AdventureQuest 3D - Artix von Krieger


UPDATE: This event has ended. Thank you to everyone who came.

Join us in game at noon, 3pm, 6pm, & 9pm EST!
Hang out with Artix & the Team this Thursday in game! Relax and have fun. We will be online every 3 hours to live spawning monsters, telling stories, and dropping treasure.

All four of the events tomorrow are free, unscripted, live, and... really, truly, honestly, anything goes! (You were warned XD)

How do I join in!
Easy. Hop on AdventureQuest 3D at the following times. Keep a look out for Artix's red server-wide announcements which will tell you where the event is taking place.

USA East Coast (EST / EDT) - Noon, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm (Our lab is here)
USA West Coast (PST) - 9am, Noon, 3pm, 6pm
Brazil (BRT) - 1pm, 4pm, 7pm, 11pm
United Kingdom - 5pm, 8pm, 11pm, 2am
France - 6pm, 9pm, Midnight, 3am
Philippines - Midnight, 3am, 6am, 9am
Australia - 2am, 5am, 8am, 11am

What to expect O_O
If you have never been to one of these before, then... come join us for some fun. Get your screenshot key ready and expect lot of monsters, photo ops, and bizzare things you would never see happen in NORMAL game play. Artix & the AQ3D team will be talking through yellow text that appears at the top of your screen, and live spawning monsters to every room participating in the event. Sometimes the team will "re-broadcast" messages from players. You just need to be there. Periodically, Live Event Coin chests will be spawned. These contain super rare coins which can unlock some live-event only gear now... and soon, will be able to use live event coins to rank up some exclusive items.

It should be said... that these live events are somewhat dangerous. They are interactive and unscripted. So do not be too surprised if Artix makes his infamous typos revealing the staff-only commands or accidentally crashes the server for a bit (it's happened in the past.) Who cares? Let's just have fun :D



Hey PC/Mac players! Want to help test the Nature Guardian Tower?

While you wait, the upcoming Nature Guardian Tower has just been released for testing on the PTR (AdventureQuest 3D's Public Test Server). Currently, this testing server is only accessible via STEAM. We are working to add Android and other devices for future tests. No matter how you look at it, more testing = good! All testers will be able to enter and test the Nature Guardian Tower in HeartWood during this test on the PTR.


QUESTION!
Any special monster requests for Thursday's live event? Post them as a common on our official website post:

It's almost Summer... let's go on vacation early!

You and all of your friends are hereby invited to a relaxing, sunny, and slightly monster-infested getaway at Pointe Less Isle! Enjoy fishing, random monster spawns, new item drops, and crafting.



Random Boss Spawns

The island is known for random boss monsters to appear.... and there are new drops and crafting!



Hey, these items seem kinda fishy to me!

"Fish ears, sword fishes, shark stuff and... hey! are you playing Koi with me?"



Gone Fishing!

You can fish on the isle once you are high enough rank.



Faith, the fishing trainer is on the isle now...



Oh yeah! You are going to need some serious fishing skills on the isle. Be sure to rank up your fishing in the Pirate Town of Lolosia first!



You can get to Pointe Less isle using your travel map, or by talking to Annette in town.



The isle is a place to chill. There are places to sit, hang out, and many creative players come up with their own games.



Brand New Items

All of the new items in this release are drops or crafting that can be earned. We also returned the seasonal summer items.

  • Undersea Cape
  • Fishe Axe

Have fun & Live Events next Thursday!

Have you ever been to one of our live events? A live event is when Artix or the other devs spawn monsters across the game during a live interaction with all the players online. It is pretty fun and often "anything goes". Sometimes we drop special treasure boxes too. Sometimes Artix tells stories. On Twitter last week, we figured out that we could hit almost every time zone if we did the live events at noon, 3pm, 6pm, and 9pm EST. So we would love to give it a shot next Thursday. Hope to see you there! I will do a post on you breaking down the times for different time zones early next week on the https://www.aq3d.com website. Well, we will post it here on Steam too of course XD.

Tower of Necromancy Item Sneak Peek
While we work on the boss fight and floors... here is a sneak peek at one of the rewards coming in the Tower of Necromancy.


Nature Guardian Tower to be released on PTR for public testing!?
We would like to try something new for future releases.... starting with the upcoming Nature Guardian Tower. Before the live release, we would like to release it for you to try out on the Public Test Server. Only Steam users are able to access it... using that drop down menu when you right click on the game. We are currently finishing the tower and planning on putting it on the PTR next Friday. That will have it available for testing over the weekend... we will fix any issues on Monday and then do the LIVE RELEASE on Tuesday. If this format works, it will become the "new thing!"

