Immortals!

From February 11 to March 3, visit the capital park, complete Thais' quests, and receive all the items for a perfect romantic date!


It looks like something did not go quite right in the research centre. One of Flavius' was able to influence a dryad and "manipulate" it, but not quite as expected. The dryad has fallen in love with the immortals and sends them bouquets with declarations of love in an attempt to get their attention.

This dryad will stop at nothing to send gifts, rewards, and romantic letters confessing their personal, deep, and unyielding love for you! Players should keep their eyes open to spotting bouquets of Triffids, currency awards, consumables and sometimes even a letter.

The dryad has a chance of appearing after each PvE battle that you complete.



This daily quest allows you to become a love spreading cupid! Thais provides you with a temporary cupid-archer appearance and with a special skill. Use these newfound abilities to find specific boys and girls in the Park of Aelion and make true love blossom!

Thais will give you hints as to who your targets are.

Locate the specified character, use Thais' temporary event skill, fire a gold-tipped arrow into the heart of the NPC, and let love do the rest!



Throughout the duration of the event, you will be able to earn Rose Quartz. Use this currency at the Aelion Event Shop to obtain fantastic costumes and themed items.


 



This Valentine's Day, love may be everywhere, but it is in the hearts and souls of the Immortals of Aelion that we want it to be felt the most.

We wish you a pleasant celebration! <3

Immortals!

You battle invaders bravely, but the enemy does not relent. The Oceanids continue their advance on Aelion. Their invasion will last a week longer –– until January 15, 2020.



Use this time wisely! Try to complete as many seasonal challenges as you can to collect all rewards. Fight the champion incarnation of Tol-Monter and unlock the bonuses of the new Aspect of Vengeance. If you haven't unlocked all specializations in the Temple of Deeds yet, you can get up to six trophies from the training version of the avatar!

Don't forget to eliminate distortion bosses. Earn the maximum number of points in the Sinking Feeling event –– it has been extended as well and will end together with the Oceanid invasion. You can ensure 10 days of special rates for yourself, and if you defeat the champion incarnation of Tol-Monter, you will receive a Sailor Costume and Headwear!



Good luck!

The Draconids have mobilized their forces in the Toxic Wasteland of Terra. As their lasers bore into the planet’s crust, a metal malevolence skulks in the shadows. Amp up and rage against the Draconid machine in Rock and Metal, a brand-new Skyforge expansion!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B561mcJdK0o
 
The Draconids of Terra are formidable opponents. The Immortals deciphered their language, studied their culture, and foiled their attempts to conquer the Heart of the City in a previous adventure. However, the Draconids have now set their sights on a dark excavation beneath the Toxic Wasteland, and what they unearth beneath their impenetrable energy dome may tip the scales of power on Terra.

In this new adventure, you’re tasked with navigating these industrial badlands safely, exploring the area, defeating Draconid patrols, and finding a way into that dome. Amidst the scorched earth, toxic swamps, deadly fumes, and Phytonide hordes, you’ll encounter plenty of hazards and resistance efforts, but intelligence can be gleaned from certain safe zones. Fighting your way to the dig site will be tough, but it shouldn’t be much of a problem for Aelion’s finest!

Beneath the dome, a terrible enemy lies in wait. The Draconid base’s commander, Kerax, is a hulking, monstrous cyborg who has melded his scaly flesh with deadly machinery. This is a heavy metal threat of the highest order – bring him down to stop the excavation, and save Terra from the Draconids’ plans! To find out more about the Toxic Wasteland adventure, check out our dedicated article.


 
Unleash a new Elder God form. The Aspect of Vengeance is a powerful ranged form that can be accessed by any class, while being the default Aspect for Archers, Outlaws, and Gunners. This gigantic blue marksman wields mastery over bows and plasma cannons, and can summon divine lightning, volleys, and punishing weapons from the sky. Utilise the Aspect of Vengeance’s supreme deadeye abilities, and let none escape your sights alive!

