AION 8.6 Schedule Changes Cheat Sheet: Arena Windows, Fortress Battle Times, and the Weekly Rhythm After March 11




Patch notes posts are fine, but the thing that actually causes the most chaos in legions is always the same:

people show up at the old time.

So here’s a clean 8.6 schedule cheat sheet you can drop straight into Discord or legion chat. This is not a patch notes recap — it’s just the time changes and the weekly rhythm updates that matter after March 11.

Arena of Chaos: new daily entry windows

Update 8.6 changes Arena of Chaos to these daily windows:

  • 12:00–14:00

  • 18:00–20:00

  • 23:00–01:00

(That last one crosses midnight, so yes — it’s a classic “why can’t I queue?” trap.)


Fortress Battles: Bassen/Prades time change

Bassen / Prades Fortress Battles are shifted to:

  • Saturday 21:00

If your group was used to the old Thu/Sun rhythm, update your calendar now so you don’t miss the new prime-time slot.


Heart of Aphsaranta: entry count update for Gold/Veteran

For players on Gold Pack / Veteran, the weekly entries for Heart of Aphsaranta are increased to:

  • 4 entries

This affects weekly planning because it changes the “how many runs do we schedule?” math for groups that stack everything into one or two nights.


Burning Blood Fortress reminder: weekly reset time (so you don’t mis-time lockouts)

Burning Blood Fortress is new in 8.6, and it follows a weekly structure:

  • Weekly reset: Wednesday 09:00

  • Entries: 3 (Gold/Veteran) / 2 (F2P)

Even if you’re not writing a full guide, this belongs in the schedule post because lockout timing decides whether a group runs it early or forgets it entirely.


AION 8.6 – schedule changes

  • Arena of Chaos: 12–14 / 18–20 / 23–01

  • Bassen/Prades Fortress Battles: Saturday 21:00

  • Heart of Aphsaranta (Gold/Vet): 4 entries

  • Burning Blood Fortress reset: Wednesday 09:00 (3 entries Gold/Vet, 2 F2P)
