World famous treasure hunter, Valencia, wants you to explore a hidden tomb with her. She says she'll split the treasure with you 50/50. Who knows what's in there...
https://www.aq3d.com/news/hidden_tomb





Hop in game and talk to Valencia in town, or simply click on your Adventure Menu, to travel to the hidden tomb! This special preview area of the Sandsea Desert is an extended version of our daily bosses. It has a short story, treasures, and a few interesting secrets for players level 15 to 30.





Seems you're not the only one to discover this tomb. A group of Sobekian Tomb Raiders are already trying to fight their way inside the tomb. These half-croc warriors are not exactly known for "sharing." They do have a chance of dropping their weapons.




Feel free to drop your favorite "Yo Mummy" jokes on Artix's Twitter... @ArtixKrieger




Created by Llusion, this tomb map is small, but... you should be careful to explore it thoroughly.




This is one tomb you do not want to leave empty handed. In fact, you should leave with giant golden fang fists.




In certain places within the Sandsea desert, this staff has more uses than just clobbering monsters.

The weapon art for this release created by Dage, Thyton, Darkon, and Winnie... modeled by Xero.




As Valencia says, "The world's full of treasure, and it's our duty to find all of it!"

We hope this short adventure gets you some awesome loot, and excitement for the Sandsea Saga. We will be encountering (and working with?) higher ranking Sobekians and their Pharoah as we raid our way through the forbidden Pyramids. But first, the new Fishing and trade skill system is getting ready for testing this week! Also, there is still time to take advantage of our extended 50% bonus sale. Be sure to keep an eye on the official www.AQ3D.com posts for the latest.

Battle on!

The village of DragonWatch is under attack! Creatures from the Void... known as the Voidrakar... are obliterating everything in their path. This gives you, a hero returning from the land of the dead, an opportunity for payback against Vane, the Void King. I mean, that guy did throw you half way across the continent. Be careful though, this was no random attack... the Voidrakar are there for a reason!

https://aq3d.com/news/dragonwatch/




The village of DragonWatch is guarding a secret... the fact that this town is literally named "DRAGON WATCH" might be a clue. The Guardians are holding off the monsters to give the villagers time to escape. But they need your help.





If you are just joining us now, and were not here for the world events when the Void King burned our town to the ground, this release is for you. It tells the missing story between the game's intro and when you finally arrive in our home town. This main storyline release will introduce the creatures of the void, and the one responsible for creating Vane's minions. Also, DragonWatch is an extended tutorial for new players. Which makes sense, because this is where new players will land after Vane throws them.




Empire? Legion? Horde? No... the best way to define the horrifying creatures of the Voidrakar, is with the word "Host". These creatures do not kill you, they hollow you. It is the only fate worse than death. The negative space that you leave behind becomes filled with the will of the void. And they will not stop. Not until everything that you know, love, and treasure... becomes nothing.




Some would argue that alchemy requires equivalent exchange. Heh. Skarn says, "Hold my philsopher's stone". He is the Void King's alchemist and a true believer in his cause. He creates his monsters using the power of the void. You may be scratching your head, "Isn't the Void... nothing?" Yes, Skarn literally creates these monsters... from NOTHING.




Use your Adventure Menu to go the village of DragonWatch. Want to help us improve the game? When you play it, imagine seeing it for the first time through the eyes of a new player. Comment in the post below with what you liked and what we could do to make it even better.

P.S. There are some side quests in Heroes Bend, the area that connects Dragonwatch to the Town of Battleon. I get the feeling Cysero had pasta for dinner when he was writing those... O_O

What's your favorite class? Paladin, Ninja, Ranger, Necromancer, Dragonslayer, Berserker, or one of the others? You can now collect and rank every class all the way up to 100! Along the way you will unlock new Legendary armor pieces, items, and the Legendary Class title & badge.
https://aq3d.com/news/100_class_ranks/




AdventureQuest 3D allows you to collect classes and switch between them at any time. Are you raiding a dungeon and need heals? Switch to Paladin or Guardian. This gives you the power to change how you and your group play on the fly. And just playing as a class automatically earns experience for it.... which will rank it up! In fact, you will unlock skills, passive abilities, an ULTIMATE, and even a cross skill just by reaching rank 10! Now you can continue ranking up to 100 unlocking new rewards...




You can become legendary in your class by ranking it all the way up to 100! It happens passively as you battle, the longer you play a class. It is not meant to be done in a single burst of play. It is intended to reward you over a long period of time as you play your favorite class. Along the way, you will unlock pieces of the new legendary class armors and weapons, and unlock the "Legendary" badge for that class once you hit rank 100!




Our artists created a legendary version of EVERY class armor in the game. If you see someone with these items equipped... they are the real deal. You can see which items you unlocked in your class menu, and you can pick up the items on your class trainer.