• Astral Cannon (Weapon Switch): The Aspect of Vengeance’s bow is transformed into a cannon that rapidly fires energy charges. This ability alternates your standard attack between Piercing Flare and Melting Shot.
• Piercing Flare (Left-Click): Unleash your vengeance, and launch a ranged assault on enemies directly and within the area of effect! Targets affected by Storm Charge will take extra damage, while a damage wave with a 5 yard radius will also be created around them. Attacked targets will also take further damage if they’re within 5 yards of a Thunder Barrier. After the effect is over, you will receive 2 charges for the Astral Cannon ability.
• Melting Shot (Left-Click): Fire a powerful plasma projectile to dish out area of effect damage to groups of enemies. Combine the Melting Shot with Thunder Barrier to increase damage and the area of effect!
• Storm Charge (Right-Click): Deals electrifying damage to the area around a selected target, and to all enemies close to a Thunder Barrier. Targets will receive damage for 5 seconds.
• Thunder Barrier: Loose six arrows into the sky, which form a line when they fall. For 15 seconds, any enemies that cross the line will be damaged and paralysed for 2 seconds. Even strong enemies can be caught in the barrier!
• God’s Fury (Ultimate Ability): A weapon of terrible judgement appears in the sky and fires 4 shots at enemies with a 30 yard radius, singling out targets with the most health. The weapon will then fall in the densest area of enemies, dishing out huge damage!

If you haven’t unlocked any powerful Elder God forms yet, it’s easier than ever before. After you’ve worked your way through the Temple of Deeds and completed all the Halls, you will gain access to the Hall of the Elder Gods. Here, you can unlock Aspects. You’ll need Avatar Trophies, which you can get by playing through an Invasion, defeating the new Training Avatars and the main Avatar of the Invasion, and claiming their Trophies. Rack up Avatar Trophies from Invasion events to unlock the Aspect of Vengeance, Aspect of Magic, Aspect of Tenacity, Aspect of Rage, and Aspect of Mercy.

The Oceanid Invasion will be active in Skyforge until January 2020, giving you enough time over the holidays to send the monstrous Oceanid Avatar, Tol Monter, and his Training Avatars back to the briny ocean depths, and claim their Avatar Trophies! For more details about the Aspect of Vengeance, have a look at the dedicated article.



Skyforge: Rock and Metal is available now as a free update for PC. The update will be released for PlayStation 4 on December 17th, and for Xbox One on December 18th. If you want to see all the new changes in the Rock and Metal expansion, check out our dedicated patch notes.

For those about to rock, Aelion salutes you!

It's time for winter fun in Skyforge! From December 17, 2019 to January 8, 2020, the Winter Celebration will take place in the game. Participate in winter festivities and have fun!


You will find many seasonal items and emotes that can be purchased with Icy Gems!

Complete holiday quests and earn Icy Gems! They can then be exchanged for unique accessories or mounts in the Market. This year we added the following items to the holidays section:

• Blizzard Experimental Skates,
• Immortal on Ice emote,
• Winter Fun emote,
• Winter Patterns Tattoo Set,
• Winter Celebration Halo (2 styles),
• Winter Mystery Helmet (2 styles),
• and color options for your favorite costumes!

 

 
A giant Ice Arrow track has opened in Aelinar. You can also visit the training track, Silver Road. Test your skills in a solo run or compete against other players. Everyone can participate in the competitions. The tracks can be accessed through the adventure list.

And make sure to visit the tracks during Happy Hours! Participate in speed skating competitions from 12:00 to 13:00 and from 19:00 to 21:00 to receive an increased number of Icy Gems.

A new set of holiday challenges awaits you – complete them to receive a special portrait center and decoration!

• Herald of Winter: During the event, defeat five immortals in rated PvP as a Cryomancer.
• Winter Training: Complete three sessions on the Silver Road track and earn at least 750 points in each session.
• Unbeatable Speed Skater: Win first place in a skating race on the Ice Arrow track at least five times.
• Flawless Performance: Cross the finish line on both skating tracks without falling once. Reward: new portrait center.
• Professional Speed Skater: Complete the main challenges related to the Silver Road and Ice Arrow skating tracks. Reward: new portrait decoration.

 


During the event, log into the game and go straight to the park! You will find a present under the holiday tree! You will get one present every day until you collect all 14!


When you enter an adventure, you may run into Asterius, learn the history of the holiday, and receive a few cryocapsules. With these items, you will earn a snowball for every victory over a monster. Snowballs will also come in handy when you encounter a Khelp Prankster in an adventure (Squad, Group, or Invasion).

All picked-up weapons will change their appearance during the event. Khelp Pranksters are a special subspecies of Oceanid that has lived on Aelion since ancient times. They become active during certain periods. All they want to do is disrupt the Winter Celebration.

Without a divine form, the only thing you can use against them is a magic snowball. They are truly bizarre creatures! These Khelps will try to steal your loot in Squad or Group adventures (Nerion’s Castle or Aristel's Farm). If you don't pelt them with snowballs as soon as they show up, they will grab your loot and run off, laughing triumphantly. And if you succeed, you will get the Khelp's loot as well. We know they always have at least one stolen gift with them.

The small chest may contain fireworks, snowballs, or Icy Gems. Or all three, if you are lucky!

