AION Free-to-Play News

Running: 16/12/2020 to 13/1/2021

Once again, a mysterious material has descended on Atreia: Izar Agate, which is said to come directly from the stars. The Daevas gather it to transfer its supposedly indomitable power to their weapons.

In this event, brave Daevas will be rewarded with the following items among others: Izar Weapon – Startail Selection Box, Izar’s Unicorn – Premium Restoration, Selection Box of Helios Weapons – Solaris and Selection Box of Artemis Weapons – Lunaris.



[h3]Event Series[/h3]
‘The Power of the Sun’ was the first part of our major Cosmic Event series, followed by ‘The Power of the Moon’. Now the series is coming to its climax!

In this part, you can now craft all three weapon types and get your hands on the final rewards: three additional skills!


[h3]The Weapons and the Unicorn[/h3]
This time you won’t need Magical Crafting to make the event weapons. Instead, NPCs in the Gelkmaros and Inggison garrisons will help you. The crafting of the three different weapons may fail but the appearance of each of the unicorns is guaranteed.


[h3]Weaponcrafting[/h3]
Take the following items to the NPCs to craft the desired weapon:

Solaris Weapon

• For the Selection Box of Helios Weapons – Solaris you need: 30x [Rune] Sun Opal and 1x [Rune] Sky Weapon Prototype.
• If the attempt fails, you will get your Sky Weapon Prototype back along with 10x [Rune] Baldach Cookie.
• For Eos’ Unicorn – Premium Restoration you need: 30x [Rune] Sun Opal and 1x [Rune] Sky Unicorn Prototype.

Lunaris Weapon

• For the Selection Box of Artemis Weapons – Lunaris you need: 30x [Rune] Callistite and 1x [Rune] Sky Weapon Prototype.
• If the attempt fails, you will get your Sky Weapon Prototype back along with 10x [Rune] Baldach Cookie.
• For Lunicorn – Premium Restoration you need: 30x [Rune] Callistite and 1x [Rune] Sky Unicorn Prototype.

Izar Weapon

• For the Izar Weapon – Startail Selection Box you need: 30x [Rune] Izar Agate and 1x [Rune] Sky Weapon Prototype.
• If the attempt fails, you will get your Sky Weapon Prototype back along with 10x [Rune] Baldach Cookie.
• For Izar’s Unicorn – Premium Restoration you need: 30x [Rune] Izar Agate and 1x [Rune] Sky Unicorn Prototype.

[h3]Crafting Material[/h3]
You can obtain the crafting material listed above can either be purchased from the AION Shop or obtained from NPC Pibirinerk:

Find everything you need in the AION Shop! Get the Selection Box of Legendary Enchantment Stones, Izar’s Selection Box, Izar’s Greater Selection Box, and the Heavenly Weapon Box.

Besides all the crafting materials, you’ll also get other valuable items from Pibirinerk – in exchange for legendary PvE Enchantment Stones.


[h3]Astro Powers[/h3]
Now it’s time to try out one of the new weapons and give your opponents a taste of your unbridled power! They have powerful effects that you can also use, even if you’re only using the new weapon as a weapon skin.

The power you equip will become active when your HP falls below 80%:

Power: Solaris

The following effects are active for 20 seconds:

Attack speed +20%

Casting speed +20%

Physical attack +750

Magic attack +750

Healing boost +750

You deal 4,500 additional damage to up to 6 opponents within a 8m radius (except for area attacks).

[h3]Your Astro Collection[/h3]
Complete your collection and get all the Astro skills and items from this event series:

Skills

You can obtain two collections by completing the three quests ‘[Sky Weapon] New Sky Power: Sun’, ‘[Sky Weapon] New Sky Power: Moon’ and ‘[Sky Weapon] New Sky Power: Comet’.

Greetings, Daeva!

Winter is coming, you doubtless can’t wait for the festive period to kick in. Then look forward to a new round of elite levels! It’s the perfect way to pass the time, charging up the levels and earning some cool rewards:

This time with new exciting Elite rewards such as the [Rune] Legendary Elite Transformation Contract (16 types), [Rune] Selection Box of Class A, Level 4 Minion Contracts, [Rune] Daevanion Essence and many more items.



The Elite Levels work as follows:

• If you’ve reached Veteran level 80, each Gold Pack (30 days) used in the game increases your Elite level by 1.
• Each Elite level you reach unlocks additional rewards which can only be assigned to one of your characters.
• In contrast to the existing Veteran levels, the Elite level rewards are not reset after 6 months, so they can be applied to another character.
• As with the regular Veteran levels, the individual rewards can be seen in the tooltips from the respective levels in the veteran system.

Further information:

• The published Elite levels are available until 27th January 2021. After that, no further Elite levels can be reached by activating Gold Packs (30 days).
• Your existing Elite rewards remain available to you. These can be viewed and assigned to an individual character in the section ‘Elite Rewards’ under ‘Manage bonuses’.
• In the overview you can still see which and how many Elite levels you have achieved.
• A countdown shows how long the Elite level period has to run.

Full details and rules surrounding the veteran system can be found here in our FAQ.

