UPDATE 8.4 PREVIEW



AION 8.4 coming soon! Brand new content, exciting adjustments and a raft of improvements to your favourite game!


[h3]Here Comes the Daeva Pass![/h3]
With the Daeva Pass, we are introducing a brand new game feature that will replace our Lugbug missions – you can look forward to more action and challenges through daily, weekly and seasonal missions. Complete the missions to advance the level of your Daeva Pass. The higher the level, the better the rewards you can earn.


[h3]Brand New Corps Quests[/h3]
Even more variety comes in the form of the newly updated Aphsaranta Corps Quests of the Elyos and Asmodians: a new season brings you the Ladies Lumiel and Yustiel! The items of the previous season will be removed, making way for new holy relics you can obtain through a unique quest that can only be completed 1x per character. You can get the Lord’s Sacred Water, which you need to upgrade the relics, in the shops of NPCs for Corps Insignias, or you can craft it through Magical Crafting.


[h3]Continuation of Kerub’s Short Tutorial[/h3]
Following the great success of seasons 1 and 2, the popular ‘Kerub’s Short Tutorial’ will be extended by a 3rd season – of course, including lots of useful rewards again!


[h3]Additional Transformations[/h3]
This update also introduces two new Ultimate Transformations to the game: take the form of Lumiel or Yustiel, enjoy your character’s new, epic look, and give your enemies hell!

EVENTS: HARVEST AND MOON RABBIT



[h3]Harvest Revel Festival[/h3]
Autumn is coming to Atreia and while working in the fields in preparation for the festivities, the Daevas have discovered a great number of Harvest Revel Coins. Since these coins are very much sought after, it will be a simple task for the Daevas to rake in some valuable rewards in exchange.

Running: 7th September to 28th September


[h3]An Autumnal Shop Offer[/h3]
Get a brilliant and limited pack in the AION Shop: The Harvest Revel Pack contains a selection of high-quality items such as transformation contracts, Polishing Stones, Manastones, and Enchantment Stones.

Additionally, you also receive the [Rune] Harvest Revel Coin. You can exchange the coin for various items in the game. You can purchase this pack up to 5 times per account.


[h3]Exchange the Coins[/h3]
The Harvest Revel Coins are especially sought after by the ‘Autumn Harvest Master’ NPC, whom you can find the in the Gelkmaros Fortress or Inggison Illusion Fortress. He gladly accepts the coins in exchange for some high-quality rewards – including items like the [Rune] Legendary Hanbok Transformation Box (4 types), the [Rune] +3 Extreme Equipment Box and many more!



Please note: The item [Rune] Harvest Revel Coin will be removed from the game at the end of the event.




[h3]The Moon Rabbit’s Wish[/h3]
The Moon Rabbit made a wrong turn at Anturoon and is now lost in Atreia. Until just recently, he spent every minute of his day fervently praying for his wishes while minting Wishing Coins. He was so anxious about it that he accidentally dropped his bag of Moonluck.

He’s now trying to find his lost wishes in Atreia, but it’s turning out to be extremely difficult. So he has turned to the Daeva for help and promises to give them the rest of his possessions in return.

Running: 7th September to 28th September


[h3]Get the Moonluck[/h3]
The Moonluck item contains the [Event] Moon Rabbit’s Dream, plus a variety of various random items. It can be purchased in the AION Shop either individually or as a bundle of 11. You can also get 1 free Moonluck per week and account!

As a thank-you for returning his coins, you can take the coins to the Moon Rabbit and exchange them for precious items like [Motion Card] Wish Lantern, [Event] Ultimate Extreme Enchantment Stone and loads more!

THE ANNIVERSARY EVENT



In honour of AION’s 13th anniversary, we’re celebrating the Dreamscape Festival – join us and grab some amazing loot! You can look forward to rewards such as the [Event] Transformation Contract: Aphsaranta Adventurer, the [Event] Anniversary Transformation Box, the [13th Anniversary] Daevanion Essence Bundle and many more.

