A Place to Call Home



[h2]It’s Time to B.U.I.L.D.![/h2]
Exciting news! Housing is making its grand entrance into Adventure Quest 3D this week! Make your way to the Battleon Trade District and have a chat with the B.U.I.L.D. Foreman, Brigitte. She’ll set you on an introductory quest that culminates in you acquiring your very own house! What does this mean for you? Well, as the valiant hero of Lore, you now have a cozy abode to call your own. But wait, there’s more! As a player, this feature grants you the power to customize a delightful slice of Lore. So go forth, decorate, and make your mark on the world!

[h2]How does it work?[/h2]
Once you’ve unlocked your first house, accessing it is a breeze. Simply locate the new housing button in the menu. From there, click on the inviting door icon, and presto! You’ll step into your very own abode. Now that you’re inside your house, it’s time to personalize it with housing items you’ve collected. Don’t fret—you’ll start with a few essential items. Not only can you place these items, but you can also rotate them, adjust their size, and rearrange them to your heart’s content. Here’s the exciting part: objects within your house have collision, which means you can create mini parkour areas or arrange furniture strategically. But how do you acquire new items? I’m glad you asked! Head over to the B.U.I.L.D. Depot in the Battleon Trade District. There, you can purchase housing items using gold from the Basic House Items shop or trade in Wood Planks and Building Bricks at the B.U.I.L.D. House Items shop. And that’s not all! Niall has a Special Furniture Collections button, featuring Legion-themed house items. Some of these treasures require gold, while others demand Dragon Crystals. Now, let’s talk about collections. Instead of buying an entire collection as individual items, you can use the new “Purchase Now” button. Why is this beneficial? Imagine you want multiple copies of a chair from a collection. If you own the collection, you can snag as many chairs as you’d like without any extra cost. So unleash your creativity—build that tower of chairs and tables. That's just the beginning, however. As time goes on we will expand on features and ways to obtain new housing items via quests and drops... In fact, for those who have completed a wing in the Battleon Museum, you'll be able to talk to Danicka Rose to collect a banner for each wing you've filled up with moments!

[h2]Museum Update[/h2]
We’ve taken note of the valuable feedback regarding the Battleon Museum. As a result, we’ve adjusted the number of moments needed to create displays across most zones in this initial wave. Additionally, thanks to bug reports from players, we’ve addressed issues where certain monsters were not dropping moments. Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

[h2]The Return of the Clover Crusaders[/h2]
The Clover Crusaders have returned to Lore and are seeking to test their mettle against only the strongest heroes Lore has to offer! You’ll find these emerald-clad knights wandering various zones throughout the game world. Just like last time they drop Clover Leaves which you can trade in at the Battleon Social District for Lucky Day rewards. While you’re there, why not do battle against returning Lucky Day bosses including King Sneed the Clover Conqueror who has a chance to drop a special green variant of the cardboard crown called the Crown of the Clover Conqueror.

[h2]Prosperity’s Plunder[/h2]
Are you feeling lucky? Try your chances at obtaining this drop off the Clover Crusaders! We don’t normally share drop rates but this is a special occasion. It’s… 7.77%. Happy hunting!

[h2]Lost in the Mail[/h2]
Earlier this week we sent mail out to players containing a promo item. However, there was an issue where some people didn't receive the mail... we think this might have to do with mail privacy issues. Now, we don't want anyone missing out on this promo item – so we placed the item in a promo shop in the Shops menu. This item is limited time and will be available from now until September 4th.

[h2]Get Legion Wings for a limited time[/h2]
The Wings of the Astral Veil are now available for a limited time only. To get these amazing items, you need to purchase any package in the upgrade shop, now with 50% extra Dragon Crystals on select packages. For those that get one of the Guardian upgrade packages, you will also get the Spectral Wings of the Astral Veil, a ghostly variant that is only for Guardians!

[h2]New Contest: Design a Poster for Burger Hero[/h2]
Calling all aspiring artists and seasoned fry cooks worldwide: we invite you to design a poster for Burger Hero! We know it’s a dream come true for many a hero who wishes to have their art immortalized in digital fast food restaurants, and now is your chance!

Read the juicy contest details here.

Battle on!

That Belongs in a Museum!