These ranks are the solution to the common request of wanting some progression in between releases and level cap raises. There is no more wasting experience when you have reached the current level cap. If you are a long time player at the current level cap too, it feels really good to progression like this again.

• All Classes now rank up to 100
  
• You now get bonus rewards for playing your favorite class over a long period of time (this happens passively as you battle, no quests needed)
  
• Class tokens are awarded at each rank
  
• Legendary Armor Pieces unlock every 5 ranks (from ranks 15 to 50)
  
• Legendary Class Title unlocks at 100 (Super long time to get!)
  
• Legendary Badge unlocks at 100 (Did we mention this takes a super long time to get?)
  
• To keep it fair for casual players, all rewards after rank 10 are cosmetic or for status, not power.
  
• Each rank requires more Class experience than the last. (99 to 100 is BRUTAL)
  
• This is NOT a single sitting quest! Class rank rewards above 10 are designed to reward you as a dedicated player.

This release is live on all devices along with the newest version of AdventureQuest 3D. Your quest toward becoming a Legendary Ranger, Berserker, Rogue, Mage, Dragonslayer... everything... has begun!

Battle on!
Artix, Glisel & the AdventureQuest 3D Team

Reminder: This is not meant to be a burst grind. This release was created to reward you passively as you battle over time. No matter how you do it, be sure to have fun!

Everyone's favorite black market vendor rode to town square with dragons. Lots and lots of Dragons. His cart is right at the entrance to town-- can't miss him. Also in the news, terrible footwear, the dreamer is now actually a bow, the Voidrakar will soon begin their obliteration of our world, and also something about a secret order of people who worship shrubbery?
https://aq3d.com/news/dragontravelforms/




One of our awesome custom weapon tier Kickstarter backer, created a bow before long before we had real bows in the game XD A lot of people have been asking if it could be turned into a bow. Just so happened that last week, while hanging out in game I ran into the backer on Pointeless Isle. We talked about it and got permission to add a bow version. We are not changing the original version, because many people who possess that weapon wanted to keep it as is so they can equip it with any armor (not just Ranger.) Currently, the new version is available in the treasure chests.




The Voidrakar have one goal... to wipe everything you know and love from ever existing. As they prepare their assault on our world, finding the correct words to describe them is challenging. They are not a legion, horde, nor an army. They are best described as a Host. The assault on Dragonwatch is currently in production. It is the missing chapter between your first encounter with Vane and the town of Battleon.




A Mythical Derpricon has been spotted in the social district. It appears randomly in between the Megalodons. This creature has a chance to drop some really.. uh.. stylish footwear. The pretty pink pony shoes were a constant recommendation to me on social media by a player eager to complete a full pony/brutralcorn set. When Winnie said in the artist chat on Monday, "I am open, need anything?" I immediately responded, "How do you feel about pony shoes?" When talking about game devs listening to their players... did anyone ever stop to ask, "should they?" XD




Thanks for all of the bugs and issues you reported during testing of the new Class Rank system. We made all of the fixes and are currently testing newest version on the PTR. The new system allows all classes to continue ranking up all the way to 100... unlocking Legendary armors, items, and a title along the way. It is not meant to be a one sitting task. It is meant to passively reward you as you battle monsters with your favorite class. Our next release window is Tuesday. Keep your fingers crossed! Also, the new Fishing system is going up for testing this weekend on the PTR too! Combined with the Tower of Necromancy and the Pyramids of the Sandsea desert, we have some great stuff coming your way.

Finally... because I am so bad at keeping secrets. If Gaz is in town square. What is in that spot where he used to be?

Battle on!

• Necrotic Bow - Doomwood - Stygis Crafting
  
• Plunder Seeker - Lolosia - Lolosia Blacksmith
  
• Arcane Recurve Bow - ArcanGrove - Arcangrove Sentinel
  
• Winter's Arc - Frostval - Frostvale Village Crafting

• Living Branch Bow - Heartwood - Heartwood Ranger Gear
  
• Guardian Bow - Guardian Tower - Fortes' Guardian Crafting

Talk to Stygis in Doomwood to craft this horrifying double stringed skull bow. Created by Thyton, the intention was for the arrow to shoot through the mouth of the skull. +100 bonus points for bow creativity.



You are able to craft this pirate bow in the port town of Lolosia. Talk to the Black Smith there. Using the pirate ship style ropes to hold the bow together, and a skull and cross bones hand guard comes from the creative mind of Dage the Evil.



Head to the mystical forest of ArcanGrove and find the Arcangrove Sentinel. They will teach you how to craft this magical bow. The hand guard is a magical shell like spell and the string is pure energy. Also created by Dage.



Travel to Frostval in the frozen north.... and find your way to the Frostvale Village. There you can craft this bow made of wood and enchanted ice. Created by Winnie!



