With the lamp reassembled, you are now able to enter the Djinn’s chamber. Seek the Djinn of the lamp, Khal-No’Bir, within the Great Pyramid, navigate the labyrinth inside, and collect the four hidden crystals. Activate them to be granted entry to Khal-No’Bir’s chamber and defeat him. Deliver the final blow to him and the wish is yours...

Getting to Khal-No'Bir won't be easy, as the Djinn waits for you at the end of a spellbinding labyrinth deep inside the Great Pyramid! To complete The Labyrinth, you must navigate through its treacherous multi-colored halls to find a means to power up the doorway to the Djinn's Chamber. Luckily for you, Lord Sekt is willing to impart on a clue that may help shine a light on your path to Khal-No'Bir...



The Keeper’s Treasure reward chest contains Djinn Essence (crafting material), with the possibility of additional items such as Mystical Djinn weapons and the final piece of the Sun Keeper set.

• Sun Keeper Armor
  
• Sun Keeper Helm (final piece of the Sun Keeper set!)
  
• Sun Keeper Cloak
  
• Mystical Djinn Sword (cosmetic)
  
• Mystical Djinn Hammer (cosmetic)
  
• Mystical Djinn Blaster (melee cosmetic)
  
• Mystical Djinn Bow (cosmetic)

Turns out the Djinn comes with a Rematch Clause. This Daily quest rewards you with 10 Djinn Treasure if you can best him again. This treasure can be used to craft garments and accessories fit for a Djinn.



Use your Djinn Essence and Treasure to craft the Mystical Djinn armor set. The set includes:

• Mystical Djinn Robes
  
• Mystical Djinn Belt
  
• Mystical Djinn Boots
  
• Mystical Djinn Gauntlets
  
• Mystical Djinn Shoulders

Camp Gonnagetcha is here but there is no new Shrade and no camp war. You can craft all existing camp items now and still grind the Shrade monsters for those super rare drops. Just head to Yulgar’s Inn and talk to Dottie, the High ArchCounselor. New Friday the 13th content will now happen in the new evergreen (permanent) Cabin in the Globe.
Note: You may see a new Shrade-like monster pop up in Live Events, so keep an eye on our social media.



We're just a few weeks away from not only the story's conclusion, but also a new endgame challenge! This challenge will be your means to attain a new Best-In-Stat armor set with a +20 Infusion cap! And who knows, maybe there'll also be a Legendary weapon for you to find too... Guess we'll find out in September!

Battle on!

How do you feel about spooky cursed artifacts? The 1st one has JUST arrived at the House of Oddities. (You know, that weird shop located in the social district of town.)



Welcome to the start of an all new tradition. On all Friday the 13ths Spectacular Mendretti will send in a new cursed artifact (When he remembers to pay postage) to Mysterious Johnson’s House of Oddities. See the first one, a cursed globe full of evil Dreadites today!



Slash Catch’em, legendary hero and Dreadite Slayer extraordinaire, has been working with Mysterious Johnson in his House of Oddities, facing hordes of Dreadites in the Odd Globe to prevent them from escaping to wreak havoc all over Lore! Talk to Slash Catch’em in Battleon to learn more about fighting the Dreadite demons and use your Dreadite parts to craft some slashy gear. Good, bad, he’s the guy with the Noisemaker!



Help Slash collect em’ all! There’s a lot of Dreadites out there; some small and squishy, and others big enough to easily squish you. Slash is kind enough to help you get familiar with all the varieties and take down a few of each! Help him out by slashing and/or catching a total of TWENTY ONE Dreadites of different kinds, and he might be nice enough to give you a brand new Slashy Coupon to use in his Pet Shop!



Kul’Zandar is one big, bad, evil Dreadite, and is the driving force behind the potential Dreadite invasion! Hack and slash your way through the Cabin and spill enough Dreadite ooze to summon Kul’Zandar. Once he’s been summoned, you’ll face a giant Dreadite with a variety of Area of Effect attacks that deal BIG damage. Make sure you stock up on potions, and don’t forget to dodge. He also has a veeerrrrryyyyy small chance of dropping an extra special pet!

Joined an instance with just a few people? We’ve got some tips for How to Survive Kul’Zandar:

• Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
  
• Dodge the AOEs
  
• Bring some potions
  
• Get real close to Kul’Zandar’s nasty face
  
• Don’t forget your Noisemaker!

Be cautious when exploring the world inside The Odd Globe, as you may run into the horrifying Gnarled Dreadzard! IF you manage to slay this gargantuan creature, you have a chance to obtain a haul of Dreadite Remains, some Zandarian Grimoire pages, or you may be so lucky to obtain one of three rare pets...



Well hello Mr Fancy-greaves! After you’ve put down the Dreadite menace, return to Mysterious Johnson’s Shop to turn in your quest and take your gooey Dreadite Parts to the Cabin the Globe crafting shop. You will be able to craft seven new weapons and a fresh set of Dreadite Slayer armor! Try to keep the ooze off of your new threads, yeah?

