You won’t just find the keys for the locked treasure chests in the open world; there will also be tons of other precious and rare loot (only active during the Hero Trials) – pay a visit to the regions Gelkmaros, Inggison, Dumaha, Red Katalam (North) and Aphsaranta and defeat the monsters!


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

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.

The locked treasure chests, their contents and the keys to unlock the chests will be removed from the game at the end of the event.

A rift in space and time has opened up in Atreia: Asmodians and Elyos are using the opportunity to advance into Tiamaranta’s Eye once more. Courageous Daevas are setting out to hunt monsters there, looting valuable chests and careering fearlessly into brutal skirmishes! As rewards for the bravest of them, the [Rune] Jorgoth’s Half-Weapons Chest, the [Event] Shimmering Abyss Treasure and the [Motion Card] Windfire Rings await.

Running: 11/11 to 1/12


[h3]How the Event Works[/h3]
Tiamaranta’s Eye awaits you: Pit yourself against other players in PvP, seize victory for your faction in RvR, go monster hunting or scour the region for exquisite chests.

Face off against powerful opponents every day: Defeat Governor Sunayaka and Berserker Sunayaka, and premium rewards will drop for you!


[h3]Entering Via the Rift[/h3]
You can reach Tiamaranta’s Eye via a rift in Gelkmaros or Inggison. Players from any server can join in the fight – the Dimension Hourglass isn’t required to enter.


[h3]Inside Tiamaranta’s Eye[/h3]
Sunayaka will appear as governor or as Berserker Sunayaka in the Commander’s Room in the centre of the area at the following times:

• Every day from 1 PM to 1:30 PM → Governor Sunayaka
• Monday to Friday from 8 PM to 8:30 PM → Governor Sunayaka or Berserker Sunayaka
• Saturday to Sunday from 8 PM to 8:30 PM → Berserker Sunayaka

Please note: since enemies will also drop normal items, the alliance/league leader should adjust the distribution settings accordingly (Distribution Settings → Roll Dice: Normal items or above)


[h3]Rental Equipment and Buff[/h3]
For a little Kinah, the NPC Lisnerk in Tiamaranta’s Eye will lend you a completely enchanted Ultimate Spiked Equipment Chest – the [Event] Ultimate Spiked Equipment Chest contains two weapons and an armour for you class! The chest and the equipment disappear as soon as you leave Tiamaranta’s Eye.

The NPC Boronerk will give you a free ultimate transformation buff of your choice: Kaisinel, Marchutan, Ereshkigal or Tiamat. The strengthening spell remains for 30 minutes, even after death. But if you leave Tiamaranta’s Eye, the buff will be removed. The minions’ Buff Master function can override the buff, however. Please deactivate or remove the Transformation Scrolls to avoid this.


[h3]Rewards[/h3]
Bundle of Protectorate Gold Coins
You can get the Bundle of Protectorate Gold Coins in the AION Shop. You can trade in your bundle for high-quality items with the NPCs Arseus and Lechi.

Treasure Chests
You’ll need keys to open the treasure chests that you will find throughout Tiamaranta’s Eye. You can obtain these from Keymasters, quests or as a drop from monsters.

Reward Overview
You can find an overview of all possible rewards in our list of rewards.





Note: The following items will be removed from the game at the end of the event: [Rune] Selection Box of Ultimate Enchantment Potions, [Rune] Ascension Jam (PvP Attack), [Rune] Ascension Jam (PvP Defence), Tiamaranta’s Eye Treasure Box Key, Tiamaranta’s Eye Treasure Chest Key and Protectorate Gold Coins.

Running: 11/11 to 01/12

These dice don’t lie: play and win some great items such as the [Rune] Box of Ultimate Transformation Contracts (4 types), Daevanion Trait Skill Book Box (10 types), Box of Glowing Odian Fragments and plenty more.



[h3]How the game works:[/h3]
Roll and win: there are different reward levels that are represented as chests. To start your dice rolling, you will need Luna.


[h3]Let the dice fly[/h3]
You roll 5 dice in the game. Every throw gives you the chance of a prize, represented by a laughing Shugo. But what would a game be if there was no losing? Should this befall you, a blue Shugo will be shown.

You can stop rolling at any time – or keep going until you have won on all 5 dice. No matter when you stop, you keep all the rewards you win.

There is the option to have the dice roll automatically until they all win. If you select this option, the corresponding amount of Luna will be withdrawn. Alternatively you can roll the dice yourself each time by clicking on the button.


[h3]Golden Die[/h3]
Now things get interesting: as soon as you win on all 5 dice, you will get the chance to roll the Golden Die. Naturally, there are better rewards for winning Golden Die than normal dice. The Golden Die can only be rolled once and you will have to pay Luna for every roll.

If Lady Luck abandons you when it comes to the Golden Die, you still keep the rewards you have earned. You also receive a consolation prize, so it’s always worth giving it a roll.


[h3]What does all this fun cost?[/h3]
Each roll costs you 5 Luna. The game with the Golden Die costs 150 Luna per roll.


[h3]Rewards[/h3]
If your rolls win, you will be rewarded with boxes that have different levels. Once all dice have been rolled or you have decided to leave the game, you will receive a random item from the box you have won. Depending on the roll, you can earn either 1 or more boxes of the same level.





Have fun!
The AION Team

The preparations surrounding the harvest celebrations are underway in Atreia. Tromnerk, the best Rice Cake Master far and wide, wanted to be on his way to the fortresses in Gelkmaros and Inggison with his suppliers already. But now the revelries are at risk of being a flop because the Honey Cake Suppliers have left Tromnerk in a bind. Their duties seem to have slipped their minds during a hike through the picturesque natural scenery of Atreia. You must find the suppliers and bring the Honey Cakes to Tromnerk in time for the festivities to be a success.

Your willingness to help shouldn’t only be rewarded with the celebrations – treat yourself to items like the [Event] Moonchild Wings, [Event] Dye: Mustard, [Rune] Special Autumn Harvest Transformation Contract (66 types) and many more!



Running: 3rd November to 1st December

Exchange your Honey Cakes for rewards

Rice Cake Master Tromnerk is anxiously waiting for the Honey Cakes. Hand him the cakes you’ve collected and pick out your rewards.



Enjoy the Celebrations

You have saved the Harvest Revel, and now it’s time to celebrate – the two capitals Pandaemonium and Sanctum have been lovingly adorned with autumn decorations.

Please note: The [Event] Honey Cakes will be removed from the game at the end of the event.
