Beleen Brings Back the Cursed 20th Anniversary of Doom!

[h2]Back from the Dead[/h2]
Relive the Cursed 20th Anniversary of Doom event with all new host Beleen, the Pretty Pinkomancer. Play through this event in the style of a B-Horror movie marathon with six frighteningly terrible games. Or are they so awful they’re good? You decide!



[h2]What is this event?[/h2]
You must be new to our game. Welcome!

The event celebrates the 20th anniversary of Artix Entertainment creating games… with a few adjustments from its original run in 2022. It is now hosted by Beleen, the Pretty Pinkomancer, and features voice acting, music, and cameos from returning guests George Lowe, Aurelio Voltaire, and Kimberly Freeman. You're the guest of honor in this special event and it is now permanent content. So grab your sword, dust off your spell book and head to Yulgar’s Inn to start the adventure…

If you would like information about the original event, click to read this post.



[h2]Who is Beleen?[/h2]
Beleen is the perky, pink-loving punsmith who joined the team as one of the main writers for AdventureQuest Worlds during the first part of the Chaos Lord Saga, then flooded our marketing and community management teams with her positivity and puns. Recently, she's returned to work on several in-game events with the teams... including the script for this event! That's why it made sense to have her take over as the host for the event’s revival, and finally bring Beleen into 3D.



[h2]Look Who’s Back![/h2]
While we had to say goodbye to some of the special guests in the original event, a few friends decided to stick around. Boy are we lucky to have them.

Aurelio Voltaire
You’ll find him inside of Scarbucks, playing guitar for the locals. When you finish the Scarbucks game, you’ll unlock the dance party where you can listen to a track from Aurelio Voltaire’s latest album “The Black Labyrinth - A Requiem for the Goblin King”.

The A.I. formerly known as Kimberly Freeman
Veterans of our games may not recognize her in this event. She has taken the form of your good pal and robot A.I. known as KIMBr:L3 in Derpicorn Apocalypse. Turn up your volume to hear a song from her band Audio Rate FM play in the background.

George Lowe
There’s no better way to pass the time in AFK: The Game than with quips of George Lowe cheering (or jeering?) you in the background and rewarding you with a shop full of prizes for your time well spent.



[h2]Your 20th Anniversary Trove[/h2]
It’s time to complete your trove quest! While we did remove the ability to obtain any of the items in the original event with “20th Anniversary” in the title, we made an exception for those who already started their 20th Anniversary Trove. It took a lot of brainstorming and fine-tuning, but as long as you already started the trove during the original release in 2022, you can still obtain these items to turn in for your trove. You will have to be on the quest to turn in that item in order to unlock the item in a shop and/or for it to drop from a monster in the appropriate map. So go forth and complete your 20th Anniversary Trove!



[h2]What’s New in this Event?[/h2]
We wanted to reward the players who went above and beyond during the original release. Those who achieved the highest ranks possible in any of our B-Horror adventures and earned Legendary items. So, we made a few adjustments to honor those achievements in this permanent version of the event.

Main Story Line:
  • Bean Twilly Pet is a Legacy item.


Ring of Doom:
  • Daily quest reward increased 100 medals
  • "Lord of the Ring of Doom" badge/title is Legacy and replaced with "King of the Ring of Doom" - Legendary "Ring of Doom Champ Belt" is Legacy and replaced with Epic "Ring of Doom Grand-Champ Belt" with higher requirement


Zom-bae:
  • Legendary "Axe of 1000 Corpses" is Legacy and replaced with Epic "Axe of 999 Corpses"


8-Bit Battleon:
  • Legendary "Pixel Blade of Awe" is Legacy and renamed “Classic Pixel Blade of Awe”. It has been replaced with Epic "Pixel Blade of Awe"


AFK:
  • "AFK Legend" badge/title is Legacy and replaced with "AFK Eternal"

Celebrate 2023: Year of the Rabbit

[h2]Happy Lunar New Year![/h2]
This year’s lunar zodiac animal is the Rabbit. In Chinese culture, rabbits symbolize the moon because the shadows of the moon resemble a rabbit. Our team has created several items with these themes in mind.

Read on to find out what they are and where to get them…
 


[h2]Saber’s Lunar New Year Shops[/h2]
[h3]Lunar New Year Shop[/h3]

  • Rabbit Cheongsam [armor]

  • The Hare's Auspicious Blade [weapon]

  • The Hare’s Charm [use to get “Lucky Rabbit’s Foot” title]

 
[h2]Lucky Envelope Daily[/h2]
Turn in 5 Moonlight Biscuits for a Lucky Envelope and some Firecrackers! This is based on the real life tradition of giving red envelopes during the Lunar New Year celebrations which symbolize good wishes and luck for the future. Red envelopes usually contain money, so these Lucky Envelopes can be sold for 5000 gold.
 


