AION Free-to-Play News

Greetings, Daeva!

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

• The AION Shop now offers a wider range of items and more customisation options when it comes to costumes and mounts. Plus keep your eyes open for new items that were previously unavailable in the shop.
• 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.

Swing by the AION Shop today and see for yourself!

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
• 3 of 6 quests completed
• 4 of 6 quests completed

Happy hunting!

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!

Gamerunerk runs her own little toy factory, producing tough little toys. It’s famous for its toy robots, a popular diversion for young and old throughout Atreia. Gamerunerk has asked the Stella Corporation for assistance in producing them, and now the responsibility lies with you to procure Robot Energy and robot parts.

You’re bound to earn just rewards for your support in this endeavour, as toy robots grant rewards once powered up! These include the Boho Chic Outfit, the [Event] Stigma Enchantment Stone and the [Event] Merciless Intruder's Ultimate Armour Chest.



How it works:

[h3]Visit Gamerunerk[/h3]
Gamerunerk and the Toymaker Robot can be found on the square in Stellusia, Dumaha.

[h3]Collect Robot Parts[/h3]
Every kid knows that robots are made of three bits: head, body and legs. These are the parts you’ll need, and there are multiple ways to get them:

• Daily Login: Stay logged into the game for 90 minutes and you’ll earn 5 Mysterious Capsules containing Robot Energy.
• Obtain Light Capsules: You’ll find Light Capsules strewn throughout Dumaha which grant you robot parts or Robot Energy when you collect them.
• Complete Lugbug Missions: In reward for completing missions you’ll earn Mysterious Capsules containing toy parts and more Robot Energy.

Tip: Completing Lugbug Missions earns you extra points. Once you’ve collected enough points, you’ll be rewarded with Pieces of Sinister Chocolate which are required for Chocorunerk’s Sweet Chocolate event.

For 30 points you’ll get 9 [Event] Pieces of Sinister Chocolate.
For 60 points you’ll get 15 [Event] Pieces of Sinister Chocolate.
For 100 points you’ll get 18 [Event] Pieces of Sinister Chocolate.

[h3]Crafting Robots[/h3]
Every kid knows that robots also need energy to work. Sounds like a job for a Daeva like you!

Provide the Toymaker Robot with 5 [Event] Robot Energy and receive 2 [Event] Toy Robots. Open these and the Toymaker Robot will give you a reward.

You can find a list of rewards here.



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