Battle Concert! Grand Opening of the Battleon Arena

The event begins next Tuesday, August 13th, 2019.
Click any photo for more info...
To create next week's AdventureQuest 3D Battle Concert event we converted the band members of Korn into video game characters. Who the heck's soul did we sell to make this happen!?
Get your Magic Ticket!
Login to AdventureQuest 3D. Head to town and talk to either of the Korn special event promoters. They'll give you a free Magic Ticket that you can use to teleport to the event.
At least it will when the event starts next Tuesday.
Jump into the most brutal mosh pit ever next Tuesday!
Going to be in the pit with us? We are so excited. What class will you be using? Login, grab your ticket, and get ready. The battle concert with Korn in BOTH AdventureQuest 3D & AQWorlds begins next Tuesday (August 20th, 2019).
Thought you might enjoy seeing some concept art for our upcoming areas. This first one is for the next part of Lolosia which will be releasing in September.
Seems like we will be exploring the wreckage of a ship.... but how will we get underwater?
Oh... O_O... well, that escalated quickly.
This is the Mosh Pit Maruader armor. Technically, it is not concept art since it is done and ready for release along with the Grand Opening of the Battleon Area on August 13th
We will be taking our live events to the next level with our very first special musical guest.... (Cross your fingers, razor blades, or tentacles for us.) We have been burning the midnight oil trying to get this massive and very complicated release ready in time.
Oh... you know what. Normally, the main website gets all of the newest news first. But you deserve a first sneak peek on steam... so this next one is for you.
The Palace on Yokai Island! The next installment of our pirate filled town of Lolosia will take us to home of the Ninja. Yes... the age old feud between Pirates and Ninjas will soon be rekindled.
UFO sightings are flooding in! The truth is out there. (Mostly in Gaz and Aria's shops.) The time has come to make first contact... we are NOT alone.
Latest Sightings include...
UFO Travel Form
UFO Pet
Alien Juice
Area 51 Secrets
If you read Cysero's Area 51 design notes post last week and were excited about the possibility of alien-themed items coming to AQ3D... You are not alone! We've got something for all those who believe the truth is out there. The post got such an enthusiastic response (and great item suggestions) that Xero worked quickly to put together these two fun spaceship items for the release! This week was the FULL GAME upgrade to the newer version of Unity which includes 64-bit support for Android devices. This means for the past week the team has been "content locked"-- that is, we were unable to add anything new until after the update went live (which it should be now). So Xero and the team got these in just in time.
To Infinity...!
The Area 51 Flying Saucer travel form moves at light speed. Actually, it moves at 160% movement speed which is standard travel form speed, but that's still pretty quick. You can buy the permanent travel form from Gaz's Black Market Shop for DragonCrystals. Alternatively, questing in Barrow Drop will also let you earn Alien Juice, a consumable potion which turns you into a flying saucer. Barrow Drop is in Barrow Point, located down the path directly right of Robina in Greenguard.
You are the Alien
You can also opt to have a flying saucer companion by purchasing the Area 51 pet from Aria's Pet shop. This seems like a perfect idea for those of you who already have green or blue skin -- or your flying saucer travel form can be the mother ship XD.
Alternate Names for this release
I sorta feel like we need to do an entire Area 51 zone. Maybe in September? O_O
Here were some of the alternate names for this release.
War of the Cross-Platform Worlds
Invasion of the Barbarian Snatchers
The X-.DOCs
MIB: Mages in Black

Feel free to come up with your own in the comment section on the full post :D
The Trials of the Mage are where you decide. In today's new AdventureQuest 3D release, return to Arcangrove and take on a new challenge fight and a daily quest where you can craft the two most epic sets of armor in Arcangrove. (And yup, they are Epic Quality Level 27 sets!)
Are you a Good Mage?
Go to Archmage Arziir for the challenge fight, daily quest, and armor set crafting. Be the first to earn Archmage Arziir's personal armor set which is a level 27 with purple (epic).
...or a Bad Mage?
During the challenge fight and daily quest you will battle Voidmage Exvidius. When you have collected enough Grove Essence (yep! Another Essence farm) and the mage... scraps... you can also choose to craft his armor instead. This armor set is also level 27, epic quality. Thank you for all of the amazing feedback on Arcangrove forest! Along with this addition of these challenge fights and craft-able armor sets, we also released a new version of the AdventureQuest game client which which includes several improvements, and steath features for a BIG release we have coming up in early August.
You are finally able to enter the Tower of Magic! It's majestic interior will have you spell-bound.
Travel across Arcangrove Forest to enter the Tower. Talk to Rayst in the Tower to begin the story quest and meet the Archcouncil.
The ArchCounil of Magic
Here, the post powerful mana users from the different schools of magic gather. Including...
Archmage Arziir
The Archcouncil is led by Archmage Arziir. You want help finding the weapon powerful enough to defeat Vane (and unlock that second rune) but Arziir is hesitant to share the Tower's knowledge. He is willing to strike a deal though. Everyone has a problem an intrepid adventurer is willing to solve.
