Region: Steam/PURPLE Global. Times below follow the PST/CET schedule in the official notice.
AION 2 Global has announced that Ludra returns on November 4, 2026, with new mechanics and a package of related events. The published entry thresholds are 2,800 item level for Normal and 3,000 for Hard. These are Global-service details; they should not be assumed to apply to Korea or Taiwan on the same date.
The dates to keep on your calendar
| Activity | Official window | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Odyle Energy support | After maintenance on Oct. 28 through before maintenance on Nov. 10 (PST); the CET schedule runs through before maintenance on Nov. 11 | Log in once per day and claim four Odyle Energy from in-game mail. Each mail expires seven days after receipt. |
| Ludra check-in rewards | Nov. 4–Nov. 17 at 23:59 PST; through Nov. 18 at 08:59 CET | Seven rewards unlock across a 14-day event. NC says players can miss up to seven days and still complete the track. |
| Twitch Drops | The event begins Nov. 4 and runs through Nov. 17 PST / Nov. 18 CET | Cumulative watch time unlocks bound rewards such as resurrection stones, skin chests, pet chests, and enhancement scrolls. |
| Ludra first-clear challenge | After maintenance on Nov. 4 until before maintenance on Nov. 24 PST / Nov. 25 CET | The first 20 Hard-mode parties in each region earn tiered titles; other players who clear Normal or Hard during the event also receive a title. |
The seven check-in rewards
The announced track includes:
- Day 1: 500,000 Bound Kina;
- Day 2: 2,000 Centuryroot Tokens (Shugo Coins);
- Day 3: 3,000 Phantasmal Fragments (Nightmare Coins);
- Day 4: 30,000 Abyss Points;
- Day 5: 3,000 Soul Crystals;
- Day 6: 1,000,000 Bound Kina;
- Day 7: one Lush Leaf Tiara helm appearance.
The event spans 14 days but has seven reward steps. Each check-in unlocks the next reward, and the official notice says you can miss up to seven days and still finish the track.
How the Odyle Energy support works
From after the October 28 maintenance, log in once per day and collect four Odyle Energy from in-game mail. Delivery is limited to once per account per day, and the mail expires seven days after it arrives. The stated purpose is to help players run more Expeditions and Transcendence Dungeons before facing Ludra.
Twitch Drops and first-clear titles
Twitch Drops use cumulative viewing time. Listed rewards include bound Resurrection Spiritstones, skin chests, mysterious pet chests, Battle Enhance Scrolls, and appearance-related vouchers. Check the official Drops FAQ for account-linking and claim instructions.
The first-clear contest is regional rather than one worldwide leaderboard. The notice lists Europe, NA East, NA West, South America, and Asia. The first 20 Hard-mode parties in each region earn ranked commemorative titles; players who clear either Normal or Hard during the event period receive the general Ludra Hunter title.
A practical preparation checklist
- Check your gear score before choosing a difficulty: 2,800 for Normal and 3,000 for Hard.
- Start collecting the daily mail support after the October 28 maintenance, and do not let the seven-day mail expiry pass.
- Track the check-in and Twitch Drops windows separately; their schedules are not identical to the first-clear contest.
- Treat regional first-clear rankings separately, and confirm the latest official notice if the schedule changes.
