Hoist the sail, it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day!



[h2]What is Talk Like a Pirate Day?[/h2]
Shiver me timbers! This coming Sunday (September 19th) is the official International Talk Like a Pirate Day (Or "TLAPD" if ye be one'o dem abbrever-inating scallywags). It is a one-day holiday where we... well, me matey, the name pretty much sums it up. All day long, kindly be talking like Pirates! Created by John Baur & Mark Summers, we have been celebrating it every single year across our video games. An insider secret, our video games were the first to celebrate this holiday... and have done it every year since 2003 when Captain Rhubarb suddenly appeared in-game.

Th' collection be featurin’ two amazin' piratical sets crafted by our AQ3D artists, as well as a bony bird pet (Marrow), two extra fishin’ rods, and a travel form! Ye will also be obtainin' th' "Stranger Tides" title and badge with yer collection!
Ye can speak to Gunpowder Mary in Battleon (or Lolosia) to unlock this year's collection or grab some booty a'la carte from previous year's collections!

  • Cannoneer set
  • Shark Hunter Pirate set
  • Life at Sea Fishing Rod
  • Buried at Sea Fishing Rod
  • Badge and Title “Stranger Tides” (only with purchase of Collector’s Chest)


[h2]New quests? In Lolosia AND Yokai?![/h2]
That’s right! Go and talk to Requin (the crazy shark lady) to start the quest to find out what happened to the Dread Pirate Roberto. Speak to Blue Bart as well, and begin the hunt for the Cursed Fishing Rod, then try it out! We also added a new fishing location on one of the islands... just watch out for the walking shark… Finally, return to the mysterious island of Yokai and complete The Shiro Special to unlock Master Shiro’s Tsunamurai Shop.



[h2]Tsunamurai[/h2]
Reach deep into your centre of being and become one with the waves in the Tsunamurai set. Channel the powers of the ocean and show your foes a tsunami of blades! Consult with Master Shiro in The Shadow Of The Wind Village about the "Shiro Special" to start earning the Tsunamurai Set.



[h2]Dread Pirate Roberto[/h2]
The Dread Pirate Roberto was known as a dashing, fashionable rogue of a pirate, and while his manners are inimitable, you can at least dress like him! Talk to Requin to start unlocking the Dread Pirate Roberto’s Set now in the quest "Dreadful Pirate Tale"!



[h2]Coming soon to AQ3D![/h2]
Soon, the team will begin the endless chant of “PvP! PvP! PvP!”. PVP on the PTR will soon be open to PC and mobile players (previously just PC). Join the Community PTR Discord for updates.

Also… The epic conclusion to The Sandsea Saga! We hope you’re ready for the fight of your life...
 
Battle on!

Gunpowder Mary: Back with a BANG!



[h2]Avast! This week on AQ3D[/h2]
This week we’re swabbing the decks, hoisting the sails, and getting ready to fly the black flag, all in preparation for Talk Like a Pirate Day! Now that Pointe Less Isle is relatively shark free, Annette decided to head back to the beach. There also are two new item sets you’ll be able to find in treasure chests, and Gunpowder Mary is making her explosive return to Battleon! Read on to find out more...



[h2]Previous TLaPD sets![/h2]
Gunpowder Mary is back with a bang! Talk to her in Battleon to get previous Talk Like a Pirate Day collections, dare ye fly the black flag and wear the piratey sets?



[h2]Two new cosmetic sets![/h2]
Move with the shadows in the new Eclipse Assassin set, or hold the line with the Garnet Garrison set. You can obtain these new sets from treasure chests starting now!



[h2]Pointe Less Isle Shark Attack Ending[/h2]
Thanks to your efforts, the sharks are retreating from Pointe Less Isle. Annette is heading back to enjoy the shark free beach, but what will they plan next year?



[h2]Coming soon to AQ3D![/h2]
The team got together and decided the finale needs to be the best it can be, so we’re delaying it for a short while. We’re committed to quality, and hope you support us making this decision! After the epic conclusion of the Sandsea Saga, we’ll also be releasing new gear sets purchasable with Sandstorm Capstones (infuseable up to +20!), and another Challenge fight.
In the meantime... Talk Like a Pirate Day begins next week (around September 19th) with new quests and new rewards. And we’re finally ending the DC sale at Midnight on Tuesday the 14th (EST), so don’t miss out!

Now that’s how you get a-head!



[h2]A Head above the rest[/h2]
Get a-head with our new Kittarian (feline) and Zobekian (crocodile) head morphs added to AdventureQuest 3D. The Guardian Tower has also added a new armor set for the Mages in their ranks. And if you have caught up with the Sandsea Saga, you will recognize the oversized Djinn weapons Gaz is now selling for a limited time!



[h2]New Head Morphs[/h2]
Head on over to Mysterious Johnson’s House of Oddities, or Gaz’s Black Market near the gates of Battleon right meow and purr-haps get your paws on one of the new Kittarian Head Morphs, or if you feel like croc-ing out, there’s the new Zobekian Head Morph too!
  • White Fur Kittarian Head Morph
  • Tan Fur Kittarian Head Morph
  • Brown Fur Kittarian Head Morph
  • Brown Scute Zobekian Head Morph

If you’re lucky, you can also find the following Head Morphs in chests

[h2]Heads or Tails?[/h2]
But wait, there’s more! Each of the new Kittarian and Zobekian Head Morphs also includes a tail! As if you didn’t have enough reasons to go and get one now, right?

