AION Free-to-Play News

Running: 4th May to 1st June

These dice don’t lie: play and win some great items such as +10 Extreme Armour Box, [Rune] Zikel’s Transformation Contract, Magic Hour Robes and much 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 If you select this option, the corresponding amount of Luna will be withdrawn.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 150 Luna per roll.


[h3]Rewards[/h3]
If your rolls win, you will be rewarded with chests of different levels. Once all dice have been rolled or you have decided to leave the game, you will receive a random item from the chest you have won. Depending on the roll, you can earn either 1 or more chests of the same level.





Have fun!
The AION Team

The Minion Awakening is on everyone’s lips in Balaurea. Shugo merchant Kikurinrinerk, a massive minion fan, has heard the news and set off to sell her wares in the fortresses of Gelkmaros and Inggison in exchange for mysterious Minion Coins.

Daevas with Minion Coins can exchange them for valuable minion items from Kikurinrinerk.

Running: 4th May to 25th May


[h3]How it works:[/h3]
The Minion Coins for buying minion items can be purchased in the AION Shop until the end of the event.

You’ll find Kikurinrinerk near the Hidden Minionite Warehouse in the Gelkmaros Fortress and Inggison Illusion Fortress. Among her wares you’ll find the following:

• [Rune] Box of Class S Minion Contracts (10 types)
• [Rune] Selection Box of Class A, Level 4 Minion Contracts
• [Rune] Bundle of Class S Minionite (80 pieces)

Note: The Minion Coin Bundle and Minion Coins will be removed from the game at the end of the event. Kikurinrinerk will remain around for another week.

During the Battlefield Festival, you will face your enemies in ‘boosted’ Battlefield instances – this means double entries and you will earn more Battlefield Coins for your participation! You can also borrow completely enchanted equipment to help you really give it to your enemies.

Throughout the event you can earn Battlefield Festival Coins, which you can exchange for treasures like the Legendary Fragment of Memory, the Daevanion Essence Bundle, Vaizel’s Apostle Transformation Fragment and many other great items!

Running: 20/4 to 4/5.

[h3]Let Your Hero Benefit[/h3]
In the Battlefield instances Ashunatal Dredgion, Runatorium, Neviwind Canyon, Kamar Battlefield, Raging Valley and Illumiel you receive various extras and can borrow equipment:

Ultimate Transformation: Boronerk is offering you a free ultimate transformation of your choice. It lasts for 30 minutes – even after dying – but will be removed after leaving the battlefield. The Buff Master minion function removes the transformation, however, so make sure you’ve deactivated it.

Ultimate Spiked Equipment Chest: For some Kinah, Lisnerk will lend you completely enchanted equipment in the mentioned instances. The chest contains two weapons with already fused stats and equipment for your class. The equipment will be removed after leaving the battlefield.

Boosts in the Instances: In the instances listed above, you can get more Battlefield Coins for your victory, defeat or draw – plus you can enter more often! Check out the Battlefield Overview to see all details about the instances at a glance.

Battlefield Coins: The Battlefield Coins you earn can be exchanged with Beatinerk for amazing prizes. You’ll find him near the Battlefield Briefing Officer Shamichael in Inggison or the Battlefield Briefing Officer Skamish in Gelkmaros.

It’s here: AION 8.2 is now live on the European servers!


[h3]What’s New?[/h3]
Challenging difficulty level: A new difficulty level awaits in the Heart of Aphsaranta. The new challenge can be tackled by 2 to 6 players from level 81. You can join twice a week, and you can increase this number using magical crafting.

New Corps Quest Season: You’ll encounter extreme monsters much more often in the new corps quest, and the garrison guards will also be stronger. Are you ready to face them?

New life in the corps: In Aphsaranta, Nezekan and Zikel now lead the corps. The corps glory has been reset, and the merchants Diothes and Nojina have some new goods on offer. There are also new quests and rewards.

Improved posting quest: The number of posting quests you can carry out increases as you reach certain corps glory levels. You’ll also now receive various rewards for completing different levels of posting quests.

Further additions: Enjoy adjusted Lord’s Relic levels, updated Agent Battles against Veille and Mastarius in Inggison and Gelkmaros, as well as the continuation of Kerub’s Short Tutorial and the new Wardrobe feature.


[h3]Want to learn more?[/h3]
We did a brief presentation about the update in a stream on Twitch. Take a look now on YouTube and find out everything you need to know! Of course, you can find even more information in our Patch Notes.

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 precious prizes like an [Event] Bundle of Class S Minionite, an [Event] Locked Legendary Transformation Contract (10 types) and a [Rune] Solar Treasure Egg.

Running: 13/4 to 4/5.

How It Works:

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. And while you’re at it, why not take a look at the Rukibuki traders’ special offer? They’re selling Solar Treasure Eggs and Astral Treasure Eggs. These contain rare items such as [Rune] Special Transformation Contract: Little Lamb Hanbok (70 types), +10 Powerful Rune Box and +10 Extreme Equipment Box. By the way, the Solar Treasure Egg is quite special since you can use Legendary PvE Enchantment Stones to re-roll up to 3 times!

In our rewards list, you can get an overview of all the rewards that can be obtained from the Solar Treasure Egg and the Astral Treasure Egg.


[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.


[h3]Note[/h3]
The following event items will be removed from the game after the event: [Event] Bundle of Rukibuki Coins, [Event] Rukibuki Coin, [Event] Farm Victory Cup, [Event] Farm Cup, [Rune] Solar Treasure Egg, [Rune] Astral Treasure Egg, [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 and [Event] Locked Box of Class A, Level 2-4 Minion Contracts.
