This week we’re swabbing the decks, hoisting the sails, and getting ready to fly the black flag, all in preparation for Talk Like a Pirate Day! Now that Pointe Less Isle is relatively shark free, Annette decided to head back to the beach. There also are two new item sets you’ll be able to find in treasure chests, and Gunpowder Mary is making her explosive return to Battleon! Read on to find out more...



Gunpowder Mary is back with a bang! Talk to her in Battleon to get previous Talk Like a Pirate Day collections, dare ye fly the black flag and wear the piratey sets?



Move with the shadows in the new Eclipse Assassin set, or hold the line with the Garnet Garrison set. You can obtain these new sets from treasure chests starting now!



Thanks to your efforts, the sharks are retreating from Pointe Less Isle. Annette is heading back to enjoy the shark free beach, but what will they plan next year?



The team got together and decided the finale needs to be the best it can be, so we’re delaying it for a short while. We’re committed to quality, and hope you support us making this decision! After the epic conclusion of the Sandsea Saga, we’ll also be releasing new gear sets purchasable with Sandstorm Capstones (infuseable up to +20!), and another Challenge fight.
In the meantime... Talk Like a Pirate Day begins next week (around September 19th) with new quests and new rewards. And we’re finally ending the DC sale at Midnight on Tuesday the 14th (EST), so don’t miss out!
 
Battle on!

Get a-head with our new Kittarian (feline) and Zobekian (crocodile) head morphs added to AdventureQuest 3D. The Guardian Tower has also added a new armor set for the Mages in their ranks. And if you have caught up with the Sandsea Saga, you will recognize the oversized Djinn weapons Gaz is now selling for a limited time!



Head on over to Mysterious Johnson’s House of Oddities, or Gaz’s Black Market near the gates of Battleon right meow and purr-haps get your paws on one of the new Kittarian Head Morphs, or if you feel like croc-ing out, there’s the new Zobekian Head Morph too!

• White Fur Kittarian Head Morph
  
• Tan Fur Kittarian Head Morph
  
• Brown Fur Kittarian Head Morph
  
• Brown Scute Zobekian Head Morph

If you’re lucky, you can also find the following Head Morphs in chests

• Blue Fur Kittarian Head Morph
  
• Blue Scute Zobekian Head Morph

But wait, there’s more! Each of the new Kittarian and Zobekian Head Morphs also includes a tail! As if you didn’t have enough reasons to go and get one now, right?

Gaz has somehow braved the Sandsea and convinced the great Khal-No’Bir to let him sell copies of the Djinn’s giant arsenal! Are you up to the challenge of wielding such massive weaponry?

• Giant Djinn Sword
  
• Giant Djinn Blaster
  
• Giant Djinn Bow
  
• Giant Djinn Hammer

Gaz will offer the Giant Djinn weapons for a limited time, but the weapons can be purchased from Khal-No’Bir, too, in the lobby of the Great Pyramid!


That’s right, the Guardians Mage Battalion are searching for recruits who show a talent for magic (and not the kind involving bunnies or hats). Head to the Guardian Tower Shop, bring your Mage Class Tokens to prove your worth, and be granted the esteemed Guardian Mage Set.

• Guardian Mage Armor
  
• Guardian Mage Gloves
  
• Guardian Mage Hood
  
• Guardian Mage Shoulders

Next week we return to Sandsea for the saga’s grand finale. After his ruthless betrayal, will Lord Sekt succeed in getting his wish granted? What awaits you in the Keeper of Death’s Ethereal Pyramid? Will Voidrakar appear to complete Vane’s plan? All those answers and more, next week in the Sandsea!

Battle on!

P.S. The Summer War event will be ending next week, and Annette will be taking a break from Battleon to make room for the annual #TLAPD event. Get your Summer gear while you can!

Khal-No’Bir has some new tricks up his sleeve in his new challenges, such as teleporting you out of his room, clouds of death throughout his labyrinth, and a timer that’s slowly ticking down to… Probably certain doom. Win the challenge, and you will be rewarded with Djinn Challenge Treasure! Khal-No’Bir also has a chance to drop some Epic new loot, such as Khal-No’Bir’s Crowned Turban and some Menacing Djinn weapons...



Winning one battle can be a matter of luck, but can you handle successive victories in a day? Defeat Khal-No’Bir twice in a normal fight, and twice in the challenge fight, and you’ll be richly rewarded!



Khal-No’Bir has another quest for you… and this one you can repeat as many times as you please! Try to clear out his army of Spectral Mummies and Mummy Guards on your way to fight him in his Labyrinth, and earn Djinn Essence, gold, and valuable experience!



You’ve faced him once, but not at full power! Find your way through the twists and turns of The Labyrinth of Persistence, activate the crystals, and face the wrath of the Djinn once more. Watch out for his variety of Area of Effect attacks that deal massive damage, don’t stumble into the clouds of death throughout the labyrinth, and be ready for him to teleport you away. Make sure you stock up on potions, and don’t forget to dodge!

Joined an instance with just a few people? We’ve got some tips for How to Survive Khal-No’Bir:

• Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
  
• Dodge the AOEs
  
• Bring some potions
  
• Don’t dally in the dungeon! Move quickly and get back to the fight.
  
• Watch out for the death clouds in the labyrinth.

Defeat Khal-No’Bir in his NEW challenge to accrue Solar Djinn Stones. Use these to upgrade the Sun Keeper armor set you’ve spent the whole saga collecting into the new Fallen Sun Keeper set. However, you can only earn the accompanying sword from the Djinn Challenge. Each set piece features a +15 Infusion cap, putting this set on par with the Void Sharken set. And just in time for the Sandsea finale next month…

A suit of armor modeled after the one worn by Sairus, Sandsea’s fabled Keeper of the Sun. The Fallen color scheme symbolizes the Keeper’s fall from grace during her last days in Sandsea…

• Fallen Sun Keeper Armor
  
• Fallen Sun Keeper Belt
  
• Fallen Sun Keeper Boots
  
• Fallen Sun Keeper Cloak
  
• Fallen Sun Keeper Gloves
  
• Fallen Sun Keeper Helm
  
• Fallen Sun Keeper Pauldrons

Upgrade your Mystical Djinn armor set to the new Menacing Djinn set. This set is red to match the menace of Khal-No’Bir in this challenge. The new menacing weapons are spectral in form and are rarely bestowed by the Djinn himself to those who earn it in combat.

• Menacing Djinn Robes
  
• Menacing Djinn Belt
  
• Menacing Djinn Boots
  
• Menacing Djinn Gauntlets
  
• Menacing Djinn Shoulders

• Menacing Djinn Bow
  
• Menacing Djinn Blaster
  
• Menacing Djinn Hammer
  
• Menacing Djinn Sword
  
• Fallen Sun Keeper Sword

See you in halls of the Labyrinth!

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 Holster

• 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

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...

- 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!

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!