[h2]
Giant Djinn Weapons[/h2]
Gaz has somehow braved the Sandsea and convinced the great Khal-No’Bir to let him sell copies of the Djinn’s giant arsenal! Are you up to the challenge of wielding such massive weaponry?
  • Giant Djinn Sword
  • Giant Djinn Blaster
  • Giant Djinn Bow
  • Giant Djinn Hammer

Gaz will offer the Giant Djinn weapons for a limited time, but the weapons can be purchased from Khal-No’Bir, too, in the lobby of the Great Pyramid!


[h2]Guardian Mage set?![/h2]
That’s right, the Guardians Mage Battalion are searching for recruits who show a talent for magic (and not the kind involving bunnies or hats). Head to the Guardian Tower Shop, bring your Mage Class Tokens to prove your worth, and be granted the esteemed Guardian Mage Set.
  • Guardian Mage Armor
  • Guardian Mage Gloves
  • Guardian Mage Hood
  • Guardian Mage Shoulders


[h2]Next week on AdventureQuest3D![/h2]
Next week we return to Sandsea for the saga’s grand finale. After his ruthless betrayal, will Lord Sekt succeed in getting his wish granted? What awaits you in the Keeper of Death’s Ethereal Pyramid?

Battle on!

P.S. The Summer War event will be ending next week, and Annette will be taking a break from Battleon to make room for the annual #TLAPD event. Get your Summer gear while you can!

The Djinn's Challenge: The Labyrinth of Persistence



[h2]The Djinn’s Challenge[/h2]
Khal-No’Bir has some new tricks up his sleeve in his new challenges, such as teleporting you out of his room, clouds of death throughout his labyrinth, and a timer that’s slowly ticking down to… Probably certain doom. Win the challenge, and you will be rewarded with Djinn Challenge Treasure! Khal-No’Bir also has a chance to drop some Epic new loot, such as Khal-No’Bir’s Crowned Turban and some Menacing Djinn weapons...



[h2]Gauntlet Match Challenge[/h2]
Winning one battle can be a matter of luck, but can you handle successive victories in a day? Defeat Khal-No’Bir twice in a normal fight, and twice in the challenge fight, and you’ll be richly rewarded!



[h2]“Clear the Labyrinth of Persistence”[/h2]
Khal-No’Bir has another quest for you… and this one you can repeat as many times as you please! Try to clear out his army of Spectral Mummies and Mummy Guards on your way to fight him in his Labyrinth, and earn Djinn Essence, gold, and valuable experience!



[h2]The Challenge[/h2]
You’ve faced him once, but not at full power! Find your way through the twists and turns of The Labyrinth of Persistence, activate the crystals, and face the wrath of the Djinn once more. Watch out for his variety of Area of Effect attacks that deal massive damage, don’t stumble into the clouds of death throughout the labyrinth, and be ready for him to teleport you away. Make sure you stock up on potions, and don’t forget to dodge!

Joined an instance with just a few people? We’ve got some tips for How to Survive Khal-No’Bir:
  • Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
  • Dodge the AOEs
  • Bring some potions
  • Don’t dally in the dungeon! Move quickly and get back to the fight.
  • Watch out for the death clouds in the labyrinth.


[h2]New drops and crafting[/h2]
Defeat Khal-No’Bir in his NEW challenge to accrue Solar Djinn Stones. Use these to upgrade the Sun Keeper armor set you’ve spent the whole saga collecting into the new Fallen Sun Keeper set. However, you can only earn the accompanying sword from the Djinn Challenge. Each set piece features a +15 Infusion cap, putting this set on par with the Void Sharken set. And just in time for the Sandsea finale next month…

A suit of armor modeled after the one worn by Sairus, Sandsea’s fabled Keeper of the Sun. The Fallen color scheme symbolizes the Keeper’s fall from grace during her last days in Sandsea…

[h3]“Fallen Sun Keeper” Crafting Items[/h3]
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Armor
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Belt
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Boots
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Cloak
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Gloves
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Helm
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Pauldrons

Upgrade your Mystical Djinn armor set to the new Menacing Djinn set. This set is red to match the menace of Khal-No’Bir in this challenge. The new menacing weapons are spectral in form and are rarely bestowed by the Djinn himself to those who earn it in combat.

[h3]“Djinn Crafting” Items[/h3]
  • Menacing Djinn Robes
  • Menacing Djinn Belt
  • Menacing Djinn Boots
  • Menacing Djinn Gauntlets
  • Menacing Djinn Shoulders

[h3]New item drops[/h3]
  • Menacing Djinn Bow
  • Menacing Djinn Blaster
  • Menacing Djinn Hammer
  • Menacing Djinn Sword
  • Fallen Sun Keeper Sword

See you in halls of the Labyrinth!

Battle on!
