AdventureQuest 3D News

The newest version of AdventureQuest 3D just dropped, and with it... a preview of the magical forest of Arcangrove. Login and explore new areas filled with unicorns, bird-people, and magical treasures.


Use the travel crystal to get to Arcangrove. Upon entering the magical forest, you will meet Rayst. He is an Elder Evoker. In case you were wondering, his title of Elder Evoker means that he is of the 1st rank of Magi who are allowed access to the Restricted section of the Tower of Magic. When you talk to him, he will give quests to earn pieces of his set.


Coming with the release of the full Arcangrove Saga... you will enter the Tower of Magic. This week, you can speak to the Sentinels who guard it. They will give you quests to earn Crescent Wolf Armor.



The forest of Arcangrove is stalked by arcanwolves. But there is ONE monsterous wolf, that is larger than them all. It is the Crescent Wolf. It is a more powerful wolf inbued with the power of the blue moon. When a cresent wolf falls in battle, a new arcanwolf is chosen to ascend. At this point it receives its crescent blades which it weilds from its mouth. Because... it's a wolf. No hands. We checked. You may have seen Craft the full set by doing the quests from the Sentinels who guard the tower.


It's real! It's really... really real! The magical place from your sister's fairy books. Except you can fight them. You know. For loot.


On the Arcangrove side of the Unicorn Glen border, you can find Vesta the Herbalist at her cabin. Craft 6 new items and ingredients (for quests or for purchase) including Unicorn Dust and Brownie Parts. (Brownie like the dessert? Or brownie like the creature? YES.)

Not much else was divulged about Vesta, so I guess we'll find out together.


Oh the majestic sights you will witness in Unicorn Glen! But none is so... *gulps* articulately animated as Todd the Derp'icon. This beast is officially the toughest monster in the world.

(You may have accidentally experienced Todd the Derpicorn pre-release, thanks to a spoiler event by our new programmer Dagger. Todd was drawn by Dage, animated by Korin, and is pride and joy of the AQ3D team.)


He is "hoofs-down, our most animated monster ever." Dage did the art and Korin did the animation. Together they made a truly derpy monster. Farming Todd the Derpicorn is also required to loot hard-to-find items, but he's very hard to kill (level 31!!!), so get real comfortable with looking at that derp face.



You might also spot a certain unicorn bro. You know who I mean.


"What is an Ornithon?" I (Glisel) asked Cysero. "Birdperson. Like in the bank," he said.

Well, that explains why General Polly is a Guard Parrot. When you talk to Polly, you will find level 27 weapons (with stats!) available, and all created by Thyton. For 25,000 gold each; except for a special craftable weapon called Dark Destiny. Now you have something to do with those millions of gold you've accrued for the past 25+ levels! Let me just say, when Cysero mentioned a chakram, I got very excited. And then I saw the chakram and I'm all giddy. I'll gladly shell out gold for that beauty. The other weapons are beautiful too, but this is my fave.

The Ornithon Camp itself is filled with Ornithon settlers and large tree houses. I'm not ashamed to say it took me awhile to realize how to get up into those tree houses. Well... maybe a little... but I can't take it back now.




We hope you enjoy this preview of Arcangrove. It is something to hold you over while we finish the cutscenes and maps. The next Arcangrove Saga release will be the full story release. For all of you LORE lore lovers (see what I did there?). You will find out the source of LORE's magic. You will be able to enter the Tower of Magic to continue your magic training. Specifically mana-based magic (Because there are other types... like dragon magic and void magic). You will also learn about the Council of Magi who are the governing body of all mana-based magic in the world.

Battle on!

Glisel & Artix (We wrote this one together for you!)

P.S The Moglins are shipping! We have packed 6,000 Moglins so far and about 3,000 of them have been shipped. Read the post here.

P.P.S Yes, we put , we put those level 1 starter boots back in the game. But we are not telling you where... >_<

P.P.P.S. We just released a new game, IdleQuest, on the new Artix Entertainment Games Launcher 2.0. The launcher lets you play all of our web based games... and future proofs them.

Moglomancer is a new class that will be available for all players to earn. It was the big, final stretch goal from the Moglins Kickstarter. If you backed the Moglins Kickstarter, you get early access to the class starting now. If not, you still have time. We are shipping the Moglins now.





It is a really fun class to play, and these new skills are going to add a lot of fun to the game.

• Zorbak's Bane
  Call upon Zorbak to empower your weapon, dealing heavy damage and strengthening nearby allies. Increases your attack until another Moglin is called.
  
• Twilly's Blessing
  Call upon Twilly to heal all nearby allies. Auto-attacks heal allies and drain mana until another Moglin is called.
  
