For two years we have brought you the most exciting expansions to the game, with new lands, class spells, allods, confrontations, events and fun! With Lords of Destiny you met the mysterious Tekyans and discovered the stunning environment of Pearl Ring, Crystal Mountains and the new Astral instances. Let’s not forget about another feature that was a feast for the eyes that brought new action to your adventurer’s life! Tep’s Pyramid is now the place to be for the daring guilds of Sarnaut, as the Dominion also brings a new level to PVP activity! And much, much more is to come in the future and we are glad to have you as a part of the Allods Online Community!

 

But let’s focus on our celebration of the month! You missed the opportunity to tame the FREE Grey Wolf last year; it will be back! You wanted to show off with an amazing outfit? A new costume and headgear will be available too: The Set of the Noble Hero! And many more rewards for your characters!

 

We will bring back one of your favorite events, with the return of Vladimir Jubilein in the Old Square, Ivan Godovikov besides Aidenus Tower and the exquisite Prekasa and Inga who will remind you of the anniversary dance! So gather the Anniversary coins you have looted all across Sarnaut, and get your hands on the hottest accessories in Allods Online from the 10th of May until the 10th of June!

Unlock the Treasures of the Prophetic Card of the Apocalypse!

Thursday, April 25 2013 - 2:53 AM
by piopico


The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse has long been thought to be just a legend to scare little Gibberlings who dare to not finish their plates. They gallop through the allods looking for those who they deem should not survive; the few people who have glimpsed these malevolent creatures can’t decide whether the horsemen or the mounts are scarier! Pestilence, War, Famine and Death are their names to strike terror upon first glimpse!

Don’t go down on your knees and prepare your survival speech just yet, as you may soon find yourself as one of the horsemen bringing the Apocalypse to your enemies!
 

From Thursday, discover Hell with the Prophetic Card of the Infernal Treasurer in Allods Online!

 


The new Prophetic Card won’t only bring chaos, but many rewards for those who manage to decipher it: vanity costumes, crystal chips, gold dust, some great new shoulder accessories, other great prizes and… the set of the Doomsday Horseman! Before showing you what we’re talking about let’s get to the details of the offer first!
 
From Thursday, April 25th until Wednesday, May 1st you will be able to loot the amazing Prophetic Card of the Infernal Treasurer, giving you a chance to win exclusive (but evil) pony mounts and a mysterious costume!


To unravel the treasures of the Prophetic Cards, Ancient Compass will be available in the Item Shop from April 25th until May 16th!


It is now time to explain how the Prophetic Cards work for our new recruits, and to provide a reminder for our veterans!


For players who joined our adventures in the recent Lords of Destiny expansion, let’s start with the basics of the system. From the 25th of April, players will see a new item dropped by monsters in-game, it is the Prophetic Card of the Infernal Treasurer. This item allows players to play a game of chance, and win some truly amazing prizes! They start dropping from mobs from the 25th of April until the 1st of May!
 
To take part in the action, any player that wishes to use the Prophetic Card needs to obtain an item called an Ancient Compass, which is available from the Item Shop from April 25th until May 16th. This will allow them to scan the Prophetic Card and see what prizes are hiding within!
 
You will then be given an opportunity to turn over one to four cards and winning the prizes that lie beneath, depending on how many Ancient Compasses you have in your bag! Don’t worry if you have some Prophetic Cards left over after May 1st, as you can open them after that date with your Ancient Compass until their expiration.



 
These can be obtained through gPotato, Gem Shards, and Premium Crystals. Be advised that any Ancient Compass obtained through Premium Crystals are bound, but if using gPotato or Gem Shards you can trade or auction them!
 
Players should also be aware that prizes won through the Prophetic Card of the Infernal Treasurer are bound to the character, so when opening these, make sure that you are using them on the correct character! Keep reading to find out more details about this new mechanic.
 

Prophetic Card of the Infernal Treasurer: Contains many prizes. Can be traded. You will be able to gain them from monsters from April 25th until the May 1st. Beware, these cards expire after 15 days, so don’t wait too long before using them!
 

Ancient Compass: Used to open the Prophetic Card. Can be traded or auctioned unless obtained with Premium Crystals. Available in the Item Shop from April 25th until May 16th.

 

Stroke of Luck

 
Those here for the last event may remember that each time they used a prophetic card, a bar below the interface (see the screenshot above) would fill up, and every 60 points accumulated would give them a Stroke of Luck.
 
Once this bar is full your interface will change color and you will be given a chance to win one prize from a selection of some of the very best prizes available in this event!
 


Prizes

As for previous Prophetic Cards events, you will have the chance to tame exclusive mounts! And unlike their cousins, the evil ponies won’t be cute and fluffy, but will bring the Apocalypse to Sarnaut! Brrr….
 