• Dreadite Slasher Armor
  
• Dreadite Slasher Belt
  
• Dreadite Slasher Boots
  
• Dreadite Slasher Collar
  
• Dreadite Slasher Gloves

• Dreadite Slasher Plates

• Dreadite Slasher Chain-Axe
  
• Dreadite Slasher Dual-Saws
  
• Dreadite Soul-full Greatsword
  
• Dreadite Soul-full Staff

Help Slash cull the Dreadites enough and he might show you how to tame a few to keep as pets... Can’t say that’s a smart thing to do, but who are we to judge? Just make sure you lock your cellar at night, or they’ll swallow your soul!

• Lil’ Dreadzard Pet
  
• Hangry Dreadzard Pet
  
• Shiny Dreadzard Pet
  
• Dinky Dreadite Skull Pet
  
• Flying Dreadite Skull Pet

• Dreadite Evil Sapling
  
• Dreadite Evil Tree Pet
  
• Shiny Dreadite Evil Tree Pet

Camp Gonnagetcha will also be making a return next week. Also, May the 4th shops and Commander Mogrevious have left Battleon until next year.

The all new Friday the 13th posters for AdventureQuest3D and AdventureQuestWorlds will be available to order at https://aq3d.com/umbraco/HeroMart.com on, you guessed it, Friday the 13th! Don’t forget to get it while you can...

See you in game, at the cabin inside that cursed globe O_O....

- Fixed an issue with shops not displaying item details.

Not caught up on the Sandsea Saga, yet? Don’t worry. Players of all levels are welcome to join this fight. The new Sandsea Daily Boss fight just went live. Join us online now for a taste of the Sandsea city of Bastion and some of its deadly desert creatures with great rewards!



Scratch is the half-cat Kitarian from Battleon. He recruits high level heroes to adventure in the Sandsea Desert. You will also find him in this week's new Sandsea Daily Boss fight. Talk to him to learn about the “Pest Invasion” and get a look at the exciting new items you can craft with your rewards.



It is super easy. Just open your side menu (you know, the one with three lines) and go to the adventures tab.

It’s Smacking Day! Every so often the town of Bastion will become overrun with critters from the surrounding Sandsea desert. The residents have created a holiday to reward people for helping to put a smack down on these invasive critters. You’ll need to smack twelve small critters and one big critter. Accept this quest and, for your help, you will receive a Daily Boss Trophy and extra Bug Parts which can be used to craft new items.
 


Spikarox is one big critter, if you can call it that. It is a giant golden scorpion with a deadly poisonous sting. This critter not only poisons you but it spawns baby scorpion minions to do additional damage. Oh yeah, and did we mention Area of Effect attacks? You might want to stock your hotbar with potions and healing spells.
Spikarox itself may drop special items including the Broken Telson which is needed to begin crafting the Telson Daggers.
Joined an instance with just a few people? Glisel and Rellik wrote some tips for How to Survive Spikarox with a Small Party:

• Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
  
• Keep moving/Dodge
  
• Prep a lot of potions
  
• Must have a healer of some type
  
• Use AOEs when baby scorpions are spawned
  
• Try not to trigger attacks from the other monsters in the map

After you have given a big smack to Spikarox, return to Scratch to turn in your quest and take your Bug Parts to the Spikarox Crafting shop. You will be able to craft four new weapons and a fresh set of Sandsea armor and a belt. All of these items can be upgraded to Epic rarity in the crafting shop with more Bug Parts and the base items.

Crafting Items

• Telson Daggers (requires “Broken Telson” drop to begin crafting)
  
• Sandsea Curved Knife
  
• Sandsea Dual Bladed Scythe
  
• Sandsea Polearm
  
• Cochineal Oasis Armor
  
• Cochineal Oasis Belt

See you on Smacking Day!

Battle on!

At the end of Part 6, a Sharken-like creature caused a literal stir in the Valley when it reportedly ate the Phara-Keet Pyramid’s treasure room, absconding with the final lamp piece. So it’s time to wrestle up some bait, craft a bundle of poison-laced harpoons, and board Squint’s skiff for a special creature expedition to settle the score with this thieving monstrosity! After you’ve reported back to Sekt, head back to Battleon. Cysero’s Forge has new sets and items to craft, and the Chest Shop in your menu has 2 new sets including Dage’s Oni Syndicate set as well as lots of colorful Butterfly Wings.


Behold the beast brought forth by the Voidrakar -- the Void-Sharken! Azella has somehow hollowed a Sharken to do the Voidrakar’s bidding. Is there no limit to the Voidrakar’s power? No time to think about that while the last piece of the lamp lies in the belly of this monstrosity! Load up your harpoons and be aware of your surroundings. This beast is vicious!

Open the Chest Shop for a chance to start collecting Dage’s new Oni Syndicate set. Dress the part of one of Lore’s toughest crews and defend your turf against anyone who dares to defy the Oni Syndicate. Make your foes tremble at your appearance with one of four distinct Oni masks, one of which may look very familiar to longtime AE players. If you’re lucky, you might get the Legendary Oni Syndicate Armor or Katana, each flowing with Oni energy.


