What are you waiting for? See how great the new update is for yourself: play it now!


Full details and information on new update 7.0 can be found in our patch notes.

Running: 24/7 to 14/8

Shuronerk is a passionate Ice Jewel collector, but she has unfortunately lost her precious jewel box to a pair of greedy little Shugos. She’s asking the Daeva for help getting back her fine Ice Jewels.

Help Shuronerk and be rewarded with valuable items such as the Daevanion Skill Chest (10 types), the Box of Ultimate Physical Manastones, the Box of Ultimate Magical Manastones as well as the Bright Abyss Treasure!



Swap the Ice Jewels with Shuronerk in Lakrum or Dumaha for items of your choosing.

• The Ice Jewels can also be found in the AION Shop: Simply get the [Rune] Shuronerk's Jewel Box item.
  
• With a little luck, you can also earn the Ice Jewels from the rewards attained in the Matryoshka Event (running 24th July to 14th August; Matryoshka's Gratitude, Matryoshka's Gift, Matryoshka's Luck and Magic Matryoshka).
  

Note: the Ice Jewels will be removed from the game on 21st August.

There’s no small print in Atreia’s Transformation Contracts: exchange the Transformation Coins you’ve earned with Verandinerk for quality Transformation Contracts or Potions such as the [Rune] Ancient Transformation Contract, the [Rune] Major Transformation Contract, the Selection Box of Legendary Transformation Potions and the Selection Box of Ancient Transformation Potions.








You will receive 2 Transformation Coins per account each day in the AION Shop. You can then exchange them in the capitals with Verandinerk for a Transformation Contract. The free coins reset at 09:00am every day.



[Rune] Ancient Transformation Contract: 30 Transformation Coins
[Rune] Major Transformation Contract: 15 Transformation Coins
Selection Box of Legendary Transformation Potions: 2 Transformation Coins
[Event] Selection Box of Ancient Transformation Potions: 1 Transformation Coin

Running: 24/7 to 14/8


Artfully painted wooden puppets are totally in vogue right now in Atreia: Matryoshkas bring you exquisite items when you upgrade them! But make sure you don't break them.


Look forward to fine rewards such as the [Event] Ultimate PvE Enchantment Stone, the [Event] Ultimate PvP Enchantment Stone, the [Event] Legendary Transformation Contract (10 types), the [Event] Daevanion Essence and the [Event] Ice Jewels.







There are three ways of getting Matryoshka puppets:

• Earn two +1 Matryoshkas daily by completing quests.
  
• Receive +1 Matryoshkas as loot from instances.
  
• Grab +1 Matryoshkas in the AION Shop.
  

In the instances and on the quests, the chance of loot will vary. Each player in their group will receive loot.



Double-click the Matryoshkas in your inventory to upgrade them. They will either increase by one to three levels, or they will be destroyed. If they are destroyed, there's no need to be sad because you can exchanged ten broken puppets for a +1 Matryoshka and try the upgrade again.


This is how the Matryoshka upgrades are arranged:

• Upgrade from level 4 to 5: You have a chance to receive the White Matryoshka
  
• Upgrade from level 6 to 7: You have a chance to receive the Matryoshka's Gratitude or the White Matryoshka
  
• Upgrade to level 8: You have a chance to receive the Matryoshka's Gratitude or the White Matryoshka
  
• Upgrade to level 9: You have a chance to receive the Matryoshka's Luck
  

If you managed to upgrade your Matryoshka to level 10, you'll receive the items White Matryoshka and Magic Dye. Combine the two and you'll receive the bundle Magic Matryoshka as a final reward!


If you need additional Magic Dye, you can find some in the AION Shop.



You will find the Matryoshka in the following instances:

• Holy Tower
  
• Hererim Mine
  
• Makarna of Bitterness
  
• Narakkalli
  
• Prometun's Workshop
  
• Senekta
  
• Stella Development Laboratory
  

Check the full list of rewards here.





Note: the event items will be removed from the game with the next server maintenance on 21/8.

AION update 7.0 is ready to roll and anticipation is at an all time high! To help with the wait, we’ve prepared a little preview of the coming update in this news:



Discover the New Class Specialisation!


Atreia will soon be flecked with colour: the new update brings the Painter, the long-awaited class specialisation for the Artist.


Colour me happy: armed with their mighty Paint Rings, the Painter uses the power of Aether Colours and wipes the floor with their foes by shooting them with colourful projectiles. But that’s not all they can do – so stay tuned!


Are you ready for a full can of painting action?








Master the Missions in Stella Development Laboratory!


Stop the outlaws, free the Stella Development Laboratory and clean up on rewards! You will be able to enter the lab in the Stella Industrial Site with up to 5 players from level 80 on. Make arrangements with your friends and try the two difficulties out together: both offer different rewards.


Have you got what it takes to overcome the outlaws in Stella Development Laboratory?





Look forward to other feisty challenges:

• Two further Lugbug missions are ready for you, which offer the chance at some valuable rewards upon completion.
  
• The Tower of Challenge also has a new difficulty and a new seasonal ranking list.
  
• Like to do things solo? No problem, the Narakkalli instance will soon be open for solo entrants.
  
• Only the toughest get into the garden: a true challenge comes in the form of the boss monster that you have to beat in the hard mode of Prometun's Workshop. But don't worry, the normal mode is now a little easier.
  

To find out what else is coming in AION 7.0, be ready for 24th July when the update goes live. Excited?