Where in LORE is Tyrus Kel?
You need to gather clues to decide where in the world Tyrus Kel may have gone. His last known location is in the Restricted Section of the Library, but... It's restricted. There are no invisibility cloaks to help you in this story, so you're going to have to cut another deal. For some reason, there is no magic solution for dealing with the Tower of Magic.
Tyrus Kel, the Heretic
The Archmage Arzzir sends you out to find the Heretic called Tyrus Kel who stole a book from the Restricted Section of the Tower's Library. You will travel to all of the places you got to visit in the preview in this search. But you're not the only one looking for him, and not everyone will be helpful along the way.
Sindria and Unicorn Glenn
You couldn't talk to them in the preview, and they don't plan on saying much now; but you'll get the information you need. Yes, *they* talk to you and Unicorn Glenn's mean mug isn't just for show.
The Ornithon Camp
Find out why Tyrus Kel spent a lot of time in the Ornithon Camp. You will also have to fight some mushroom men who are much more aggressive than the ones in the Dragon Graveyard. Be careful adventurer.
Exvidius
A mage so bad nobody would keep him... Except the Void King himself. He's looking for Tyrus the Heretic too.
Into the Dungeon
Your search will lead you into the Crimson Bog. A new dungeon! You will have to fight through Crimson Circle magi and powerful monsters. This was not part of the preview since it is also a turning point in the story. So enjoy!
No Spoilers!
We won't divulge the rest of the story. That's up to you to find out. But you will learn about the various other kinds of magic that exist in LORE, even if the Archmagi Council doesn't approve of them. You will also find out the secret that got Tyrus Kel labeled a "Heretic" and cause him to draw the attention of Vane's cronies.
We extended the Summer Sale so you can still take advantage of it until the end of 4th of July weekend. But this is your last chance-- buy any DragonCrystal package and instantly get 50% more DragonCrystals. Use them to get the 2019 Summer Collection, stock up in advance for Talk Like a Pirate Day, or simply take advantage of the best deal of the year so you are ready for anything.
Meanwhile... the next AdventureQuest 3D release will be the entire Arcangrove Saga! Enter the Magic Tower, and embark on an adventure that will lead you to discovering the source of all Mana in our world...
The newest version of AdventureQuest 3D just dropped, and with it... a preview of the magical forest of Arcangrove. Login and explore new areas filled with unicorns, bird-people, and magical treasures.
Rayst the Elder Evoker
Use the travel crystal to get to Arcangrove. Upon entering the magical forest, you will meet Rayst. He is an Elder Evoker. In case you were wondering, his title of Elder Evoker means that he is of the 1st rank of Magi who are allowed access to the Restricted section of the Tower of Magic. When you talk to him, he will give quests to earn pieces of his set.
The Tower of Magic
Coming with the release of the full Arcangrove Saga... you will enter the Tower of Magic. This week, you can speak to the Sentinels who guard it. They will give you quests to earn Crescent Wolf Armor.
Cresent Wolf Armor
The forest of Arcangrove is stalked by arcanwolves. But there is ONE monsterous wolf, that is larger than them all. It is the Crescent Wolf. It is a more powerful wolf inbued with the power of the blue moon. When a cresent wolf falls in battle, a new arcanwolf is chosen to ascend. At this point it receives its crescent blades which it weilds from its mouth. Because... it's a wolf. No hands. We checked. You may have seen Craft the full set by doing the quests from the Sentinels who guard the tower.
Unicorn Glen
It's real! It's really... really real! The magical place from your sister's fairy books. Except you can fight them. You know. For loot.
The Herbalist Cabin
On the Arcangrove side of the Unicorn Glen border, you can find Vesta the Herbalist at her cabin. Craft 6 new items and ingredients (for quests or for purchase) including Unicorn Dust and Brownie Parts. (Brownie like the dessert? Or brownie like the creature? YES.)
Not much else was divulged about Vesta, so I guess we'll find out together.
Meet Todd the Derpicorn
Oh the majestic sights you will witness in Unicorn Glen! But none is so... *gulps* articulately animated as Todd the Derp'icon. This beast is officially the toughest monster in the world.
(You may have accidentally experienced Todd the Derpicorn pre-release, thanks to a spoiler event by our new programmer Dagger. Todd was drawn by Dage, animated by Korin, and is pride and joy of the AQ3D team.)
Maximum Animation
He is "hoofs-down, our most animated monster ever." Dage did the art and Korin did the animation. Together they made a truly derpy monster. Farming Todd the Derpicorn is also required to loot hard-to-find items, but he's very hard to kill (level 31!!!), so get real comfortable with looking at that derp face.
You might also spot a certain unicorn bro. You know who I mean.
Yet another map!? Find the Ornithon Camp.
"What is an Ornithon?" I (Glisel) asked Cysero. "Birdperson. Like in the bank," he said.
