A regional reset item exists; global steps are not verified
NC names Soul Codex: Reset in Korean/Taiwanese event rewards. That does not confirm the global item, menu, currency cost, cooldown, or outcome. Wait for global English-client evidence before performing a potentially irreversible reset.
What NC Officially Confirms
An NC news release dated February 23, 2026, names a bound item called Soul Codex: Reset among login attendance event rewards for the operating Korean and Taiwanese service. This corrects an older assumption that no direct official item evidence existed. It confirms the item name in that regional context, not a global procedure.
The same announcement does not provide the reset menu, button path, currency cost, number of uses, cooldown, or complete result. Steam and the reviewed global pages also do not supply those fields. A reader cannot safely reconstruct an irreversible workflow from the item name alone.
The global PC version launches later through Steam and PURPLE. Whether it includes this item at launch, uses the same translated name, or implements the same behavior remains unresolved. Every operational statement below therefore stays a test requirement rather than an instruction.
Do Not Mix Similar Reset Terms
Soul Codex: Reset, Soul Codex, Soul Binding, and a weekly reset are not interchangeable labels. The official P0 evidence names only the regional event item and does not define every adjacent mechanic. Treating one term as another can create the wrong expectation about what is consumed or changed.
A community database describes a bound consumable that resets binding on already bound gear, while a community Korean post distinguishes a reset button from a reset scroll or item. Those sources are useful leads but are not NC operation manuals. Their mechanism claims are not promoted to conclusions on this P0-only page.
The global client must supply the exact English nouns used on the item, menu, confirmation dialog, and result. A guide should quote those interface concepts in paraphrase only after observation. Until then, the safest answer is not to assume that “reset” means refund, reroll, unbind, or weekly refresh.
Why There Is No Step-by-Step Reset Yet
A step-by-step reset guide would need a verified starting menu, eligible target, required item or currency, confirmation text, and final state. None of those fields is complete in global P0 evidence. Inventing even one button can lead a player into the wrong system.
The risk is higher because a reset may consume a bound item or alter equipment-related state. The project’s source discipline requires explicit evidence before describing costs or irreversible consequences. A blank step is written as TBD rather than disguised with generic interface language.
When the global client is available, testing should use a low-risk eligible object and stop at the final confirmation screen before committing unless the outcome is already known. Capture the complete dialog, input state, and cancellation path. The final action should never be performed merely to make a guide look complete.
Safety Checklist Before Any Reset
Confirm that the client is the global English build and note its patch date. Read the full item tooltip and target eligibility, then record every displayed currency, item quantity, limit, cooldown, and warning. If the client does not clearly state the result, cancel and leave the state unchanged.
Check whether the action affects one item, one binding result, an entire codex, or another layer of progression. Those outcomes are materially different and cannot be inferred from the word reset. Also check whether the action can be repeated and whether any preview shows the post-reset state.
Avoid translating a regional video into a global click path without verifying every label. Menus, terminology, and costs can change between services and patches. If a guide cannot show its global source, treat the procedure as unverified.
How the Global Procedure Will Be Verified
The first evidence set will identify whether Soul Codex: Reset exists in the global item database or client and how it is obtained. The second will record where the eligible action appears and what conditions enable it. The third will preserve the complete confirmation and result screens.
Costs must be recorded as exact official item names and quantities, not converted from community shorthand. Limits must distinguish per item, per character, per account, daily, weekly, and event-only conditions. Consequences must state what changes, what remains, and what cannot be recovered.
A second controlled observation should reproduce the path on the same patch before publication. If any step depends on a regional event item unavailable globally, the page should say so rather than substituting another mechanic. The report will retain screenshots and source dates for future patch review.
Regional Evidence and Global Availability
The NC attendance-event announcement is authoritative for the regional item name and reward availability in that event. It is not an announcement that the global PC launch includes the item. That boundary allows the page to acknowledge real evidence without overstating its scope.
Community database and forum material may help distinguish candidate meanings, but the task requires P0-backed conclusions. Their explanations are therefore not used as global mechanics. They remain leads for what the English client should verify.
This page was checked August 30, 2026, before global launch. Its purpose is to prevent an unsafe invented procedure while reserving the correct URL for a later verified guide. Updating the pending fields is preferable to publishing a second page when official evidence arrives.
Official AION 2 Media
This verified official trailer is included as general global media only. It does not show or explain a Soul Codex reset, and no reset instruction is inferred from it. The eventual walkthrough requires a readable global item, menu, confirmation, and result.
Reset Procedure Remains Pending
The item name has direct regional evidence, but every safety-critical global field is open. Because the action may be difficult to reverse, this page will not infer missing steps. Only a verified global English flow can replace the following TBD entries.
