AION Free-to-Play News

In this event you can choose which challenge you want to face: each day you can choose from one of three instances, enter the instance and be rewarded with fantastic items – among others, the Glyph Box Shard, the [Rune] 100% Manastone Socketing Aid (ultimate) and the [Event] Ultimate PvP Enchantment Stone.

Running: 9/6 to 23/6


[h3]Instance Entry[/h3]
Step through the portal for easier entry to reach one of the following instances of your choosing:

• Kumuki Hideout
• Rift of Oblivion
• Trillonerk’s Secret Gold Vault

The number of entries is split between the instances. You can enter one of the three instances for free 1x per day.

You can get additional entries using the Entry Scroll for Easy Entry (Instance) – you can get this in the AION Shop.


[h3]Kumuki Hideout[/h3]
Creep through the Kumuki Hideout instance save 4 Poppies from landing on the grill. Search for the Iron Fence Keys that you can use to free the Poppies from their cages. To make sure you’re not discovered right away, you can transform into a Tattered Kumuki – then you’ll have Special Bombs at your disposal.

You’ll be rewarded with 1x Poppy’s Bundle for each Poppy that you save.


[h3]Rift of Oblivion[/h3]
Prove that you’ve got the tactical skills and fight your way through the Rift of Oblivion. Use the power of nature to clear your path all the way to the end boss. Your final rank depends on the number of points you score and how much time is left.

• 21,200 points and 18 minutes left → 5x Sealed Memory Bundle and 1x Solid Ice
• 17,700 points and 16 minutes left → 4x Sealed Memory Bundle and 1x Solid Ice
• 14,100 points and 10 minutes left → 3x Sealed Memory Bundle and 1x Solid Ice
• 9,400 points and 1 minute left → 2x Sealed Memory Bundle and 1x Solid Ice
• 100 points → 1x Sealed Memory Bundle

[h3]Trillonerk’s Secret Gold Vault[/h3]
The Black Ranger has lost his memories. So he transfers his powers to you so you can help him get them back. Fight your way past the monsters in the gold vault and grab as many points as you can. Your final rank is calculated based on the number of points you collect as soon as the time expires. You can use the keys you receive as a reward to open the treasure chests that can be found in the gold vault.

• 878,600 points → 6x Imperial Chest Key
• 463,800 points → 4x Imperial Chest Key
• 165,100 points → 3x Imperial Chest Key
• 54,000 points → 2x Imperial Chest Key

[h3]Rewards[/h3]
The Solid Ice can be found in all instances and you have a certain chance of finding the Ice Hammer too. If you combine the two of them, you receive Jakunerk’s Blue Box, which contains various transformation items. You can also get the Ice Hammer in the AION Shop.

You can find an overview of rewards for this event in our Reward List.







Note: The Entry Scroll for Easy Entry (Instance), Poppy’s Gift Box, Poppy’s Bundle, the Sealed Memory Bundle, the Ice Hammer, the Solid Ice and Jakunerk’s Blue Box will be removed from the game at the end of the event.

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.

If you already know your weevils from your woodlice, all the better! But suburban Daevas have nothing to fear from rural life in Atreia – we’ve summarised the most important information in this news post.

How to become a champion gardener:

Collect event seeds by hunting monsters in instances, logging in daily and completing quests. Nurture your plants in Dumaha and defend them from pests and other players. After that, it’s time to literally harvest the fruits of your hard work and – after perhaps admiring them for a while – exchange them for valuable items and Abyss Points!

Follow these steps:

1. Gather seeds
2. Sow
3. Cultivate
4. Harvest
5. Exchange fruit


[h3]1. Gather seeds[/h3]
There are two bundles of seeds you can gather ready to sow:

• Bundles of Seeds can be earned by playing through Lugbug missions and logging in each day (every 30 minutes up to a max. of 10 times). These bundles also drop in both difficulties of the following instances: Prometun’s Workshop, Beninerk’s Manor and Stella Development Laboratory.
• You receive [Event] Bundles of Beautiful Colourful Seeds for completing a Lugbug mission and as a final reward.

[h3]2. Sow[/h3]
Before sowing your seeds, make sure you’re in the right region or your plants won’t flourish. The plants also don’t like to be too close to altars or fortresses.

The regular and beautiful colourful seeds can only be sown in certain regions in Dumaha (only accessible Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays):

• Plains Frightcorn Seeds and Beautiful Colourful Plains Frightcorn Seeds → Plains: North Dumaha
• Desert Fladia Seeds and Beautiful Colourful Desert Fladia Seeds → Arid Regions
• Swamp Fungie Seeds and Beautiful Colourful Swamp Fungie Seeds → Wetlands: Kadabra Sighting Area, Brodelgeysir, Pupuru Waterfall

[h3]3. Cultivate[/h3]
You can show off your green thumbs when cultivating your seeds. Once the seeds are sown, your plants will start to grow, and they then go through four stages of cultivation:

Germination → Growth → Ripening → Harvest

You can nurture your plants by watering and protecting them.

Watering:

The [Event] Full Bucket of Water can work wonders and cause your plants to really flourish. You can get the bucket by completing daily event quests or swapping an [Event] Empty Bucket for [Event] Exquisite Fruit from the NPC MuMu Sang. The bucket can be filled with water in the Kadabra Sighting Area, the Brodelgeysir or at the Pupuru Waterfall.

Protection:

The Poison Tenaklu goes mad for plants when they’re ready to harvest. It’s a serious pest! If it gets its teeth into your saplings, you can forget about them. It’ll also attack you if you’re not careful.

Fortunately, you can frighten off the Poison Tenaklu with Scarecrows, which are a good way to keep it at bay. Those creepy Scarecrows give you the chills as well, however, and you’ll suffer a debuff. You can earn Scarecrows in reward for event quests or purchase them in the Gold Sand Shop for Kinah.


[h3]4. Harvest[/h3]
When your plants reach this phase, it’s time for you to reap all your hard work. Depending on what you’ve sown, the fruit you harvest comes in different levels of quality. Green Fruit (4 levels), Ripe Fruit (to be inspected), Exquisite Fruit and Gourmand Fruit.

• Even if a plant isn’t quite fully grown, you can harvest Green Fruit from Young Plants and exchange them for Abyss Points from MuMu Rang.
• But serious gardeners only start harvesting their fruit once plants are fully grown. Gretchen will use her expertise to inspect the Ripe Fruit you bring her, judging them to be either Exquisite Fruit or even Gourmand Fruit.
• Fruit from beautiful colourful plants will automatically become high-quality Gourmand Fruit.

Important: Don’t take your eyes off your plants for too long, because other players – even from the enemy faction – can harvest your plants!


[h3]5. Exchange fruit[/h3]
Time to turn the fruits of your work into cold hard rewards! Exchange your fruit for fantastic items.

• From MuMu Sang (in Gelkmaros and Inggison) you can exchange your Exquisite Fruit for the following rewards amongst others: [Rune] Special Transformation Contract: Little Lamb Hanbok (70 types) and [Event] Pure Aris Selection Box.
• From MuMu Chen (in Gelkmaros and Inggison) you can exchange your Gourmand Fruit for the following rewards amongst others: [Event] [Title Card] Professional Farmer (15 days), [Event] [Emotion Card] Grow House Plant and [Event] Box containing an Engraved Ultimate Manastone.

Please note: All event items will be removed from the game one week after the event is over.





Happy gardening!
