Danger in Gardener’s Paradise



Fight the Pests, Save the Plants and Get Rewarded!

Greenhaven Garden has opened its gates for all Daevas to garden to their hearts’ content. The watering cans, spades and bags of organic fertiliser are waiting. But what’s that? Lots of different pests are trying to attack the plants, threatening this prestigious garden project – this can’t happen. Help the other Daevas to defeat the pests!

In this event you can pick up rewards such as the Sweet Couples’ Costume, Valentine’s Weapon Selection Box and many more. Additionally, you can reap loads of experience points during this event!

Running: 7th February to 6th March





[h3]Greenhaven Garden[/h3]

From level 80, you can enter the garden once per day by using the portal in the Gelkmaros Fortress or Inggison Illusion Fortress. In the AION Shop you’ll also find various entry scrolls on offer.

You can choose between two difficulty levels:
  • Normal: Recommended from level 80. You receive 1x [Event] Lotus Blossom for each saved plant.
  • Hard: Recommended from level 85. You receive 2x [Event] Lotus Blossom for each saved plant.

[h3]Save the Plants[/h3]

As soon as you enter the garden, you’ll have to go after the pests to save the plants. A timer counts down from 60 minutes, displaying how much time is left.

Beautiful Greenhaven Fladia, Arbour Fladia, as well as marvellous Greenhaven Frightcorn and Arbour Frightcorn flourish in the garden. But pests like the Dukaki Thief and Greenhaven Tenaklu are attacking in several waves that you need to repel. You can use Combat Support to make a stand against the attacks.

[h3]Time to Harvest[/h3]

Get harvesting once the plants have reached their Harvesting Stage. Depending on the difficulty level, each plant contains 1 to 2 lotus blossoms. You can exchange the blossoms for valuable rewards (Valentine’s Day items, [Event] Sakhril Chest) with the kind NPC Gymir. You’ll find him in the Gelkmaros Fortress or the Inggison Illusion Fortress.

[h3]Flower Power for More XP[/h3]

There’ll also be an XP boost active during the event:
  • Monday to Friday (9 AM each day): 100% more experience

Event: The Secret Hellpath



A glowing meteorite shower has descended upon Gelkmaros and Inggison, revealing a hidden entrance to the Secret Hellpath. Explore the area and defeat the monsters before they invade Balaurea. Awards await you like the [Rune] Transformation Contract: Ereshkigal, [Rune] Box of Class S Minion Contracts (10 types) and the +6 Extreme Equipment Chest!

Running: 17th January 2024 to 7th February 2024

[h3]Venture Down the Hellpath[/h3]
Speak with Snoopinerk who will give you the task to enter the Secret Hellpath. Then it’s up to you to defend Atreia against the monster invasion for 20 minutes.

Use the Energy of Protection dropped by fallen monsters – destroying them gives you a currency which you can spend on weapons for the instance, as well as improvements to your skills.

Depending on how well you do during the defence, you’ll receive the following rewards:
  • 10:00 minutes remaining and 500,000 points earned → 3x [Event] Camo Chest Key, 3x [Event] Experience Crystal and 1x Investigation Report about the Secret Hellpath
  • 7:30 minutes remaining and 500,000 points earned → 1x [Event] Camo Chest Key, 1x [Event] Experience Crystal and 1x Investigation Report about the Secret Hellpath
    If you have less then 7:30 minutes remaining and earned fewer than 220,000 points, you’ll go away empty-handed.

During your battle on the Hellpath, it’s possible that you’ll meet a nasty Wildcat. Defeat it and then grab the Incognito Key and the Key for Gold Camo Chest. Using the Incognito Key you can open the door behind which the Gold Camo Chest is located. Please note that you’ll lose both keys as soon as you leave the instance.

[h3]Get Meteorite Debris[/h3]
As a reward, you can get a [Rune] Orichalcon Hammer from the Camo Chest or the AION Shop. You can use this to process the remnants of the Glowing Meteorite to get the [Rune] Glowing Meteorite Bundle.

You can either use a hammer to receive one bundle or use 30 hammers to get 33 bundles (or 36 with a little luck).

Note: The items [Event] Key for Gold Camo Chest, [Rune] Orichalcon Hammer, [Rune] Glowing Meteorite Bundle, Snoopinerk’s Gift Pack, Incognito Key and Entry Scroll for the Contaminated Hellpath will be removed from the game and AION Shop after the event.
