It is the grand opening of Aria's Pet Shop in Battleon and you are invited to come and find the perfect companion to accompany you on your adventures through AdventureQuest 3D.

• New Map - Aria's Pet Shop in Battleon!
• New Pets - 14 brand new pets that you can buy with Dragon Crystals!
• Craft Pets - 15 brand new pets that anyone can craft by doing Aria's quests!
• New Quests - Aria's Pet Shop Rank quests unlock new craftable pets!
• New Daily Quests - Aria's Daily Quest give you Pet Feed used to rank up and craft!
• New Titles - Rank Up get one of 3 new titles and character page badges!

Finally, Aria has put down her phone and opened the pet shop! (If you just chuckled at that, consider thyself a worthy and legit AQ3D Beta player.) Talk to Aria and get to know her a bit. She has appeared in almost all of our previous games, but I get a sneaking suspicion she will play a larger role in AdventureQuest 3D's story.


Did you miss the Kickstarter? Were you waiting for that Paypal option? You can still get the Moglins through BackerKit. As of this week, every Moglin stretch goal including Molgomancer class has officially been unlocked! Check it out...


I was completely shocked at how many pets the team got into this first release. There are dailies to unlock free ones, as well as ones that require you to "pony up" some DragonCrystals. Also, just wanted to let you know that I saw all the comments about "too many daily quests". It seemed fitting in this specific shop, but we will counter balance this by adding a lot of more traditional questing in the next releases.


A wedding is about to take place in the King of the Vampire's Castle. It's not going to suck. But it probably will. Cause, you know. Vampires. Darkovia is about to get... darker. BYOB (Bring your own Blood).

Battle on!
Artix &the AdventureQuest 3D Team

P.S. Tweet me @ArtixKrieger on Twitter with pictures of your pets in-game!
P.P.S. We also snuck /join greenscreen and bluescreen maps in this release for all of your meme, wiki, and video creators. If you ever get stuck, remember you can use the temporary menu based travel system to get back to town.

Aria's passion is saving, helping, and matching the little animals of Lore with worthy heroes. She runs the petshop in town which will open its doors in an upcoming release. Here is a sneak peek.



Aria is slightly older in AdventureQuest 3D. Her story, following in the footsteps of reintroduced characters like Galanoth the Dragonslayer, will be somewhat deeper and surprising.



If you cannot wait for the Pet Shop to open, you can buy ghost pets in our special seasonal event... just head to the town of Mystcroft.

The Bacon Egg in the 2018 Pirate Collection has finally hatched into this adorable pirate piggy pet who will stay by your side through rough seas and braken attacks.



You can still get Poopdeck as part of the 2018 Pirate Collection which is only available around Talk Like A Pirate Day every year. Be sure to pick up your pirate piggy before he sets sail!

Darkovia Part III is live! ...or undead. At long last we enter the Vampire's stronghold.



Meanwhile...



AdventureQuest 3D's seasonal limited-time Mogloween event with a new area... the Town of Mystcroft! There are loads of strange new items to earn and craft.



Be sure to check out this year's new collection. Thyton's Mummy design is equal parts awesome, horrifying, and nostalgic. The RIP ROD travel form is probably the best thing we ever made.



We really hope you enjoy the Vampire King's Castle. If you have not played through the storyline of Darkovia yet... this haunted October season is the perfect time. Next, the fangs of the Lycan's (Werewolve's) lair awaits us.



Battle on! - Artix

Get these two classes before the new DoomWood is released. Just like DragonSlayer & Pirate you will be able to earn them through in game quests in an upcoming release. Classes are unlocked with class tokens... and then additional class tokens are used to unlock class gear.



The pathway to the haunted Mystcroft mannor has once again opened! New players can catch up before this years new expansion to Mogloween is released.

Here is what is coming...



Did someone say, Trick-or-Treating?



Also in this release, our final early access class class for Legendary Tier Kickstarter backers goes live: Ninja. Qualifying backers will find it unlocked in their class list on all devices.



I wrote you a design notes post while getting a Root Canal at the Dentist...

Yes, I literally wrote this on my phone while the dentist was drilling me. This post is exactly why they let me write design notes.

See you in game. Battle on!

There's a shipload of amazing new craftable items which can be earned through our new deadly challenge fights!



Braken Slayer!? OMG! Look at that beard...



Shark head, tail, fist weapons, cannons, crossbows....



The Pirate Town of Lolosia is now filled to the brim with challenge fights! After you have completed the main story, walk around and talk to everyone in town to see their items and challenges.

Is Taco Day a thing? Because Gaz is in town selling a... well, I think it is an axe.

The time has come, fans of fins. Today we go Fishing in AdvenureQuest 3D! Head to the Pirate Town of Lolosia and talk to Faith...

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!
