In Aion 2, your character’s appearance can be just as important as their combat power. The Lookbook feature gives you the freedom to fully customize your character's look without affecting their stats. Here's how to unlock, organize, and maximize the Lookbook system in Aion 2, so your character looks their best while staying combat-ready.

Unlocking the Lookbook

The Lookbook is a system that separates your character's "Skin" from their "Gear," allowing you to maintain full control over your appearance. While basic customization options are available from the start, the deeper features are unlocked as you progress through the game.


Appearance Extraction: As you play, you’ll have the opportunity to extract gear to save its appearance in your Lookbook. This means that even after you’ve replaced that piece of gear, you can still wear its visual style. The best part? You don’t lose it, and it doesn’t impact your gear's stats.


Customization Access: You can unlock full customization menus early in the game (around level 2). This allows you to explore presets, dyeing options, and other appearance features.


Item Level Milestones: To access some of the cooler cosmetic options, you’ll need to reach certain Item Levels (iLvl), starting around iLvl 900. These milestones open up new zones and quests, giving you access to exclusive looks that are worth the grind.


Organizing and Customizing Your Look
The Lookbook offers a lot of flexibility, and you’ll want to make sure it’s organized to match your aesthetic preferences. Here’s how you can fine-tune your character's visual identity.


Skin and Dyeing System: You can customize and dye individual parts of your gear, creating a look that is unique to your character. This means you can have a completely custom look without sacrificing performance.


Previewing Sets: The in-game shop allows you to browse skins and use the "Try On" feature to see how new sets like the Windborne WOW Skin Set or the Red Horse Westman’s Set will look on your character. This is a great way to experiment with new aesthetics before committing.


Wing Integration: If your character has wings, you can toggle them on and off during the preview. This ensures that your wings complement your outfit, making sure that both your armor and wings flow together stylistically.


Material Customization: For even deeper customization, you can modify the materials used in your gear, though this often requires premium currency. This option lets you tweak not just the color but also the texture and overall feel of your gear.


Pro Tips for the Lookbook

To make the most of the Lookbook, keep these tips in mind:


Avoid Inventory Junk: Your inventory can quickly get cluttered with unnecessary gear. To keep things clean, use the Quick Store feature, which automatically moves materials and valuables to your storage. This leaves more room in your inventory for new gear that you might want to extract for your Lookbook.


Lore-Based Aesthetics: For a more immersive look, consider matching your character’s color scheme to their class. For example, use blues and purples for magic users or earth tones for melee fighters. This not only makes your character stand out but also adds a layer of personality and roleplay to your appearance.


Check Regional Servers: Servers in Taiwan and Korea often get new outfits before other regions. Keep an eye on these servers to preview upcoming cosmetic content, like the Frostflower Lace Set, which may eventually become available globally.


By unlocking, organizing, and customizing your Lookbook, you'll not only enhance your character's appearance but also showcase your personal style. The Lookbook in Aion 2 offers a level of flexibility and depth that lets you truly express yourself—whether you're showing off your gear in the most fashionable way or keeping it subtle with a classic, cohesive look.