Running: 31st August to 28th September


[h3]Your Entry to the Dreamscape Festival[/h3]
Enjoy the festivities, have a friendly chat with the heroes of the opposing faction, receive loads of XP, fight your way through a solo dungeon and get rewarded – and this is how it works:

Once you’ve reached level 76 or higher, enter the Dreamscape using the ‘Big Wheel’ in the Gelkmaros Fortress or Inggison Illusion Fortress. No, you’re not dreaming! In the Dreamscape, you automatically gain 750,000 XP – per minute, and even more with the right items. You can even chat to players from the opposing faction here, as well as find the entrance to the ‘Trillonerk’s Secret Gold Vault’ solo dungeon. Additionally, this is also where you can find the Ticket Shop, the Vitamin Fairy and Boparobo (more information on these NPCs below).


[h3]Daeva Day[/h3]
During the event period, you can pick up the attendance list, which every player from level 10 receives through logging in on a daily basis. Through this list, you can get rewards like the [13th Anniversary] Daevas Coin, the [Daevanion Coupon] 13th Anniversary Gift, and the [Event] Transformation Contract: Aphsaranta Adventurer. The items can only be received once per account. The daily login counter is reset every day at 9 AM.

Experienced heroes can benefit from yet another bonus: if you’ve reached at least level 80, you’ll receive a Daevas Coin for every 30 minutes you’re online.


[h3]Trillonerk’s Secret Gold Vault[/h3]
All players level 80 and above can enter the solo dungeon twice a week for free. Each week, you can purchase 4 additional entries at the Ticket Shop. One ticket costs about 15,000,000 Kinah, depending on tax.

Upon entering the dungeon, you transform into the Black Ranger and receive a set of special skills. Use these gifts to get rid of the monsters within the given time. Your rank will then be calculated based on the points you have achieved. The better your rank, the better your rewards:

Rank S receives 6x Imperial Chest Key, Rank A 4x Imperial Chest Key, Rank B 3x Imperial Chest Key, Rank C 2x Imperial Chest Key, and Ranks D to F go empty-handed.

Keep an eye out for bosses, as they will grant you huge amounts of XP! Once you’ve been victorious, open Trillonerk’s Safe and the chests contained within and reward yourself with Daevas Coins.


[h3]Exchanging the Coins[/h3]
You’ve earned quite a few coins during the Dreamscape Festival – at least 20 of them? Then exchange them with the NPC Boparobo for items like the Ultimate Equipment Packaging (Level 83), the [Event] Anniversary Transformation Box, the [Event] Stigma Enchantment Stone, or others – you’ve earned it!


[h3]The Power of Nezekan and Zikel[/h3]
You want to feel the power of Nezekan and Zikel? The Dreamscape Festival has got you covered! Talk to the Vitamin Fairy and choose the transformation buff you’d like to receive. It remains for 5 hours – even after you’ve died or gone to another place.


[h3]Your Rewards[/h3]
You can find an overview of all possible rewards in our list of rewards.





Please note: The items [Daevanion Coupon], 13th Anniversary Gift, [13th Anniversary] Daevas Coin, and Trillonerk’s Secret Gold Vault will be removed from the game after the event is over.




THE MOONBEAM ENERGY



The Shugos like to tell each other legends of a strange natural phenomenon where a mysterious moonlight fall on Aphsaranta at the beginning of autumn. Those who collect the Moonbeam Energy are said to be granted a free wish.

Tommnerk has heard that all one had to do was pick up enough Moonbeam Energy to be able to make a wish. He asks the Daevas for help so that he can see the moonrise in Aphsaranta. However, you must take the energy from nasty Moonlight Wights who want to use the free wish for malicious purposes.

You won’t want to turn down Tommnerk’s plea for help because helping him will surely pay off for you: Grab items like [Rune] Minion Partner Fragment, [Event] Royal Exquisite Hanbok, [Event] Legendary Daevanion Skill Chest and many more!

