Login and join us in the Pirate Town of Lolosia. There's a whole lotta new faces to meet... and an epic adventure of pirating and plundering across the high seas





All players can now start earning the Pirate Class through daily quests! Once you have unlocked the class, you can then use those Pirate Tokens to unlock Pirate Armor and our first free travel form.





Battle all new monsters like the Sea Ogre, Megadon (next week), Hammerhead Zard, Deeplings, the horrifying Flyshimi Fish, Clawgmurai, and the Bilge Rats... which are technicaly "Pi-RATS" if you think about it. The main event at the end of this first part of the saga is an epic BOSS battle at sea. If you enjoyed the Fire Dragon (Akriloth) battle from Ashfall, you are going to LOVE this.

• Level cap raised!
• There are new travel badges to be found.
• Guardians can get 5 extra Pirate Tokens per day to earn the class a little faster.
• And the Moglin Scurvy in town... will tell you a different story each time you buy him a drink.

Get your favorite items individually, or get the entire 2018 Pirate Collection! This year we have Land Shark and Cursed Pirate travel forms... a wicked array of Pirate gear including peg legs, stylish armor, hand cannons, and more! The collection includes a badge and the title "Sea Marauder"







There are a lot of new faces in town... many of them have shops or the skill to craft items using the things you find on your adventures.





Play the Pirate Saga and dive into the story this week... and then, in our next AdventureQuest 3D release, get your friends together for some challenging boss fights! Also in this new release is support for monster telegraphs (projections), pets, and more.




Captain Rhubarb is perhaps the most famous Pirate of our world. I mean, there's no statue of him punching a shark in the face like Peckard, but he's known far and wide. His ship is the Red Betty. You're about to make some incredible memories aboard it. "BATTLE ARRRRRRR!"

Next Wednesday is Talk Like a Pirate Day but right now, the town of Battleon is under attack! Log in now to help us defend our home town from undead pirates and earn defenders medals to unlock gear. There's also a Moglin in town pre-selling the Pirate class!

Lolosia is the 1st part of a 3-part saga featuring pirates, ninjas, an underwater city, the Braken, and of course.. undead parrots. "Polly want to... eat my brains?" Also, whatever this thing is Dage made concept art of which is DEFINITELY happening.



It is almost time... Pirate class will be released for all players to earn, the port Town of Lolosia will open up granting you access to a Pirate Ship and high adventure across the oceans of Lore. On the dev side, we just got phase I of pets working, new settings and options, and we are testing monster telegraphs-- which means you can see their attacks so you can dodge or counter them.

Hope you are looking forward to all the pirates, ninjas, and giant cyborg-cannon-shark-things we have coming your way in September in AdventureQuest 3D.

Until the end of Friday, we are running a special where you can get 50% bonus DragonCrystals. This is a great opportunity to load up and save before the 2018 Talk Like a Pirate Day Collection.

Well met friend! With tonight's AdventureQuest 3D server restart we now have 5 Daily Boss fights in rotation. Each day, a random boss fight will become available for 24 hours. To take on the boss, simply talk to Twilly, the red mogiln on the tree stump in town. See you in game! - Artix

In this week's release you can take on our first Daily Boss Fight, walk through some grass, quest for an awesome new scythe, wand, and sword, and check out our new and improved art for Warrior, Rogue, & Mage.
https://aq3d.com/news/dailybossfights/



Rumor has it that something terrible is lurking in Bladderwort Glade. An enormous mutation of a seed spitter... and its seeds can turn even the most hardened hero into a mindless plant-zombie.


Talk to Twilly in town to check out the Boss Fight of the day! He has a daily quest where you can earn a Boss Fight Trophy. Needless to say the goal is to have a different, random, boss battle each day-- but right now we just have this one. So, give it a try and we will add more bosses very soon!



Artist Darkon re-imagined & crafted the AQWorld's "Balrog Blade" into 3D. All players can earn this by collecting Daily Boss Trophies.



Bladderwort Glade is officially the first place to support grass in AdventureQuest 3D for PC & Mac players. (Not to be confused with that grass we released in the intro last week that turned all of our game graphics on iPhones pink.) We made two changes to the grass shader... first, it now blends into the ground. Second it has a nice gradient and some subtle randomization. When you walk over the grass, it should react by being pushed by your feet. Feels pretty good!

We will be re-adding grass to the Town of Battleon and the Intro next week.




Thank you for all of the love and cheers for AdventureQuest 3D's new intro. If you have not played it yet, simply login... it will be the first thing that happens when you hit play. Our new big baddie, Vane the Voidking, certainly made an impression... so much that another video game designer called me up to tell me how jealous he was of the games new villain. After the intro went live, our numbers jumped across the board. Our day 1 retention alone increased over 25%! I am really proud of the team's hard work and creativity on this. We are already working on what is coming next...

• Town of BattleOn's Shops & World Story
  
• Heartwood & Livingstone Cavern revamp (Berseker?)
  
• DoomWood Revamp (Paladin vs Necromancer)
  
• Lolosia (Pirate) - September (Ninjas will make an appearance but the class will come when we do our Ninja Training Village)
  
• Darkovia Parts III, IV, & V - October-ish?
  
• Live Events
  
• Daily Boss Battles
  
• PvP

Good luck against Carnivera the Venus Herotrap. Let us know what you think of the first Daily Boss Battle... and any fun ideas to take them to the next level as we add more!

The Warrior, Mage, & Rogue just got shiny new art. If you LOVED the old armor... do not worry, you can still get it at the Founder's Sanctuary. Soon, you will be able to quest from the class trainers in the town of Battleon to get the full sets including that pointy wizard hat, leather hood, and wicked spiked shoulder armor. Read the full class armor art sneaky peek post.

"Delightfully short, funny, battle-focused, and the cinematics are AWESOME."

Your story begins! Login and discover who you are in our world as AdventureQuest 3D's main storyline begins.




"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.




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.