[h2]Strange Happenings in Darkovia[/h2]
Strange visitors are drawn to Darkovia’s Forest this Lunar New Year. Keep an eye out for anything strange and report back to Saber with your findings.



[h2]Horn of Hype Hotfix[/h2]
The Horn of Hype had an issue where Party Blaze could be Stunned and Silenced making him unable to spawn anything. The hotfix went out on the same day, however, those who purchased the Horn of Hype before the fix have been reimbursed with a new Horn of Hype in their inventory. Blaze on!

Blaze's Bonfire Returns!

[h2]Who is Blaze?[/h2]


"A long time ago the raw element of fire was threatening to consume the world in flames. Blaze sacrificed his body to control the flame, imbuing him with the power to control fire, ensuring it does not consume the world. The flame slowly burns away at his body and when he uses his power, there are severe consequences. He wants to be a light to the world, but the brighter he burns, the shorter his wick."

Blaze in real life is a programmer and game designer for AdventureQuest 3D. His passion is in class design and enhancing the social aspects of our game.



[h2]Battleon is a Bonfire[/h2]
There is a Blaze in the Social District. Actually, there are FOUR different forms of Blaze to fight. As usual, talk to Rose to earn Social Flyers for Social Event Prizes. Plus, Blaze has a Daily quest “Illuminate the Shadow” which gives 100 BlazeCoins for completing it. You may also get lucky and receive the rare Chibi Blaze Pet as a drop.



In Battleon, Blaze has shops full of goodies to buy. The BlazeCoin Gift Shop has lots of hot weapons and armor sets, including 1 new armor set and 4 new weapons. You can also get BlazeCoins by defeating Gifting Inferno and Gifting Fire.

Blaze’s Birthday Shop has all of the same things as the Gift Shop but with a few extras, and everything here costs DragonCrystals. The Birthday Shop exclusive items are the Summoning items:
  • Horn of Hype (NEW! Summons “Party Blaze”)
  • Fire Starter (Summons “Gifting Fire”)
  • Wide Blaze’s Calling Card (Summons “Wide Blaze”)




[h2]Horn of Hype[/h2]
The latest of Blaze’s summoning items. Use the Horn of Hype, Fire Starter, and Wide Blaze Calling Card to summon an enemy for your fellow players to fight.

Use the Horn of Hype to summon a Party Blaze which, itself, summons up to 6 Firestarters, or something even more special. While Party Blaze is invincible, all spawns killed do drop loot. Party Blaze despawns after he has reached his summoning maximum.

For more detailed information on the Bonfire, read this post from the first Blaze’s Bonfire event.



[h2]Anime Opening Video Contest[/h2]
Make an anime opening video using the Tailor Scouts theme song for the chance to win one of 3 Emperor's Chests and a badge! Or make a digital Tailor Scouts poster for the chance to win one of 5 Warlord's Chests. Submissions accepted until February 8th.

See the full post for details.

1.94.3 Hotfix Notes

- Updated app icon and loading screens
- Various other minor fixes

Winnie's Tailor Scout Adventure!

Battleon’s Seamstress Extraordinaire has magical new clients… the Tailor Scouts! These powerful mages have an epic battle waiting for them on the moon; but, first, they need some improvements. Help Winnie gather the best materials to get the Scouts battle ready.

[h2]Winnie’s Magical Clients[/h2]
The Tailor Scouts have come to Battleon’s best tailor, Winnie, for new combat outfits. They are preparing for an epic fight and their current clothes are a bit battle worn. However, time is running out and Winnie is still short on materials. It’s all hands on deck. Will you help the Tailor Scouts gather the rest of the materials they need?
[h2]


The Epic Battle![/h2]
There’s nothing wrong with a little extra help. At least, that’s what Winnie thinks. You’ve proven yourself very capable, so she’d like you to join the Tailor Scouts in their big fight. They are going to eradicate the Xenoscythe invasion on the Moon.

Plus, Jongaar wrote an anime-inspired soundtrack just for this release.
 


Winnie herself drew this recreation of the Tailor Scouts.
 


[h2]Tailor Scout Gear[/h2]
You’re an honorary Tailor Scout, thanks to all of your help! Collect the Glitter that appears when you defeat a Xenoscythe enemy and bring it back to Tailor Scout Melanie. With enough, you can get a full Tailor Scout outfit and a matching Sword or Wand, or both!



[h2]Blaze a Trail of Friendship[/h2]
For a handful of DragonCrystals, you can have a magical travel trail in one of the colors of the Tailor Scouts, or even a rainbow trail with the most powerful magic of all: Friendship.

Which color will you choose?
  • Emerald
  • Tourmaline
  • Ruby
  • Sapphire
  • Topaz
  • Friendship (Rainbow)


[h2]Dragon Crystal Bonus Extended![/h2]
We don’t want the Bonus to end… There’s no such thing as too much of a good thing, right? Get 50% extra DragonCrystals with your purchase from the Upgrade Shop while the bonus is on!