Running: 31st August to 28th September


[h3]Collecting Moonbeam Energy[/h3]
Throughout Aphsaranta, hunt the Moonlight Wights that cause mischief everywhere. There’s a 100% chance they’ll drop [Event] Moonbeam Energy. Every single wight you defeat brings you closer to your reward!

Once you’ve collected enough energy, bring your loot to Tommnerk, who is waiting for you in the fortresses of Gelkmaros and Inggison. Exchange the Moonbeam Energy for great rewards and make your personal Daeva dream come true.

If you play in a group, chance decides which group member receives the energy of a defeated wight.


[h3]Celebrate the Beginning of Autumn[/h3]
In Atreia, preparations for the autumn festivities have just been completed and wonderful decorations await you in the capital cities of Sanctum and Pandaemonium!

Also offer your help to NPC Catchmoon, who can be found in Sanctum and Pandaemonium, as well as the Guardian Garrison and the Archon Garrison in Aphsaranta. Here, you receive the Harvest Revel Buff:
Physical and magic attack +100
Accuracy and magical accuracy +220
Hit points +3,000
Attack, casting and movement speed +2%





Note: The items [Event] Moonbeam Energy and [Rune] Minion Partner Fragment will be removed from the game after the event is over.




THE BRAXES ARE ON THE LOOSE!



Take your eyes off them for just a moment and the Braxes will take their chance and run away from the Shugos. That’s exactly what has now happened in Balaurea, and the responsible Shugos are ashamed for being so careless and once again ask the Daevas for help. But this undertaking turns out to be more difficult than expected since Braxes can be extremely stubborn. Now the Daevas are forced to resort to more drastic means: a bomb is needed!

Hunt the Braxes and earn items like Cowboy Clothing, [Event] Lord’s Sacred Water, [Event] Noble Abyss Treasure and many more!

Running: 3rd August to 31st August


[h3]The Hero Trials[/h3]
During this event, special Hero Trials await you in which you must use a special bomb to ‘talk some sense’ into the Savage Braxes. To obtain the bomb, you must first prove that you’re not as irresponsible as the Shugos. After all, not everyone is allowed to carry a bomb around in Balaurea. So kill some monsters in the first quest and earn the bomb – then it’s time to really get down to business:

Hunt the Braxes and ‘appease’ them with your bomb. The Braxes will drop event items for you that can be exchanged for rewards at the end of the event.


[h3]The Brax Bomb[/h3]
Every two days, the following Hero Trials quests will be available in which you’ll have to kill monsters in Balaurea. They will be available for 24 hours and you can be rewarded with [Event] Brax Bomb for completing them.

Please remember to always assign them to the same character, otherwise the quest [Account] Hero of the Braxes cannot be completed.
  • [Account] Hunting in the South
  • [Account] Hunting in the South-east
  • [Account] Hunting in the Underground


[h3]On the Hunt[/h3]
Once you are in possession of the bomb and a new day has dawned, the Savage Braxes will appear around Inggison and Gelkmaros. You have 24 hours to complete your mission.

You really want to hunt all of the escaped Braxes? Then complete the quest at least 10 times and you’ll automatically complete the [Account] Hero of the Braxes quest, which gives you amazing rewards!


[h3]Energy of the Outlaws[/h3]
Savage Braxes drop the item [Event] Energy of the Outlaw, which you can exchange for rewards at the end of the event:

1,000 [Event] Energy of the Outlaw → 3x Combat Experience Extractor
2,000 [Event] Energy of the Outlaw → 3x Lodas’ Greater Golden Star
3,000 [Event] Energy of the Outlaw → 2x [Rune] Ultimate PvE Enchantment Stone
4,000 [Event] Energy of the Outlaw → 25x Master Essence
5,000 [Event] Energy of the Outlaw → 1x [Rune] Jorgoth’s Half-Weapons Chest

You’ll also receive all preceding rewards. For example, if you have reached 3,000 points, you will also receive the rewards for 2,000 and 1,000 points.


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

Please note that there may be problems due to a high system load. 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, you might need to kill additional ones.

The items [Event] Brax Bomb, and [Event] Energy of the Outlaw will be removed from the game after the event is over.
