Play for valuable items from 9/1 to 13/2.



The new year will be all-action: you’ll be able to once again gather up some valuable rewards together with friends from 9/1 to 13/2.

Wealth in Danger

In a total surprise, Ereshkigal has managed to make a decisive strike: her army has taken the Treasure Island of Courage and is now occupying the Daeva race track. Her intent is cold and calculating: she plans to take the wealth of the region that is set out for the Daeva.



Three clever Shugos, Lararinerk, Gogoshunerk and Kikurinerk, were however able to save some of the keys and Alchemical Insignias in the final moment. Unfortunately their airship was hit by Abyss debris during their escape and the wealth of the Treasure Island of Courage was spread all over Lakrum.


Get the following items before they fall back into Ereshkigal’s hands: the [Rune] Ultimate PvE Enchantment Stone, [Rune] Ultimate PvP Enchantment Stone, the Daevanion Skill Chest, the Transformation Contract: Cat or Baa and the [Event] Alchemical Proof: Sealed Legendary Daeva Protector (Selection Box).

Kikurinerk trades Abyss treasures for Abyss Points.

It’s the hottest month of the year: exciting events and premium rewards!



To mark the end of the year we’re presenting more fantastic events that you can use to clean up on rewards.



Lucky Dice

Running: 12/12 to 9/1


The Shugos are already in a festive mood and are feeling generous: roll the dice for valuable items – what you get depends on the field you land on! Throw the dice and play a few rounds on the game board. There’s rewards such as the Snowflake, the [Rune] Special Form Contract, the Solorius Costume, the Solorius Beret and the Ultimate PvE Enchantment Stone to be won.


You can open the game using the corresponding icon (golden die). To take part, you will need dice. We will be giving you one every week in-game, provided you have a character on your account who is level 65 or higher.


Additionally, you will be able to collect three free tokens daily in the AION Shop. To get the tokens from the shop, you will need to have at least one character who is level 30 or higher. In total you will receive a wonderful 22 free dice per week.


Each die lets you move between 1 and 6 fields. You then receive the correspondent prize and the field will be marked with a green cross. If you’ve travelled the length of the game board and land on a field that you already visited, you will skip it and continue to the adjacent field.


Note: The game board will be reset every Wednesday, no matter if maintenance is taking place or not. You then start again at the beginning and the green crosses on visited spaces will be removed.
In total there are four boards, of which one will be selected for you at random.

Hungry Magpie

Running: 12/12 to 9/1. Location: Lakrum


Evil scholars in Atreia are letting little magpies starve. This can’t be allowed to continue! Show these evil scholar leaders that they aren’t to mess with Daeva and earn some great prizes, including examples such as the
New Year Wings, the [Event] Arch Kerubiel Minion Contract, the [Event] Legendary PvE Enchantment Stone and the [Event] Legendary PvP Enchantment Stone.



The little magpies have lost their parents and if that wasn’t bad enough, the evil scholars are now stealing their favourite food! It’s up to you to help the little magpies and get back their much-loved [Event] Cocoa Fragment. Complete the quests, gather 10 fragments and receive XP as well as the [Event] Bundle of Sweet Chocolate which will include some valuable rewards for you.


The evil scholars will appear in set locations every 5 to 10 minutes. If you defeat them, there is a chance they will leave the [Event] Cocoa Fragment behind.


The evil scholar leader always appears at 8 PM in set locations. If you beat him, he will also leave you a reward. As the evil scholar leader always has a busy schedule, he will only be available in Atreia on the following days:
14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd, 23rd, 25th, 26th, 28th, 29th December and also on 4th and 5th January.

Please be aware that the chests that you get with the Magpies Event [Event] Selection Bundle of Ancient Transformation Potions for New Year's 2018 and [Event] Selection Bundle of Legendary Transformation Potions for New Year's 2018 will be deleted on 09.01. You will have to open it if you wish to keep the potions after the event is over.

Free

Get dressed up and you can look like a scholar too (without doing the little magpies any harm): the AION Shop has the elegant Hanbok available for free!

Snow in Atreia

Running: 12/12 to 9/1


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 and let the Snowflakes enchant you! These aren't merely frozen water – they're true gifts from the heavens and grant you precious items, including the [Jakunerk] Lucky Dice, the [Motion Card] Ice Skate, the Classy Solorius Cloak, the Solorius Festival Floral Crown, the [Rune] Special Transformation Contract and the Ultimate PvE Enchantment Stone.

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. If the latter happens, you will receive a Crystal of Chance.


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 2 – 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.


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


Alternatively you can acquire Snowflakes in the AION Shop or loot them from the bosses in the following instances: Mirash Refuge, Garden of Knowledge, Holy Tower, Makarna of Bitterness, Narakkalli and Prometun's Workshop.





Enjoy the event!

Roll the dice for great prizes!



Luna Dice Game

Running: 28/11/2018 - 9/1/2019


The dice have yet to land: play and win some great items such as the Transformation Contract, the Cute Minion Contract, the Lightning Steed - Dodge Weapons (30 days), the Party Outfit, the Box: Hell Steed, the Luna Silver Chest and plenty 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 any time – or keep going until you have won on all 5 dice. No matter when you stop, you keep all the rewards you win.


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.

Golden Die

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


If Lady Luck leaves your side with the Golden Die, you also here keep your rewards that you have earned. You will also receive a consolation prize – the attempt should still be worth your while.

What does all this fun cost?

Each roll costs you 5 Luna. The game with the golden dice costs 80 Luna per roll.

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.


Have fun!

Save the festivities and be rewarded with fantastic items!




We are grateful for the feedback from the AION Community regarding the latest Moon Festival and we have adjusted the event accordingly: from now it will be easier to receive the event item [Jakunerk] Minced Meat. Enjoy!

Save the Moon Festival from 21/11 to 12/12 and grab valuable items. You can look forward to rewards that include the Tetragon Hopper Box, the Legendary PvE Enchantment Stone, the Legendary PvP Enchantment Stone and the Pixel Weapons Chest!



The Moon Festival is a traditional festival that sees the whole family come together. Lively discussions, fun games and lots of food are the order of the day during this celebration.

But because of the war against Ereshkigal, this year lots of Daevas are running late with preparations for the festivities. As well as this, many sons can't return to their families because they're still bogged down in battles.

So it's up to you to save the Moon Festival! One family needs a lot of help in particular to gather all the ingredients they need so they can make a Moon Cake Dish. Talk to the father and son first and receive a daily quest. Once you've done that, hand over the Moon Cake Dish to the mother and you'll be rewarded with [Jakunerk] Ring's Kindness.

Don't know much about baking? Don't worry - we've put together the recipe here for a tasty Moon Cake Dish:
  • [Jakunerk] Steamed Rice
  • [Jakunerk] Red Beans
  • [Jakunerk] Grain
  • [Jakunerk] Minced Meat
  • [Jakunerk] Moon Cake Batter
The Moon Cake Batter can be obtained when you log in daily (1x hourly, maximum 20 per day). You'll receive the other ingredients as a reward for completing quests and defeating boss opponents.
