AION Free-to-Play News

Two high-risk events and powerful rewards await: Beat the challenge in the Rift of Oblivion and reclaim Atreia’s Lost Treasures!

[h2] Event 1: The Rift of Oblivion[/h2]

Battle through the instance, defeat the boss and earn rewards! Prove that you’ve got the tactical skills necessary to survive the Rift of Oblivion. Use the power of nature to clear your path all the way to the final boss.

If you leave the battle victorious, you can expect fantastic rewards like the Luxurious Suit, [Event] Ancient Transformation Contract Selection Box, Ultimate Fragment of Memory and much more!

Running: 7th May (9 AM) to 11th June (8:59 AM CEST)

[h3]Enter the Rift[/h3]

The entrance to the instance is located in the fortresses in Gelkmaros and Inggison. You can enter the Rift of Oblivion once per day.

[h3]Defeat the Shadow of Oblivion[/h3]

Fight your way through the instance and defeat the final enemy: the Shadow of Oblivion! Your rank depends on the number of points you score and how much time is left. The better your rank, the higher your reward will be:

• 21,200 points and 18 minutes left → 4x Sealed Memory Bundle
• 17,700 points and 16 minutes left → 3x Sealed Memory Bundle
• 14,100 points and 10 minutes left → 2x Sealed Memory Bundle
• 9,400 points and 1 minute left → 1x Sealed Memory Bundle

[h3]Instance Tips[/h3]

Take our tips to heart and you’ll complete the Rift of Oblivion with flying colours:

• There are three Teleport Stones along the way through the instance which are activated when you approach them. If you fail and die, you can continue from the last Teleport Stone you activated.
• Recovering Drakan can be found throughout the instance. After you defeat one, there’s a chance that a Drakan will reappear which can score you a lot of points.
• The three Commander Gegares you’ll come across in the rift grant you massive amounts of experience, but they don’t earn you any points. So pick the right moment to fight them.
• The Shadow of Oblivion transforms when its health is low. Adapt quickly or it will win the upper hand.

Some monsters are of certain type which is weak against particular Old High Daevas:

• The Incarnation of Fire is strong against mage type enemies.
• The Incarnation of Water is strong against special type enemies.
• The Incarnation of Earth is strong against assassin type enemies.
• The Incarnation of Wind is strong against warrior type enemies.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]

The [Event] Sealed Memory Bundle contains [Event] Combat Experience Extractors, as well as one of the following items at random:

• Luxurious Suit
• Summer Suit
• Luxurious Felt Hat
• Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1)
• [Event] Ancient Transformation Contract Selection Box
• [Rune] Major Rune Fragment Chest
• [Event] Class S Minionite Bundle
• [Event] Lodas’ Greater Golden Star
• [Event] Lodas’ Greater Silver Star
• Ultimate Fragment of Memory
• Box of Ancient Fragments of Memory
• Legendary Fragment of Memory
• [Event] Class A Minionite Bundle

Please note
The item [Event] Sealed Memory Bundle will be removed from the game at the end of the event.

[h2] Event 2: Atreia’s Lost Treasures[/h2]

The famous archaeologist Indiana Jonshunerk is currently travelling all over Atreia in search of various relics from a long forgotten age. He wants to concentrate on his work and avoid any conflict in the process, so he’s hiring brave Daevas like you! According to the rumours though, some monsters have gone on a rampage around the excavation site and stolen lots of ancient items. Help Indiana Jonshunerk to retrieve the relics and grab yourself lots of valuable rewards!

Running: 7th May (9 AM) to 11th June (8:59 AM CEST)

[h3]The Ruin Relics[/h3]

The lost treasures that you need to recover for Indiana Joshunerk come in 7 different levels. In archaeologist jargon, they’re called ‘Atreia Ruin Relics’. These relics contain even more treasure: the Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1), for example, contains either the Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 2), an Atreia Ruin Relic Fragment or another item. The rewards you can receive increase with each level.

If you collect 10 Atreia Ruin Relic Fragments, you can combine these into an Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1). You can get Atreia Ruin Relics from the AION Shop.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]

You can get the following rewards from the relics:


Please note
The items Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1 to 7) and Atreia Ruin Relic Fragments will be removed from the game after the event is over.

A rift in space and time has opened up in Atreia: Asmodians and Elyos are using the opportunity to advance into Tiamaranta’s Eye once more. Courageous Daevas are setting out to hunt monsters there, looting valuable chests and careering fearlessly into brutal skirmishes! As rewards for the bravest among them, the +12 Extreme Weapon Selection Box, Sakhril and [Motion Card] Fingerheart await.

