AION Free-to-Play News

Each year when the autumn harvests come around, the endearing Moon Rabbits in Atreia bake Honey Cakes for the Daevas. This year, they’ve invited the Daevas to join in and help prepare the cakes. The Daevas have gratefully accepted this challenge, but this undertaking isn’t as easy as they thought: the cakes are time-consuming to prepare and they need to get hold of some of the ingredients!

Help the Moon Rabbits out and as a reward for your efforts, not only will you be able to have a taste of their exquisite Honey Cakes, but you can also earn fantastic rewards like the [Rune] Special Autumn Harvest Transformation Contract (66 types), the [Event] Transformation Contract: Apostle (6 types) and the [Event] Daevanion Skill Chest (10 types)!



Running: 11/11 to 2/12

How it works:
Don’t worry, you don’t have to become a master baker right away – the event is very simple: first you get the ingredients, then you prepare the dough, bake the cake and then trade it for a quality item.


[h3]Get the ingredients![/h3]
You get honey...

• from logging in daily (1x [Event] Honey every 30 minutes, but max. 5x a day).
• by completing Lugbug missions.
• when you defeat Honey Daru in the fortresses in Gelkmaros and Inggison.
• in the AION Shop.

A little tip: your hero can simply chow down on the honey. This increases their attack, casting and movement speeds by 5 percent for 20 minutes.

You get Rice Powder...

• by completing a weekly quest in which you exchange Slot Stones, Gold Ingots and Stellium with Journinerk.
• by defeating monsters in the following instances: Stella Development Laboratory (easy/normal); (Weak) Daeva Mob Leader, Makarna of Bitterness (normal); Beritra’s Shroud, Prometun’s Workshop (normal), Prigga, Lower Udas Temple; Debilkarim the Maker.
• as a reward for completing daily Lugbug missions.
• in the AION Shop.

You get Pine Needles...

• by beating the Pine Needle Full Moon, which appears in western Inggison and eastern Gelkmaros each day from 8 PM to 10 PM.
• as a reward for completing Lugbug missions.
• in the Gold Sand Shop.
• in the AION Shop.

[h3]Now it’s time to get baking![/h3]
Prepare the dough: To make 1 Honey Cake, you’ll need 5x Honey, 2x Pine Needles and 1x Rice Powder.

Bake, bake, bake the cake! Use the Honey Cake Workbench to bake your cake. You can end up with one of three different cakes: [Event] Honey Cake, [Event] Small Honey Cake Basket or [Event] Burned Honey Cake.

Don’t worry if your cake ends up burnt. It happens to the Moon Rabbits every now and then too. As mad as you might be about the result of your baking, you can still use the burnt cake and throw it at your enemies to deal 8,000 damage!


[h3]Grab your reward![/h3]
Did your Honey Cake turn out well? Then take it to the Harvest Festival Merchant in Inggison or Gelkmaros and exchange it for valuable items.


[h3]Master the art of baking![/h3]
Let the NPC Linnai take you under your novice baker’s arm to help you decorate your cake and clean up even better rewards! But take care, something could go wrong here too and if you run into bad luck, all you’ll be left with is a burned cake!

• For a fee of 700,000 Kinah, Linnai will help you bake your [Event] Honey Cake into an [Event] Small Honey Cake Basket.
• For a fee of 7,000,000 Kinah, Linnai will help you bake your [Event] Honey Cake into an [Event] Magnificent Honey Cake Box.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]
You can find all of the possible rewards for this event in our Rewards List.



Note: The following items will be removed from the game at the end of the event: [Event] Honey, [Event] Rice Powder, [Event] Rice Powder, Event] Pine Needle, [Event] Honey Cake, [Event] Small Honey Cake Basket, Event] Magnificent Honey Cake Box and [Event] Burned Honey Cake.

Running: 4/11 to 2/12

These dice don’t lie: play and win some great items such as the [Event] Glyph Box, [Rune] Selection Box of Class A, Level 2 Minion Contracts, Box of Transformation Contracts: Legendary Apostle (12 types) 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 125 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!

Running: 14/10 to 4/11

Prickly Prigal hides in the shadow of his master, Yu-Meow. This monster works in the shadows and is planning to invade Atreia once again: Prickly Prigal has hoarded mountains of food and fed it to the Halloween fiends Ferocious Bloodwing, Holy Wraith and Sinister Crettin. These fiends are now mounting an assault on the open world and all of the instances. Now the Daevas are the only ones who can put a stop to Prickly Prigal’s monstrous plan.

Stop the Halloween fiends and be rewarded with items like [Rune] Selection Box of Halloween Transformation Contracts (4 types), the [Rune] Daevanion Essence and the Mysterious Weapons Selection Box of the Dark Dragon King!



[h3]The Halloween Hero Trials[/h3]
Each week, two different quests become available that each consist of two sub-quests. These can be played at different times:

• Sub-quest 1: active from Wednesday 9 AM to Saturday 11:59 AM.
• Sub-quest 2: active from Saturday 12 PM to Wednesday 8:59 AM.

In order to complete a quest, you have to stop a certain number of Ferocious Bloodwings, Holy Wraiths and Sinister Crettins from carrying out their awful work. The number of fiends is limited in instances, so you’ll have to play through at least twice to be able to complete the quest.

You’ll be rewarded once per account after completing each quest. You can find your reward in the AION shop under ‘Manage bonuses’.


[h3]Additional rewards[/h3]
If you complete a certain number of hero trials, you can look forward to additional rewards. There are three levels:

• 20 of 60 quests completed
• 40 of 60 quests completed
• 60 of 60 quests completed

[h3]Notes[/h3]

• To be able to complete the ‘Halloween Challenge’, you have to complete all quests with the same hero, otherwise unfortunately it won’t be counted towards your total.
• The following event items will be removed from the game one week after the event ends: [Event] Clue, [Event] Book of Clues and [Event] Complete Book of Clues.
• The quest to fight the Pumpkin Monster is optional. This will increase your total number of quests to 63 in this event.

Have fun!
