CHAPTER 01

The storefront — six weeks, three time zones, one DST switch in between

Event

The window is the same for all five product blocks: it opens after the regular maintenance that kicks off the period and closes before the maintenance that ends it. No item drops early, and none survives a minute past.

Notice the abbreviation swap at the end of each line. The period starts in PDT and CEST and ends in PST and CET — daylight saving time ends midway through the storefront, and the reference time zone shifts an hour without the date changing.

Effective duration

From the first to the last day of sale
⚙ 6 weeks
A full six weeks between the two maintenances. That's a long run for a seasonal event — no first-day rush, but no announced extension either.

⟡ What the notice doesn't promise

⟡ Attention
The footer on all five blocks repeats the same line: "this product may be sold again in the future, in the same or similar form." Nothing here is truly exclusive. Buyers are paying for the window, not for rarity.
CHAPTER 02

Armor sets — Monarch of Blood, Midnight Witch, and Midnight Slasher

Event

All three sets cost the same: $29.99, with 4,350 Mileage back. But they don't deliver the same number of pieces. Monarch of Blood comes with six items because it includes the Cloak; the other two stop at five armor pieces.

All of them live in Shop → Atelier → Costume Sets → Skins. They land in the buying character's Shop Warehouse and, once claimed, appear complete in Closet → Armor.

Monarch of Blood (Skin: Set)

6 pieces · 4,350 Mileage
$29.99
Chest, Greaves, Helmet, Gloves, Boots, and a Cloak. It's the only one of the three with a Cloak — same price tag, one extra piece. Trade/Delete/Storage locked; customization unlocked.

Midnight Witch (Skin: Set)

5 pieces · 4,350 Mileage
$29.99
Chest, Greaves, Helmet, Gloves, and Boots. No Cloak. Trade/Delete/Storage locked; customization unlocked.

Midnight Slasher (Skin: Set)

5 pieces · 4,350 Mileage
$29.99
Chest, Greaves, Helmet, Gloves, and Boots. No Cloak. Trade/Delete/Storage locked; customization unlocked.

Minimum level

For any of the three sets
⚙ Level 2+
Low enough to be almost decorative — it only blocks purchase on a freshly made, untouched character.

⟡ The set changes with the character's gender

⟡ Attention
The skin's design varies by the gender of whoever wears it. If the character changes gender later, the skin switches to match the new gender — and the banner images are staged for demonstration, so they may differ from how it looks on your character.
CHAPTER 03

Halloween Night — one weapon per class, and only your class

Event

Eight weapon skins, $11.99 each, 1,750 Mileage each. The price is the same across the board, and so is the lock: "you can only purchase weapon skins compatible with your character's class."

They live in Shop → Atelier → Weapon/Wings/Pet → Weapon Skin. Delivered to the Shop Warehouse and claimed in Closet → Weapons, valid only on the server of the buying character.

Halloween Night (Greatsword) — the Gladiator's weapon skin, one of eight versions locked by class

Minimum level

⚙ Level 2+
Same lock as the armor sets. There's no cap on how many different weapon skins a character can buy — only the limit imposed by the class itself.
CHAPTER 04

Pets — Pumpkin Carriage and Little Ghost

Event

Two pets at $19.99, with 2,900 Mileage each, limited to one purchase per server. They live in Shop → Atelier → Weapons/Wings/Pets → Products, land in the Shop Warehouse, and appear in the Pets menu once claimed.

This is where the storefront's highest level lock sits: level 10, five times what the armor sets and weapons require.

Pumpkin Carriage — a golden Cinderella-style carriage, a pumpkin for a roof and lanterns on the sides
Pumpkin Carriage — a golden Cinderella-style carriage, a pumpkin for a roof and lanterns on the sides
Little Ghost — the floating sheet comes with a tiny baby ghost tagging along

$19.99
Trade/Delete/Storage locked. Delivered to the buying character's Shop Warehouse; contents checked in the Pets menu.