Running: 6th March (9:00 AM) to 29th May (8:59 AM CET)

[h3]How the Event Works[/h3]

Tiamaranta’s Eye awaits you: Pit yourself against other players in PvP, seize victory for your faction in RvR, go monster hunting or scour the region for exquisite chests.

Face off against powerful opponents every day – defeat Governor Sunayaka and Berserker Sunayaka, and premium rewards will drop for you!

[h3]Entering Via the Rift[/h3]

You can reach Tiamaranta’s Eye via a rift in Gelkmaros or Inggison. Players from any server can join in the fight – the Dimension Hourglass isn’t required to enter.

[h3]Inside Tiamaranta’s Eye[/h3]

Governor Sunayaka or Berserker Sunayaka will appear in the Commander’s Room in the centre of the area at the following times:

• Every day from 1 PM to 1:30 PM → Governor Sunayaka
• Monday to Friday from 8 PM to 8:30 PM → Governor Sunayaka or Berserker Sunayaka
• Saturday to Sunday from 8 PM to 8:30 PM → Berserker Sunayaka

Please note: since enemies will also drop normal items, the alliance/league leader should adjust the distribution settings accordingly (Distribution Settings → Roll Dice: Normal items or above)

[h3]Rental Equipment and Buff[/h3]

For a little Kinah, the NPC Lisnerk in Tiamaranta’s Eye will lend you a completely enchanted set of Acrimony equipment – the [Event] Equipment Chest of Acrimony contains two weapons and armour for you class! The chest and the equipment disappear as soon as you leave Tiamaranta’s Eye.

The NPC Boronerk will give you a free ultimate transformation buff of your choice: Kaisinel, Marchutan, Ereshkigal or Tiamat. The strengthening spell remains for 30 minutes, even after death. But if you leave Tiamaranta’s Eye, the buff will be removed.
The minions’ Buff Master function can override the buff, however. Please deactivate or remove the Transformation Scrolls to avoid this.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]

Protectorate Gold Coins
Protectorate Gold Coins can be earned for completing quests or opening treasure chests. You can trade in your coins for high-quality items with the NPCs Arseus and Lechi.

Treasure Chests
You’ll need keys to open the treasure chests that you will find throughout Tiamaranta’s Eye. You can obtain these from Keymasters, quests or as a drop from monsters.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]

You can find an overview of all possible rewards in our list of rewards.

Note

The following items will be removed from the game at the end of the event: [Rune] Ultimate Enchantment Potion Selection Box, [Rune] Ascension Jam (PvP Attack), [Rune] Ascension Jam (PvP Defence), Tiamaranta’s Eye Treasure Box Key, Tiamaranta’s Eye Treasure Chest Key and Protectorate Gold Coins.

The Black Cloud Merchants are running their popular Shugo Game again! Play to win valuable prizes – including the [Rune] Transformation Contract: Ariel, Hip & Fit Look, [Event] Class A, Level 4 Minion Contract Selection Box (5 types) and many more.

Running: 6th March (9 AM CET) to 3rd April (9 AM CEST)

To take part, you will need Shugo Game Tokens which can be purchased in the shop until 27th March. During the entire duration of the event, you’ll also get three free Shugo Game Tokens per week in the AION Shop.

[h3]How the Shugo Game Works[/h3]

• Click on the Shugo symbol at the bottom-right of your screen to open the Shugo Game.
• Then click on Continue to start the game. This will use a Shugo Game Token.
• Try to upgrade the weapon to its maximum level (8) to earn the highest-level reward.
• Any time you want, you can click on Stop to end the game and you’ll get the reward for the level you got up to.
• It’s also possible for upgrading to fail. Should this happen, you will receive the level 1 reward. If you want to restart the game, you’ll need another Shugo Game Token.
• Using Shugo Game Tokens fills the bar at the top with Shugo Game Points. Once it’s full, this triggers the Nyerk Fever. While active, your chances of successfully upgrading and of winning more valuable prizes both increase.

[h3]Notes[/h3]

• At the end of the event, the Lucky Coins will be removed from the AION Shop. The [Jakunerk] Shugo Game Tokens will be removed both from the AION Shop as well as the game.
• Logging out or switching characters while playing a Shugo Game will automatically give you the prize for the level you got up to. You cannot resume the game where you left off.
• If you reach level 6 or higher and the upgrade fails, you can use two additional Shugo Game Tokens to try again from the level you failed at.
