Heroes! An army of the walking dead is attacking town! We have set up defenses on the bridge just outside the Social District. Join us... build catapults & defend barricades to protect our town from the undead assault!




Talk to Defender Roland and Sarah Watterson (an NPC from the AQ3D Kickstarter). They just outside the social district of Battleon on the bridge. They will aid you in your defense with armor set crafting and defensive equipment.
New Defender Armor Sets & Title

• "Defender of Battleon" title (rank 30)
  
• Lotus Defender (full set craft at ranks 25-28)
  
• Lotus Siege (full set craft at ranks 25-28)
  
• Siege Defender (loot drop)

The invading force attacks in waves. The waves will get tougher.... build up your defenses wisely. Survive each wave of monsters, collecting defender medals to rebuild barricades and prepare defenses, and equip pieces of the Siege Defender armor set along the way to better defend against the assault. For every barricade left standing at the end of the war, a Siege Chest will spawn for the heroes.




Attacking monsters drop Defender Medals & other items to craft defenses. Grab em! Use them to buy extra help & weapons.




The undead cannot get past your barricades. Unless.... they destroy them. Which they can! So protect the barricades, they are your main defense. Building more of them is the best way to increase the war meter.




Blacksmith Sara Watterson has volunteered to provide you with defenses in this war. This includes cannons, catapults, and walls of fire! Use your defenders medals to purchase them and they will appear transparent on the map. Just click on where you want it to go and it will become a solid item. You can spawn Guardian allies at the teleportation pad which appears by the gate.



You can build

Barricade
Catapult
Flame Wall
Guardian Golem
Warrior Guardian
Mage Guardian
Rogue Guardian
Cannonball

Note: You'll find your completed craft items and hired help waiting in your tokens inventory.




Meet Roland in Battleon where he is recruiting heroes to defend our town from the undead. He also has Defender Rank quests and crafting for additional cosmetic armor sets. As you gain ranks as a siege defender you'll unlock new tiers of armor sets.

Max Defender Rank increased to 30!
Craft new Defender Armor sets
You can craft all of the previous sets too!




After a wave, you will get a siege Chest for each barricade left standing!

Head to the social district of town and head out the gate....

Defend our home from the undead assault...

Battle on!

Artix, Glisel, & the AdventureQuest 3D Team


P.S. Try not to get distracted by the giant Megalodon boss fight that you will have to pass on your way to the side gate.... (full disclosure, I stopped and fought him too)

Read the post at https://aq3d.com/news/summer_collection_war/

As you read this, your fellow players and I are at war against monsters.

We need your help!

..because, that epic-quality ice cream cone wand reward ain't gonna lick itself.

No... what? No...

Because the WAR METER at the top of the screen is game-wide!

That's right.

Game. Wide. Event.

Every server and every "Pointe Less Isle" across the game is sharing that exact same war meter...

That meter's updated live.

Hop in the game. Do Annette's "fight things" quest on Pointe Less isle to score points and drive that meter forward for EVERYONE.

It will take the combined efforts of you and the rest of the AQ3D community to reach 100%

....and unlock all of the rewards along the way.

...including that epic-quality ice cream cone wand. (Did you think we were kidding?)

This is a weekend long event, so join us quick!




We're trying something new O_O

This collection is linked to the war!

As the war meter gets higher, these items will become available for you to buy.

Not just the DragonCrystal ones... there are items you can buy with gold too.

Sure, you can still buy the entire 2020 Summer Collection as a bundle, get a badge, title, free permanent storage for it, save a massive amount of

DragonCrystals, and unlock all of the items instantly. But wait, there's more! You will get the warm and fuzzy feeling of knowing you are making our regular releases possible-- including our upcoming bow class, Ranger.

The newest version of AdventureQuest 3D (allows you to punt away-from-keyboard players from your dungeon and more features including...

Who forgot to update the customization screen that new players get in character creation! We did X_X. But not any more! Not it has all the fancy pants bells and whistles that the barbershop one uses. Also, we moved around some buttons for players on those shiny new big screen phones with super wierd sizes and the weird widow's peak camera location.

So there you are, in a public dungeon, about to take on ultra mega, super Dai Tengu.... and sure enough, that SAME PLAYER goes AFK on you for the millionth time!!! No more. The new vote kick system will allow you to punt them to make room for someone who is ready to swing their sword or cast their spells at your side.

• Click on their portrait... and click on Vote Kick!
  
