A character's appearance can become surprisingly important after several hours in Aion 2. During the initial character creator, it is easy to focus on getting into the game and overlook small details. Later, after seeing the character in combat, different environments, and a wider range of equipment, those details can become much more obvious. The good news is that a Customization Voucher gives players a way to correct the design without deleting an established character or losing their Aion 2 Items.
This is particularly helpful for players who have already invested time into leveling and collecting Aion 2 Items. Instead of rebuilding from scratch, you can keep the same character and change its physical appearance. The customization system covers areas such as the face, hair, and body shape, giving you a reasonable amount of control over the redesign.
Starting A New Look
On PC, begin by pressing ESC to open the main menu. Select the Customization tab to enter the character redesign screen.
Once inside, you can use the available sliders to adjust your appearance. There is no need to make a complete redesign if you are happy with most of the character. Small changes to facial features or proportions can sometimes be enough to make the character feel much better.
If you are planning a dramatic change, take a few minutes to explore the options first. It is easy to move several sliders and then forget what the original design looked like.
Think Before You Confirm
The voucher is consumed when you confirm and save your new appearance. That makes the final confirmation the point where you should be completely satisfied with the result.
I recommend checking the character from several angles before saving. Hair can change how the face appears, while body proportions can look different after equipment is applied. A design that seems perfect in one view may not feel quite as good once you return to normal gameplay.
There is no advantage to rushing this part. The actual menu navigation is quick, so most of the time should go toward deciding what you want the finished character to look like.
When You Should Use The Closet
The Customization screen is not designed for every cosmetic change.
If your goal is to change outfits, armor skins, or weapon decorations, the Closet is the better choice. PC players can press H to open the Style Shop menu.
This distinction can save your voucher for when it actually matters. Changing your equipment style is different from changing the character's face or body, so it makes sense to use the system designed for each type of adjustment.
Once you start collecting different cosmetic options, the Closet can become the place where you regularly experiment with your look.
Getting Customization Vouchers
The first place to check is your in-game mail. A free, bound Customization Voucher was distributed to players to allow post-launch appearance adjustments.
Another possible source is Twitch Drops. By linking your account and watching participating Aion 2 Twitch streams for at least 30 minutes, you can qualify for a free voucher when the applicable campaign is running.
Players who own the Ultimate Pack have another source through the included Styling Chest. The chest contains a standard Customization Voucher as well as a seven-day appearance voucher.
Finally, vouchers can be obtained from the in-game store using premium funds. Since free options exist, checking your available rewards before spending premium currency is a sensible move.
Build And Save Your Presets
The preset system is worth paying attention to if character design is something you enjoy. You need to reach level 10 before the full customization screen features for saving local files are unlocked.
After that, you can save favorite face templates locally. You can also upload designs to the Style Shop and share them with other members of the community.
The Style Shop is not only useful for sharing. You can browse designs created by other players and download presets that you like. This can be a huge time saver if you have a particular appearance in mind but do not want to spend a long session adjusting every slider.
It is also useful to keep your own favorite presets. If you eventually want to try a completely different appearance, having a saved design gives you a reference point.
Avoid Unnecessary Spending
Because appearance changes are separate from normal progression, it is worth deciding how much you actually care about redesigning your character. The free voucher may be enough if you only want to correct a few launch-day decisions.
Players who frequently change their appearance may eventually want additional vouchers, but there is no reason to rush into purchasing one before trying the customization options and checking available rewards.
Final Thoughts
A Customization Voucher makes it possible to fix an appearance you have grown tired of without abandoning a character that already has significant progress. Once you understand the difference between the Customization screen and Closet, save useful presets after level 10, and check free voucher sources first, the whole process becomes much easier, especially if you plan to buy Aion 2 Items and want to keep your character customization budget under control.