That’s right! The long-awaited Battleon Museum is opening up to everyone in this week's historic release of Adventure Quest 3D. Head on over to the Scholar District of Battleon and lend a hand to the chronomancer-turned-curator Danicka Rose by helping her fill out the museum’s displays with creatures big and small that you’ve encountered on your many adventures through Lore.

[h2]Danicka Needs Your Help[/h2]
While Danicka has grand ambitions to fill the museum with anything and everything of notability that Lore has to offer, she currently has… nothing. That’s where you come in! Talk to Danicka in the museum lobby to begin an introduction quest line that will get you started and have you collecting “Moments” which will be required to create your very first display.

[h2]What’s a Moment?[/h2]
You might be asking, “What’s a Moment?” Well, I’m so glad you asked. Moments are a new type of item being added to Adventure Quest 3D this week. They drop off enemies that you’re able to make museum displays of. What’s unique about Moment in comparison to previous item types currently in the game is that Moments are automatically looted and added to the token section of your inventory and don’t take up any bag space. Once you’ve collected enough Moments, don’t forget to head back to the Museum to create a display! (And earn a nice chunk of XP… and maybe a title for completing an exhibit!)

[h2]A New Layer of Gameplay[/h2]
The Museum is intended as our take on a bestiary or monster log and as such will be updated over time to cover monsters across the whole game world. With that in mind, it’s important to state you probably shouldn’t expect to knock this out in a weekend! The museum is meant to be played at your own pace and is more of a complementary layer over existing gameplay.

[h2]The Mythical Blue Cloak[/h2]
Are you in search of a new fashion piece? The pinnacle of your rare item collection? Just want a cool-looking blue cape CLOAK? Well, if that’s the case head on over to Battleon, and standing just outside Yulgar’s Inn you’ll find Clarion Dawnforger, speak to him and craft your very own best-in-slot cosmetic back item today! (At just the low cost of 5 Blue Capes, what a steal!)

[h2]Tune in to the Adventure Quest 3D Dev Stream[/h2]
Ready yourselves, fellow heroes of Lore! For the last few weeks, I’ve been streaming on the Artix Entertainment Twitch Channel. Can you imagine it? Me and my trusty feline sidekicks adventuring and even sometimes questing across the third dimension every weekday at 6 PM EDT. Whether you are a veteran guardian of Lore or a plucky young squire just learning how to whirlwind pull up a seat and join in on the adventure!


[h2]The 2024 Dage Collection[/h2]
Last week we released the 2024 Dage Collection featuring a personal favorite design of mine, the Legion Necromancer. That collection is still available for purchase so if you like Dage’s Legion swing on by to Battleon and talk to the Legion Necromancer to have a look at the collection!

[h2]Get Legion Wings for a limited time[/h2]
The Wings of the Astral Veil are now available for a limited time only. To get these amazing items, you need to purchase any package in the upgrade shop, now with 50% extra Dragon Crystals on select packages. For those that get one of the Guardian upgrade packages, you will also get the Spectral Wings of the Astral Veil, a ghostly variant that is only for Guardians!

[h2]Snap Sinister Screenshots[/h2]
Calling all Undead Legion minions: join us in celebrating Dage the Evil's birthday in our latest Screenshot Contest. Venture into the spookiest realms of Lore, capture the essence of the Dark Lord, and have a chance to win a prize... and maybe a shoutout from Dage himself! The contest ends this Sunday night. Read the full contest details here!

Battle on!
Clarion, Yergen, Oishii, Blaze, Broomtool, and the AdventureQuest 3D Team

P.S. HeroMart has a poster of Dage on his Throne available now. Skillfully crafted by Diozz, and ready to dominate your wall >:D

A Vampire Hunter Mystery!



[h2] Join us in-game and battle evil for honor, glory, and the ShadowSunder Blade.
[/h2]

Greetings, Hero! A new mission has emerged from the shadows, beckoning you to a tale of mystery and sorrow. In every main saga zone, a new NPC awaits with a shop filled with gear tailored to your level.


Additionally, we've supercharged the XP from questing in the early zones of the main story, and a week long  gold boost to boot! Let’s dive into the details!



[h2]A new Adventure/Quest: A Shadow of One's Self[/h2]

Embark on a poignant journey in "Shadow of One's Self." A woman’s lover has vanished into the night, leaving only silence and mystery in his wake. She needs your help to uncover the truth of his fate. Can you solve the mystery and bring her closure? During the Darkovia saga, seek out Altaria in Boog's Tavern to begin the quest.

