AION Free-to-Play News

Running: 1/4 till 22/4

Prickly Prigal hides in the shadow of his master, Yu-Meow. This monster works in the shadows and has hatched a devious plan to invade Atreia: Prickly Prigal has hoarded mountains of food and fed it to the Thieving Rabbit Bandits!

Now an army of Rabbit Bandits is mounting an assault on the open world and all of the instances. The Daevas are the only ones who can put a stop to Prickly Prigal’s monstrous plan now.



The Easter Hero Trials

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 Rabbit Bandits from carrying out their awful work. The number of Rabbit Bandits 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’.



Additional rewards

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

Enjoy hunting down the Thieving Rabbit Bandits!

Greetings, Daeva!

We’ve listened to the fantastic feedback you sent us about the AION Shop and have some great changes in store:

• That’s not all – we’ve also given the shop a fresh new look! The style has been improved to make it more in touch with the flare of the game. We hope you like it!
• We’ve also gone over and reorganised some categories, making it easier for you to browse and find the items you want.
• Want better prices? You got it! We’ve lowered the prices of certain popular items, such as transformation contracts and enchantment stones.

AION’s celebrating its 8th free-to-play anniversary, and we’ve put together some very special hero trials where you again have the chance to grab some awesome items. These include: the [Rune] Selection Box of Ancient Transformation Contracts (18 types), the [Rune] Daevanion Essence and Stigma Enchantment Stones!

Driven from his manor by the Daevas, Beninerk seeks revenge. This pesky miscreant has now allied with the mighty Phantonicht, and Phantonicht’s minions – Brooding Fungie, Snotty Fungie and Spirited Fungen – are stoking chaos across Atreia. The Daevas can’t allow this to happen!




[h3]The Hero Trials[/h3]
Hunt down Phantonicht’s minions and put a stop to their madness:

• On Mondays and Tuesdays you’ll find Brooding Fungie and Spirited Fungen in Lakrum.
• On Wednesdays and Thursdays you’ll find Brooding Fungie and Snotty Fungie in Inggison and Gelkmaros.
• On Fridays and Sundays Brooding Fungie and Snotty Fungie will appear in Heiron and Beluslan. Meanwhile, Snotty Fungie and Spirited Fungen will be haunting Dumaha.
• Roughly every 2 hours on Thursdays and Sundays, Phantonicht will appear personally in Poeta and Ishalgen – the perfect opportunity to teach him a lesson!

Each quest will reward you with a valuable prize on completion.

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

• 2 of 6 quests completed

• 4 of 6 quests completed

Happy hunting!

Running: 26/2 to 11/3

Countless Daeva lost their lives protecting their home Atreia in the devastating Thousand Year War. The memories and spirit of these heroes have survived since this time held within the Stigma Stones, those mythical crystals laden with power and wisdom.

[h3]Increased Enchantment Chance[/h3]
As soon as you have enchanted all Stigmas to level 12 (excluding Vision Stigmas), you’ll unlock an additional Stigma slot. During this event, the percentage chance to successfully enchant Stigmas has been increased! Additionally a range of Stigma items, such as the +8 Stigma Selection Box, are available in the AION Shop.

These are the enchantment chance rates during the event:


[h3]The Enchantment Quest[/h3]
Search for Neyne, the Stigma master. Deliver Stigma Enchantment Stones to her, and she’ll grant you an enchanted Stigma. For 12 Stigma Enchantment Stones you can get the +8 Stigma Selection Box from Neyne!

The quest can be completed up to 3x per character (for players level 76 or above).

Make use of the archaic might of the enchanted Stigmas, learn new skills and become stronger than ever before!

Enjoy your enchantments!