Get your head in the clouds (or in the mountains?) and prepare for a showdown with the armor sets of rival factions Red Cloud and Blue Brass sets from Cysero’s Adventure Crafting shop. And hold on to your Daily Boss Trophies so you can craft the new Arcane Jester set at Cysero’s Daily Boss Crafting shop!


Get your nets ready, ‘cause it’s time for Winnie’s Changeling Butterfly Wing crafting! Combine all eight butterfly wings to create a marvellous color-changing set of wings at her Tailor Shop in Battleon. Collect them all from the Chest Shop and Cysero’s Forge!

Sandsea part 7 has been released! Head to the Sandsea to continue your quest to find the remaining Lamp piece.
Brand new items now available in the Daily Treasure Chests!

-The Quest compass will now be able to point towards an NPC that has a travel option which takes you where you need to go.

Sandsea part 6 is available! Enter the Gar-Feld Pyramid and get lost in its depths.
New items have been added to the Summer Collection and Gaz has restocked his shop! Check out the Design Notes at www.aq3d.com for all the latest info.

-Fixed an issue with the Gar-Feld maze timer remaining on screen when leaving the dungeon.
-Fixed an issue where debuffs were not applying / falling off correctly and giving players the incorrect stat amounts.
-Fixed the previews of the new Jellyfish Pets to show the correct colors.
-Summon spells now work with no target selected.
-Updated the Guild creation text to say 100 member limit instead of 20.
-Updated some UI elements to be less blurry.
-Fixed some issues where game music was not being played at the correct volume.

Seek out the second piece of the magic lamp by journeying into the Sand Pyramid, the former home of Gar-Feld, Keeper of Sand. Prepare to think fast when you enter, as the creatures within will not be your most pressing concern. Do you have what it takes to find your way into Gar-Feld's treasure room? If so, you'll find more than just the lamp waiting for you.

And when you’re inside, you’ll realize quickly why Gar-Feld was called the Keeper of Sand. Be mindful of the dangerous quicksand and sand walls... unless you're well equipped.



Trounce the threat in the treasure room to claim the Lamp! Inside the treasure room, you'll find that Gar-Feld has left a surprise or two (or three) waiting for anyone who dares to claim the lamp piece. Don't be fooled by the threat's statuesque appearance; it's more nimble than you think and eager to play a game of cat and mouse...
Should you succeed, you'll have a chance to collect more than just the lamp: Two new pieces of the Sun Keeper set (belt and pauldrons) as well as a fancy new Stone Statue Sword and Stone Statue Dagger.



Venture back into the pyramid to claim a special travel form! After you've completed the Sand Pyramid, be sure to talk to the guard outside the pyramid. He'll have a new daily quest for you: "Have Fragment - Will Travel". The guard will ask you to re-enter the pyramid and collect a fragment from the statuesque foe(s) inside the treasure room. What he'll do with the fragment isn't dentist-approved, but the end result will lead you on your very own Gar-Feld Statue travel form!

Gaz has collected some new items for his cart. Some items you may have seen before but some are brand new!

• Auroid the Golden Jellyfish Pet
  
• Alabaster Kittarian travel form
  
• Gator of Mischief Pet

• Golden Scorpion Pet
  
• Icy Royal Scorpion Pet
  
• Fire Royal Scorpion Pet
  
• Onyx Croc Guard Figurine Pet

• Archangel Knight Wings
  
• Archangel Knight Sword

• Headless Horseman (travel form)
  
• Fire Neck (helm)
  
• Taco Axe (weapon)

The Vetroid Jellyfish Pet now comes in two new colors!
Note: Inaccuracies in the in-game item previews will be fixed in the next game version update.

• Vetroid the Pink Jellyfish Pet
  
• Vetroid the Emerald Jellyfish Pet

Like the look of the Bastion locals? Kai-Lee now has six Kittarian travel forms for sale that will help you blend in, plus one is hidden away in the daily chests. And make sure you stop to talk to the Gar-Feld Pyramid guard for an extra special travel form.

• Azure Kittarian
  
• Chestnut Kittarian
  
• Ivory Kittarian
  
• Khaki Kittarian
  
• Umber Kittarian
  
• Sandy Kittarian

• Gar-Feld Travel Form

• Cerulean Kittarian Travel Form

Calling all Guardians! Head to the Guardian Tower in Battleon to collect your Guardian Aura. This aura has a 30 minute duration… WHOA! Fortes has yours in the Guardian Class Gear shop now!


Seek and destroy a new terror in the Sandseas!
The Voidrakar’s attack on the ruins continues, but additional croc guards have yet to arrive! Every attempt by Lord Sekt (really Chombi, if we're being honest) to call in extra guards from across the Sandsea has failed… Why? Because a mysterious creature has attacked every skiff transporting the croc guards to the ruins… But now skiffs aren’t the only thing this creature has its sights on; it’s after the treasure in the Pyramid of Phara-Keet.
 
Battle on!
Glisel, Artix and the AdventureQuest 3D Team

P.S. Hi there! I (Glisel) made the graphics this week :D Artix was in a day long meeting with Zhoom on the next features for the game and our other graphics designers were unavailable. That's also why this was late going up. I hope you like them!