Is it true that Vampire's suck at archery? I would not recommend finding out. The bat themed Bloodsworn bow can be found in Darkovia Castle. Look for the character that lets you do Monster Stalker Crafting. By Dage.


The bow of choice for werewolves can also be crafted in Darkovia Castle. This feral bow is tough... and by the looks of it, requires Lycan strength just to pull. (Art by Dage)


Not a Vampire nor Werewolf (yet?) ... than you should seek out the Ironwood Bow. You can craft it in Darkovia Forest. Now, you just need some silver arrows. (Art by Thyton.)


If you are a Ranger who is walking the path of peace and balance, head to the World Tree to find the Shaman Bow. You can create it using Soothsayer Crafts.


By far the nicest smelling of the bows in this release. Probably because this bow is living, covered with nature and flowers. Travel to Heartwood forest to craft the Living Branch Bow.


Craft this infamous ninja bow on Yokai Isle through Ninja Weapon Crafting! (Art by Darkon)


Guardians should report to the Fortes in the Guardian Tower to create their bow. It forced from the same metal used to create the Guardian Blades. (Art by Dage)


Nah, you have the freedom and control to be anything you want in AdventureQuest 3D. Nearly every player in this picture is a ranger! You control how your character looks and plays. Collect classes, items, and cross-skills, switch between them at any time.


The Ranger Class release has been getting rave reviews and we are hard at work making it even better. The artists have a second wave of bows coming including the Ashfall bow, the Death's Lair bow, and more. We are also working on the new fishing & trade-skill system, guilds, the Tower of Necromancy, the Sand Sea Desert, raising the max rank of classes with new rewards and titles, and the main storyline featuring the creatures of the Void. Keep your eyes on on the news at http://aq3d.com for the latest official news!

Our first bow class is finally here! Hop in game and talk to Robina to being your Ranger training. AdventureQuest 3D allows you to collect classes and switch between them at any time. Here's everything you need to know...
Read the original post at: https://aq3d.com/news/ranger_release/

The Ranger class is a new Tier 1 class which exclusively uses bows. Rangers are cunning hunters, trackers, and guides who have found their calling outside the cities and villages of Lore. These agile adventurers wander the natural landscapes, bow in hand, learning the ways of the wild and living off the land. Each attack accumulates Focus that can be used to execute more powerful shots.


This is a very versatile soloing class which can snare foes and rain arrows down upon them.

• Trapper's Instinct (Passive - 25% damage increase to immobilized creatures)
  
• Auto Shot (at 100 Focus, next shot will Critically hit and grant Swiftness)
  
• Empowered Shot (a single arrow that can pierce through multiple enemies in a line)
  
• Rain of Arrows (a volley of arrows that pierce through multiple enemies in the area of effect)
  
• Bloodthorn Trap (summon vines that Root and Poison all enemies that enter the area of effect)
  
• Arcane Archery (Ultimate - Arrows explode with arcane energy, granting extra focus per enemy caught in the explosion)
  
• Disengage (This is a Cross Skill which can be equipped with any class once unlocked - An evasion skill! Launch an arrow while leaping backwards to put some space between you and your foe)

This week, you get your starter bow! It is the only bow available today in Robina's "Ranger Class Gear" shop. Next week... you will be able to craft new bows from around the world. Check what are artists made for you in this sneak peek Bow art post.


Which one will be your BBF? (Best Bow Forever)
The Ranger class only uses bows. (Just like the Pirate class only uses pew pews.) So, when you switch to Ranger, your bow will be equipped automatically. We wanted to make switching between classes as easy as possible. Especially now that we have multiple classes that use unique weapons.... and are planning for more in the future.


Robina is waiting to train you in Greenguard Forest! Start Ranger training with class quests and dailies, and turn in some of those class tokens to start building up your Ranger class gear!

How to travel to Greenguard Forest? Lots of options...

• Just walk out of town... she is standing on the road.
  
• Use the Adventure menu
  
• Use the Travel map
  
• Use the portal
  
• Be super ultra lazy, have a friend there and use their summon code to portal to them XD

[url][/url]
AdventureQuest 3D version 1.52.0
This week's new game version includes Apple login, Bow support, and more. We're calling it the "William Tell" release XD
See what is new.



We hope you love this new class. It is a pretty easy one to get, and a super fun one to play. Thank you for supporting AdventureQuest 3D's weekly updates. We have been making progress on the next adventure areas... keep your eyes for monster, item, and world previews!

Oh yes. In fact you should head back to Pointeless Isle and craft summer gear in all of the new colors including.... Dark Summer & Orangecicle. Mmmmm. Craftlicious.




While in game, drop by and see Winnie in town. Be sure to talk to her about crafting the new High Inquisitor & Bluebell armor sets.

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)
