Samurai Class is Live!

[h2]Become a Samurai[/h2]
Unlock Samurai Class by visiting Hensou (currently in Battleon) and completing daily quests for Samurai Tokens, or use DragonCrystals to buy the class. Once you unlock the class, return to Hensou to learn the history and master the art of Samurai.

[h2]What is Samurai Class?[/h2]
Samurai are warriors of Yokai who harness the power of the wind, as bestowed by the dragon spirit Ryukami. Using swords of enchanted steel, they slash like the breeze before unleashing the power of a hurricane.

Use your extra Samurai Tokens to buy the Samurai Class Gear from Hensou!
 


[h2]Samurai Skills[/h2]
  • Breath of the Wind (Passive): Attacks and abilities add a stacking buff to the player’s attack and attack speed to a maximum 50 stacks. Cross skills do not generate stacks.
  • Auto Attack: Repeatedly attack an enemy in range. Can be cast from range if in Ranged Stance.
  • Zephyr Strike: Quickly slash your opponent. Finish the 3 hit combo to deal massive damage.
  • Wind Cutter: Dash to an enemy and enter melee stance. If you kill an enemy, you may dash to the next one.
  • Nothing Personal: Launch a windslash breaking the armor of your oppenent, then dash to them.
  • Death by A Thousand Cuts (Ultimate): Call upon the spirit of the Wind Dragon to increase your Haste. Attacks while this is active will apply One of a Thousand Cuts. Nothing Personal deals increased per stack of One of a Thousand Cuts.
  • Menacing Stance (Cross Skill): Channel the power within letting all your attacks automatically crit for a short time after. "Oh, You're approaching me?"


[h2]Master the Ways of the Samurai[/h2]
A newcomer named Hensou has arrived in Battleon. He is willing to teach you the ways of the Samurai. To truly master the class, you must earn the favor of Ryukami, the dragon spirit of wind who once gave a piece of himself to empower these warriors of Yokai. Seek the guidance of Hensou and become… a Samurai.
*Note: Samurai Class must be unlocked to begin this questline.

UPDATED: Hurricane Ian vs AQ3D Release Schedule - XP Boost!

Heads up! Due to the incoming hurricane we are doing a XP Boost.

[h2]UPDATED - XP BOOST![/h2]
With the latest news on the storms path, our team here in the Tampa Bay area is now 100% focused on storm safety. Meanwhile in-game we just started an XP Boost for all players.

Greetings friend!

Hope you are well. Especially everyone up in the North East who just dealt with Hurricane Fiona this past weekend. One of our AdventureQuest 3D devs is still without power up there. While we normally try to keep the real world out of the games, another hurricane is forming south of us in the Gulf Atlantic and may impact this week's release. Wanted to give you advanced warning.

Needless to say, we prioritize the teams safety. So everyone was instructed to take care of emergency preparation before continuing their game responsibilities. Schools here in the Tampa Bay area have shut down for the week and are being converted to emergency shelters.

Hurricanes are wildly unpredictable. There is really no way to know if the hurricane will turn into a Category 4 monster or hit some resistance and spin down to just a tropical storm. We have been through a few of these now. Power outages & downed trees are very common with hurricanes. Even if we are not directly hit by the storm, sometime the power is cut as a precautionary measure for other regions. Regardless, the best plan is to always prepare for the worst. We secured the lab earlier today and removed / unplugged everything.

Enjoy the XP Boost. We will be back as soon as we can.

Be safe everyone.

Nulgath Saga: Part 2 - Bonus Content

[h2]The Saga Continues with Part 2[/h2]
Victor Lionfang and his Paladins of the Golden Onslaught are in the Red Monastery. Continue your adventure and begin the search for the pieces of the Shattered Sword. If you’ve already done that, head to the Wastelands to enjoy the bonus content from this release!



[h2]Crag and Bamboozle Updates[/h2]
Obtain the Pronged Ruin (stat weapon) from the dreaded Bull Fiend in the Wasteland. Bamboozle (the NPC) now offers a quest to upgrade the weapon to its stronger form: the Desolate Pronged Ruin. He also will give you a Corpse Eater pet in exchange for Decaying Morsels dropped in the Catacombs. He certainly drives a hard bargain.
.....
Due to all of the issues, confusion, and some technical issues with the a la carte version of the "Crag in a Cart" pet (which does not contain any quests), it has been removed from the game. Any player who purchased the stand-alone version of this pet has automatically had the full price of 550 DragonCrystals refunded as of September 21st, 2022. We apologize for the confusion and back-and-forth over this unusual situation. If anyone wants the version of the pet with no quests returned to the game--please let us know as we are considering re-adding it to the a la carte shop with a clearer name and explanation that it does not contain quests.

The Crag in a Cart pet (bought with Collector’s Chest) opens the Nulgath Part 2 Collection Shop as well as giving access to additional Nulgath Part 2 quests. Just click on the pet when equipped to see these features. However, you must complete Part 2 of the saga to see the new quests.



[h2]Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes…[/h2]
We received a lot of player feedback that the balancing in Nulgath Part 2 was an issue and that certain areas were too difficult. We made general balance changes and adjusted some boss fights to be easier on you. Drop rates also received some changes, as well as…

Phoenix Blade of Nulgath. We had devs monitoring this new type of quest following the release to see how it performed Live. The Phoenix Blade of Nulgath quests allowed players to complete it with minimal interaction with most of the Nulgath content, which ultimately felt wrong. Climbing Mount Everest feels a lot less rewarding when there is an elevator to the top. We needed the acquisition of the blade to feel like a worthy achievement. So… we made a hot-fix to change it.

We try not to do hot-fixes unless something is game-breaking. Our aim is always to communicate, at the very least through social media, when something is being changed. A lot of players were upset by this change due to lack of communication prior to the change and the feeling of effort wasted on now obsolete crafting materials. We will do better to communicate changes in the future, especially with content this important to the release.

For those who are concerned about their DragonCrystal earnings from ads… We have temporarily disabled ad watching as Unity investigates the issue on their end.

We made several other small changes to the saga and overall game.
View our patch notes here to read all the changes.



[h2]Talk Like a Pirate Day 2022 Collection![/h2]
The Rickets Pet from the The Talk Like a Pirate Day 2022 Collection is now available for those who buy the TLAPD 2022 Collector's Chest AND those who have unlocked all 12 HeroMart Moglins in AQ3D.

[h2]Last Chance[/h2]
  • 50% extra DragonCrystals with any purchase from the Upgrade Shop through October 3rd.
  • Ultra Mega Party Don is in the Social District until October 5th.
  • Talk Like a Pirate Day 2022 Collection is available until September 19th.

[h2]Thank you and… One More Thing![/h2]

See you in game... Battle On!