...the Battleon Siege will be returning next week while the finishing touches are added to the tower.

Thank you and.... New secret command!
Do you remember when the VoidKing and his minions burned our previous Town of Battleon to the ground? We defended our old home the last board. Then proved what we were really made of when we rebuilt the town. We rebuilt that little town into a city! But a lot of long time players miss that old town. Did you know they used make up and play party games like Hide-and-Seek, Fort Hunters, and Infected there? There were plenty of tall bushes, high walls, and pillars to hide behind or jump on top of to stay out of reach. We miss it too. Quench thy thirst for nostalgia! Or check out the history of the game if you just recently joined us. Simply type /join OldBattleon into chat to teleport there. Enjoy and use the travel shard in your inventory to teleport back to the current town when you are done.

See you in game.

Battle on!

Call of Gloopy: Sewer Warfare

A Player vs Parkour Challenge

Hop in the slime filled sewers for this team vs team parkour challenge. You will be randomly placed on either the Jumper or Defender team. The jumpers have 10 minutes to find and activate three purple valves somewhere in the sewer. But it won't be easy. The defenders are there to mess with them by springing traps! At the end, everyone will be teleported to a special boss fights that drops loot to craft rewards with.



Go to to the sewers

You will find the enterence to the sewers in the Scholar district of the home town. You know, if you go past the port and go right-ish into that area where Warlic's magic shop and the Trainer Hall is. There, you will find a sewer with a giant slime named Gloopy. Talk to it to see the rewards and learn more.
Jumpers



This parkour map features floating barrels, spinning gears, and all kinds of new things never seen in previous challenges. The sewer splits three ways. You and your team might want to split up and try to reach the objective at the end of each path. Warning! This new map was created by our most notoriously evil level designer. So expect to hit the respawn button a lot! XD
Defenders



Do you dream of making other players cry? If you are randomly placed on the Defenders team, you get to trigger traps. Activate valves to trigger the traps. Pay close attention to the colors of the vales. It gives a clue as to which trap it springs. You can also teleport around to get in a better position to stop the jumpers.


Boss Fights & Rare Item Drops!

A match lasts 10 minutes. Then, everyone is teleported to boss fights. The winning side gets better loot. Use the items these Boss Monsters drop to craft special plumber armor and plunger weapons. Oh... I nearly forgot to mention the Rate item drops? The Boss fights at the end all have a chance to drop rare items. They have a chance to drop regardless if you are on the winning side or not.

These prizes include...
  • The Golden Plumber Plunger
  • Slerg's Rod



Glisel leveled up... and made you a gift for her birthday!

Head to Winnie's tailor shop in town to get the new outfits Glisel made for you... for her birthday.

https://aq3d.com/news/glisel_birthday/

How to get the items

Get the Items at Winnie's Tailor Shop in town!



There are two sets. The Green set is sold for gold in the "Glisel's Birthday Shop" tab, while the purple and blue sets are in "Glisel's Birthday Crafts". To craft them, you'll just need some dye and feathers.

Sci-fi/fantasy fans rejoice!

It is the 4th, and as per tradition we are celebrating with a brand new collection of parody items. Each piece is uniquely ours, but inspired enough to make our lawyer's cheeks clench a little. Hop in game, check it out, and get in the spirit. "Make it so... number one."

INSIDE JOKE: Several members of our team have been responding to every May the 4th comment with a random Star Trek line. We do not judge. We are enthusiastic fans of all of the above.
Craft the BLACK HELM set!

GAME WIDE MONSTER HUNT!
There is a game wide monster hunt that will allow you to earn the hilarious oversized Black Helm Set. Yes... >_> a parody of a parody. Equip it and use the Mage to cast fireballs like a Flame Thrower. "The kid's will love it!"

Don't look a Wooden Gift Horse in the Mouth
Join us in AdventureQuest 3D this week and Quest for the new Wooden Stallion travel form, play the Heartwood Hunt challenge, and earn the Cryptodirax armor and items!.



Wooden Stallion Travel Form
Crafted from the living tress of Heartwood and given magical life through its magic. Want to make one? Find Audin the Travling Merchant in Heartwood. She has a new daily quest called "Gift Horse" to help you collect the ingredients needed to craft this 160% speed travel form.




