Blimey! Cap’n Grogget, the ringleader of the Shulack Pirates, returns in Aion. This infamous captain of the Steel Rake ship seeks retribution against the Daevas! He's got Shugos locked up in the Steel Rake Fortress, and it’s on you to liberate them. But tread cautiously: only the bravest will stand a chance in this quest.
The treasures awaiting you are well worth the peril, featuring the [Event] Ultimate Extreme Enchantment Stone Bundle, [Rune] Special Transformation Contract: Little Lamb Hanbok (70 types), Pirate Captain’s Clothes, and more exciting surprises!
Running: 30th July (9 AM) to 27th August (8:59 AM CEST)
Entering the instance
Level 80 adventurers can brave the Steel Rake Fortress solo instance once each day per character. Speak with Wasseronerk at the Inggison Fortress or Hatanerk at the Gelkmaros Fortress to gain entry. Daily resets occur at 9:00 AM (CEST).
Steel Rake Fortress
Earn keys by storming the fortress and achieving objectives. The more successful you are in these endeavors, the more keys you'll obtain, leading to greater rewards:
- Navigate your way into the fortress via a cool Jet Ski – it's the ultimate ride!
- Rescue the Shugos from villainous bosses. Each Shugo freed grants one treasure chest key from Cap’n Grogget.
- Defeat Grogget to access a secluded island where you can open treasure chests to receive the [Event] Freeze Frame.
Sales NPCs