Pet: Little Ghost

Once per server · 2,900 Mileage
$19.99
Trade/Delete/Storage locked. Delivered to the buying character's Shop Warehouse; contents checked in the Pets menu.

Minimum level

Highest in the entire storefront
▲ Level 10+
Before
Level 2 for armor, weapons, and accessories
After
Level 10 for both pets

⟡ A mismatch in the notice itself

⟡ Attention
The block's header announces "Pet: Pumpkin Carriage / White Rabbit," but none of the three tables below mention White Rabbit — all of them list Pet: Little Ghost. The product, contents, and notes tables agree with each other; it's the title that's out of step. Until there's an official correction, treat the second pet as Little Ghost.
CHAPTER 05

Spider Wings — the only purchase locked to the character

Event

$19.99 for the Spider Wings (Bound), with 2,900 Mileage. The limit changes shape here: it's not one per server, it's one per character — and the item is bound on acquisition.

The path is different from the others, too. The wings land in the Shop Warehouse, but pass through the Cube before they're worth anything: use the item in the Cube and only then does the exchange become available in the Wings menu.

Spider Wings — the only piece bound per character, and the one that goes through the Cube before it counts
Spider Wings — the only piece bound per character, and the one that goes through the Cube before it counts

Spider Wings (Bound)

Once per character · 2,900 Mileage
$19.99
Trade/Delete/Storage/Customization all locked — the most restricted item on the storefront, the only one that also doesn't accept customization.

Minimum level

Between the armor sets and the pets
⚙ Level 5+
Characters below level 5 don't see the purchase button.

Redemption flow

The only storefront item that passes through the Cube
⚙ Warehouse → Cube → Wings
Before
Armor and weapons go straight to the Closet
After
The wings need to be used in the Cube before they show up in the Wings menu

⟡ Bound means bound

⟡ Attention
Characters that didn't buy the wings can't use them, and they only work on the buying character's server. With the one-per-character limit, equipping two characters on the same account means two purchases.
CHAPTER 06

Helmets and Decor — fifteen pieces at 300 Quna

Event

The cheapest tier of the storefront: 300 Quna per piece, a single price for all fifteen. They live in Shop → Atelier → Costumes → Skins and go straight to the buyer's Closet — no Shop Warehouse stop.

The divide that actually matters isn't visual, it's about the rules. The four Helmet/Facewear pieces accept customization and have no purchase limit. The eleven Decor pieces don't accept customization — and, being non-customizable, they're once per server.

CHAPTER 07

The final tally — and the fine print that applies to everything

System

Adding up all 29 items at Purple Store prices, the whole storefront comes to $245.86 plus 4,500 Quna, returning 35,750 Mileage. But nobody needs all eight weapon bundles: seven are for classes your character doesn't play.

The realistic tally for someone who wants everything their character can actually use is different: three sets, one weapon, two pets, and the wings — $161.93 plus the 4,500 Quna for the accessories.

⟡ What's worth it

  • Six weeks of window — enough time to see the set on your character before deciding
  • Mileage back on every dollar bundle, at the same rate
  • The four Helmet/Facewear pieces at 300 Quna are customizable with no purchase limit
  • Monarch of Blood delivers six pieces for the price the others charge for five

⟡ What costs you later

  • Everything is server-bound to the buying character — transfer servers, lose access
  • Nothing can be traded, deleted, or put in storage
  • The eleven Decor pieces are one purchase per server and don't accept customization
  • Zero Collection Points on armor and weapons
  • Every block warns the product may be sold again later

Full storefront

All 29 items, ignoring the class lock
$245.86 + 4,500 Quna
3 sets ($89.97) + 8 weapon skins ($95.92) + 2 pets ($39.98) + wings ($19.99) + 15 accessories (4,500 Quna). Total Mileage: 35,750.

Realistic storefront

One character, one class
$161.93 + 4,500 Quna
Three sets, one weapon skin, two pets, and the wings. The class lock cuts $83.93 off the total without the player losing anything they could've actually equipped.

