If you have been playing Aion 2 lately, you have probably noticed players running around Atreia waving concert glowing sticks instead of traditional swords and staves. That is because the official K-pop collaboration event is officially live, bringing the popular group fromis_9 straight into the game.

The absolute highlight of this crossover is the limited-edition fromis_9 Light Stick weapon skin. It swaps out your regular weapon model for a sleek, glowing concert-style cheering light stick inspired by the group's real-world aesthetic. It is a pure cosmetic overwrite, meaning it won't alter your combat stats or break game balance, but it definitely guarantees you will stand out during your next raid or town hangout.

Here is a quick breakdown of how to get your hands on the skin and what else you can score before the event wraps up.

How to Acquire the Light Stick Skin

Unlike some rare event drops that require hours of grinding, this particular weapon skin is a premium collectible available directly through the NCsoft Cash Shop.

Where to Find It: Open up your in-game Cash Shop menu. You can buy the light stick weapon skin on its own or pick it up as part of a larger thematic bundle if you want to go all out on the fromis_9 gear.

The Deadline: This isn't a permanent addition to the shop. The skin and its matching bundles are strictly tied to the collaboration period, which is scheduled to run alongside the in-game celebratory events until August 12, 2026. Once that window closes, it is highly likely going into the vault.

Other fromis_9 Collaboration Items Worth Checking Out

The weapon skin isn't the only crossover item available in this update. If you are a big fan of the group (or just love collecting unique cosmetics), the shop and event have a few more themed items running right now:

Transformation Outfits: These are matching outfits pulled straight from the group's promotional video, allowing your character to transform into the likeness of the fromis_9 members.

Themed Pets: You can pick up two exclusive companion pets to follow you around—Baby Flomeow (also known as Baby Flonyang) and Flostick (Flo-bong).

Cosmetic Wings: A unique set of equipment cosmetics called the Four-Leaf Flover Wings.

Interactive Emotes: They have added two choreography emotes for the track "LIKE YOU BETTER". Triggering these will actually start the music, and nearby players can interact to join in on the synchronized dance.

Limited-Time Free Event: The Case of the Stolen Stage Props

If you don't feel like spending real cash in the shop, you should still absolutely participate in the parallel event running for free right now. It is a fun little storyline called "The Case of the Stolen Stage Props."

Find the Stage: Head over to any of the major towns across Atreia and look for the dedicated fromis_9 collaboration stage that has been spawned for the event.

Grab the Quest: Speak to the event NPCs there to pick up "The Case of the Stolen Stage Props" questline.

Track Down the Gear: The storyline will send you out across the world to hunt down and recover missing performance gear that was stolen before the big show.

Claim Free Rewards: Knocking out this questline won't give you the paid weapon skin, but it will reward you with three bonus emotes and an exclusive, limited-edition in-game title to show off on your profile.