Well, that explains why General Polly is a Guard Parrot. When you talk to Polly, you will find level 27 weapons (with stats!) available, and all created by Thyton. For 25,000 gold each; except for a special craftable weapon called Dark Destiny. Now you have something to do with those millions of gold you've accrued for the past 25+ levels! Let me just say, when Cysero mentioned a chakram, I got very excited. And then I saw the chakram and I'm all giddy. I'll gladly shell out gold for that beauty. The other weapons are beautiful too, but this is my fave.
The Ornithon Camp itself is filled with Ornithon settlers and large tree houses. I'm not ashamed to say it took me awhile to realize how to get up into those tree houses. Well... maybe a little... but I can't take it back now.
Coming next in the full Arcangrove Saga release!
We hope you enjoy this preview of Arcangrove. It is something to hold you over while we finish the cutscenes and maps. The next Arcangrove Saga release will be the full story release. For all of you LORE lore lovers (see what I did there?). You will find out the source of LORE's magic. You will be able to enter the Tower of Magic to continue your magic training. Specifically mana-based magic (Because there are other types... like dragon magic and void magic). You will also learn about the Council of Magi who are the governing body of all mana-based magic in the world.
Battle on!
Glisel & Artix (We wrote this one together for you!)
P.S The Moglins are shipping! We have packed 6,000 Moglins so far and about 3,000 of them have been shipped. Read the post here.
P.P.S Yes, we put , we put those level 1 starter boots back in the game. But we are not telling you where... >_<
Moglomancer is a new class that will be available for all players to earn. It was the big, final stretch goal from the Moglins Kickstarter. If you backed the Moglins Kickstarter, you get early access to the class starting now. If not, you still have time. We are shipping the Moglins now.
Moglomancer Class Skills
It is a really fun class to play, and these new skills are going to add a lot of fun to the game.
Zorbak's Bane Call upon Zorbak to empower your weapon, dealing heavy damage and strengthening nearby allies. Increases your attack until another Moglin is called.
Twilly's Blessing Call upon Twilly to heal all nearby allies. Auto-attacks heal allies and drain mana until another Moglin is called.
Twig's Seal Call upon Twig to enchant your weapon, silencing your target. Auto-attacks regenerate mana until another Moglin is called.
Passive: Moglin Reach Unlocks at rank 4... increasing the size of all area effect abilities
Ultimate: MOGLIN PUNT Rear back and pummel a Moglin through your enemies. Don't worry, they enjoy it. The Moglins, not your enemies.
Cross Skill: Blizzy's Blizzard Blitz Blizzy's Blizzard Blitz is the the Moglomancer's Cross Skill. Summon Blizzy to slow all enemies nearby. Once unlocked you can equip this on any class. We will be improving the functionality of this spell next week.
27,000 Moglins just arrived at our lab
If you have been following my Twitter or Facebook, then you probably saw photos of that truck filled with 27,000 Moglins that showed up at our "Secret Underground Lab". Which... also a secret... is apparently on the second floor XD. The entire dev team went into the sun *gulps* and worked together to unlock the truck and bring the Moglins in. We are, as you guessed, in the early stages of a packing and shipping frenzy this week. It is a pretty big deal. This is the largest order of physical products we have ever shipped out of the lab. We were surprised at how awesome the Moglins turned out. Their colors are perfectly vibrant and they are even better than the prototypes.
Each Moglin includes a code that unlocks a matching in-game Moglin plush pet in AdventureQuest 3D. Late backers have one final chance to get them with all the Kickstarter rewards.
When will Moglomancer be available for all player's to earn?
The quests to get the full Red Moglomancer set will not be released until the Moglomancer class goes live for all players. Currently it is in early access as promised to the Moglin Kickstarter backers. After the early access period ends, this class will become available for all players to earn along with the quests for the Twilly-themed red Moglomancer armor set. Like our previous early access classes, we expect this to be roughly a month.
Coming next: Arcangrove
Next week's major story release is the magical forest of Arcanegrove. It is home to the Tower of Magic. Unlike our previous multi-part Sagas, we are doing Arcangrove story in a single release. Hope you enjoy it.
The Sentinels of Arcangrove are mage knights who protect the Tower of Sorcery.
"Warrior Days... Mage Knights!"
Here is a sneak peek of Dage's newest armor. You will find it in the upcoming enchanted forest of Arcangrove.
The Secret of Magic
In Arcangrove's story, you will learn the secret of our world's magic. I probably should have checked with the team before saying this, but at the center of Arcangrove's story was the original main storyline of AdventureQuest 3D: Legend of Lore. Cysero has been furiously writing the narrative for weeks now. As you may know, he wrote the original Arcangrove in our 2D MMORPG, AdventureQuest Worlds. This, is a much deeper story... figuratively and literally.
Meanwhile... PvP! 1 vs 1 Duels are live in AdventureQuest 3D. Have you watched some duels or tried it yet?
