Disclosure: I maintain the independent AION 2 Pets companion at https://aion2pets.app/. This checklist is practical planning guidance, not a guaranteed farming route or live game-account report. Game and patch details should be checked in your current client. Not affiliated with NCSOFT. \[AION 2 Pets\](https://aion2pets.app/) ## Items ### 1. [Set one session target](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/0/set-one-session-target) Item ID: `0` - Notes: Choose one pet or one upgrade level before travelling. Write down the target in your own notes; switching goals mid-route makes the material comparison harder. - Reference: [https://aion2pets.app/](https://aion2pets.app/) ### 2. [Check the record against your client](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/1/check-the-record-against-your-client) Item ID: `1` - Notes: Open the relevant pet record and its linked source. Compare pet name, genus and current client patch. Mark any mismatch as uncertain instead of treating the site as live game data. - Reference: - ### 3. [Separate library size from map coverage](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/2/separate-library-size-from-map-coverage) Item ID: `2` - Notes: The companion lists 206 pet records, while 157 have recorded locations across three regions. A missing map marker is missing coverage, not proof that a pet cannot be obtained. - Reference: - ### 4. [Choose the right region](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/3/choose-the-right-region) Item ID: `3` - Notes: Match the map region to the character you are playing. A point recorded in another region is not a practical target for this session. - Reference: - ### 5. [Record owned progress manually](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/4/record-owned-progress-manually) Item ID: `4` - Notes: Update your collection checklist yourself. The companion does not read your game account, inventory or character; checkmarks represent what you entered. - Reference: - ### 6. [Plan the material gap](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/5/plan-the-material-gap) Item ID: `5` - Notes: Use the relevant Insight planner with the current and target level. Compare the remaining soul requirement with what you actually own before deciding how much to farm. - Reference: - ### 7. [Keep separate costs separate](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/6/keep-separate-costs-separate) Item ID: `6` - Notes: Pet souls, genus EXP and analysis costs answer different questions. Record them in separate fields; an EXP reward should not be subtracted from a soul requirement. - Reference: - ### 8. [Set a time budget, not a drop promise](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/7/set-a-time-budget-not-a-drop-promise) Item ID: `7` - Notes: Choose how long you want to try the route. Recorded spawn points do not establish drop rates, guaranteed respawn times or guaranteed completion time. - Reference: - ### 9. [Log observations without changing the source claim](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/8/log-observations-without-changing-the-source-claim) Item ID: `8` - Notes: Note the region, patch, point and observation time for any discrepancy. One unsuccessful visit is an observation, not enough to prove that a recorded location is permanently wrong. - Reference: - ### 10. [Update the checklist after the session](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/9/update-the-checklist-after-the-session) Item ID: `9` - Notes: Mark only pets you actually collected. If a target is incomplete, record what remains and preserve the distinction between planned and completed progress. - Reference: - ### 11. [Export a backup before changing browsers](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/10/export-a-backup-before-changing-browsers) Item ID: `10` - Notes: Save a JSON export and keep a dated copy where you can find it. Browser-local progress should not be assumed to sync to another device or survive cleared storage. - Reference: - ### 12. [Import with merge behaviour in mind](https://listium.com/@zenanythin/151216/aion-2-pet-collection-a-12-step-session-checklist/11/import-with-merge-behaviour-in-mind) Item ID: `11` - Notes: A valid backup adds known pets to the existing collection. Missing or empty entries are not a reset command. Keep the previous export if you want a recovery point. - Reference: -
