AION Free-to-Play News

A mysterious informant has told the Daevas that two new magical recipes have been discovered in Atreia! In order to profit from this discovery, the Daevas have to use the so-called ‘Joker Card’. The card lets you craft valuable boxes that can contain Transformation Contracts ranging from ancient to ultimate.

As part of this event, Daevas can look forward to items like [Rune] Joker’s Premium Transformations (32 types), [Rune] Joker’s Amazing Transformations (14 types) and the [Rune] Joker Chest: Noble Greater Transformations!

Running: 14/4 to 5/5



How it works:

You can get what you need to make the Transformation Contracts in the AION Shop – grab yourself the packs below:

• Legendary Joker Transformation Pack
• Joker Card Pack
• Joker Transformation Pack

You can also bag the [Rune] Joker Card 1x per account for free (only available until 28th April).


[h3]Magical Crafting[/h3]
Two new recipes for Magical Crafting will be available for you to make during the event:

Recipe #1

You’ll need 6 Joker Cards to be able to make the [Rune] Joker’s Premium Transformations (32 types). You can use this to receive ancient, legendary or ultimate Transformations.

With a little luck, you can even make [Rune] Joker’s Amazing Transformations (14 types). As a reward for your effort, these give you legendary or ultimate Transformations.



Recipe #2

You’ll need [Rune] Joker’s Amazing Transformations (14 types) as well as 3 Joker Cards; with a little luck, you’ll be able to make the [Rune] Joker Chest: Noble Greater Transformations. If you don’t manage to do that, you’ll receive [Rune] Joker’s Amazing Transformations (14 types)

The [Rune] Joker Chest: Noble Greater Transformations contains the [Rune] Legendary Joker Transformation Box (27 types) or the [Rune] Ultimate Transformation Selection Box (4 types).

The [Rune] Legendary Joker Transformation Box (27 types) in turn contains legendary Transformations (as well as Apostle, Hanbok Pixel and Halloween Transformations) for you to have fun with.


[h3]Transformation Fusion[/h3]
From 28/4 to 5/5 you can also benefit from an especially powerful Transformation Fusion:

If you fuse two or three legendary Transformations during this period, but the fusion fails, the result cannot revert to an ancient Transformation. You will get a legendary Transformation back instead.







Please note: The item [Rune] Joker Card will be removed from the game at the end of the event.

We’re soon releasing the brand-new AION update 7.9, bringing a raft of improvements, new contents and whole bundle of fun and action!


[h3]For the Legion![/h3]
Legions have never been more important in AION! The contribution system has been reworked, and you will find whole new ways to do your bit for the legion. The rankings no longer revolve around Abyss points, but are influenced by contributions, so your legion becomes more powerful if you and other members are active for the legion.


[h3]Pangaea Inbound![/h3]
A lot of players have been clamouring for more opportunities to stretch their wings. We’re now very pleased to announce the return of the battle for Pangaea to AION! In this seasonal event, you must fight for your legion, and of course enjoy the chance to take to the skies!


[h3]Don’t Lose Your Way![/h3]
A challenging new instance makes its appearance in the form of the Labyrinth! Designed for 2 to 6 heroes from level 80, prepare to meet some old acquaintances (who won’t be too pleased to see you)!

You know that feeling? Hopping and bounding through the fields, the grass under your hooves, the wind in your fur? Of course you don’t, you’re a Daeva, not a mount! Let’s see if we can change that…

Slip on the mantle of a fabulous mount and take part in our big farm race! Win valuable prizes such as the [Rune] Vision Weapons Chest, the [Event] Locked Legendary Transformation Contract (10 types) and [Extra] Locked Transformation Contract Random Box (Mouse/Keyboard Ranger).



Running: 24/3 to 14/4.


[h3]How it works:[/h3]
In this event, two teams of 3 Elyos and 3 Asmodians will transform into cute animals and go head-to-head in a grand prix. They must overcome obstacles and use special abilities to get the better of their opponents.

Brave participants earn delicious chocolate rings at the end of the race, which they will hopefully refrain from eating long enough to exchange them with Shugolaf for precious rewards.


[h3]Taking Part[/h3]
Joining the race couldn’t be easier, simply open the ‘Request Entry’ menu to take part.


[h3]Pick An Animal[/h3]
Which animal do you prefer? A difficult choice when they’re all this cute:

• Hippo
• Cuddly Sheep
• Tabby Bunny Hat
• Bunny with Hat
• Tetragon Hopper
• Goldsqueak

Use the Ringbearer Transformation Machine at the start to transform yourself. The animals’ basic abilities are identical, but during the race you can pick up special abilities to use against your competitors to get the edge.


[h3]On Your Marks…[/h3]
Set. Go! But don’t forget the coach’s word in your ear:

• Work together with your teammates, overcome the obstacles and use your abilities against the opposing team.
• You’ll only have one basic ability at the start. Keep your eyes peeled for the four special abilities found in the form of orbs on the track.
• The Teleport, Cleansing, Snaring and Shackling Orbs all reappear 5 seconds after being collected.
• Using a special ability consumes the orb, so be sure to use them wisely!

