Screenshot Saturday // Sandsea Edition

Show off your most practical (or best looking) armor for the heat of the SandSea in this week's return of #ScreenShotSaturday.



Use your creativity and be inspired by the most exotic locale of the Sandsea, then show off your favorite in-game screenshots for a chance to score one of five Emperor’s chests or the Grand Prize!



[h2]Prizes[/h2]
  • 1 Grand Prize winner will receive the 2021 Talk Like a Pirate’s Day Collector’s Chest.
  • 5 lucky screenshots will be chosen and awarded an Emperor's Chest in their inventory.




Winners' game names and screenshots will be shown below after the prizes are awarded.
**If you already have the collection, please let us know in your post if there is a TLAPD Collection from the previous years you would like instead.**

[h2]Above and Beyond[/h2]
As always, we reserve the right to award additional prizes to screenshot entries that go above and beyond.

[h2]How to Participate[/h2]
  1. Log on to AdventureQuest 3D and prove you’re prepared for the desert with a screenshot. There are many peddlers selling outfits suited to the Sand Sea in game, but we’d recommend heading to Bastion if you’re missing that last piece of gear that could help you handle the heat.
  2. Equip any SandSea set
  3. Take amazing screenshots (solo or with friends) and be creative!
  4. Drop your best ones into the Community Hub "Screenshots" tab with your in-game name by the end of Tuesday, September 28th, for a chance to win.
  5. Ensure Visibility is set to "Public" then click Save Artwork to Community Hub
  6. Remember to add your AQ3D character name to your post! (How would we know who to give prizes to otherwise?) You would not believe how many people missed out on prizes because they did not include their character name on an awesome screenshot.


Good luck everyone!

The Sandsea Saga finale is live!



[h2]The Sandsea Saga Finale[/h2]
Need a refresher on everything you've experienced in the Sandsea Saga until the finale? Watch this trailer!



[h2]The Keeper of Death awaits![/h2]
This week, it’s time to see where all the twists and turns of the labyrinthian Sandsea Saga have led to! The final chapter in the saga will see you venturing into the Keeper of Death Sanctuary to intervene in Lord Sekt’s attempt to wish for greater power! Will Skorpienne, the Keeper of Death and creator of the Lamp fulfill Lord Sekt’s wish or does she have other plans for the rapidly weakening Immortal Pharaoh of the Sandsea? And what surprises could the Voidrakar have in store? After all, Vane and his minions have been cooking up a devious plan regarding the Lamp…
What will occur in the finale? You’ll just have to play to find out!



[h2]Epic Final Battle[/h2]
The end of a saga also means an epic final battle! The line between friend and foe will be blurred when the fate of the entire Sandsea is at stake. Will you and your allies be able to topple a threat of the likes you have not yet seen!



[h2]Skorpienne’s Wardrobe[/h2]
We know many of you are excited to see the debut of Skorpienne, Keeper of Death. That’s why we went ahead and made her outfit available to you all! To craft her set visit Sekt in his Pyramid and he’ll send you on quests to gather the materials needed to craft Skorpienne’s Wardrobe from the repeatable boss fight. However, if repeat runs of this fight isn’t for you, we have made Skorpienne’s cosmetic set available to be bought for DC’s as well!



[h2]Zhoom’s Bow[/h2]
Early in the Sandsea Saga, Zhoom gave you his bow to allow you to proceed in your quest to find the magic lamp. Zhoom’s Ancestral Bow is famed for its quality, still able to make precise shots like no other. With high Attack and Haste stats, its wielder can quickly overwhelm any monster that crosses their path! Who knows? Perhaps it will find a new owner by the end of this tale…



[h2]New Titles and Special Reward[/h2]
Heroic efforts deserve equally heroic titles, right?! Show off your part in The Sandsea Saga and wear your titles with pride. You’ll receive the “Sandsea Protector” title upon completing the Saga.
Also, everyone’s favorite historian Nigel Fuzzybum has a special gift for those who have completed the Lost Sandsea Scrolls quest line: a Sandsea Scroll cosmetic weapon and the title “Dune Scroller”! Go see Nigel in Bastion and accept the quest called “A Token of Historical Appreciation” to receive your rewards.



[h2]Alpha Pirate Fiend JUST added to the collection![/h2]
Get the Alpha Pirate fiend armor set as pieces or a part of the 2021 Talk Like a Pirate Day collection. Woah, woah... wait. Did you already buy the collection? Then... congratulations, you already have it! You will find the entire set has already been added to your collection. This set is also a not-so-secret clue as to AdventureQuest 3D's upcoming new saga.



[h2]Coming soon to AQ3D![/h2]
With the end of The Sandsea Saga, many of you may be wondering what’s next. The answer to that is… Mogloween! Keep an eye out for the spooky Cauldron named Myx who will arrive in Battleon next week to welcome you to Mystcroft and with the previous Mogloween collections. The Social District will also see a change as the Red Dragon goes into hibernation while Taculous and the rest of the Taco Day party moves in.
Down the pipeline… PVP goes live! If you haven’t been part of the testing on PTR, read this post on how to join. Also more of Sandsea awaits. A challenge version of the Finale boss fight, new Best In Stat armor set with +20 infusion, and a legendary weapon will be coming soon!
After that… A new saga...

Battle on!

[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.

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!

[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!
 
Battle on!
