Roll the dice for great prizes!



Luna Dice Game

Running: 13/12/2017 - 10/1/2018


The dice are yet to fall: our new game in the Luna system lets you roll for valuable prizes!


Grab the dice and win great items like the Farside Lightning Dragon King's Enhanced Weapons Chest, the All-Powerful Enchantment Stone, the Box of Refined Feathers of the Lord, Prigga's Cutting-edge Armour Chest and much more.

How the game works:

Roll and win: there are different reward levels that are represented as chests. To start your dice rolling, you will need Luna.

Let the dice fly

You roll 5 dice in the game. Every throw gives you the chance of a prize, represented by a laughing Shugo. But what would a game be if there was no losing? Should this befall you, a blue Shugo will be shown.


You can stop rolling at anytime – or keep going until you have won on all 5 dice. No matter when you stop, you keep all the rewards you win.

Golden Dice

Now things get interesting: as soon as you win on all 5 dice, you will get the chance to roll the Golden Dice. Naturally, for the Golden Dice that win, there are greater rewards than those from the normal dice. The Golden Dice can only be rolled once and you will have to pay Luna for every roll.


If Lady Luck leaves your side with the Golden Dice, you also here keep your rewards that you have earned – rewards such as the Green Chest (A). In addition, you will receive a consolation prize – for example, an item from the Green Chest (AA). So the attempt should still be worth your while.


Here, there is the option to have the dice roll automatically until they all win. If you select this option, the corresponding amount of Luna will be withdrawn. Alternatively you can roll the dice yourself each time by clicking on the button.

What does all this fun cost?

The game starts with your first roll. This will cost you 20 Luna. Every subsequent roll then costs 2 more Luna – up until a maximum of 40 Luna per roll. Even if you have reached the maximum, the first roll of a game will always cost 20 Luna.

Rewards

If your rolls win, you will be rewarded with boxes that have different levels. Once all dice have been rolled or you have decided to leave the game, you will receive a random item from the box you have won.


Depending on the roll, you can earn either 1 or more boxes of the same level.













Get the Boost!

Running: 13/12/2017 - 20/12/2017


Start fresh – you’ll soon be in the fast lane in Atreia with the +100% XP boost. Seize this opportunity and earn yourself more experience points.


Have fun!

Juicy wins in the Solorius Lottery




Winter has come to Atreia and not only does it have snow and candlelight in store but exciting in-game events too! Collect playing cards in the massive Solorius Lottery or upgrade your snowflakes in Snow in Atreia... we’ll be handing out rewards for both!

Buff Snowman

Over the holidays there will be an extra special guest in the capitals! Pay the Event Snowman a visit from 06/12 to 13/12 and he will give you a random chest.

Solorius Lottery

Running: 6/12/2017 - 10/1/2018


Santa Shugo has granted countless wishes over the past few months, including the wish for a Solorius Lottery. He's spared no effort and made sure that the cards are on the table this year as well!

What's this about?

Collect different combinations of playing cards from 6/12/2017 to 10/1/2018 and win cool prizes – including the items Farside Lightning Dragon King's Sublime Weapons Chest, Godstone: Khrudgelmir's Silence, Godstone: Bollvig's Love and +8 Estima.
With a little luck, you’ll be able to get all the cards and in doing so, earn the main prize: you’ll receive an in-game message that lets you choose which of the eight types of +14 Feathers you'd like.
Additionally, you will also receive other valuable main prize items. You can read more below the news.

What are playing cards?

There are a total of 24 different playing cards with the usual 4 symbols you know from poker, for example: clubs, hearts, diamonds and spades. Each suit contains an ace, king, queen, jack, 10 and a joker. Collect various combinations of cards to win valuable prizes.

An overview of the individual suits



Where do I get the playing cards?

During the event period, you will receive one free playing card in the AION-Shop per account per day. Only characters who have reached level 15 will be eligible to receive free cards.


To increase your chances of winning, you can purchase additional cards in the AION shop. Starting 6th December, they will be available as individual cards or in bundles of 24 or 100.


Please note:

  • Please note that the cards are generated at random - some will appear frequently, others less so.
  • You can receive up to 36 free cards per account over the entire event period.

Note: Accounts created after 28/11/2017 (11:59 PM CEST) will not be included in the allotment of free playing cards!


All cards will be deleted from the inventory during the server maintenance on 10/1/2018.

What prizes can I win?

There are loads of prizes that require various card combinations in order to win. A complete overview can be found below this news article.

How do I receive my prizes?

When a playing card is given out, we save the information about which card it is in our database. This gives us a constant overview of all the cards in your possession so we can regularly check to see if you have won any prizes. The items will then be sent to you via the in-game post.


A card can be part of multiple combinations. For example, if you have all the cards in the diamond suit, plus the ace of hearts, ace of spades and ace of clubs, you will receive two prizes – one for having the full set of diamonds, plus one for having all four aces, i.e. two +9 Manastone Bundle and two Lodas' Silver Star, as well as 3 Cute Minion Contracts, 50 Minionite, one Gingerbread Man Egg (30 days) and 1000 Aether Cherries. The ace of diamonds thus counts for both.


If you manage to collect all 24 cards, then you will receive every single prize listed once. If you then succeed in collecting all cards twice, you will receive every prize twice – with the exception of the main prize. This will only be awarded once per character.

How do I get the main prize?

If you have had every card in your possession once, we will send you an in-game message. Choose one of eight different varieties of the +14 Feather and respond to the message with the number of your choice. The desired item will then be sent to you afterwards. The rest of the main prize items (see the rest of them listed under ‘all 24 cards’) will be sent to you separately from the item you have selected in the in-game post.

The prizes:



These are the average stats of the enhanced feather:



Snow in Atreia

Running: 6/12/2017 - 27/12/2017
NPC: Snorinerk, Snorunerk
Location: Sanctum, Pandaemonium (by the big Solorius tree)


The landscape and cities are draped in white and silver. Fittingly, this year you can once again take part in the event Snow in Atreia and upgrade Snowflakes. Join in from 6/12/2017 to 27/12/2017 and let the Snowflakes enchant you! These aren't merely frozen water – they're true gifts from the heavens and grant you precious items.

Where do I get the Snowflakes?

Visit Snorinerk by the Solorius tree in the capitals. She'll give you two Snowflakes per day.


Double-click the Snowflake in your inventory. They will either increase by one to three levels, or they will be destroyed. In the case of the latter you'll receive a Crystal of Chance (see below), as well as additional items such as Shugo Game Tokens for taking part in the Shugo Game, depending on the level – the higher the level of the Snowflake, the more valuable the rewards.


If your Snowflake reaches the maximum level 10, clicking the Snowflake one last time will transform it into a Snow Crystal and an Aura Fragment. There is also a chance of receiving a Snow Crystal from level 4 – either when the Snowflake is destroyed, or as a by-product when levelling up (the matching Aura Fragment can be found in the AION shop).


Combine the Snow Crystal and Aura Fragment together and you'll receive a Prisma – an extraordinary bundle that conceals a particularly valuable item, such as the Magic Stone of Level Reduction, the 100% Mighty Manastone Socketing Aid (Mythical) or the [Jakunerk] Weapons Chest of Bygone Atreia.


Crystals of Chance which you receive from destroyed Snowflakes can be brought to Snorunerk until 27/12/2017. For every 10 crystals you'll get a further Snowflake.


Alternatively you can also loot Snowflakes from instance bosses (each member will receive one flake for a victory). Just like the Aura Fragments they'll be available in the AION shop too starting on 6th December.

Here are the rewards:
