CELENTINE DAYS



Daevas all over Atreia come together during this period to enjoy the festivities of the ‘Celentine Days’. This festival is a combination of Valentine’s Day and the lunar new year. The capital cities of Sanctum and Pandaemonium are decked out with colourful decorations and lots of people have been eagerly anticipating this marvellous atmosphere for weeks now.

Pets are playing a massive role here this year – that’s why Daevas will be surprised with fitting gifts and can look forward to various rewards. Grab items such as [Extra] Transformation Contract: Mouse Ranger, [Event] Divine Perfection Wardrobe, [Event] ‘Stomach Butterflies’ Wings and lots more!

Running: 9th February to 2nd March


[h3]Event Activities[/h3]
The festive order during the Celentine Days is very simple:
  • Complete Celentine quests and earn yourself a new costume and wings.
  • Feed your Celentine pet and get rewards for it.
  • Pick up free buffs in the capital cities.


[h3]The Celentine Quests[/h3]
Event NPC Celentina can be found in the capital cities and has two quests for you:

The quest ‘Collect Pieces of Silk’ requires you to collect 30 Pieces of Silk, and in return you’ll be rewarded with the Divine Perfection Wardrobe and the ‘Stomach Butterflies’ Wings.

The quest ‘Happy Celentine’ rewards you with an Antipaari Egg (21 days) so you don’t have to spend the festival alone.


[h3]The Celentine Pet[/h3]
Feed your pet:

The Antipaari Egg can be hatched with the Pet Summoner. It then stays by your side for 21 days.

When you’re hunting for monsters, you can collect the event items Cute Cacao and Tteok Powder for your pet. Once you’ve collected enough, you’ll receive a Choco Tteok.

It takes a little time to feed the Antipaari pet because these pets are big eaters: Antipaari pets can get full when they eat between 90 and 110 Cute Cacao and Tteok Powder. The number of meals can vary depending on the situation. Pets who are full won’t eat any more. They start getting hungry again roughly 2 hours after receiving the last gift.

Here’s how you get the food:
  • Pet food can be obtained from monsters in all territories and instances apart from Poeta and Ishalgen.
  • Monsters that normally don’t drop items also won’t drop pet food for you. The chance of a drop is lower for monsters who are a much higher level than you. If the level difference is too big, these monsters won’t drop any food at all.
  • If you’re playing with others and you get food by defeating several monsters, you’ll get the loot if yours was the biggest contribution to the victory.
  • If you’re playing in a group or alliance, each player receives the food according to the loot settings.


[h3]Free buffs[/h3]
The free buffs can be picked up at the big square in Sanctum and Pandaemonium. They each last 30 minutes and remain after death.

Generous Heart → increases the amount of natural HP regeneration by 32 points and the amount of natural MP regeneration by 43 points.

Heart Fairy→ here you can choose between two buffs:
  • Sweet Chocolate increases your HP by 900, crit hit by 450 and MP by 630 points.
  • Hot Rice Cake Soup increases your HP by 900, crit hit by 450 and MP by 630 points.


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





Note: the items [Event] Cute Cacao, [Event] Tteok Powder, [Event] Choco Tteok, [Event] Piece of Silk, [Event] Antipaari Egg (21 days) and Antipaari Gift will be removed from the game after the event is over.

ATREIA’S LOST TREASURES



The famous archaeologist Indiana Jonshunerk is currently travelling all over Atreia in search of various relics from a long forgotten age. He wants to concentrate on his work and avoid any conflict in the process, so he’s hiring brave Daevas like you! According to the rumours though, some monsters have gone on a rampage around the excavation site and stolen lots of ancient items. Help Indiana Jonshunerk to retrieve the relics and grab yourself lots of valuable rewards!



Running: 9th February to 2nd March


[h3]The Ruin Relics[/h3]
The lost treasures that you need to recover for Indiana Jonshunerk come in 7 different levels. In archaeologist jargon, they’re called ‘Atreia Ruin Relics’. These relics contain even more treasure: the Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1), for example, contains either the Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 2), an Atreia Ruin Relic Fragment or another item. The rewards you can receive increases with each level.

If you collect 10 Atreia Ruin Relic Fragments, you can combine these into an Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1).


[h3]The Hero Trials[/h3]
Three Hero Trials are open to you during the event period in which you go hunting for monsters in different regions:
  • [Account] Research in Elysea and Asmodae: Protect Indiana Jonshunerk while he carries out his research in Elysea and Asmodae.
  • [Account] Research in Central Balaurea: Protect Indiana Jonshunerk while he carries out his research in Inggison and Gelkmaros.
  • [Account] Research in South Balaurea: Protect Indiana Jonshunerk while he carries out his research in Lakrum, Dumaha and Aphsaranta.

Completing all quests will complete the final quest ‘[Account] Indiana Jonshunerk’s Proud Bodyguard’, which rewards you with the following items:
Archaeologist Hat, Archaeologist Costume, Lightning Steed, [Event] Pledge Tablet and Daevanion Trait Skill Book Box (10 types).


[h3]Loot in the Open World[/h3]
Very special look awaits you in the open world – pay a visit to the regions Gelkmaros, Inggison, Silentera Canyon, Dumaha, Lakrum, Red Katalam (North) and Aphsaranta and defeat the monsters! Sometimes the drop chance in some regions is better than in others.


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


[h3]Notes[/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. Not all monsters count towards the quests. If that’s the case, kill a few more to reach your target.
  • The items [Event] Jorgoth’s Half-Weapons Chest Fragment, Atreia Ruin Relic (Level 1 to 7) and Atreia Ruin Relic Fragments will be removed from the game after the event is over.
