While the culture of the 2nd Floor is different from that of the 1st, belief in the high elven faith remains just as deeply rooted. Its aspects are slightly different, however, with certain areas worshipping a "Cow-Headed God" in addition to the elves. Some researchers believe this is due to the high presence of cow-type monsters on the 2nd Floor, with these cow-oriented customs serving to mitigate the ire of those creatures.

Just as a vast Elven labyrinth sleeps beneath the 1st Floor's main gate, a massive core stone—said to contain part of the heart and magic of the Twin Priestesses—rests beneath the transfer gate of Urbus, the 2nd Floor's greatest city.

Increases damage dealt to enemies, but also increases damage taken.

Goal: Become the greatest blacksmith in all of Aincrad—good enough to forge weapons worthy of an epic boss fight! Notes on what it'll take: 1. Skill as a smith → Nothing gets off the ground without this integral step. 2. Materials → Can't make anything worth selling without them. Need to be able to gather them myself. 3. A shop → Aim to open on the third floor to start. Once we push further, might need to think about moving up to a higher floor... I'm going to forge weapons folks can wield with confidence. I swear it! — Message from an adventurer

Around one millennium ago, nine races lived together on the earth, and two Sacred Trees, one black, one white, maintained balance across all of creation. The dark elves who worshipped the black tree formed the kingdom of Lyusula, while the forest elves who worshipped the white tree formed the kingdom of Kales'Oh. The benediction of the Sacred Trees, along with the powerful magic that stemmed from each of them, led both races to great prosperity among the nations of the world. The elven towers found across Aincrad are not made of wood, nor stone, but a magical substance known as elven steel, demonstrating just how advanced this ancient civilization was.

Elves are a species that live in harmony with trees, refusing to fell them and actively despising the iron so often used to destroy woodlands. To this end, their buildings do not use wooden frameworks. They instead burn dead and rotten trees, mix the ashes with special soil, and cast spells to create smooth, solid walls incorporating elven steel. Buildings made using these materials are typically minimalistic, and are expected to evoke tranquility and exist in harmony with nature.
