Liberate helpless Shugos and seize astounding treasures
Running: 1/7 to 5/8
Shiver me timbers! Cap’n Grogget, notorious Commander of the Shulack Pirates, has returned. The master of perhaps the most dreaded vessel in Atreia, the Steel Rake, is plotting revenge against the Daevas! He has imprisoned some Shugos in the Steel Rake Fortress, and now it’s up to you to release them. But beware: you’ll need every ounce of courage to make it through this quest.
The effort won't just be for the Shugos: you'll collect incredible items during the event, like the Selection Box of Helios Weapons – Solaris, the [Event] Balaurea Odian Chest, and the Restoration Stone.
The mechanics:
Players at level 76 or higher may enter the Steel Rake Fortress solo instance once per character daily. Access resets every day at 9 AM.
You can gain additional entries as follows:
- Log in daily and remain active for 2 hours to receive 1 [Event] Entry Coin for the Steel Rake Fortress.
- Trade the [Event] Freeze Frame with Katoshunerk for Entry Coins.
- Acquire Entry Coins from the AION Shop between 3/7 and 5/8.
Invade the Steel Rake Fortress
In your raid on the fortress, you gather keys to liberate the Shugos. The more keys you accumulate from battling pirates, the greater your reward will be.
Phase 1: Gaining Entry to the Fortress
Speak to Blubberinerk to find out what needs to be done. Make your way to the fortress on a Jet Ski (isn't that awesome?), armed with the Jet Ski's weapons: Drana Bomb and Long-range Drana Bomb.
Phase 2: Fortress Battle
In the Steel Rake Fortress, you get the Pipeline Blast Bomb from Blubberinerk to sabotage the fortress pipeline. Blow up 3 Pipeline Controllers with it!
Moreover, you'll get the Mounter for Enhanced Rascal to pilot the mech and lay waste to Cap’n Grogget’s cronies! Utilize the full weapon capacity of the mech: Fire Cannon, Fire Throw, Install Bomb, and Paralysis.
Defeat Grogget’s ragged henchmen: Doctor Arcetto, Madame Chichiriko, and Captain Muata. Overcome them, grab their Slave Keys, and liberate 10 Shugos!
Finally, give Grogget a thrashing he won't forget.
Phase 3: Claim Your Rewards
After defeating Grogget, you receive one key and additional keys for every Shugo saved (up to 10). Using these, teleport with Blubberinerk to a treasure island where you can collect the ‘[Event] Freeze Frame’ from the Steel Rake chests.
Exchange the Freeze Frames with Katoshunerk for valuable items and enjoy your moment of triumph.
Remark: All event items will be removed from the game one week after the event's conclusion.
