AION Free-to-Play News

Running: 16/10 to 6/11

Dellishunerk and Harrishunerk are supposed to be guarding Trillonerk's Gold Vault. But lately they've been delving deeper and deeper into the art of transformation. Monsters saw a chance to exploit the situation and have stolen Trillonerk's treasure from the gold vault. The Shugos are now searching for brave Daevas to confront the monsters and retrieve Trillonerk's treasure.

Help the Shugos and be rewarded for your efforts with valuable items such as the [Rune] Selection Box of Hanbok Pixel Transformation Contracts (3 types), the Box: Hell Steed, the [Rune] Fire Dragon King's Weapons Chest and the [Rune] Daevanion Essence!





Two to three players enter Trillonerk's Gold Vault and transform into one of three Shugo Transformations. Players receive keys depending on how many points they get for defeating monsters that can then be exchanged for rewards. Players can purchase a special key for special rewards in the AION shop.

• You can find the entrance to Trillonerk's Gold Vault in Lakrum in the Temple of Perpetual Wisdom and in the Everlasting Life Refuge.
• Groups of 2 to 3 players can enter the gold vault 1x daily. Entry is reset daily at 9 AM.
• You can get a Cool-Time Reset Scroll from the AION shop or from the Imperial Chest Bundle in this event.

You can select 1 of 3 Shugo transformations when you enter the gold vault: Lanzenerk, Artunerk or Merlinerk.
Each transformation comes with its own special abilities, so choose wisely!



Grab as many points as you can – show those monsters no mercy! The more points you collect, the better your rank – the better your rank, the more Imperial Chest Keys you can grab.

Each Imperial Chest Key opens an Imperial Chest that contains an [Event] Bundle of Gold Coins.



When fighting against the Pumpkin Kings in the instances listed below, you’ll come across special Imperial Chests. These are much bigger than the normal ones and can only be opened with the Indestructible Imperial Chest Key. They contain precious Imperial Chest Bundles!

You can purchase the Indestructible Imperial Chest Keys in the AION shop or when trading with the NPCs Dellishunerk and Harrishunerk




You can exchange the [Event] Gold Coins from the Imperial Chest in the capital cities with the NPCs Dellishunerk (Elyos) and Harrishunerk (Asmodians) in return for valuable items.



You can find a list of rewards here.



Note: The event items will be removed from the game one week after the event finishes.

An unnatural mood has swept across all of Atreia – those who keep their cool now will be able to celebrate, battle and clean up in the Halloween event: there’s daily quests, bombastic buffs, exploding pumpkins and impressive rewards all across Lakrum, such as [Rune] Autumn Harvest Transformation Contract (65 types), Magic Hour Robes and the [Rune] Box of Ultimate Magical Manastones.



It’s all going haywire in Atreia this Halloween: the members of the Milky Way League have had their Halloween Pumpkins stolen! Halloween can’t take place this year if they don’t get these pumpkins back fast. So we’re calling on brave Daevas like you to hunt down the thieving Pumpkin Kings. You can get support from Kabe, a Shugo who has dressed up as a black cat – he’ll kit you out with Transformation Potions.



Pay a visit to Esta and Isuta and hunt the Pumpkin Kings in the instances listed below: blow them up with the event bombs – it’s the only way to defeat them! Defeat an event boss and you will receive 1 Pumpkin King’s Bundle as well as 1 Halloween Pumpkin. A full list of potential rewards can be viewed further down this news post.

Halloween Candy Master Kabe has another daily quest for you in which you can bag 2 Ancient Transformation Potions.



A Nobleman’s Coffin: Get 100% more AP and a drop rate boosted by 100% for one hour. You receive the buffs by clicking on the coffin that appears in Lakrum. Activate your buffs as many times as you like – the only catch is that you cannot renew them when they are active.



Charging stations for Candy Bombs will be appearing in the capital cities of Lakrum and Dumaha daily at 1 PM and 7 PM. For each of your 3 visits, these stations will give you 3 bombs. If you stay logged in, you’ll also get 5 Candy Bombs every 30 minutes (up to a maximum of 20 a day).
