EVENTS GUIDE
Aion 2 September Events Guide: Snowfield of Lament First-Clear Race, Daeva Look Change Week, and the Flower Bloomed at Night Daeva Pass
The September 9 Korean update launches with three events running alongside the new raid: the 'Be the First to Lift the Chalice' first-clear race in Snowfield of Lament, the Daeva Look Change Week with half-price decoration, and a new Daeva Pass season, 'Flower Bloomed at Night'. Here is what each one offers and how to make the most of them.

Be the First to Lift the Chalice: First-Clear Race
This event runs from the September 9 maintenance until the 20th force has cleared the new Snowfield of Lament Sanctuary. Placement is decided by the final boss Deltras's defeat time, and only force members present at that moment qualify.
Rewards are cosmetic bragging rights: the 1st force gets the title 'The First to Break the Sword of Bitter Cold and Ice' plus the Golden Void pet, forces 2-5 get the Silver Void pet, and forces 6-20 get the Bronze Void pet. Payout timing is announced after clear data is checked, and rewards are claimable by mail for one month.
Daeva Look Change Week: Half-Price Decoration
From September 9 to September 30, decoration costs are halved — 200 Quna becomes 100 Quna per part, with unlimited changes during the period.
If you have been sitting on Quna waiting for a good moment to re-skin your character, this two-week window is the cheapest time to do it.
Daeva Pass 'Flower Bloomed at Night': Overview
The new Daeva Pass season runs September 9 to October 6 (05:00), with rewards claimable until the October 7 maintenance. The Basic track costs 2,000,000 Kina (once per server); Premium costs 1,000 Quna plus 30,000 Soul Crystals (soul-bound), also once per server.
The pass has 50 levels, with a weekly XP cap of 15,000 per character. After level 50, repeat rewards give 500 Soul Crystals on Basic and 3,000 on Premium, and levels can be bought at 50 Quna each.
How to Earn Daeva Pass XP
Weekly XP sources per the patch notes: daily attendance 1,000; defeating 10 monsters 60; killing an opposing-faction player 100; Expedition/Transcendence clear 300; Sanctuary clear 700; Shugo Festival 500; successful gear enhancement 10; gear extraction 10.
The level reward table repeats a 13-level cycle: odd levels give typed Soul Crystals (Cogni, Fera, Natura, Varian, Special) — 300 on Basic, 2,000 on Premium — even levels give plain Soul Crystal (700/3,000), and levels 11-13 (and 24-26, 37-39) give 3x Skin Chests (Weapon/Armor/Accessory, x10), with Splendent versions on Premium. Level 50 gives 1x Splendent Skin Chest (x10) on Basic, 3x on Premium.
Planning Notes
1. If you are in a competitive force with raid ambitions, the Chalice race is a single-window opportunity — schedule your Snowfield of Lament attempts early in the event; 2. The pass and the Look Change Week overlap, so a Premium pass plus a decoration pass is the efficient cosmetic season; 3. Weekly XP caps at 15,000 per character — spreading play across the week beats cramming; 4. Promotion items (Neo Ranger and Dark Police suits, Pinky Spin cosmetics) run September 9 to October 21 in the PURPLE store.
For global players: these events belong to the Korean service. The global launch on October 5 ships a modified Season 1, so expect comparable launch events rather than this exact schedule.
