Starting 5th June, the battles will take place in the following arenas:

• Arena of Discipline
• Arena of Cooperation

The season will run for 28 days. As soon as this period ends, the best fighters will receive their rewards and a new season will begin. Find out if you have what it takes to become a champion!

Running: 5/6 – 19/6


The Black Cloud Merchants are again running their popular Shugo Game in which you can win valuable prizes – including the following items:


The [Rune] Legendary Transformation Contract (7 types), [Rune] Selection Box of Ancient Transformation Contracts (18 types), the Daevanion Skill Chest (10 types), the Battle-hardened Admiral's Robe and the Noble Tailcoat.





To take part, you will need Shugo Game Tokens, which you can purchase in the shop from 5/6. During the event period you will receive three Shugo Game Tokens for free in the AION Shop.

• Open the Shugo Game by clicking on the Shugo symbol at the bottom-right side of the screen.
• Then, by clicking on 'Continue', the game will start and a Shugo Game Token will be used up.
• Try to upgrade the weapon to the maximum level (8) to then earn reward of the highest level.
• Naturally you can click on 'Stop' at any time to end the game and collect the reward for the level that you have attained.
• The upgrading can also fail. Should this happen, you will receive the reward for level 1. If you wish to start from the beginning, you will need another Shugo Game Token.
• By using Shugo Game Tokens, the upper bar fills with Shugo Game Points. Once it is full, the Nyerk Fever begins. As long as this is active, your chances of successfully upgrading increase and it is more likely that you will win more valuable prizes.

Notes:

• You will automatically be given the prize for the level that you got to if you log out or switch to a different character while participating in the Shugo Game. The game cannot be continued.
• If you reach level 6 or higher and the upgrade fails, you will be able to use two additional Shugo Game Tokens to try again from the level that you failed at.
• The event items will be removed from the game once the event completes with the next server maintenance on 26/6.

Running: 29/5 to 12/6

Great Klabautermann! Cap’n Grogget, Commander of the Shulack Pirates, is back. The captain of perhaps the most notorious ship in all of Atreia, the Steel Rake, seeks his revenge upon the Daevas! He has locked away some Shugos in the Steel Rake Fortress and it is now your job to free them. But be warned: you’ll need all the courage you can muster to survive this adventure.


It will be worth the effort for more than just the Shugos: scoop up some amazing items during the event, including the [Event] Legendary Accessories Chest of the Black Flame, the [Event] Refreshing Beach Set Box and the [Event] Box of Legendary Manastones.





Players from level 76 on can enter the Steel Rake Fortress solo instance once per character each day. Entry will be reset every day at 9 AM.


You can grant yourself additional entries with the following:

• Log in daily and remain active for 3 hours to receive 2 [Event] Entry Coins for the Steel Rake Fortress.
• Exchange the [Event] Freeze Frame with Katoshunerk for Entry Coins.
• Make use of the limited sales of Entry Coins in the Gold Sand shop (max. 3 per day).
• Get Entry Coins from the AION Shop.

When storming the fortress you gather keys with which you can free the Shugos. The more successful you are in your campaign against the pirates, the more keys you collect and the richer you will be rewarded.


Speak with Blubberinerk and find out what you need to do. Fight your way to the fortress on a Jet Ski (how cool is that?!). Use the Jet Ski’s weapons: the Drana Bomb and the Long-range Drana Bomb.


Once in the Steel Rake Fortress you will receive the Pipeline Blast Bomb from Blubberinerk to sabotage the fortress pipeline. Destroy 3 Pipeline Controllers with it!


Additionally you will receive the Mounter for Enhanced Rascal: get into the mech and really dish it out to Cap’n Grogget’s minions! To do so, make use of the mech’s full arsenal: Fire Cannon, Spray Drana Acid, Install Bomb and Emergency Repair.


Take out Grogget’s mangy henchmen: Doctor Arcetto, Madame Chichiriko and Captain Muata. Defeat them, grab their Slave Keys and free 10 Shugos!


Finally, give the returned Grogget a scrap he won’t forget.


Once you’ve defeated Grogget, you will receive one key plus one more key for each Shugo you managed to save (up to a max of 10). With this, you will teleport with Blubberinerk to a treasure island, where you can then collect the item ‘[Event] Freeze Frame’ from the Steel Rake chests.