Mileage per dollar

Identical rate across all three price tiers
⚙ ~145 per $1
4,350 ÷ 29.99 · 1,750 ÷ 11.99 · 2,900 ÷ 19.99 — all land around 145 Mileage per dollar. There's no better-value bundle: buying bigger doesn't earn extra Mileage.

Collection Points

Armor and weapons
▼ Zero
Items from the armor sets and weapon skins don't grant Collection Points in-game. Buying for collection progress doesn't advance it at all.
  • Purchase level — level 2 for armor sets, weapon skins, helmets, and decor; level 5 for the Spider Wings; level 10 for the two pets
  • Server binding — sets, weapon skins, pets, and wings are delivered to the Shop Warehouse of the server where the buying character is, and can only be used on that server
  • Gender — the armor set's design changes with the character's gender; change gender, and the skin switches to the matching version
  • Staged banners — the notice's images are composed for product demonstration and may differ from the actual appearance, depending on the character and in-game environment
  • Customization screen — on some items the skin may look different from what the screen shows, depending on device settings and the in-game environment (lighting, scenery, outfit material)
  • Customizable areas — on some items, the regions where customization is possible may be changed or modified
  • Collection Points — not granted by armor set items or weapon skins
  • Resale — all five blocks state the product may be sold again in the future, in the same or similar form
  • Prices — all dollar amounts are from the Purple Store and may vary by storefront policy
Opinion

Scaryel's take

Analysis

Scaryel comments

⟡ Creator's voice
“The detail that sets this storefront apart from the earlier ones isn't the price — it's the class lock on the weapon skins. It looks like a restriction, and in practice it's the only honest discount in the bundle: it cuts $83.93 you wouldn't have been able to use anyway. What bothers me is buried at the end of the fine print, and nobody's going to read it: zero Collection Points. In AION 2, collection is real progression, with a stat payoff at the end, and a player who spends the full $245 doesn't advance it by a single point. It's pure cosmetic, and the notice only says so in item 7 of an 8-item list. Add the server binding, with the free server transfer window running at exactly this moment, and you've got the real trap: buying the set before deciding where you're going to live.”
Final verdict⟡ Well-priced seasonal storefront · Pick your server before opening your walletConfidence: 7/10
Impact

Impact on players

Community

What changes in practice

The storefront opens October 13 (PDT) — the same day as the maintenance that kicks off the free server transfer window. Transferring after you buy doesn't bring the cosmetics along.

For guilds
Nothing here gives combat power — there's no guild pressure to buy. The only thing to coordinate is the parallel server transfer window.
For solo PvP
A weapon skin doesn't change skill telegraphing, but it does change your character's silhouette. Anyone ranking up who wants to stay unnoticed might not want to be the only Slasher on the server.
For casual players
The 300 Quna tier is the storefront's best value: four customizable helmets with no purchase limit for a fraction of a full set's cost.

⟡ For those in a hurry

01:00
  1. Window: opens after the Oct 13 (PDT) / Oct 14 (CEST) maintenance and closes before the Nov 24 (PST) / Nov 25 (CET) one — six weeks
  2. Armor: Monarch of Blood, Midnight Witch, and Midnight Slasher at $29.99 each, 4,350 Mileage — only Monarch includes a Cloak (6 pieces versus 5)
  3. Weapons: eight Halloween Night skins at $11.99, 1,750 Mileage, class-locked — one for each of the eight classes
  4. Pets: Pumpkin Carriage and Little Ghost at $19.99, one purchase per server, level 10+
  5. Wings: Spider Wings at $19.99, one per character, level 5+, pass through the Cube before they're usable
  6. Accessories: fifteen pieces at 300 Quna — 4 customizable helmets with no limit, 11 non-customizable Decor pieces, once per server
  7. Mismatch: the pet block's header cites White Rabbit, but every table lists Little Ghost
  8. The trap: everything is bound to the buying character's server, nothing can be traded or stored, and armor and weapons grant zero Collection Points
