If you’re playing Aion 2, you know that Centuryroot Tokens (CRT) are a key resource for powering up your character and unlocking special rewards. However, unlike other in-game currencies, these tokens aren’t farmed endlessly in the open world—they’re tied directly to Shugo Festival mini-games. Maximizing your token gain requires a careful balance of timing, strategy, and efficient use of your reward keys.

The Core Method: Shugo Festival Routine

Centuryroot Tokens are exclusively earned through Shugo Festival mini-games. Every run offers card-selection opportunities at the end, where your placement determines how many tokens you can claim. Here’s the best approach:

Secure Reward Keys First

You need Shugo Festival Reward Keys to claim tokens. Free-to-play players get 1 key per day (capped at 7 per week), while subscribed players get 4 keys per day (capped at 28 per week). Don’t waste these keys—planning is key.

Prioritize High Placement

Finishing in top positions gives 4–5 card-selection attempts, significantly boosting your CRT yield. Low placement often yields 1–2 selections, which isn’t worth spending your valuable keys.

The Golden Rule

Never redeem keys after a poor run. Hoard your keys and only use them when you’re confident of finishing high. This ensures each key produces the maximum possible tokens.

Following this approach turns each run into a high-efficiency farming session.

Best Route and Progression Strategy

Because CRTs are gated by keys, your progression should focus on optimizing your daily mini-games and leveraging the achievement system.

Suggested daily routine:

Run Fast-Paced Mini-Games

Choose short, high-scoring mini-games to quickly complete your runs. Prioritize games on the rotation menu that can be finished under 2–3 minutes for maximum efficiency.

Target the “Centuryroot’s Heart” Achievement Route

Track the Centuryroot’s Heart achievement in your journal. Milestones—like collecting your first 100 tokens—unlock bulk token bundles. These milestone rewards accelerate your collection far beyond normal daily gains.

Check Seasonal Timelines

Unlike other currencies such as Oath Coins, Centuryroot Tokens carry over across seasons. You can stockpile them without worrying about expiration, allowing for strategic accumulation over weeks.

By following this routine, you can steadily increase your token bank while avoiding wasted keys and suboptimal runs.

Prioritized Spending Route

Once you’ve collected tokens, use them wisely at the Festival Shop:

Tier 1 – Essential: Spend on Wisdom Stones and Daevanion Crystals. These are critical for endgame progression and time-gated, so prioritize them first.

Tier 2 – Utility: Use remaining tokens on Soul Codexes to enhance equipment attributes.

Tier 3 – Cosmetic: Spend any leftover tokens on festival wings, skins, pets, and home décor. While fun, these are non-essential and should come after progression needs are met.

This tiered approach ensures every token contributes to meaningful character growth.
