Solorius Toy Festival 2016

Giftrunerk is the greatest toy maker in all of Atreia, but he needs your help to finish making the toys in time! Help him gather pieces to assemble his toy robot and be rewarded with prizes! Giftrunerk has also brought along his favorite teddy bear, the Snuggle Crusher 9000 Plushie, as well the Festive Bonus Machine. All Daevas level 60+ can assist Giftrunerk in making the best gifts of all time!
ASSEMBLING GIFTRUNERK'S ROBOT

Upgrade Arcade: November 2016

Come one, come all, to the Upgrade Arcade! Try your luck by upgrading an on-screen weapon to the next level. At the various upgrade levels, you will unlock different prizes including Stigma Bundles, Tamed White Tiger Mount, and the special Fire/Water Dragon King's Weapons! Step right up! Don’t be shy – we’ll even give you a free try!

- HOW TO PLAY -

The Upgrade Arcade can be accessed by clicking the smiling Shugo icon on the lower right corner of your screen. Use this icon to play, browse the prize list, or check out the Help guide.

To play, you’ll need an Arcade Token. One Arcade Token is consumed each time you begin playing at level 1, and will last until you claim a prize. This means it’s possible for you to get to Upgrade Level 8 on one token!

Click Play to start the mini-game and you'll see the weapon on the screen change before you. Subsequently by clicking Play, you will continue to upgrade the weapon and the Upgrade Level. There is a chance to fail at each upgrade level so play wisely! If you want to claim your prize, click Reward and a random item from the tier's prize list will be placed in your inventory.



If your upgrade fails at Upgrade Level 6 or higher, you have two choices. You can claim your level 1 prize, or you can click the Resume option to spend two tokens and regain your place! The Resume icon lights up to let you know it can be used, but can only be used once per play.

As you play the Upgrade Arcade, you will notice the Frenzy Meter filling up. Every token you use to play or resume will fill up the bar. Once the bar is full, Frenzy Mode begins and you have 90 seconds of boosted upgrade chances and additional Frenzy Rewards! Click away!

Once the Frezy Meter is full, you'll fill one of the stars at the top and when all four are filled you'll instantly receive a prize from the highest prize tier.

- WHERE TO GET ARCADE TOKENS -

There are a few ways for you to get tokens for the Upgrade Arcade.
A survey will be available for players level 30+ for (1) Arcade Token. One survey per server per account.
Prestige Pack subscribers will receive an additional (2) Arcade Token via survey each week of the event.
Arcade Tokens can also be purchased individually or as a bundle from the in-game shop or web store.

- REWARDS -

The rewards can be viewed in the Upgrade Arcade menu and are distributed randomly from the upgrade tier you end on. Remember, you can claim your reward at any time. If you want that prize at Upgrade Level 6 without risking a failure on your next attempt, hit the Rewards button to claim it right away. Keep in mind that if your upgrade fails and you do not resume playing, through choice or lack of tokens, you will only get a prize from Upgrade Level 1.

Rewards available include Armor and Weapon box of the Full Moon, Omega Enchantment Stones, Berdin's Lucky Stars, and much more. The Netherworld Daeva Wings are also available from the event!

Try your luck at the Upgrade Arcade! Mini-game ends November 30, 2016.

Boiling Point Event 2016

It’s starting to cool down around the world of Atreia, how about some some hearty chowder to warm you up? Mendrunerk is back once again with his famous Mystic Chowder, and he needs the help of all Daevas and Archdaevas to find the missing ingredients.

Starting November 2, 2016 you will be able to find him, and his cauldron, in the capital cities, where he will be eagerly awaiting the ingredients you bring him. If you don’t have enough ingredients for his chowder, he will gladly exchange your left over ingredients for some Superior Recovery Potions!

Part One: Mystic Chowder (for level 21+)

When you defeat instance bosses, steal the chowder ingredients for Mendrunerk. Instance bosses have a chance to drop [Event] Bone Broth and [Event] Rolled Dumpling or you can pick up the items from our store to make the chowder. Take them to Mendrunerk in Pandaemonium or Sanctum.



Part Two: Bone Broth & Rolled Dumplings (for level 21+)

If you have extra Bone Broth or Rolled Dumplings, Mendrunerk will happily trade you Superior Recovery Potions for the spare ingredients.