You will be rewarded with...


Shadowsunder, a blade that gleams with the promise of resolve and strength.



[h2]This new adventure unlocks half way through the Darkovia Saga.[/h2]

You can play this new story adventure once you have completed the vampire & werewolf fueled Darkovia Saga. If you have not played through the Darkovia Saga yet, then prepare to step into the war between the Vampires and the Werewolves as both sides attempt to fulfill the prophecy of the Blood Moon. To begin or continue this level 18+ saga (That is level, not age.... although Safiria's dress really is something... the new quest is level 21. Which makes sense. It does start in a tavern after all.)  Open your adventure menu and go to Main Story and then Darkovia.



[h2]Get some gear… Justin Case[/h2]

Players with low level gear have been asking where to get better gear during the main story. Look no further than Justin Case. He is a NPC dedicated to making sure you’re well-equipped for the challenges ahead. Justin's shop offers level-appropriate gear to ease your journey through each of the main saga zones. He is located at the beginning of each of the main saga zones.



[h2]Main Story XP Increase[/h2]

We increased the XP for main story quests from Doomwood all the way to Ashfall, including dungeon side quests from Greenguard through Shadowskull Tower. These changes are designed to streamline your adventure, making it easier to progress through the main story uninterrupted.

[h2]Lunar New Year is Leaving[/h2]

The Lunar New Year celebration is drawing to a close, and with it the Lunar New Year shop is now closed, but not to fret, hero!  The Dragon Guardian shop will transition to its new home in the Guardian Tower on Guardian Fortes. Make sure to secure your dragon-themed items before the Year of the Dragon festivities conclude!



[h2]Dage Collection Coming Next Week![/h2]

Next week heralds the arrival of the Dage collection, complete with blue flames and skulls. The update will include gifting and a challenging level 45 boss fight. Prepare your gear and rally your allies; epic battles and legendary rewards await.

See you in game and…

Battle On!

The Tailor Scouts Meet the Fashion Police!



[h2]The Best in Fashion![/h2]
Join the Tailor Scouts on their mission to retrieve the coveted Mithril Shears. These shears are a magical item that will help Winnie make new, more powerful costumes, taking their style to the next level! However, an encounter with the Fashion Police pokes a hole in their plans and threatens an old friendship. Help the Tailor Scouts stop the Fashion Police and maybe even save an old friend in the process.

Note: You must complete the first quest, “Tailor Scouts” in order to begin this quest, “The Mithril Shears”.



[h2]Defeat the Fashion Police![/h2]
When you talk to Winnie in Battleon about The Mithril Shears, she informs you that Tailor Scout Melanie is taking longer than expected to retrieve the coveted magical Mithril Shears from Arcangrove. The mission is simple, find Melanie and help her bring home the shears. However, the Fashion Police show up just in time to snag the Mithril Shears before you can. Help Melanie and the other Tailor Scouts track down the Fashion Police and get back those shears for Winnie! On the way, you just might save an old friend from becoming a fashion victim herself.



[h2]Knowledge is Power![/h2]
Earn these Tailor Academy Uniforms and Shoes as you play! Later, you can craft the Fashion Police outfit as well (and additional Tailor Academy Uniforms), from Winnie’s Tailor Academy Uniforms shop when you complete the Mithril Shears quest.

[h2]AQ3D Soundtrack Update[/h2]
As of this release, all commercial music within AdventureQuest 3D (with the exception of some tracks provided by guest artists) has been removed from the game maps! Jongaar (with some help from Broomtool) has spent many months replacing the soundtracks in the main maps with his own custom music, and is continuing to work on replacing the music in the side story and event maps as well. This is a huge task and will take a long time to get every map filled with new soundtracks. However, this means that our content creators are now free to stream AQ3D with the sound on without fear of their stream being demonetised. So, if you happen to enter a map without a soundtrack playing in the background, that’s not a bug. New music is on the way!

[h2]Last Chance![/h2]
Carnaval has left the Social District until next year.
  • Lunar New Year event ends near the end of February.
  • Heroes Heart Day Collection and related content leaves around March 13th, 2024.

[h2]Thank you and… Next![/h2]
Next week is the last week of February, which means… Gold Boost! This will be quickly followed by the new March Promo Item, so head to the Upgrade Shop to grab your Crimson Moon Sword before it’s too late.

See you in game and… Battle On!
