AION Free-to-Play News

Prove that you’ve got the tactical skills and fight your way through the Rift of Oblivion. Use the power of nature to clear your path all the way to the end boss. If you leave the battle victoriously, you can expect fantastic rewards like the [Event] Lord’s Sacred Water, [Event] Lodas’ Greater Golden Star, and the Legendary Fragment of Memory.

Running: 6th July to 27th July


[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.

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!

Running: 6th July to 3rd August

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.

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!

Greenhaven Garden has opened its gates for all Daevas to garden to their hearts’ content. The watering cans, spades and bags of organic fertiliser are waiting. But what’s that? Lots of different pests are trying to attack the plants, threatening this prestigious garden project – this can’t happen. Help the other Daevas to defeat the pests!

In this event you can pick up rewards such as the Mermaid Robe, the Marine Top and many more. Additionally, you can reap loads of experience points during this event!



Running: 1st June to 29th June


[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] Lotus Blossom for each saved plant.
Hard: Recommended from level 85. You receive 2x [Event] Lotus Blossom for each saved plant.


[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 lotus blossoms. You can exchange the blossoms for valuable rewards with the kind NPC Gymir. You’ll find him in the Gelkmaros Fortress or the Inggison Illusion Fortress.





Please note: The item [Event] Lotus Blossom will be removed from the game at the end of the event.