• Or, you can target them and type /votekick <their character name> into chat
  
• Or target a player and type /votekick
  
• Available in public dungeons
  
• You can activate vote kick after 3 minutes as long as there are at least 4 players
  
• Vote kick requires 75% (rounded up) of player votes
  
• There are some anti-griefing measures
  
• This is a really good feature for the community, but, no doubt, someone will find a way to abuse it. When it does happen, their punishment will be swift, brutal and probably funny.

This feature was not near exciting enough to warrant that exclamation point. But we fixed that bonkers Lag Meter. Some times it seemed that meter has a mind of its own. Rest assured your ping times are 68% more... um, pingy! (Note: This is not the lag fix that we are working on. But it will give you a far more accurate picture of what your latency really is.)

Did you hang onto those coins from the live events!? The live event shop has been updated. Check out the shop on Serenity in Yulgar's In.....

Wait.

What!?

Why are these live!?

I DID NOT FINISH ENTERING THE NAMES AND DESCRIPTIONS FOR THEM YET!

....they were supposed to go live with the content release later this week.

O_O

Oh man...

I, uh... oh man....

Excuse me.

I gotta get to work on those...

(Feel free to recommend names and descriptions for them in the comment section below)

While the heroes of Battleon are vacation on the monster-infested Pointeless Isle, some of the monsters have come to our home town! Battle them for all new rewards.

Full story at: https://aq3d.com/news/shark-raid-o/



If you think the lure is creepy, have you seen the Deeplings!? Hop in game, get the lure, trident and blades by battling the boss in the social district now.



It is easy to get to. When you arrive in town... just walk left-ish into the next area. The Social district contains Shop of Oddities and will be where many future live events will be held.



Thank you to everyone giving us kudos on the Nature Guardian Tower release want live this week. The story was a bit dark-- we loved it too.



If you are not a Guardian yet and are looking for something new to do, we got you covered! The team just created these new rewards and added this boss fight to the Town of Battleon's social district for you.

See you in game...

Battle on!

An old tower was discovered in Heartwood forest. It appears to be the long, lost Nature Guardian Tower. But this place has fallen to an unspeakable tragedy. What happened here? What is in inside? Guardians, your quest is to find out...



Once upon a time, the elemental Guardian Towers protected the lands. They were a bastion of hope & peace. Every major area of our world was home to one of these legendary towers. Each was said to possess something of incredible power. We can only assume this is what they were "guarding." Today, only the Guardian Tower in our home town of Battleon remains. The fates and whereabouts of the rest of the towers is completely unknown. Well, "was" unknown... until now.



The 1st of the missing towers has been discovered in Heartwood. It is completely overgrown with plants and moss, but still magically sealed. Only Guardians can enter to investigate.



Solve the mystery and learn the secrets of the Guardians. This adventure's Boss Monster features new skills. Once the solo adventure is complete, return with up to five your friends for a challenge.



Quest for and collect the 1st of the elemental Guardian armor sets.



The story of the Guardians is told through the discovery and investigation of the missing Towers. This story runs in parallel to the main world story. You must be a Guardian (or upgrade to become one) in order to enter the Tower.



AdventureQuest 3D's main story and regular releases are (and will always be) free.
If you would like bonus rewards, & benefits including gear, a bigger inventory, and more content along with the warm & fuzzy feeling of knowing you are the reason our regular releases are possible-- please upgrade and become a Guardian! It is a one-time purchase. Permanently unlocks Guardian current and future Guardian rewards. Now is the best time to upgrade to Guardian, because we have that sale running which gets you 50% more DragonCrystals-- and yes, that will boost the number of DragonCrystals that comes with your Guardian upgrade.

Battle On!

Artix & the AdventureQuest 3D Team

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

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)

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

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.


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

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.

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.


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.


With so many new heroes joining us this week, wanted to re-port this helpful list of the top 15 things to do in AdventureQuest 3D.

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.

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.




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.



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

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

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.
Summer Sale!

Wait... you just did a sale. What if I bought in between them?

No worries. We got your back. If you missed our previous sale and ordered before this one... we just went ahead and gave you the bonus too! This way no one misses out.



We have a few new areas int he works. Next up is the Nature Guardian Tower which will at long last begin the Guardian storyline.

https://aq3d.com/news/adventure_menu/



(Literally, we have Plunger items now >_>)

Thank you so much for helping us build AdventureQuest 3D. This week's new release is a SUPER CHALLENGING one. It adds a lot of new features to the game which will be amazing in future releases. As always, we will be listening to your feedback and making changes.
