AION 2Match dungeon size to a group
| Format | Source | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Solo instance | Steam about | Solo challenges inside the 200-plus dungeon slate. |
| 5-player party | Steam about | Global store copy lists 5-player party content. |
| 10-player group dungeon | Steam about | Global store copy lists 10-player group dungeons plus Abyss faction war. |
| 4-player dungeon | NC May 2025 press | KR reveal used 4-player groups; do not treat as the Steam global party size. |
| 8-player dungeon | NC May 2025 press | KR reveal used 8-player groups alongside Easy Mode instances. |
The Steam product launching 5 October 2026 prints solo, 5-player, and 10-player as the dungeon slate, with the Abyss as the faction-war space. That is the set you should build a guild around for North America, South America, Europe, and Japan. Odyle Energy is named as the entry resource. Steam does not publish a named dungeon roster or per-boss Odyle cost for the global build.
May 2025 press for the Korea/Taiwan path used 4-player and 8-player groups and Easy Mode instances for newcomers. PURPLE launched that client on 19 November 2025. Chaotic Abyss is the named West versus East PvP space on that live build. Do not merge those party sizes into the Steam table. They stay on this page so you can see the fork, not so you can queue a 4-player dungeon on global.
Odyle Energy is the dungeon-entry resource named in Special Quai Membership notes and in Korea expedition tables. Every Founder's Pack includes a 30-day Special Quai Membership that adds remote storage, personal trading, Wind Breeze Merchants, Market, Quna Exchange, and extra Odyle Energy Cube picks. That membership is the only global note that currently raises the Odyle cap. Without it you still run dungeons on the base pool. Steam still does not print a per-boss Odyle price, so the gate is named, not numbered, until the live global client shows a cost.
Launch Scale Test turned shop, Quna, passes, memberships, marketplace, Quna exchange, and player trading off, and it wiped after Day 2 at a max level of 37. Test clears do not prove your Odyle budget for 5 October. Use LST only to feel the instance length. Spend real Odyle after Advanced Access or launch, when membership and shops can actually be on.
The Abyss is where Elyos and Asmodians clash on Steam. Korea live added Chaotic Abyss as West versus East. Easy Mode is a KR reveal instance type for newcomers, not a global difficulty dropdown we can screenshot on Steam today. If you are coming from the PURPLE client, expect some dungeon names and party sizes to disagree with this table until NC reprints them on app 3393110.
Party size is the practical question. A 5-player Steam party is not an 8-player KR lockout. A 10-player group dungeon is not a 4-player KR run. Build the group against the Steam column unless you are still on the Korea/Taiwan live client. Faction choice decides which Abyss flag you carry. Flight decides whether you can even take the pull in the air. Party size is the practical question. A 5-player Steam party is not an 8-player KR lockout. A 10-player group dungeon is not a 4-player KR run.
For 5 October, write the Steam sizes on the calendar: solo for the nights nobody is on, 5-player as the default group, 10-player when you can fill it, Abyss when you want the faction war. Odyle is the gate on all of those. Special Quai Membership from any Founder's Pack adds extra Cube picks for 30 days and turns Market and Quna Exchange on. LST did not let you practice that economy.
If your friends are still on the November 2025 PURPLE client, they may talk about 4-player and 8-player locks and Easy Mode. Those sentences are true for their client and false as Steam queue sizes. Keep the version buttons on this page handy when a Discord argument starts. Taiwan's live download is about 70 GB on PURPLE; Steam asks for 100 GB on the global build. Install the client that matches the party sizes you actually intend to run.
Write the Steam sizes on a note before you invite: solo when the guild is asleep, five when you have a tank and a heal, ten when both factions can fill. The Abyss is the faction-war space, not a fifth dungeon size. Odyle is the gate on all of those formats. Special Quai Membership from any Founder’s Pack adds extra Cube picks for thirty days and turns Market and Quna Exchange on.
If the group is still on the November 2025 PURPLE client, they may quote four-player and eight-player locks. Those numbers are true for their client. They are not Steam queue sizes. Taiwan’s live download is about 70 GB on PURPLE; Steam asks for 100 GB on the global build. Install the client that matches the party you actually intend to run on 5 October. Special Quai Membership from any Founder’s Pack adds extra Cube picks for thirty days and turns Market and Quna Exchange on after launch, not during LST.
