AION Update 8.6 Deletes These Items on March 11 — Use Them Before They’re Gone

Quick PSA for AION EU players: Update 8.6 (Raksha’s Revenge) goes live March 11, 2026, and Gameforge has confirmed a list of items that will be permanently removed with the patch.

If you’ve been hoarding currencies “for later,” this is your use-it-or-lose-it moment.

Items being deleted with Update 8.6 (March 11)

According to the official forum announcement, the following will be removed from the game:

• Nickel Gold

• Ducat Gold

• Lord’s Sacred Water

• [Event] Lord’s Sacred Water

• [Event] Lord’s Sacred Water Bundle

• [Event] Lord’s Sacred Water Chest

Recommendation from Gameforge: use up any remaining stocks before the update hits.

What you should do right now

Here’s the practical checklist:

1. Spend your Nickel Gold + Ducat Gold ASAP
   If those currencies are sitting in your inventory/storage, treat them like they expire on March 11 — because they effectively do.

2. Use any Lord’s Sacred Water items (including event versions)
   Don’t assume event bundles/chests will “convert” into anything. If it’s on the delete list, it’s on the delete list.

3. Plan around the weekly sale limitation reset (nice little bonus)
   Gameforge also noted the weekly sale limitation for certain NPC purchases (using coins/tokens that are being deleted) is being reset:

   • March 6 at 18:00

   • March 9 at 09:00

   That’s basically your last-minute chance to squeeze value out of leftovers (depending on what you still can buy).

Why this matters (even if you don’t care about the shop)

This isn’t just “cleanup.” Update 8.6 also changes parts of the EU economy/currency setup in general, so deleting old currencies is part of the transition. In other words: don’t expect refunds, don’t expect compensation, don’t expect a grace period.
