AION Free-to-Play News

The Black Cloud Merchants are running their popular Shugo Game again! Play to win valuable prizes – including: [Rune] Ultimate Re-rollable Chest: Light & Shadows (12 types), Hip & Fit Look, [Event] [Emotion Card] Halloween Spook and many more.

Running: 12th March (9 AM) to 9th April (9 AM CEST)

To take part, you will need Shugo Game Tokens which can be purchased in the shop until 2nd April (8:59 AM CEST). 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]

1. Click on the Shugo symbol at the bottom-right of your screen to open the Shugo Game.
2. Then, by clicking on Continue, the game will start and a Shugo Game Token will be used up.
3. Try to upgrade the weapon to the maximum level (8) to then earn reward of the highest level.
4. There are 4 different level ranges: 1–3, 4–5, 6–7 and 8.
5. Naturally you can click on Stop at any time to end the game and collect the reward for the level that you have attained.
6. 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.
7. 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.

Possible Loot (19th–26th February)



Possible Loot (26th February–5th March)

A glowing meteorite shower has descended upon Gelkmaros and Inggison, revealing a hidden entrance to the Secret Hellpath. Explore the area and defeat the monsters before they invade Balaurea. Awards await you like the Transformation Contract: Yustiel, [Rune] Class S Minion Contract Selection Box (10 types) and the +6 Extreme Equipment Chest!

Running: 12th February (9:00 AM) to 12th March (8:59 AM CET)

[h2] Venture Down the Hellpath[/h2]

Speak with Snoopinerk who will give you the task to enter the Secret Hellpath. Then it’s up to you to defend Atreia against the monster invasion for 20 minutes.

Use the Energy of Protection dropped by fallen monsters – destroying them gives you a currency which you can spend on weapons for the instance, as well as improvements to your skills.

Depending on how well you do during the defence, you’ll receive the following rewards:

• 10:00 minutes remaining and 500,000 points earned → 3x [Event] Camo Chest Key, 3x [Event] Experience Crystal and 1x Investigation Report about the Secret Hellpath
• 7:30 minutes remaining and 220,000 points earned → 1x [Event] Camo Chest Key, 1x [Event] Experience Crystal and 1x Investigation Report about the Secret Hellpath
  If you have less then 7:30 minutes remaining and earned fewer than 220,000 points, you’ll go away empty-handed.

During your battle on the Hellpath, it’s possible that you’ll meet a nasty Wildcat. Defeat it and then grab the Incognito Key and the Key for Gold Camo Chest. Using the Incognito Key you can open the door behind which the Gold Camo Chest is located. Please note that you’ll lose both keys as soon as you leave the instance.

[h2] Get Meteorite Debris[/h2]

As a reward, you can get a [Rune] Orichalcon Hammer from the Camo Chest or the AION Shop. You can use this to process the remnants of the Glowing Meteorite to get the [Rune] Glowing Meteorite Bundle.

You can either use a hammer to receive one bundle or use 30 hammers to get 33 bundles (or 36 with a little luck).

[h2] Rewards[/h2]

You can get your hands on the following rewards:



[h2] Note[/h2]

The items [Event] Key for Gold Camo Chest, [Rune] Orichalcon Hammer, [Rune] Glowing Meteorite Bundle, Snoopinerk’s Gift Pack, Incognito Key and Entry Scroll for the Contaminated Hellpath will be removed from the game and AION Shop after the event.