[h3]Rewards[/h3]
So you’ve given it your all and want to reap your just rewards? Couldn’t be simpler.

All participants in the winning team will be rewarded with an [Event] Beautiful Chocolate Ring. The losing team gets an [Event] Melted Chocolate Ring.

Winners will receive 6 [Event] Bundles of Rukibuki Coins from Shugolaf in exchange for their chocolate ring. Participants from the losing team shouldn’t feel too down on their luck – they will still get 3 [Event] Bundles of Rukibuki Coins for their chocolate ring.

You can exchange the coin bundles with Lady Barok in the Inggison Fortress or Baron Baroka in the Gelkmaros Fortress for valuable rewards.


[h3]Shugolaf’s Quests[/h3]
Shugolaf has two missions for you: a weekly quest and a quest that you can only complete once. You’ll be rewarded with an [Event] Bundle of Rukibuki Coins after completing these tasks.





Note: The following event items will be removed from the game a week after the end of the event: [Event] Bundle of Rukibuki Coins, [Event] Rukibuki Coin, [Event] Farm Victory Trophy, [Event] Farm Trophy, [Extra] Key for Transformation Contract Random Box (Mouse/Keyboard Ranger), [Extra] Locked Transformation Contract Random Box (Mouse/Keyboard Ranger), [Event] Locked Legendary Transformation Contract (10 types), [Rune] Key for Legendary Transformation Contract (10 types), [Rune] Key for Box of Class A, Level 2–4 Minion Contracts, [Event] Locked Box of Class A, Level 2–4 Minion Contracts.





Have fun,
The AION Team

Take the opportunity in this event to get fantastic loot and play daily in the Shattered Abyssal Splinter instance! Hit the boss Yamennes Painflare with as much damage as you can and climb the rankings. If you manage to rank among the best 100 players in your class, prizes await you such as the [Rune] Special Transformation Contract; Little Lamb Hanbok (70 types), the [Event] Experience Crystal and a whole lot of Luna!

Running: 17/3 to 31/3


[h3]How it works:[/h3]
You can enter the instance daily and check the rankings to see how you placed. There are two playing modes available to choose from. You can also put a stop to Yamennes Painflare’s underlings in Inggison and Gelkmaros and get additional rewards.


[h3]Entering the instance[/h3]
You can get access to the instance in the fortresses in Inggison and Gelkmaros. Entry is free 1x a day and possible for players from level 80 – each round lasts 5 minutes.

You can get more entries using the [Event] Extra Ticket: Abyssal Ruins. You receive this as a reward for completing special event Lugbug missions or for getting through 8 daily Lugbug missions. Additionally, boss monsters drop the ticket in the following instances: Esoterrace, Prometun’s Workshop (normal) Makarna of Bitterness (normal), Stella Development Laboratory (easy), Beninerk’s Manor (easy) and Ara Infernalia (easy).


[h3]The instance modes[/h3]
Classic mode

This mode is available on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Talk to Cold Pazuzu first and complete the quest to get the Abyss Key. Enter the instance and attack Yamennes Painflare with your own weapons.



Abyss Weapon mode

This mode is available on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Talk to Cruel Pazuzu first and complete the quest to get the Abyss Key as well an Abyss Weapon (+15). Enter the instance and attack Yamennes Painflare with the weapon you received – this disappears again at the end of the round.



Selection mode

This mode is available on Sundays and lets you choose which of the other two modes you will play. Decide in the Abyss Mirror if you want to speak to Cruel Pazuzu or Cold Pazuzu.


[h3]The rankings[/h3]
The rankings are decided by calculating the total damage you’ve dealt to Yamennes Painflare. Once the round time of 5 minutes is up or you’ve died, the damage that you’ve dealt to the boss up to that point is taken into account in the rankings. You will then receive your reward at the entrance to the instance.



Instance rewards

You can earn the following rewards in the instance.

• Level S → Reach 1,000,000 points and get: 8x [Event] Experience Crystal and 3x Combat Experience Extractor.
• Level A → Reach 750,000 points and get: 5x [Event] Experience Crystal and 2x Combat Experience Extractor.
• Level B → Reach 500,000 points and get: 3x [Event] Experience Crystal and 1x Combat Experience Extractor.
• Stufe C → If you reach less than 500,000 points, unfortunately you go empty-handed.

The 100 best players

A communal top 100 ranking is generated for all servers each day. This list shows the performance of the best 100 players in every class. The list is always kept up from 9 AM to 7:59 AM the next day.

The rankings are always calculated and the instance rest between 8 AM and 9 AM (you cannot enter the Shattered Abyssal Splinter during this time). The rewards will be sent to you at 9 AM via an in-game message. When the instance reopens at 9 AM, a new ranking starts too.

You can view the rankings via the game meny. Warning: it’s possible that the calculation on the servers could lead to brief delays in displaying the ranking.

• 1st place → 200 Luna and 5x [Rune] Special Transformation Contract: Little Lamb Hanbok (70 types)