Excellent news for our mount lovers everywhere! For those of you who prefer to know how useful your mounts are in getting you out of tight spots when questing, here are the stats:
 


But we know there are lots of you who will be looking at these mounts and this offer, for the sake of pure vanity. After all, who doesn’t like showing off their unique look, new costumes and sparkling mounts in Novograd and Nezebgrad? This Prophetic Card will be bringing back the much sought after class costumes for all the archetypes, including the new set of the Doomsday Horseman!


There will also be the beloved shoulder accessories, but before we get to them, let’s refresh your memory with some of the class costumes.




But now for some new reasons for vanity! This Prophetic Card will be reintroducing the shoulder accessories, ranging from a new lovable creatures to a book of magic. Have a look and see what you think!


Talking again about vanity, there is a brand new item to discover! We are talking about the amazing Doomsday Horseman set!
Have a look at it!

So many awesome prizes to win, so remember to get looting those Prophetic Cards of the Infernal Treasurer as soon as they start dropping from the 25th of April!
 
The Apocalypse has never felt so good in Allods Online!

Ancient Compasses will be added to the Item Shop in the latter morning PDT of Thursday, April 25th.

[Event] Dominion Ally Design!

Wednesday, April 24 2013 - 9:01 AM
by piopico


Lords of Destiny not only introduced a new PvP battle known as the Dominion Wars, but it brought along six trusty allies that one could choose from to assist in one’s Dominion engagement. These allies range from a battle golem that blasts enemies with its cannons to a forestfolk healer that soothes allies’ wounds with its curative magic. It’s fun to mix and match the Dominion allies depending on your character for a real intense strategy!
 
Now it’s your turn to take the role of Igor and conjure a fictional and unique Dominion ally that will aid its master on the battlefield. Whether you want to create an ally with brute rage or something more delicate that can charm its way out of trouble, that will be up to you as the puppet master to manipulate your monstrous creation.
 

Ready your art tools and brain juice as the Dominion Ally Design event will last from Thursday, April 25th to May 5th on our Facebook Fan Page.

 
Event Rules:
 
• Design a unique Dominion ally with the following requirements:
- Draw/design what the Dominion ally looks like.
- Think of the Dominion ally’s name, role (i.e. DPS, tank, support, etc.), one main spell/ability, brief background story of how the ally enlisted for the Dominion Wars.
• Once the Dominion Ally Design event has been posted on our Facebook Fan Page this Thursday, upload the picture of your Dominion ally through the “Photos” section.
• Reply to your picture with the ally name, role, spell, and background story as a comment.
• Reply to your picture with your character’s name and server.
 
Prizes:
 
We will choose our 10 favorite entries and award the winners with 1,000 Premium Crystals!
 

Start dreaming about your Dominion ally for this monster mash that goes from Thursday, April 25th to May 5th!
 
Remember, you can only participate in this event if you are a fan of our Allods Facebook Fan Page. If you have not joined the Allods Facebook Fan Page yet, now is the time!

Celebrate Summoners with the Dance of Death!

Wednesday, April 24 2013 - 8:30 AM
by piopico


 
It’s that time of year when the leaves have fallen and a cold chill takes over Sarnaut. A time when Summoners celebrate the the natural decay of life before the winter and honor the rumors of the dreaded Dance of Death!
 
For this event all Summoners are encouraged to embrace their class and are welcome to trade their special holiday coins for unique vanity items! These items can only be purchased by Summoners from Holiday Committee Officials in Novograd and Nezebgrad.
 
Rise from the grave to take part in this spooky celebration between the 25th of April and the 4th of May.


While other classes enjoy getting dressed up in fancy new attire for their festivals, Summoners rejoice with their twisted methods of the dark arts to create illusions for themselves and others. It’s a mind warping experience for everyone in Sarnaut!
 
There are three vanity headpieces available, as well as some temporary disguises. These items are not bound and can be traded to other players.
 

Mask of Eternal Eclipse – This mask shows a dark effect and an eclipse in the sky.


 

Zem Scientist’s Glasses – These goggles cause everyone around to appear as skeletons.


 

Technomancer’s Helm – This helm creates a green pixelated effect with data displays.


 
In addition to vanity helms, Summoners can also purchase temporary disguises with their holiday coins.
 

Cadaveromicon – Transforms you into a random minion for a couple of minutes.
 

 
Even if you are not the type that jumps at the sound of whistling from the wind, indulge yourself in the spooky atmosphere that is creeping to a Sarnaut near you.
 
Let’s dance to the sounds of screams with Summoners between the 25th of April and 4th of May!

Well, today is your lucky day as your wild fantasy will become a reality!…sort of. “Laguna Chatata” – it’s an ancient Sarnaut saying for “There are no worries”. Set your struggles aside for a day as we lose ourselves in a bubbly day of wacky entertainment. Break some salty sweat with an epic crab race of a lifetime!

