Frostval: Gift’thulu Rises


[h2]The Call of Gift’thulu[/h2]
[h3]"Iä! Iä! Gift’thulu fhtagn!"[/h3]

Deep beneath the snow covered fields, The Great Gifting One slumbers, dreaming up new gifts, and awaiting the fated days of Frostval where it can return once more to the worlds above to give presents to those who prove they are worthy…

The Gifting Shrub in Yulgar’s Inn has obtained the runes required to summon Gift’thulu, so go and talk to it!



New Gift’thulu rewards:
  • Polar Ninja Armor Set
  • Frosty Katana
  • Ice Kunai


Spirits of Frostval pets are also making an appearance!
  • Spirit of Giving pet
  • Spirit of Taking pet
  • Spirit of Caring pet (Guardian Only)

[h2]Gift’thulu leaderboard?![/h2]
We were inspired by the way the community took initiative last year… and all year with other spawnables… to make sure everyone was able to participate and receive gifts. We want those who spread the most cheer to be recognized, so we made the Gifting Rune leaderboard! Players whose Gift'thulus share gifts to the most players will rise up the leaderboard. Don’t have enough DCs to buy a Gifting Rune? We added some in the Daily Chests so everyone has a chance to get at least one Rune for free during Frostval.

Be aware though, only regular Gifting Runes count towards your total, and only the top 100 will be displayed! If you aren’t in the top 100, you will always be displayed as 101, even though you may be lower than that. The Giving Shrub will fix this soon!
[h2]A new Daily Quest for Guardians![/h2]
Visit the Guardian Tower for a new daily to receive a free Guardian Gifting Rune!



[h2]New PvP map[/h2]
That’s right! There’s nothing quite like a good old fashioned Battle Feast to get the holiday spirit going. Enter the Battle Feast map and re-enact your favorite holiday dinners, as you slash, bash, and smash your opponents! You will have a random chance to enter either Battle Feast or the original map, Battle Falls, with each match.
Of course with a new PvP map comes…



[h2]PvP Rewards![/h2]
A new PvP Reward set has made an appearance, alongside new seasonal rewards you can now earn!



  • Blue Glow Armor Set
  • Icy Jinbaori
  • Frostval Jinbaori
  • Frosty Sai

[h2]PvP patch[/h2]
We’ve listened to your feedback and made some changes to PvP balancing!

[h2]New "Dansen" emote![/h2]
By player request, we added the Dansen emote! Now you too can do the popular internet dance-- from, LOL, a decade ago XD
[h2]A bug for Android users?![/h2]
Right now there is a bug affecting Android users only, which means we've had to temporarily disable watching ads for DC's. Don't worry though, we're working on a fix!

[h2]The name’s Bons… Bons-Eye.[/h2]
"I see you found my undercover stakeout location here in the tavern… Since you show such a talent for finding things that don’t want to be found, maybe you could find my “License to Kale”? I’ve a feeling that dastardly Harbusher may have found it, so perhaps you could check there? You’ll be rewarded handsomely of course…"

Darkon's Birthday Shop returns!



[h2]Darkon is back in Battleon to celebrate his birthday with horrifying new items![/h2]
Darkon is in town right now, relaxing on Battleon Bridge. He is selling off his collection, claiming that he has "too much of them." We aren’t sure why he calls his items "debris", but if you ask me, there’s something strange and sinister about ALL of them. You can buy these items from his birthday shop. You will also find Creatures 72 and 72.b in there. Trust them completely. And don't forget to wish Darkon a happy birthday!



[h2]Darkon's Creatures & Debris[/h2]
  • Darkon’s Debris 11 (Spear)
  • Darkon’s Debris 25 (Big choppy sword)
  • Darkon’s Debris 31 (Big pointy sword)
  • Debris Halo 31 (Spiky and floaty)
  • Debris Halo 64 (Also spiky and floaty but red)
  • Creature 83 Hat (We remember saying to not do this)
  • Creature 72 Pet & Travel Form (Adorable)
  • Creature 72.b Pet and Travel Form (Adorable in it’s own special way)


[h2]Creature 72 and 72.b[/h2]
While it’s brother is twisted and terrifying, Creature 72.b will float around and keep you company, and definitely doesn’t need to be watched at all times!
Believe it or not, Creature 72 only has your best interests at heart!



[h2]The Frost Summoner Cometh![/h2]
Frostval Siege is now working as it’s supposed to. With the war meter fixed, you are guaranteed a confrontation with the boss... as long as you survive the waves long enough to meet him. And in the great deserts of the Sandsea, the mighty djinn Khal-No’Bir has decided to take his Magic Arrow skills down a peg for the brave adventurers who dare to face his might.

[h2]Things leaving AQ3D, for now...[/h2]
Blaze’s Birthday Bonfire is now over, as he takes his leave from Battleon Social District! It won’t be empty for long though, watch out for something different next week!
See you in Frostval.
Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team

Frostval Returns!


[h2]It's that time of year again. It's Frostval![/h2]
[h3]Frostval is that special time of year when heroes and moglins gather 'round the Frostval tree... and fight Yettun in their caves![/h3]
The joy and relief of heroes protecting Frost Moglins from being eaten by Yettuns is the true meaning of Frostval. Not to be confused with Frostvale, which is the wintery land that is also plagued by snow and ice creatures of all types, and Frostlorn and friends in the castle.



[h2]Battleon is being decorated for the holidays![/h2]
The festive mood is overtaking Battleon. The citizens of Battleon have equipped their winter best as the weather turns to frost and snow begins to pile up near the travel portal. Yulgar and his regulars at the inn are excited to celebrate Frostval, so they’ve decorated the area and started wearing their most thematic Frostval outfits!

[h2]Things leaving AQ3D, for now...[/h2]
Now that Summer is long past, Dottie has returned to Camp Gonnagetcha to make repairs after all the fun and games! Hooper and his Grenwog shops and drops are taking a little break to make room for other things!



[h2]Feast your eyes on this![/h2]
The Battle Arena is also getting a festive makeover for Frostval. Illuminated trees surrounded by gifts, wreaths adorning the borders, and fluffy white snow flurries. These are a few of the festive aesthetic changes made to the Battle Arena map.
This weekend, join the PTR to enter a new PvP map: Battle Feast. This Map takes place in a Grand Feast Hall. Delicious foods with various effects are present and the bounty zones are locked until notified. Gather food to obtain the advantage and claim the feast for your whole team!



[h2]Cyber week![/h2]
We don’t just do Cyber Monday around here (as if you didn’t know that), so Cyber Week sets are still available! Get your futuristic cyberrific cosmetics while you still can!



[h2]ElectroMage Horns[/h2]

In a “shocking” move, our Community Manager, Rellik, managed to snag a very special pair of horns from the ElectroMage set, and wandered off mumbling something about “community freebies”. We weren’t quite sure what he was on about, but you convinced him to give them to everyone for free! Follow him on Twitter to help unlock other future rewards!



See you in Frostval.
Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team
