Your story begins! Login and discover who you are in our world as AdventureQuest 3D's main storyline begins.
Death's Lair
"You've been dying for the main story to begin... Death is excited to help you with that."
Login and talk to me (Artix) to begin your adventure. I am standing in town right next to the little red moglin, Twilly.
This is the intro the game deserves
We put a lot of heart into this... and we really hope you love it! Imagine yourself as a new player as you experience it for the first time. We aimed to give existing and new players a taste of our humor, show off how big the world is (and it's going to be), introduce the main villain, and reveal your purpose. All of this... in a very short, single sitting.
Once you complete the short intro, return to Death's Lair (called Grim Outlook) using the Travel Crystal to begin Death's Challenges. They unlock new items & titles. We will continuously be improving, tweaking, and adding onto this as we raise the level cap. Next week we will be continuing the main storyline, adding Daily Boss challenges to the Town of Battleon, and more things-- be sure to read about them on our game website http://www.AQ3D.com . See you in game!
Battle on! Artix & the AdventureQuest 3D Team
P.S. Zhoom added the 1st round of LIVE EVENT commands... want to help me test it next week? P.P.S. We will be Kickstarting the Moglins very soon! Pets feature coming into sharper focus as a result.
Be sure to grab the newest update of AdventureQuest 3D from Steam or the App Store. Here is what is new...
This release KICKS GRASS!
...literally. We added support for grass and when you walk over it, it moves. However, none of the maps actually have any grass in it (yet). Grass will be added to the Town of Battleon and outside of Death's lair in the next release. You can toggle grass in the settings.
New Friends Interface
"Let's be better friends!" From your friends list, you can now directly invite someone to your group, or goto them, or summon them, or send them a whisper. (Thank you to MJ from Massively Overpowered for making me realize how important this feature is for playing together.)
Fixed news button disappearing after map change
Apparently, "No news" is NOT good news. This has been fixed.
Bizzaro Character Deformations Fix!
There was a glitch that caused players to bend into unholy positions and break things for other players in the game. Zhoom added checks to prevent this "asset distortion issue".
Spy on other player's equipped items
What the heck is that player wearing? Now you can know. When you inspect a player you can now see their equipped items-- both actually equipped and cosmetically equipped.
Dual Wield Hand Cannons
The game now supports all the features required to release Pirate and Alpha Pirate. This is, of course, our first dual wielding hand cannon class. This is a new equip slot that all players will have. But will only be usable by classes that use hand cannons.
Mobile Features - Joystick and Auto Run Toggles
By popular demand we have added the option to lock the joystick in place and enable disable auto run. You can auto run on mobile by double tapping the joy stick.
Combat Improvements and Balance Updates
"Don't you hate it when devs write something like this in the patch notes and then do not give any details?" So here are the details....
The game will now only show other players' status effect icons on your target. Spells that only do damage / DoTs will not have their icon shown. This is to clear up some icon clutter on the target.
Area of Effect abilities now deal 10% less damage or healing to their 2nd target, 20% less to their 3rd target, down to a minimum of 50% damage to their 6th or more targets.
To compensate, AoE abilities have had their base power increased. The result should be that these spells do nearly the same or more damage to 3 or fewer targets, but less to a larger number of targets.
Targets are damaged in order of highest aggro.
Targets are healed in order of lowest percent health left.
By popular request the action bar is now bigger. But the bad news is there is less space for your chat window. But the good news is the chat window pops up above the bar to give you more space if it does not fit!
Android Users!
AdventureQuest 3D now requires you to be using at least Android 4.4 (Kit Kat). A very small number of players who are not using Android 4.4 or higher need to update your OS in order to play the new version of the game.
Support for new intro (ALMOST!?)
The new intro "DEATH'S LAIR" requires a few new features. Most are in this build, but we need to roll out at least one more early next week in order to release the new intro and begin AdventureQuest 3D's Main Storyline. So, as a little teaser to get you in the spirit, we updated the game's title screen with a special sneaky peak for you. Battle on!
Congratulations to the players who brought victory to the Zorbak Cabin! ALL players can login and get their free winning team back-flag with Zorbak's grinning mug on it :P
The NEXT Friday the 13th happens in 2019...
You will be delighted to know we have something different in mind for when it happens. We will have PvP by then too O_O Coming next in AdventureQuest 3D "Death's Lair"
Login and battle for your favorite cabin in this weekend's Friday the 13th War! The winning team will have their back flag released for all players. Beware... someone accidentally opened a cryogenic chamber releasing... *message suddenly cut off*
Twilly vs Zorbak Cabins
Prepare for war! This Friday the 13th, battle for either the Twilly or Zorbak Cabins. This is the first time we have ever had a war centered around our two mascot characters. May the best (or worst) moglin win! Oh, we lowered the war meter for this one... it is going to be a fast war!
Twilly - the Red Hero Moglin Often found on the tree stump in town, Twilly is quick with a heal and a warm smile. Many believe this friendly moglin was the first to make contact with humans. Is he just a loyal friend, or does he play a deeper role in our ultimate destiny? He sure does seem little. Some people would be surprised to hear this little fella once defeated Pax, becoming High Warlord of the Death Arena.