[Event] Wanted! Master’s Guardians

Sunday, April 21 2013 - 5:19 AM
by piopico

allods online guardian master mmo
 

From the first days of Lords of Destiny, Nihaz has been bored. The adventurers ran to Tep’s Pyramid, eager to fight a new evil spirit, and those who dare to come back to his Dead City for an adrenaline rush are rare indeed. And to be honest, his minions (or favorite victims) are becoming tiresome with their threats of revenge… Nihaz is really, really bored and he doesn’t like it. At all!

 

allods online twitter event guardian

 

So, in order to rid himself of this feeling he thought he would play a trick on his servants, the Master’s Guardians! To determine their cunning and ability to act in a new environment, he sent them accross the allods to see who would be the one to come home first. But so far, no one has showed up in the Isle of the Revelation! Regardless of whether they are completely lost, or simply need some space from their Master, Nihaz needs YOU! It will be your task to find the servants every day so that Nihaz can put them back where they belong!


 

From Monday, April, 22th until Friday, April, 26th find the Master’s Guardians across the allods!

 

allods online guardian nihaz event twitter

 

How can you find them?

 

- Every day, we will announce on our Official Twitter Page that we have hidden the Guardian. Don’t worry, we will give you a clue to his location so you know where to look! Be sure to be thourough in your search!

- When you find the Guardian, take a screenshot of him next to your avatar (so we know it’s you!) and tweet it to our page.

 

 

What are the rules?

 

- Follow our Allods Online Twitter account.

- Keep an eye on our Twitter page, as the announcement can happen anytime!

- Once you have an idea of where the Guardian is, run to the zone, and take a screenshot of your character with him!

- Send the screenshot from your Twitter account (remember you have an in-built app allowing you to do so from the game!). Don’t forget to include your character’s name, its server and #allods, so we can find it in the feed!

For example: “Piopico, League has found the Guardian! Avilon #Allods (with the screenshot attached)”

- Participants not sending the screenshots or the hashtag #allods won’t be counted, so make sure you include them.

- One win is allowed per account for the duration of the event! So no reincs please!

- The first 5 to tweet from each faction will win the prizes!

 

 

What is Nihaz offering you?

 

Although evil, our divinity is a man of his word! Nihaz will offer 500 Premium Crystals and a Gypsy Outfit to the adventurers who manage to find his minions!

 Are you ready for the hunt? Be fast! Anyone could find the Master’s Guardian. Will you be the one?

[Event] Doublin’ PioPico!

Monday, April 15 2013 - 2:18 PM
by piopico


 
Now that I’m getting more settled in my new home (rainy land of Ireland), it’s time for a fun event that’ll show you some of the local sights while letting you have some exploration! For this event, you will need a camera (or phone with camera), two legs, and a good sense of direction with your IRL (in real life) surroundings.
 
I thought it would be fun to show some of the local sights around the city while making a copycat event out of it. With that said, I will show 5 pictures of myself at specific locations around Dublin. You must find close locations around where you live IRL and take a picture of yourself at the same type of location for all/any of the 5 pictures.
 
Of all the copycat entries, I will choose my favorite picture from each of the 5 types of photos that I have shown, and award the owner of the picture with 1,500 Premium Crystals!
 
This means you don’t have to copy each of the 5 pictures since it’s understandable that some of you may have not easy access to the same IRL settings, but it will increase your chances of winning since you have more entries that could be the winning photo of that photo type.
 
Rules:
 
1. Photos #1 – #5 will be posted everyday from Monday – Friday on Allods Online Twitter
 
• Photo #1 – Monday April 15
• Photo #2 – Tuesday April 16
• Photo #3 – Wednesday April 17
• Photo #4 – Thursday April 18
• Photo #5 – Friday April 19
 
2. Once you see the picture tweeted, you must find a nearby location in real life that is similar to the setting shown in the photo. With a camera (it’ll help to have someone take the picture of you), have your picture taken that mimics the setting. IMPORTANT – Make sure you hold up your hand and give a “thumbs up” so we know it’s actually you in the picture or else your entry will not count.
 
3. Retweet the daily tweet with a link to your picture, write your character’s name & server, and include the following hash tags – #allods, #Doublinpio
 
4. Each photo of a particular setting will be judged against other photos of that same setting. For example, a picture of you in a park will be judged against other pictures of players in a park. This setup makes it fair for those who are not capable of taking pictures at each of the 5 locations.
 
5. You have throughout Sunday, April 21st to retweet any of your entries. One retweet per each / any of the 5 picture entries. Winners will be announced on Monday, April 22nd.
 
Prizes:
Of all the copycat entries, I will choose my favorite picture from each of the 5 types of photos that I have shown, and award the owner of the picture with 1,500 Premium Crystals!
 

Have fun doublin’ PioPico and enjoy pictures of PioPico around Dublin, Ireland!

 
Remember, you can only participate in this event if you follow our Allods Online Twitter. If you have not joined the Allods Online Twitter yet, now is the time!