Finally, exchange the Freeze Frames with Katoshunerk for valuable items and enjoy your moment of glory.





Note: the event items will be removed from the game once the event completes with the next server maintenance on 19/6.

Running: 22/5 to 5/6


The business-minded Shugo Boborunerk always knew to turn the events of Atreia to his advantage. But after Ereshkigal’s devastating attack on the Tower of Eternity and her retreat to Lakrum afterwards, a lot changed for Boborunerk. To keep his business up and running, he is now working together with Karunerk of Karunerk's Workshop.





During your forays through Lakrum’s instances you can gather ‘Boborunerk’s Rusty Coins’ from defeated boss enemies.

• Combine the coin with 8,000,000 XP to receive ‘Boborunerk's Special Coin’. You can combine 5 Boborunerk’s Special Coins with Luna's Light to receive an extraordinary reward: Boborunerk's Grandiose Reward Chest! The chest contains random items – including the Legendary PvE Enchantment Stone, the Transformation Contract (62 types), the Box of Level 80 Manastones, the Tattoo Swimwear and the Sporty Swimsuit.
• Additionally level 80 players will receive 3 Rusty Coins a day through the daily login (every 30 minutes).

Your enemies have a set chance to drop the coins in the following instances:

Greetings, Daeva!


We have been watching the populations across the different servers to decide upon and announce the next steps for the character transfer.


There are currently a good amount of players on the Sillus and Stormwing servers. We want to make sure that the other servers are not underpopulated so that all players can adventure on well-filled servers.


The aim of the character transfer is to be able to solve possible conflicts that may have arisen so that players can use their favourite characters once we reactivate the faction limitations on the servers.


This week you will be able to make unlimited transfers to the Odin and Ragnarok servers.


In the coming weeks, transfers will take place under the following conditions:

• Stormwing: Players can transfer to Odin, Ragnarok or Sillus.
• Sillus: Players can transfer to Stormwing, Ragnarok or Odin.
• Odin: Players can transfer to Ragnarok.
• Ragnarok: Players can transfer to Odin.

This arrangement for character transfers remains active until 29/5. The characters of players that do not resolve their conflicts by this date will be transferred automatically afterwards.

Tip: Inactive or low-level characters that are affected by a conflict can also simply be deleted. Less active characters can also simply be moved to another server.

Oh my! Lenarunerk suffers from amnesia and has set up some letters around his new home to ensure that he never forgets his most precious memories. Unfortunately a bunch of mean monsters has broken in and stolen these letters. In his despair, Lenarunerk has turned to the Daevas.

Help Lenarunerk and you’ll be rewarded: look forward to excellent items such as the [Event] Ultimate PvP Enchantment Stones, the [Rune] Ancient Transformation Contract, the Mad Hatter's Costume (male) and Alice's Dress (female)!




Here’s what you need to do to fetch the letters of Lenarunerk’s most important memories:

• Lenarunerk visits the ABYSS for the first time
• The first time he met a DAEVA
• The incarnation of AION saving Atreia from Ereshkigal

The monsters responsible for the theft of Lenarunerk’s letter rows are roving around Lakrum. Give them a good hiding and exchange the letters for valuable reward bundles. Some letters are harder to find than others:

• A, B, E and O appear frequently
• D, I and S appear rarely
• N, V and Y appear very rarely

There is also the chance that the very rare letters to be found in Kirshka's Treasure Chest or the Secret Chest of Jealousy.


Have you collected a sequence of memory letters? Then head to Lenarunerk to exchange them for the following reward bundles:

Letter Collector's Large Bundle for letter sequence ‘AION’
Letter Collector's Normal Bundle for letter sequence ‘ABYSS’
Letter Collector's Small Bundle for letter sequence ‘DAEVA’

Check the full list of rewards here.


Did you collect too many letters? Your efforts will not be in vain, as you will be able to dismantle any unneeded letters (A, B, D, E, I, O and S), granting you the Fragment of the dismantled Letter Card. With 100 of these fragments, Lenarinerk, Lenarunerk’s sister, will give you a Mysterious Letter Bag, which holds one random letter, thereby increasing your chances of attaining a very rare letter.

Note: the event items will be removed from the game once the event completes on 5th June 2019. To ensure you receive all the items you have earned, make sure you use your reward bundles before this date.