Zorbak - the 100% Ebil Blue Moglin While most moglins are gifted with powers to help you, Zorbak is more likely to use necromancy to re-animate your food. Often found in the company of insidious villains, this little scheming blue moglin always has a secret plan.
Cryo-Shrade
We thought he was gone. But then scientists discovered a mysterious cryogenic chamber... and they made the mistake of opening it. HE'S BACK! Battle the rare spawn Cryo-Shrade to get new armor, hood, mask, hooded mask and cleaver items.
Lost Hiker Set
"Wear this... and you can get lost too!"
DEATH'S LAIR! Coming next time on AdventureQuest 3D
We hope you enjoy this special mini-war. We received a lot of messages from players asking why we did not do the new adventure for Shrade that was originally planned. Truth is, we wanted to remain focused on the game's main storyline, including the new intro "Death's Lair" which will introduce AdventureQuest 3D's new main villain, Vane. Hope you agree that putting the time into permanent game content, instead of pushing things back another week for a one-off event is the best use of our time. That being said, when the team and I saw your comments on Youtube and Twitter about not getting a new Shrade... we did not want to let you down. So the team stayed late and went into overtime. They created the new Shrade and 2 armor sets that drop for you just in the nick of time. Any haters can say what they want, but these guys love you. Happy Friday the 13th!
QUESTION: What Cabin will you be fighting for... TWILLY or ZORBAK? More News
Do you have the potential to become a caretaker of the Dragon's Graveyard? Earn Zakaru's staff through new daily quests that unlock once you have completed the story. How to do the new daily quests
After you complete the Dragon's Graveyard storyline talk to Zakaru.
Coming Next Week
We have been hard at work on the new intro "Death's Lair" which is aimed at improving early game retention for players not familiar with our previous games. It is short, burst play, which will also introduce AdventureQuest 3D's main villain. Also, next week is a Friday the 13th! As per tradition "You know who" is returning to breath heavily and murder us all as we battle for two new cabin teams as Camp Gonnagetcha re-opens.
P.S. It is also now possible to get Slifsgaard's beard from the World Tree.
Do you have dreams of having the most majestic beard EVAR?
[ Want Slifsgaard's AMAZING beard? Find the secret of his beard... it is hidden in a treasure chest somewhere in the main area of the World Tree. Then take the secret to the barber shop and make the bottom half of your face erupt with glorious folicular magnificence! Or, just go with the mustache. It is pretty good too.
Can you make it to the top of our new parkour map? If so, you will unlock the Dragon's Graveyard Parkour badge and and the title, "Trick Jumper". But beware, this is our craziest jump challenge yet with magically disappearing floors, deadly lasers, and and a multiple choice ending that will leave you cursing the name of this dungeon's creator... which was Yergen for the record.
Where is the new Parkour Map?
The entrance to this new parkour map can be found under a massive dragon's ribcage in the mushroom people infested part of the Dragon's Graveyard.
Goto friends blocked in the Parkour Map!?
WHAT!? O_O Nope. It is not possible to teleport to friends standing at the top of the Parkour map for... there is only one way to the top!
Coming soon, Death's Domain!
We are building a new intro for AdventureQuest 3D. We think you are going to love it TO DEATH. In addition to a moving 3D version of our Grim Reaper, we are also building the final version of the game's main villain.
Duel Wield & Cleave is AWESOME... change my mind.
I posted a video on AdventureQuest 3D's Facebook where I am dual wielding my axe the Blinding Light of Destiny. Rogues are getting the ability to dual wield, Warriors are getting cleave, and we are making a lot of fun changes to combat. Check out my design notes post for more.

Unity 2018 Update
We updated AdventureQuest 3D to the newest version of Unity which will allow us to start using the newest tools to improve the graphics and gameplay. For this release, our goal was for the game to look EXACTLY like it did yesterday. So even though we updated literally every map, armor, item, and file in the entire game-- nothing should look different to you. If it does, let us know on the bug tracker!
Necromancer starts Early Access for Legendary Tier Kickstarter Backers
Now on Live Server
You are very likely going to see players summoning undead minions starting today. And this is good news. Now that the Legendary Tier Kickstarter Backers are getting their early access, we can start preparing to release both Paladin and Necromancer for all players to obtain in the upcoming new DoomWood.
Complete story! The Dragon's Graveyard Parts I & II are LIVE!
We really hope you enjoy the this new story release. It was honor to work with Zakaru and bring his story to life... or undeath. We will be doing a Massively Overpowered live-stream with Zakaru, his sister, and also Vesper tonight to play through the release. My favorite part is hands down the "dragon ride". I really like seeing this level of creativity emerging in AdventureQuest 3D. The entire team would like to thank Zakaru once again for being a part of this game and being so focused on making this release something fun for you to enjoy. There are a lot of neat items that he helped design for you to battle for and craft. Battle on!

WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK!?
Yet again, a mini-release intended to hold us over until The Dragon's Graveyard: Part II releases got... completely out of hand. Originally intended as a simple shop, we just kept adding more creative things. The team would laugh... and the inspiration became contagious resulting in us making more. From unicorn floaties to the subtly swaying trees-- you can feel the good vibes and love in this release.
