Possible Loot (21st–28th August)

Win Attractive Prizes in This Event That’s Full of Variety

A rift in space and time has opened up in Atreia: Asmodians and Elyos are using the opportunity to advance into Tiamaranta’s Eye once more. Courageous Daevas are setting out to hunt monsters there, looting valuable chests and careering fearlessly into brutal skirmishes! As rewards for the bravest among them, the +12 Extreme Weapon Selection Box, Sakhril and [Motion Card] Hand Fan await.

Running: 10th July (9 AM) to 9th October (8:59 AM CEST)

[h3]How the Event Works[/h3]

Tiamaranta’s Eye awaits you: Pit yourself against other players in PvP, seize victory for your faction in RvR, go monster hunting or scour the region for exquisite chests.

Face off against powerful opponents every day – defeat Governor Sunayaka and Berserker Sunayaka, and premium rewards will drop for you!

[h3]Entering Via the Rift[/h3]

You can reach Tiamaranta’s Eye via a rift in Gelkmaros or Inggison. Players from any server can join in the fight – the Dimension Hourglass isn’t required to enter.

[h3]Inside Tiamaranta’s Eye[/h3]

Governor Sunayaka or Berserker Sunayaka will appear in the Commander’s Room in the centre of the area at the following times:

• Every day from 1 PM to 1:30 PM → Governor Sunayaka
• Monday to Friday from 8 PM to 8:30 PM → Governor Sunayaka or Berserker Sunayaka
• Saturday to Sunday from 8 PM to 8:30 PM → Berserker Sunayaka

Please note: Since enemies will also drop normal items, the alliance/league leader should adjust the distribution settings accordingly (Distribution Settings → Roll Dice: Normal items or above)

[h3]Rental Equipment and Buff[/h3]

For a little Kinah, the NPC Lisnerk in Tiamaranta’s Eye will lend you a completely enchanted set of Acrimony equipment – the [Event] Equipment Chest of Acrimony contains two weapons and armour for you class! The chest and the equipment disappear as soon as you leave Tiamaranta’s Eye.

The NPC Boronerk will give you a free ultimate transformation buff of your choice: Kaisinel, Marchutan, Ereshkigal or Tiamat. The strengthening spell remains for 30 minutes, even after death. But if you leave Tiamaranta’s Eye, the buff will be removed.
The minions’ Buff Master function can override the buff, however. Please deactivate or remove the Transformation Scrolls to avoid this.

[h3]Rewards[/h3]

Protectorate Gold Coins

Protectorate Gold Coins can be earned for completing quests or opening treasure chests. You can trade in your coins for high-quality items with the NPCs Arseus and Lechi.

Treasure Chests

You’ll need keys to open the treasure chests that you will find throughout Tiamaranta’s Eye. You can obtain these from Keymasters, quests or as a drop from monsters.

During the event you can get great items from the attendance list! The items can only be received once per account. The daily login counter is reset every day at 9 AM.

Please note: The attendance list counts the number of days logged in, not the date that you log in. For example, if you don’t log into the game on day 2 of the event, you’ll receive the item from day 2 if you log in on day 3, the one from day 3 on day 4 etc.

You can pick up the following items from 10th July:

[h3]Note[/h3]

The [Rune] Ice Jewels will be removed from the game at the end of the event.

The Black Cloud Merchants are running their popular Shugo Game again! Play to win valuable prizes – including the [Rune] Transformation Contract: Azphel, Vintage Swim (Mount Acceleration), [Event] Extreme Weapon Selection Box and many more.

Running: 11th June (9 AM) to 10th July (9 AM CEST)

To take part, you will need Shugo Game Tokens which can be purchased in the shop until 3rd July. During the entire duration of the event, you’ll also get three free Shugo Game Tokens per week in the AION Shop.

[h3]How the Shugo Game Works[/h3]

• Click on the Shugo symbol at the bottom-right of your screen to open the Shugo Game.
• Then click on Continue to start the game. This will use a Shugo Game Token.
• Try to upgrade the weapon to its maximum level (8) to earn the highest-level reward.
• Any time you want, you can click on Stop to end the game and you’ll get the reward for the level you got up to.
• It’s also possible for upgrading to fail. Should this happen, you will receive the level 1 reward. If you want to restart the game, you’ll need another Shugo Game Token.
• Using Shugo Game Tokens fills the bar at the top with Shugo Game Points. Once it’s full, this triggers the Nyerk Fever. While active, your chances of successfully upgrading and of winning more valuable prizes both increase.

[h3]Notes[/h3]

• At the end of the event, the Lucky Coins will be removed from the AION Shop. The [Jakunerk] Shugo Game Tokens will be removed both from the AION Shop as well as the game.
• Logging out or switching characters while playing a Shugo Game will automatically give you the prize for the level you got up to. You cannot resume the game where you left off.
• If you reach level 6 or higher and the upgrade fails, you can use two additional Shugo Game Tokens to try again from the level you failed at.

Shiver me timbers! Cap’n Grogget, Commander of the Shulack Pirates, is back. The captain of perhaps the most notorious ship in all of Atreia, the Steel Rake, is seeking his revenge upon the Daevas! He has locked away some Shugos in the Steel Rake Fortress and it is now your job to free them. But be warned: you’ll need all the courage you can muster to survive this adventure.

It will be worth the effort for more than just the Shugos. Scoop up some amazing items during the event, including the [Rune] Major Rune Fragment Chest, [Rune] Special Transformation Contract: Little Lamb Hanbok (70 types), Pirate Captain’s Clothes and more!

Running: 11th June (9 AM) to 10th July (8:59 AM CEST)

[h3]Entering the Instance[/h3]

If you have reached level 80, you can enter the Steel Rake Fortress solo instance with each character once per day. Talk to Wasseronerk in the Inggison Fortress or Hatanerk in the Gelkmaros Fortress – they will grant you access to the instance. Entry will be reset every day at 9:00 AM (CEST).

[h3]Steel Rake Fortress[/h3]

Collect keys when storming the fortress to receive rewards. The more successful you are in the following tasks, the more keys you’ll get and the richer your rewards:

1. Battle your way into the fortress on a cool Jet Ski – it’s the only way to ride!
2. Rescue the Shugos from the clutches of the wicked bosses. The more Shugos you liberate, the more treasure chest keys you will receive at the end from Cap’n Grogget (1 key per freed Shugo).
3. After defeating Grogget, you’ll reach a secluded island, where you can receive the [Event] Freeze Frame from the treasure chests there.

[h3]Sales NPCs[/h3]

You will also meet two sales NPCs in the fortresses of Inggison and Gelkmaros: Yeoruming and Kikirinerk.

Yeoruming

Yeoruming will offer you [Event] Steel Rake Fortress Entry Coins and [Event] Noble Treasure Chest Keys for a certain amount of Kinah. The [Event] Noble Treasure Chest Keys are required for a particular chest which will appear on the solitary island in the Steel Rake Fortress after defeating Cap’n Grogget, and which contain the [Event] Freeze Frame in reward.

Kikirinerk

The [Event] Freeze Frames can be exchanged for many precious items from Kikirinerk, also available in the Inggison Illusion Fortress (Elyos) and Gelkmaros Fortress (Asmodians).

Please note

The event items [Event] Freeze Frame Bundle, [Event] Noble Treasure Chest Key, [Event] Steel Rake Fortress Entry Coin and [Event] Freeze Frame will be removed from the game after the event is over.
