AION 2 Inventory & UI Tips — Autosort, Auto-Use Buffs & Supply Requests

AION 2's interface hides several efficiency features that are easy to miss for weeks — inventory management, hotbar economy and a turn-in system most players ignore until they learn what it pays. This guide collects the practical ones from KR/TW server play, labeled community-level: these are player-verified habits, and UI details can shift between builds, so treat specific icon positions as directional.

Quick answer

Quick answer: Six habits worth adopting on day one: ①right-click to swap gear (faster than select-and-click) ②autosort button for a messy bag ③filter tabs (gear/consumables/materials/misc) ④watch for the scroll icon = supply request — turn drops in instead of dismantling ⑤always hit Max on turn-ins ⑥drag consumables downward to enable auto-use, saving hotbar slots for the buffs you actually need at your fingertips.

The six tips in detail

1. Right-click to swap gear. Instead of selecting a piece and clicking the equip button, a single right-click swaps it in. The source's framing: "You're swapping through gear much quicker than selecting and clicking."

2. Autosort the bag. The icon with two squares and an up-arrow sorts your entire inventory. Do not hand-drag items into comfortable slots — one click does it.

3. Use the filter tabs. Tabs split the bag by gear / consumables / gathered materials / miscellaneous. When the bag is full, filtering is faster than scrolling — the same source says they use it "all the time."

4. The scroll icon means a supply request is available. Certain items show a small scroll marker — it flags the item as usable in a turn-in request. Clicking it shows pending requests for that item, and how many are needed (e.g. 0–5).

5. Turn drops in — do not dismantle everything. Gear that drops below your equipped quality (grey/green/blue) can feed supply requests for better rewards than dismantling. This is the tip with the clearest payoff: the system pays for junk you would otherwise destroy.

6. Auto-use buffs from the bag. Only items with the down-facing bracket icon support this: select the consumable, drag it downward, and the bracket turns into a yellow line — the item now auto-uses without occupying a hotbar slot. Not every consumable qualifies (mana potions do in the source's example; some wind potions do not), so keep the critical buffs on the bar and auto-use the rest.

Why these matter more than they look

AION 2's world is 36 times larger than the original's and built around flight — travel time is a real cost, and bag friction compounds it. Small interface wins (a click instead of three, a turn-in instead of a dismantle) add up across a leveling session; the supply-request habit in particular converts otherwise-dead drops into progression currency.

FAQ

Do these tips work in the global version? They come from KR/TW server play and the global build is the same game lineage — but UI details can shift; verify icon positions in the global client after launch (to be verified per build).

What is a supply request in AION 2? A turn-in system: certain items (flagged with a scroll icon) can be delivered to fill requests for rewards — often a better use for low-quality drops than dismantling.