If you want Khelp Pranksters to never bother you again, you can get a special amulet. Check the Events section of the Market.

Participate in events, collect Icy Gems, purchase special costumes and mounts, but most importantly, have fun!



Happy Winter Celebration!

In the upcoming Rock and Metal update, all elder gods will be able to access the Aspect of Vengeance. You will need an Avatar Trophy to unlock its bonuses and new features. The gold node, for instance, will allow characters to use the ether essence of distortion generals to upgrade their equipment!

If your Temple of Deeds is not fully unlocked yet, we have good news for you: in the new update, you can get up to 6 trophies from the training version of an avatar, which will unlock all divine specializations. You will need trophies from the champion version to learn Aspects.


 
The Aspect of Vengeance is armed with a bow which transforms into a cannon and can summon lightnings that strike enemies. If enemies get too close, you can create a barrier of arrows and then use it to boost your abilities.

 

The best part comes when you unlock the nodes of the new aspect. They grant the character several nice bonuses and extra mobility – after unlocking the gold node, you will be able to use special sparks to upgrade your equipment. They are unique for each invasion army. You can get them in the third distortion – one spark is guaranteed when you successfully complete your first run of the day. The rest drop with a certain chance.



 
These sparks add unique attributes, increasing damage to enemies of the corresponding army. Minimum bonus is 2%, maximum is 9%. When applied again, sparks increase the bonus by 1%. One legendary artifact can have 3 different attributes, meaning you can deal increased damage to three different invasion armies. Epic and rare artifacts can have 2 and 1 attribute(s) respectively. Keep in mind that modifying the artifact – adding, upgrading, or replacing attributes – costs credits.

Artifact attributes are not the only way you can increase your damage to invaders. Flavius's laboratory offers a few bonuses. To save you the effort of calculating the combined bonus of all the nodes and attributes, we added these attributes (damage to army) to the stat list.

If you want to change an attribute, you can use a Spark of Potential. You can get only four per invasion – one for each completed distortion. When applied, it can replace the selected attribute with a bonus to damage to another army. Using this spark will reduce the stat value by 1-3 points. For example, during an Oceanid invasion, you upgraded the bonus to damage to them to 9%. But when the enemy left Aelion, you decided to change this bonus. When you apply a Spark of Potential, damage to another army will be boosted instead, but the new bonus will be 6, 7, or 8%.



The new aspect will be available to all PC players on December 17!

Avast ye landlubbers! Across the vast oceans of Aelion the Oceanids have rallied around the Great God Tol-Monter for yet another full-scale assault on the surface world. Now Immortals are notoriously poor swimmers... sinking like a stone, despite all their divine glory. Unless you’re all gilled up like the one and only Protheus, this can make our aquatic foes fairly tricky to take on. Best option? Sink them before they can sink us!

From December 10 to January 7, our goal is a preemptive strike against the leaders of the Oceanid Invasion. We ask that all Immortals aim to take on the distortion bosses as early as they unveil themselves. Each victory will count towards a total score across all servers and platforms, leading to grand rewards and blessings!


A successful victory against a distortion boss will count as one point towards the total score. The magically sealed Khelp Lorro, the vengeful Naiad sisters Alciona and Melia, the keeper of vast Oceanid knowledge Wise Latanu, and the instigator of Aelion’s remnants Nautilus.

• Week 1: A1 Lorro the Cold
• Week 3: A2 Alciona and Melia
• Week 5: A3 Wise Latanu
• Week 5: A4 Nautilus

Defeating the distortion bosses before they have a chance to retaliate will leave Tol-Monter all the more exposed. A successful victory against the Great-God’s Avatar, whether it be Training or Champion, will count as an additional point towards the total score!


As you face off against the Oceanids, and the total score increases, your rewards will grow greater:

• Goal 1: 6,000 Points
• Goal 2: 7,000 Points
• Goal 3: 8,000 Points

Aeli’s Blessing
For each goal reached, additional days of Aeli’s Blessing will be activated for a total of 10 days upon reaching the final goal. While Aeli’s Blessing is active, Credits and Knowledge of Enemies obtained from adventures are increased by 50% for every Immortal!

Sailor Outfit
Your triumphs against the Oceanids and their tumultuous waves will be aptly rewarded with the Sailor Outfit!

Personally defeating Tol-Monter’s Champion Avatar during the course of the event will reward you with the blue color variant.

So, brave the waters and take on the most powerful of the abyssal Oceanids! Only then will we be able toss these flailing fish fiends off our lands and back where they belong! Aeli will reward your bravery...just try not losing your step.