• Twig's Seal
  Call upon Twig to enchant your weapon, silencing your target. Auto-attacks regenerate mana until another Moglin is called.
  
• Passive: Moglin Reach
  Unlocks at rank 4... increasing the size of all area effect abilities
  
• Ultimate: MOGLIN PUNT
  Rear back and pummel a Moglin through your enemies. Don't worry, they enjoy it. The Moglins, not your enemies.
  
• Cross Skill: Blizzy's Blizzard Blitz
  Blizzy's Blizzard Blitz is the the Moglomancer's Cross Skill. Summon Blizzy to slow all enemies nearby. Once unlocked you can equip this on any class. We will be improving the functionality of this spell next week.
  

If you have been following my Twitter or Facebook, then you probably saw photos of that truck filled with 27,000 Moglins that showed up at our "Secret Underground Lab". Which... also a secret... is apparently on the second floor XD. The entire dev team went into the sun *gulps* and worked together to unlock the truck and bring the Moglins in. We are, as you guessed, in the early stages of a packing and shipping frenzy this week. It is a pretty big deal. This is the largest order of physical products we have ever shipped out of the lab. We were surprised at how awesome the Moglins turned out. Their colors are perfectly vibrant and they are even better than the prototypes.

Each Moglin includes a code that unlocks a matching in-game Moglin plush pet in AdventureQuest 3D. Late backers have one final chance to get them with all the Kickstarter rewards.




The quests to get the full Red Moglomancer set will not be released until the Moglomancer class goes live for all players. Currently it is in early access as promised to the Moglin Kickstarter backers. After the early access period ends, this class will become available for all players to earn along with the quests for the Twilly-themed red Moglomancer armor set. Like our previous early access classes, we expect this to be roughly a month.




Next week's major story release is the magical forest of Arcanegrove. It is home to the Tower of Magic. Unlike our previous multi-part Sagas, we are doing Arcangrove story in a single release. Hope you enjoy it.

The Sentinels of Arcangrove are mage knights who protect the Tower of Sorcery.





Here is a sneak peek of Dage's newest armor. You will find it in the upcoming enchanted forest of Arcangrove.





In Arcangrove's story, you will learn the secret of our world's magic. I probably should have checked with the team before saying this, but at the center of Arcangrove's story was the original main storyline of AdventureQuest 3D: Legend of Lore. Cysero has been furiously writing the narrative for weeks now. As you may know, he wrote the original Arcangrove in our 2D MMORPG, AdventureQuest Worlds. This, is a much deeper story... figuratively and literally.

Meanwhile... PvP! 1 vs 1 Duels are live in AdventureQuest 3D. Have you watched some duels or tried it yet?

Town has come alive with players dueling. As you read this, a bar fight is breaking out in Yulgars. It's not perfect... but man is it exciting to watch and do! Come give it a try.
https://aq3d.com/news/duels_live/




Target a player and click on their nameplate.... there is now an option to duel! Oh, be sure to turn on duel invites in the options. We disabled it by default because... well, you know why X_X





Bring potions, food, and buffs... anything goes. Duels are lawless and very dependent on your gear and stats. Read your opponent and choose your class wisely. There are many strategies to win, and many ways to maximize your attack and defense.



"Why is everyone suddenly trying to duel me", says the player named Honor.
This first release of PvP dueling is super fun, but there are still a ton of things we need to improve. For example, it turns out spectators can heal... anyone. (Whoops). Please duel (and spectate) with honor and respect.


Many players say the classes Pirate, Ninja, and Mage are currently kings of the battlefield. Well, some players might argue that Necromancer, Paladin, and Rogue are beastly if played correctly too. While we will be making some tweaks, not every class is intended to be for PvP. Experiment with different classes and share your findings with the team.


Dage has been addicted to dueling with players in town and the inn. He REALLY likes PvP. So if you see him in game, go for it. A handful of players can claim they downed him so far. He plays fair with perfectly normal stats and gear.

What's in store for the future of PvP? We have been discussing what you will be able to do in the upcoming area... from area matches, battle royale, and team vs team or faction vs faction battles.

Let us know what PvP features you would like to see in the comments section below. (Co-op focused players, we can plot some new team based features in the next post.) PvP on!

AdventureQuest 3D Version 1.19.23
AdventureQuest 3D's newest weekly release just dropped and now the world quests, side-quests, and other adventures can now span the entire world. And a map... so you can see that world.

See the full post at https://aq3d.com/news/mapquest2_questmaps/


Previously, our games quests were designed like short stories. That is, they were completely self contained to a single story... or "saga". But now, we busted down the walls allowing the main story, side stories, and other adventures to span the entire world. It also makes it easier for you to track your quests.
