Greenhaven Garden has been opened especially for the Daevas, giving them a place to put their gardening skills to practice and grow some plump pumpkins for Halloween. The watering cans, spades and bags of organic fertiliser are waiting. But what’s that? Fiendish pests are trying to attack the plants, threatening this prestigious garden project – this can’t be allowed to happen! Help the other Daevas to defeat the pests.

In this event you can pick up rewards such as the Locked Selection Box of Halloween Transformation Contracts, the [Event] Halloween Pumpkin Weapon Selection Box and many more. Additionally, you can reap loads of experience points during this event!

Running: 5th October to 2nd November



[h3]Greenhaven Garden[/h3]
From level 80, you can enter the garden once per day by using the portal in the Gelkmaros Fortress or Inggison Illusion Fortress.

You can choose between two difficulty levels:
Normal: Recommended from level 80. You receive 1x [Event] Pumpkin for each saved plant.
Hard: Recommended from level 85. You receive 2x [Event] Pumpkin for each saved plant.

If you want to enter the garden more often, pick up the [Event] Extra Ticket for Greenhaven from the AION Shop.


[h3]Save the Plants[/h3]
As soon as you enter the garden, you’ll have to go after the pests to save the plants. A timer counts down from 60 minutes, displaying how much time is left.

Beautiful Greenhaven Fladia, Arbour Fladia, as well as marvellous Greenhaven Frightcorn and Arbour Frightcorn flourish in the garden. But pests like the Dukaki Thief and Greenhaven Tenaklu are attacking in several waves that you need to repel. You can use Combat Support to make a stand against the attacks.


[h3]Time to Harvest[/h3]
Get harvesting once the plants have reached their Harvesting Stage. Depending on the difficulty level, each plant contains 1 to 2 Pumpkins. You can exchange the blossoms for valuable rewards with the kind NPC Screamer. You’ll find him in the Gelkmaros Fortress or the Inggison Illusion Fortress.





Please note: The items [Event] Pumpkin, [Event] Extra Ticket for Greenhaven, Locked Selection Box of Halloween Transformation Contracts and Key for Locked Selection Box of Halloween Transformation Contracts will be removed from the game after the event is over.

The Black Cloud Merchants are running their popular Shugo Game again! Play to win valuable prizes – including: the +9 Extreme Weapon Selection Box, Cursed Spirit’s Robe, and Transformation Contract: Lumiel and many more.

Running: 5th October to 2nd November

To take part, you will need Shugo Game Tokens, which you can purchase in the shop until 26th October. 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 continue the game.
• 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.
