I watched the Black Cloud Merchant’s stock flip twice and felt my heart drop. Two million Kina blinked at me like a promise I might miss. That moment — hold or click — teaches you more about pet collecting than any tutorial.
Collectors I follow tape spreadsheets to their monitor. All pets in Aion 2 & how to get them
You can collect 200 pets in Aion 2. I’ve chased them through zones, raided reward chests, and swapped souls in trade channels on Discord and Reddit to map the fastest paths. The bulk arrive from Mysterios, Growth Chests, type-specific Reward Chests, the rotating Black Cloud Merchants store, and Pet Soul Chests. A handful are Special animals sold through the Atelier Shop, Shugo Festival stalls, or tied to the Daeva Pass and merchant vendors like Tsenka.
Open the Source tab when inspecting any pet and the game will show spawn locations — that’s the single fastest way to stop wasting time. If you prefer community tools, the Aion 2 subreddit, Discord trade channels, and Steam guides are full of pinned maps and shared spawn windows. I use them when I need to find a soul that won’t drop for me.
Most regular pets require 25 souls to reach level 2, then another 75 souls to max Insight and gain the Transformation ability. If you’re farming, prioritize Pet Soul Chests and enemy packs that appear in groups — they stack drops faster than solo hunting.
How many pets are there in Aion 2?
Two hundred total. That count includes all categories: Special, Cogni, Fera, Natura, and Varian. Special pets are rarer and often tied to purchases, passes, or limited events like the Shugo Festival.
How do I get pet souls?
Pet souls come from defeating the creature, Pet Soul Chests, and reward chests. Think of chest runs like hunting coins in a cluttered attic — you’ll find the odd treasure if you keep at it. For rare drops, swap with players on Discord and the Aion 2 subreddit or watch the Black Cloud Merchant rotation closely.
How do I upgrade pets to get Transformation?
Collect 25 souls for level 2, then gather 75 more to hit max Insight for the Transformation. If a pet is available through the Black Cloud Merchants or Reward Chests, prioritize those sources — they bypass long grind loops. Use inventory-managed lists (I keep one in Google Sheets) and cross-reference spawn data from Steam community guides to plan efficient routes.

If you want speed, use community spawn maps on Steam guides, tag trades on Discord, and monitor the Black Cloud Merchant on Reddit threads. If you prefer patience, run reward chest loops and grind region mobs until the souls add up — collecting pet souls is like trading baseball cards at a summer fair.
