Extract Gear for Skins and Enhance Stones

Enhance Stones back

Extraction refunds the stones you put into the piece.

Keep the look

The item's appearance goes to your Closet as a skin.

Skins add stats

Your skin collection gives stats as it grows.

Preview first

The extraction window lists what you get before you confirm.

Transfer Enhanced and Soul Bound Gear

What moves over

Enhancement level and Soul Binding go to the new item. The old one is used up.

Costs extra materials

Transfer needs its own materials, so save it for heavily enhanced pieces.

Check the count

Guides disagree on how many times one item can be transferred. The Transfer tab shows yours.

Keep Unique Gear as Sync Material

Reroll a stat

Sync uses a spare Unique piece to replace one bound stat on your gear.

Random result

You may need several pieces to land the stat you want.

Do not dump gold gear

Endgame Sync eats a lot of it, so store spares instead.

Turn In Gear for Supply Requests

Check before extracting

Some old pieces are exactly what an open Supply Request wants.

Abyss Points without PvP

Requests pay Abyss Points and Enhance Stones.

Crafted gear works too

Crafted items can fill requests, so your crafting pays off.

What to Do With Old Gear FAQ

Can you sell old gear to NPCs in AION 2?

No. Vendors do not take equipment. Extract it, use it for Transfer or Sync, or sell tradable pieces on the Market.

Do I lose the look when I extract an item?

No. Its appearance is saved as a skin in your Closet, and the skin collection adds stats.

Should I extract Unique gear?

Only once you are sure you will not need it. Spare Unique pieces are the material for Sync, and endgame Sync needs plenty.
