Spikarox! A New Daily Boss Fight for all players



[h2]All players can battle Spikarox in the new Daily Boss fight![/h2]
Not caught up on the Sandsea Saga, yet? Don’t worry. Players of all levels are welcome to join this fight. The new Sandsea Daily Boss fight just went live. Join us online now for a taste of the Sandsea city of Bastion and some of its deadly desert creatures with great rewards!



[h2]I'll scratch your back if you scratch... Scratch's?[/h2]
Scratch is the half-cat Kitarian from Battleon. He recruits high level heroes to adventure in the Sandsea Desert. You will also find him in this week's new Sandsea Daily Boss fight. Talk to him to learn about the “Pest Invasion” and get a look at the exciting new items you can craft with your rewards.



[h2]How do I get to the Daily Boss Fight?[/h2]
It is super easy. Just open your side menu (you know, the one with three lines) and go to the adventures tab.

[h2]“Pest Invasion”[/h2]
It’s Smacking Day! Every so often the town of Bastion will become overrun with critters from the surrounding Sandsea desert. The residents have created a holiday to reward people for helping to put a smack down on these invasive critters. You’ll need to smack twelve small critters and one big critter. Accept this quest and, for your help, you will receive a Daily Boss Trophy and extra Bug Parts which can be used to craft new items.
 


[h2]Meet the Boss: Spikarox[/h2]
Spikarox is one big critter, if you can call it that. It is a giant golden scorpion with a deadly poisonous sting. This critter not only poisons you but it spawns baby scorpion minions to do additional damage. Oh yeah, and did we mention Area of Effect attacks? You might want to stock your hotbar with potions and healing spells.
Spikarox itself may drop special items including the Broken Telson which is needed to begin crafting the Telson Daggers.
Joined an instance with just a few people? Glisel and Rellik wrote some tips for How to Survive Spikarox with a Small Party:
  • Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
  • Keep moving/Dodge
  • Prep a lot of potions
  • Must have a healer of some type
  • Use AOEs when baby scorpions are spawned
  • Try not to trigger attacks from the other monsters in the map




[h2]Spikarox Crafting[/h2]
After you have given a big smack to Spikarox, return to Scratch to turn in your quest and take your Bug Parts to the Spikarox Crafting shop. You will be able to craft four new weapons and a fresh set of Sandsea armor and a belt. All of these items can be upgraded to Epic rarity in the crafting shop with more Bug Parts and the base items.

Crafting Items
  • Telson Daggers (requires “Broken Telson” drop to begin crafting)
  • Sandsea Curved Knife
  • Sandsea Dual Bladed Scythe
  • Sandsea Polearm
  • Cochineal Oasis Armor
  • Cochineal Oasis Belt


See you on Smacking Day!

Battle on!

SANDSHARK WEEK! Also Wings & Oni Syndicate



[h2]Let the hunt begin![/h2]
At the end of Part 6, a Sharken-like creature caused a literal stir in the Valley when it reportedly ate the Phara-Keet Pyramid’s treasure room, absconding with the final lamp piece. So it’s time to wrestle up some bait, craft a bundle of poison-laced harpoons, and board Squint’s skiff for a special creature expedition to settle the score with this thieving monstrosity! After you’ve reported back to Sekt, head back to Battleon. Cysero’s Forge has new sets and items to craft, and the Chest Shop in your menu has 2 new sets including Dage’s Oni Syndicate set as well as lots of colorful Butterfly Wings.


[h2]Slay the Void-Sharken[/h2]
Behold the beast brought forth by the Voidrakar -- the Void-Sharken! Azella has somehow hollowed a Sharken to do the Voidrakar’s bidding. Is there no limit to the Voidrakar’s power? No time to think about that while the last piece of the lamp lies in the belly of this monstrosity! Load up your harpoons and be aware of your surroundings. This beast is vicious!

[h2]There can be ONI one![/h2]
Open the Chest Shop for a chance to start collecting Dage’s new Oni Syndicate set. Dress the part of one of Lore’s toughest crews and defend your turf against anyone who dares to defy the Oni Syndicate. Make your foes tremble at your appearance with one of four distinct Oni masks, one of which may look very familiar to longtime AE players. If you’re lucky, you might get the Legendary Oni Syndicate Armor or Katana, each flowing with Oni energy.


Get your head in the clouds (or in the mountains?) and prepare for a showdown with the armor sets of rival factions Red Cloud and Blue Brass sets from Cysero’s Adventure Crafting shop. And hold on to your Daily Boss Trophies so you can craft the new Arcane Jester set at Cysero’s Daily Boss Crafting shop!


Get your nets ready, ‘cause it’s time for Winnie’s Changeling Butterfly Wing crafting! Combine all eight butterfly wings to create a marvellous color-changing set of wings at her Tailor Shop in Battleon. Collect them all from the Chest Shop and Cysero’s Forge!
