AION Free-to-Play News

Thrilling battles are waiting for you in Aphsaranta! However, you can only enter Aphsaranta from level 81 onwards... Not got that far yet? No problem, a real Daeva doesn’t let that stop them! Just create a fully equipped level 80 hero and nothing will stand in your way of conquering Aphsaranta!


[h3]Your Sprint Character[/h3]
Running: 28th September to 19th October

Get additional benefits from your daily login during this event by creating a fully equipped level 80 hero and starting your Aphsaranta adventure!

Here’s how you get your level 80 hero: in the character creation section of the game you just have to click on the ‘Sprint Character’ button to create a new hero character who is already level 80. This is only possible during the event period and you can only create one sprint character per account. If this character is deleted, it can’t be restored. Please also note that you can only create a hero if you have not already exceeded your maximum number of characters.

Fully equipped: To make sure you can get started with you new hero straight away, you’ll get Urlisiel’s equipment, Yasba’s Grace, a few Kinah and some other items. Your sprint character will automatically receive [Helper] +9 Stigmas matching their class, which can also be mixed with normal Stigmas. In addition, equipping Stigmas only costs 1 Kinah during the event period!

More action and variety are coming to Atreia thanks to brand new content such as the Daeva Pass, additional transformations and updated Corps Quests! In the following, you can get an overview of what you can expect from Update 8.4:

[h3]Notes on the Hero Trials[/h3]

• We reserve the right to add, remove, change and adjust both the quests as well as the rewards for the permanent version of the Hero Trials at any time.
• The Hero Trials marked ‘[Account]’ can only be completed once per account.
• You can collect your rewards from the mailbox in the shop. You can assign them to a character from there (Manage bonuses → Allocatable rewards).
• Defeated monsters count towards the quest if you have gained XP by killing them. If you die, you don’t get any XP, and the monsters you killed don’t count towards the quest.
• Playing the Hero Trials may cause performance issues due to high system utilisation. This may lead to the Hero Trials window not being displayed or the quests taking some time to update. In this case, please wait for the system to complete all calculations in the background.
• Since some monsters don’t count towards the quest, please simply kill some more monsters.
