rubies — you need a Splendent Ruby for the Essence Extraction upgrade quest at Novice level 50.
Frequently asked questions
How many hidden cubes are there in Aion 2?＋
NCSOFT has not published an official total. The map shows 2,811 known spawn points — 1,440 in Verteron and 1,371 in Altgard. Cubes rotate between these points, so only some hold a cube at any moment; smaller totals you see elsewhere (172, 275) count unique cube groups rather than every spawn point.
Why is a hidden cube missing from its spot?＋
Cubes rotate between several possible spawn points, and once a player opens one it disappears for everyone until the next cycle. If a spot is empty, try again later or move on to the next one.
Do I need a key to open a hidden cube?＋
Red cubes use a Hidden Key and give better rewards; the rarer gold cubes need no key. Keys come from certain quests, the season pass, Monolith content and daily login rewards.
What do hidden cubes give?＋
Mostly crafting and upgrade materials such as Theostones, plus other random rewards. Red cubes are worth your keys; gold cubes are free bonus loot.
How do I find hidden cubes faster?＋
Look up: ledges, rooftops, cliff faces and pillars hide most of them, and a few are underwater. Turn your sound on — cubes give off a faint shimmering chime when you are close.
