Arion Coin economy: 1 Arion Coin is now worth 100 Cash Points

A hunt contract or hunt mission pays 8 Hunting Coins at Lv1-49, 16 at Lv50-99, 55 at Lv100-149, 70 at Lv150-199, 80 at Lv200-249 and 90 at Lv250+. A bounty pays twice that, a hard bounty three times. Delivery and collection missions now pay EXP only. New hunt tiers start at Lv180, Lv215 and Lv240 with their own targets.

Each account earns at most 15 Arion Coins a week (15,000 Hunting Coins) from play, 7 of them from the Hunting Hall. Three rewards come on top of that limit: the castle tribute, Invite a Friend and the Discord link. Characters under Base 100 share 2 a week per account. The week resets Monday at 00:00 server time (CET/CEST).

Hunting Coins start once your account has a character at Base 100 or 20 h of active play. Until then the game tells you how many hours you have so far.

Achievements, the Veil Chronicle and Veil Echoes pay their Hunting Coins once per account; titles and items stay per character. Hunting season and the Hunt List count per account. The Chronicle and Echoes ores and berries and the three Christmas costumes are now bound to the account. Votes give Vote Points for goods only, no Hunting Coins.

Invite a Friend gives 10 Arion Coins to you and 10 to your friend once your friend reaches Base 99 with 20 h of play (counted from launch, 1 February 2027) and a GM has checked the invite. Linking your Discord account gives 1 Arion Coin, once per account. Both are paid only to a Base 100+ character of your account; until you have one, the coins wait for you. They don't count toward the 15 a week.

Prices follow the Cash Shop at 1 Arion Coin = 100 Cash Points: Enriched Elunium or Oridecon 3, HD Elunium or Oridecon 5, HD Carnium or Bradium 10, Blacksmith Blessing 20, +7 refine ticket 13, +9 refine ticket 30. Boxes of 10 ores cost 24 (Enriched Elunium or Oridecon), 40 (HD Elunium or Oridecon) and 80 (HD Carnium or Bradium). Blacksmith Blessing: 2 a week here and 2 a week in the Cash Shop.

New prices: every item costs at least 3 Arion Coins, 2 more with a card slot, and slotted mid headgear 4 more. Headgear is split into Top, Mid and Lower tabs. Items from this shop can't be sold to NPCs.

1 Arion Coin is worth 100 Cash Points. That is why the coins you hold are divided by 10 (rounded up) and every Arion Coin price below is new. You still mint 1 Arion Coin from 1,000 Hunting Coins at the Coin Exchange.

More EXP to level at Lv1-25 (1.5x), Lv26-50 (2x), Lv51-98 (2.5x), Lv99-125 (1.25x) and Lv126-150 (1.1x). Lv200-225 needs 3.2x what it needed before; Lv251-274 needs about 1/8. Job EXP is unchanged.

The Healer now offers two heals: Heal (HP) for 4 zeny x your base level, at least 50, and Heal + SP for 10 zeny x your base level, at least 120. At base level 100 that is 400 or 1,000 zeny. Blessing and Increase AGI (level 10, 4 minutes) cost 2,000 zeny, offered after each heal or on their own from the same menu. Premium pays half for heals and buffs (before, Premium got the buffs free). The 10-second wait between visits stays.

Hunting Coins now also come from: MVP kills (Base 100+; 300 for an MVP under Lv150, 1,000 from Lv150; the killer and the party members in the fight), EDDA Somatology (300 a clear, Base 170+), Airship Destruction and Bagot Laboratory (300 for the first clear of the day per account, Base 200+) and War of Emperium (1,000 for 30 active minutes on castle maps in a week, Base 150+). The guild that holds a castle at the end of the week's first WoE slot gets 10 Arion Coins by mail to its master. 12-man weekly clears pay 300 Hunting Coins at Lv1-99, 1,000 at Lv100-150, 1,500 at Lv151-200 and 2,000 from Lv201. Sanctum and Trial pay 150 for the first clear of the day per account (Base 100+), Mythic 300 (Base 200+). The world boss pays 300 for a win and 150 for an escape to Base 100+ characters. The attendance calendar pays 1,000 on days 7, 14, 21 and 28 to accounts with 5 h of play in the week.

The Arion Coin Shop has a new Premium tab, open every week: a 30-day Premium Box for 10 Arion Coins and a 90-day box for 25. The Cash Shop keeps selling them for Cash Points (999 and 2,499). Gear that the Cash Shop also sells costs its Cash Shop price divided by 100 in the Arion Coin Shop, rounded up (Kirin Horn: 990 Cash Points or 10 Arion Coins). The Cash Shop's refine items cost the Refine Supplier's price x 100 Cash Points: Enriched ores 300, HD Elunium or Oridecon 500, HD Carnium or Bradium 1,000, Blacksmith Blessing 2,000, +7 ticket 1,300, +9 ticket 3,000.

54 Cash Shop looks are now also in a new Looks tab of the Arion Coin Shop, every week: 23 looks for 5 Arion Coins (499 Cash Points in the Cash Shop) and 31 for 6 (599 Cash Points). The other 27 looks, all back items and effect looks among them, stay Cash Points only.