Blissephone, Santa’s assistant, is desperately looking for her Bliss Boxes, which were intended to be special gifts for Shugo’s Lucky Day. The boxes must have got lost during delivery. Blissephone believes that the two delivery Shugos Tuffinerk and Henchinerk might have something to do with the missing gifts.

Now Blissephone is asking the Daevas for help tracking down the two rogues and the missing Bliss Boxes. The gifts must be taken to Wonnerinerk and Wonnirunerk quickly.

As a reward, Daevas will receive gifts such as the Selection Box: Solorius Weapons, [Event] Motion Card Bundle: Ice Skate, [Event] Meririnerk’s Extreme Weapons Chest and much more!



[h3]Lucky Day Bonuses[/h3]
Log into the game, stay online and grab your first gifts:

Gift on 25/12 between Midnight and 11:59 PM

Log in and stay online. After 6 hours you will receive the item [Event] Shugo’s Lucky Day (containing 1x [Event] Selection Box: Solorius Weapons and 4x [Event] Selection Box: Warm Masquerade).

Daily Gift from 9/12 to 13/1

Log in, stay online and receive the [Event] Gift Pack: Shugo’s Lucky Day every 30 minutes. (The cycle for this gift restarts every day at 9:00 AM. A maximum of 24 gifts per day can be received.)


[h3]Lucky Day Gift Stocking[/h3]
Help Blissephone and be rewarded with the [Event] Green Gift Stocking! There are two ways for you to get the gift:

1. Defeat the Thieving Delivery Shugos

Those two scoundrels Tuffinerk and Henchinerk are hiding in the snow-covered areas of Gelkmaros and Inggison. Teach them a lesson and retrieve the [Event] Bliss Box.

Once the garrisons have been occupied, Wonnerinerk and Wonnirunerk will appear. Give them the boxes to receive the following gifts from them:

For 10 Bliss Boxes you’ll receive 1 Green Gift Stocking, and for 100 you’ll get 1 Green Gift Stocking filled with lots of higher-quality items – and with a bit of luck, a Red Gift Stocking.

But be careful: fraudsters dressed as Wonnerinerk and Wonnirunerk will take the boxes off you too. Fall for their trick and you’ll get an Icy Shower instead of the stocking. Give chase immediately and defeat the fleeing scammer with this Icy Shower. Then you can receive the [Event] Bellstride from him, which you need for Blissephone’s quest.

2. Complete the Quest

Complete Blissephone’s quest in the Gelkmaros and Inggison fortresses to be rewarded with the Green Gift Stocking.


[h3]The Doppelganger[/h3]
It would seem that Blissephone also has a nasty lookalike. Put a stop to her nonsense and collect even more gifts.

You will find the doppelganger 4 times each day: at 11 AM, 1 PM, 7 PM and 11 PM, in the Netherworld and the Calmheart Grove. The rewards included the [Event] Melon Basket, the [Event] Ancient Polishing Stone, the [Event] Bundle with Masquerade: Warm Snowman and other exciting items.


[h3]Lucky Melons[/h3]
The melons can be traded for high prices. This is how you get them:

• Defeat monsters in Gelkmaros, Inggison, Lakrum, Dumaha, North Red Katalam and in the Silentera Canyon.
• Put a stop to the rascals Tuffinerk and Henchinerk.
• Defeat Blissephone to obtain the [Event] Melon Basket. It contains between 10 and 50 melons.

How to exchange Melons:

• Find Merorinerk in the fortresses in Gelkmaros and Inggison. He will give you Stigma Enchantment Stones, Runes and Odians for the Melons at any time.
• Take the Melons to Meririnerk in the fortresses of Gelkmaros and Inggison betwee 9 PM and 9:30 PM, and he’ll exchange them for Transformation Contracts and Extreme Weapons. But this offer is limited, so you’d better visit him on time!

[h3]Winter Hunting Season[/h3]
The Winter Hunting Season has begun in Atreia, and the Daevas are on the tails of the Harsh Wilders! Hunting is permitted every day from December 24th until January 12th between 7 PM and 8 PM: Wild Snufflers, Wild Bellepigs, Wild Larail, Wild Methus and Wild Elrocos.

And the hunt is worth your while: there are drops of [Event] Bundles of Legendary Manastones, [Event] Bundles of Ultimate Manastones, four different [Event] Kinah Bundles, [Event] +9 Stigma Bundles and Minion related items.


[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: Melon Basket, Melon, Green Gift Stocking, Red Gift Stocking, Bliss Box, Icy Shower, Gift Pack: Shugo’s Lucky Day, Bellstride and Blissephone’s Gift.

Countless Daevas lost their lives protecting their homeland of Atreia in the devastating Millennium 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]
Enjoy an increased chance of successfully enchanting your stigmas in the Stigma Enchantment Event, one week each month. Plus during the event you can also pick up special items for Stigma enchantments from the AION Shop.

The enchantment levels in this event start at +9 each time, but may vary. The current enchantment chance will always be displayed in the server maintenance information. Exploit the archaic might of enchanted Stigmas, learn new skills and become stronger than ever before!



Happy enchanting!