Fixed & Live! The Heartwood Hunt
Finally, you can learn to become a behemoth hunter and earn the Cryptodirax armor and items. Of course, you will have to defeat the Cryptodirax-- which was bugged due to a glitch in one of the new gameplay features. We fixed it and its working now! Begin your adventure by talking to Drak in Heartwood forest. Where is he? Not far. When you enter HeartWood go left. You will see him under a canopy of yellow-leaved trees with a tiny cave behind him. Go into the cave to start the adventure!



Heartwood Hunt Items
The Cryptodirax armor set can be built from the drops off the creature. Its stat power when it is crafted will be at your level minus one (minimum level 7). You can also purchase the Razorshell Turtle Pet from Drak.




Daily Boss Maps Fixed
Earn the Haximus set. Monsters on all Daily Boss maps are now behaving normally and arriving on time again. And the Sunken Ship Challenge is poisonous once again. XD

Want to know why? Read the original post here.



Less than One Week Left!
Just a heads up. There is only a week left in the DragonCrystal bonus "flash sale" thingy. Support the game by buying anything in AdventureQuest 3D and get 50% more bonus DragonCrystals. It is a crazy good deal. But it ends this Monday (May 4th, 2020).




Monday is "May the 4th be With you"
This Monday is May 4th... and our yearly sci-fi/fantasy celebration of "May the 4th be with you" returns. We have a game wide monster hunt and a collection of parody items. Including one ridiculously oversized Black Samurai-looking Dark Lord helm.



Thank you and reminder...
We hope you enjoy this Wooden Stallion and Cryptodirax release. Thank you for your all of your encouragement and support.

So, question for you... have you ever wanted to go treasure hunting in the Ancient Inverted Pyramids of the Sandsea Desert? Asking for a friend. XD

Become a Behemoth Hunter!

Find Drak, the Behemoth Hunter, in Heartwood Forest. He has two adventures where he'll teach you the ropes. Literally. Learn how to build a crafting table, create traps, and bait the Razorshell River Turtle in a special challenge adventure with new rewards including pets and a full epic quality set of Cryptodirax items.... including that cool back shell item in the pic far below!
https://aq3d.com/news/heartwood_ruins_challenge/



A Craft & Hunt Challenge

Once you have mastered the basics, gather a party and use what you learned to take on the giant Cryptodirax in the Heartwood Forest Challenge. Plus, unlock a new stat armor set to craft and the Razorshell Turtle Pet!


Hey Elite Players! You won't blast through this release in 10 minutes... promise.

This is a very fun and fair new challenge map. It was created for you by Llussion. He has a long history of adding new gameplay mechanics in his maps... and all of us on the staff who are testing it fell in love with this release. Hope you do to.



Drak, the Behemoth Hunter

You'll find Drak in Heartwood Forest under a canopy of yellow-leaf trees. He's eager to show you how to become a behemoth hunter. You can also visit unlock the epic Cryptodirax Armor set (with stats!) to craft and the Razorshell Turtle Pet after completing the dungeon.



Cryptodirax Armor Set w/ Stats

The new items in Heartwood drop around your power level... including the new Cryptodirax set. When crafting the pieces, they will complete at your level minus one, with a minimum of level 7. So, if you are currently level 30, it will be level 29. BUT if you are under level 7, it will be level 7 because that is the minimum.



The Heartwood Forest Dungeon


Drax's tutorial mission

In the dungeon, Drax will show you how to hunt behemoths. There are new skills to learn like chopping trees for wood to create a crafting table, and learning how to make the docile Razorshell River Turtle become hostile to fight it by using bait and traps. This acts as the tutorial for the challenge where you're on your own. You must be at least level 7 to enter the dungeon.



The Heartwood Forest Challenge

Gird your loins, because this one is a real challenge. The Heartwood Forest Challenge takes the basics of the dungeon tutorial and applies them on a grand scale to the giant Cryptodirax, a type of Razorshell Turtle. You'll see this creature coming as it crashes through the trees, but you can't fight it while it's docile. You must use the skills you learned in the dungeon on this real behemoth of a turtle. Stock up on traps and bait. If you can't hold its aggro, it will run away and you'll have to track it down again. It may take a few tries to get a hang of this one, but it's worth it. You need the drops from the Cryptodirax to craft the Cryptodirax Armor with stats.


Rogues now Duel Wield and other things improved this week!

  • Rogues now Dual Wield
  • New, improved, Eclipsion Travel Form animation
  • Skeletons got an art upgrade
  • Class Images (in your class menu) Updated
  • We fixed a lot of stuffs too!
