For the 7th Birthday of AION EU, we called on you to get creative with our character creator and tell us a tale "Of Heroes and Villains". We wanted to see how you would imagine the beacon of hope for the Asmodians - or the steadfast protector of the Elyos. And what would their ultimate adversary look like? We were blown away by the sheer number of participants and the level of enthusiasm you´ve shown!

From all submission, we picked our favorites and crowed our winners - one in the category "Asmodian Hero vs Elyos Villain" and one for "Elyos Hero vs Asmodian Villain".

Greetings, Daeva!

It's Halloween and ghastly figures like witches and the undead are creeping or sweet-begging kids are wandering around the streets of Atreia. We're celebrating this festive season with you all and have prepared some treats!



All of Atreia is enjoying the tricks and treats of Halloween, yet there is one person who has actually fallen victim to real horror: fairy Ariate has been kidnapped by Rukibuki and thrown into a cage. Rukibuki hopes to use her angelic voice to lure visitors back to the circus, which has been in debt for years.

Enter the instance with up to 5 fellow players and save Ariate from slavery in the circus ring! But be careful, Rukibuki and his henchmen won't give her up without a fight...
Look for Ariate's fairy friends, they will take you to the circus immediately.

NPC: Arari (Asmodians; entrance to Pandaemonium); Arika (Elyos; entrance to Sanctum)
Event duration: 31/10 to 9/11/2016
Minimum level: 30
Player count: 2 to 6

As a reward there's chests laden with treasures, which include Stones of Growth amongst other rewards, which you can then exchange with Gold alchemists for XP. Keys are required to open the chests, which you can loot from opponents in the instance.

Alternatively, you can purchase the necessary key for this chest in the AION Shop from 31st October.

The detailed loottable will be available on Monday. For further information about the event, check out our guide here on the board.



You have until 16th November to exchange the Stones of Growth that you earn as Rukibuki Circus rewards with the Gold Alchemists in the towns in Nosra and Esterra for experience points.

NPC: Romestan (Asmodian); Edward (Elyos)
Event period: 31/10 to 16/11/2016
Minimum level: 66

Miserly mini Daevas!

I, the Pumpkin King, am disappointed in this year's pitiful festivities in honour of my name. The gathering of treats and dressing in laughable outfits... you understand this as homage? Bah! This is a disgrace! If you want my blessing you are going to have to work for it!

Cut me your best pumpkin face or make the most beautiful or disgusting mask in all of Atreia and you will receive a reward from me.

From 27/10 until 9/11, you have the opportunity to pay homage to the Pumpkin King. To do so, all you have to do is cut a pumpkin lantern in the style of an AION design. No matter if a Shugo or the evil end boss of an instance – there are no restrictions placed on your imagination.

Pumpkin carving not your thing? No pumpkin available? No problem! The Pumpkin King also likes colourful AION masks. Take part in one of the two categories and perhaps you'll win some fantastic ROCCAT gaming gear!

Conditions

• You can only take part in one of the two categories.
  
• Send photos or videos of your works to the following email address: contest@aionfreetoplay.com
  
• Your pumpkin or mask must be clearly photographed or filmed, so that it is recognisable.
  
• The submission has to include a series of photos or a video depicting the process of creation.
  
• Include either the word 'Pumpkin' or 'Mask' to your subject line when composing your email.
  
• In your submission email, please include the email associated with your game account and state your character name and server.
  
• Participation Requirements

From a simply scary face to a masterpiece: your design could be anything. Permitted are game scenes, faces or monsters from Atreia – anything goes, provided it comes from the world of AION.

Light up your AION pumpkin with a candle and send us a photo or video.

We'll pick out the two best pumpkins and give each of the winners the following prizes:

• A ROCCAT Kiro Mouse
  
• To go with it, the ROCCAT Taito Control mouse pad
  
• A Succubus Costume
  
• An emote card: 'Halloween spook'

Dressing up us a firm staple of Halloween tradition, as much as pumpkin carving. For this reason, alongside the carvers, we are looking for mask makers. The masks can be simple (e.g. a paper-mache face, painted and attached using an elastic band), but it does have to have an association to the world of AION.

The best two mask makers will then receive the following rewards:

• A ROCCAT Renga Headset
  
• A Succubus Costume
  
• An emote card: 'Halloween spook'

We, and the Pumpkin King, look forward to seeing your entries!

Update 5.1 introduces the Luna Cube. It contains a dressing room, in which you can store costume skins and reuse them at your leisure. Additionally, it provides you with access to two new mini-instances and offers regularly changing options and designs for the production of new costumes or furniture for your home. Moreover, the Luna Cube offers you the opportunity to teleport directly to fortresses.

Speak to Elly who can be found in every large city. She will be able to tell you more about the Luna Cube and also gives out quests for Takki's Adventure.

To be able to use the new function, you will need Luna Coins. They can be acquired in the AION Shop.






You can produce a mysterious chest each day for free, which will contain valuable Luna materials. Additionally, it is possible to produce random designs of the day. Each character receives a different variant.

Karunerk's Special Design offers you the chance to produce mighty equipment items using the materials you acquire in Luna Cubes (for example in Takki's Adventure). The availability of the items through production is however limited. The recipes will be switched out every 6 weeks.





Your favourite costumes and wing skins are stored in Dodonerk's Dressing Room, so that you can use these as much as you please.

The first two slots are available at no cost. If you need more space, you can expand your dressing room by using Luna Coins.

The appearance modification of items that you have carried out in the dressing room can be reversed there. You can find a corresponding note in the tooltip for the adjusted item.

Notes:

• Costumes that are stored in the dressing room can be overwritten.
  
• Costumes that are stored in the dressing room can no longer be removed and used further.

With Kuntana's help you can hire mercenaries to bring into fortress battles with you. You can also teleport yourself directly to fortresses.

Note:
Hiring mercenaries increases the rewards earned when participating in fortress battle.





The 'Takki's Adventure' feature offers you access to two mini instances. Speak to Elly to accept the associated quests.

Reach the highest rank in these instances to be richly rewarded. Amongst others, you can earn crafting materials for Karunerk's Workshop and experience bonuses for your character.

In both solo instances you transform into a mercenary and receive special abilities that you can only use within the instances.


The evil scientist Doctor Stein has unleashed a virus that transforms creatures into the undead. Only you can stop him and prevent the whole of Atreia from falling victim to the epidemic!



The Hell Pass is a defensive instance. Support the troops in battle against the undead army and defeat the waves of monsters as they come.

You can visit this instance daily. You can even visit it more frequently if you invest some Luna Coins.


In this factory there are some terrible things going on. There are destructive weapons being made behind closed doors for a large-scale attack on Atreia, which needs to be stopped at all costs. Good luck!



The Weapons Factory is an attacking instance. Accompany troops and lead them into battle against mad Madrunerk's Shulack army.

This instance can be visited once per week. You can even visit it more frequently if you invest some Luna Coins.





If you spend Luna Coins, you earn additional rewards, including a key. You can use this to open Munirunerk's Treasure Chamber, which then can give you upgrade serums, manastones and much more.
