Possible Loot (23rd–30th April)

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 Vintage Denim Outfit, the [Rune] Ultimate 12 Lords’ Transformation Selection Box, the Ultimate Fragment of Memory and much more!

Running: 12th March (9 AM) to 9th April (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 a special type which is weak against a certain Old High Daeva:

• The Incarnation of Fire is strong against magical type monsters.
• The Incarnation of Water is strong against special monsters.
• The Incarnation of Earth is strong against Assassin Monsters.
• The Incarnation of Wind is strong against Warrior Monsters.

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.
