[h2]Bonus XP Weekend, now with Class XP![/h2]
It’s all in the title! Play from Friday November 12th, 12PM EST and earn bonus Class XP as well as Player XP in game!


[h2]PvP Class Changes[/h2]
Ranger
Ranger's big AOE spell often takes too long to apply its damage, giving targets more than enough time to move away. This should help Ranger's damage stay more consistent.
Ranger
- Rain of Arrows
* Applies damage over 3 → 1.8 seconds

Ninja
Though it may sound appropriate for a Ninja, we felt the class has too much "hidden power" lurking in its abilities. We're taking some of the more passive power away from a couple spells in order to make sure that skillful play is required to get the full benefit from Ninja.
- Tempered Blades
* Max stacks Attack +30% → +21%
- Smokestep
* Removed bonus dodge chance

PVP BUFFS
Ranged and support classes are currently underperforming in PvP, so we are using the class-specific buffs to make adjustments. Currently we have a Melee buff, and we're adding 2 more categories: Ranged and Support. Classes that cover multiple categories will receive the buffs from both. The only exception is Mage since the class is already doing quite well in PvP.
- Melee Buff
* +15% Max Health
* +10% Movement Speed
* Moglomancer now receives both portions of this buff instead of only the movement speed
* Received by Warrior, Rogue, Guardian, Dragonslayer, Paladin, Ninja, Berserker, and Moglomancer

- Ranged Buff
* +10% Damage
* Received by Healer, Ranger, Pirate, and Necromancer

- Support Buff
* +20% healing output
* Received by Healer, Paladin, and Moglomancer

PVP SPELLS
We're overall pretty happy with the variety of PvP Spells in use, though we want to encourage more healing from support classes (from the PvP Buffs) while not increasing fight durations too much, so we're lowering the heal from Recover. We also want Swiftcast to have usage on more classes than just Mage, so we're adding some Auto-Attack speed to make it more attractive.
- Recover
* Health recovery 15-30% → 10-20%
- Swiftcast
* Now increases Auto-Attack Speed by 30%

Enter The Temple of Death! AdventureQuest 3D’s toughest challenge yet...

[h3]"You think you’ve defeated me? You can’t even begin to imagine my full power!"[/h3]
Skorpienne is back, bigger and badder than before! You’ll need to gather your most powerful friends to help you face her at full power in The Temple of Death…
[h2]The Temple of Death - Raid[/h2]
Defeating Skorpienne in The Temple of Death is no easy task, with multiple phases to battle through, and new tactics that will end the fight if you fail to defeat her. Be careful, and don’t get overwhelmed by her armies! Shatter her Destruction Diamonds before she destroys the whole Temple and defeats you all.
Pick up some quests from Sekt before heading to the Great Pyramid to join the Temple of Death raid. We used a similar queue system to the Battle Arena. Make sure you have at least 751 total average power equipped. Skorpienne will only face worthy opponents. When all ten players are ready, you will be teleported to the Raid.
*Note: You can check your average power in the Equipped Gear section of your inventory.


[h2]The Rewards[/h2]
This week’s release is packed with epic rewards for defeating the fully powered Skorpienne!
Defeating her in battle gives you a chance to obtain the following from the reward chest…
  • Hollowed Champion Bow
  • Hollowed Champion Dagger
  • Hollowed Champion Greatsword
  • Hollowed Champion Scythe
  • Skorpienne Carapace (crafting materials)
  • Skorpienne Crystal Fragments (crafting materials)

If you destroy all of the Destruction Crystals and prevent the temple from being destroyed, a second special chest will drop with…
  • “Battalion” Title
  • Extra Skorpienne Crystal Fragments
  • Extra Skorpienne Carapace

Of course, there are also a couple of extremely rare items in both chests, but we’ll just let you find out what they are :)
[h2]Hollowed Champion Crafting[/h2]
Visit Sekt to craft the Hollowed Champion armor set and weapons after you’ve slayed Skorpienne again!
  • Hollowed Champion Armor
  • Hollowed Champion Belt
  • Hollowed Champion Boots

[h2]How to level up quickly![/h2]
Eager to play the challenge? Here’s a list of some of the quickest way to level up!
  • Finish the Sandsea Saga
  • Play some PvP
  • Visit the Masquerade of the Macabre
  • Play through the story

The most efficient way to get your average power level to 751 is to utilize a combination of the following gear:
  • Infuse pieces of the Void Sharken to +15 power offset or 15/15 infusion.
  • Use Zhoom’s Bow; rewarded by completing the Sandsea Saga or any other weapon that can be infused to +15 or 15/15.
  • Infuse additional pieces of Crocos gear to +10 or 10/10.

You need at least 2 items fully infused to 755 Power level and the rest infused to 750 power level to get access to the raid. You can keep checking your average power by clicking Equip Best in your Inventory until the average equals 751 or more.
See you in game.
Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team

[h2]New stuff at HeroMart[/h2]
Check out the new real-life drops at our online shop, HeroMart.com.



[h2]Happy Mogloween![/h2]
We added plenty of drops & rewards to make sure you would be well suited for the Masquerade. For even more items, and to support our weekly releases, please consider buying this year's new Mogloween collection! You can get the pieces individually, or buy the entire collection to save a ton of DragonCrystals, get the badge/title, and unlock permanent year round storage to free up bank space.



[h2]Thank you & Game Designer thoughts[/h2]
This is our favorite time of the year. Thank you for spending it with us! A weeks ago, when I asked Llussion if he could build a ballroom (it looks so beautiful), the idea was to create a place where we could hang out, farm monsters, and chill with friends. Dagger came along and added phases to the dancing. The mysterious figure playing the organ switched the dance floor up. We added a crazy number of quests and a few fun side things for you to discover. This is certainly not intended to be a single sitting event! Please do take your time and enjoy it over the next week.

The team and I really hope you and your friends enjoy this Mogloween release. We will be dropping by to dance and cause trouble with you. Look forward to seeing you there.

Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik and the AQ3D Team
