"IT’S YA BOI, BLAZE! YOU READY TO GET LIT FAM?"
Happy Birthday Blaze! This week’s release marks the very first Blaze’s Birthday Bonfire in AQ3D. We’ve been hard at work preparing for this, with FOUR different Blaze’s to fight, FIVE armor sets, THREE new pets, a new travel form, a new aura, a new gifting item, and a very special summon...



Who is Blaze?
"A long time ago the raw element of fire was threatening to consume the world in flames. Blaze sacrificed his body to control the flame, imbuing him with the power to control fire, ensuring it does not consume the world. The flame slowly burns away at his body and when he uses his power, there are severe consequences. He wants to be a light to the world, but the brighter he burns, the shorter his wick."
Blaze in real life is a programmer and game designer for AdventureQuest 3D. His passion is in embracing the community and enhancing the social aspects of our game. You can follow him on Twitter at https://twitter.com/BlazeAQ3D



Fire Starter
Are you a Fire Starter, twisted Fire Starter? Prove it with this HOT new gifting mob! Use the “Fire Starter” item to summon the Gifting Fire. This large sentient flame fights people and gives out gifting rewards. You’ll be seen as a hero to your friends for spawning and fighting these, so start a fire and help put out other fires if you see them!
Drops:
  • Wide Blaze’s Calling Card
  • Wide Blaze (Pet)
  • Flamewalker Armor Set Pieces
  • BlazeCoins
  • Blaze’s Hot Feet Aura
  • Unbreakable Flamewalker Armor set pieces
  • Sturdy Flamewalker Armor set pieces
  • Spellforged Flamewalker Armor set pieces
  • Reinforced Flamewalker Armor set pieces
  • Hot Streak
But What's a Hot Streak?!
Are you feeling lucky and rolling hot? Obtain this rare drop from the Gifting Fire and gain the ability to summon the Gifting Inferno! The Gifting Inferno fights people and gives out all of the same rewards as the Gifting Fire, and even more special rewards at a much higher drop rate.
Hot Streak unique drops:
  • Blaze’s Flame Pet
  • Cinder the Obsidian Blaze Pet
  • Cinder Travel Form
  • Blaze's Bapper (pay close attention to its Stats)
  • A chance at yet another Hot Streak!


The Blaze Boss Variety Pack
The flames spread around the Social District as 4 Blaze’s appear, spreading the burning joy and and love! Keep an eye out for Big Bad Blaze, Wide Blaze, Shadow Blaze, and you might catch a sighting of a super rare Blaze boss.

  • Flamewalker Armor set
  • Unbreakable Flamewalker Armor set
  • Sturdy Flamewalker Armor set
  • Spellforged Flamewalker Armor set
  • Reinforced Flamewalker Armor set
Blaze’s Bapper and the War on UwU
"UwUse your head"
Some are aware of Blaze’s disdain for UwU and OwO, and to those that share this sentiment he has made available copies of the mighty Blaze’s Bapper.
Printed in the heavens above and rolled in the fires below, Blaze's Bapper truly is a relic of untold power. In the great UwU war, Blaze's Bapper was told to have bapped at least 10 million on the head. UwU's and OwO's fear this mighty weapon.



Illuminate the Shadows
Talk to Blaze in the Social District, assist him with a new daily quest to face Shadow Blaze, and be rewarded with BlazeCoins!



BlazeCoin Gift Shop and Blaze’s Birthday Shop
"Stranger! What are ya buying?"
Talk to Blaze in the Social District and browse through his wares.
  • BlazeCoin Gift Shop - The only gift you are guaranteed to receive for defeating one of Blaze’s Gifting Fires or Infernos is BlazeCoins. These tokens can be used to purchase pieces from the Flamewalker armor sets as well as Blaze’s Bapper weapon.
  • Blaze’s Birthday Shop - This is where you can buy the Fire Starter for DragonCrystals, as well as many of the gift items in case you don’t want to wait on luck.


Community Events
Looking for a group of friends to celebrate the birthday bonfire? Blaze has coordinated with our AQ3D content creators to have spawning events for the community throughout the week. Check out the schedule to see when and where to find the events.



Other things!
It’s barely been gone, BUT NOW IT’S BACK! Get 50% bonus DC from any package once again! This time it won’t stick around for a full year, so get your DC packages while you can!
Mogloween NPCs will be leaving but you will be able to get to the Masquerade by going to the Cemetery. The Archiducissa Weaver is waiting there to lead you to the ballroom.



Coming soon, Black Friday and Cyber Monday!
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are just around the corner. Be sure to keep an eye on our wonderful artists’ Twitter accounts as you patiently await for the shops to arrive in Battleon next week!
See you in game.
Battle on!

Bonus XP Weekend, now with Class XP!
It’s all in the title! Play from Friday November 12th, 12PM EST and earn bonus Class XP as well as Player XP in game!


PvP Class Changes
Ranger
Ranger's big AOE spell often takes too long to apply its damage, giving targets more than enough time to move away. This should help Ranger's damage stay more consistent.
Ranger
- Rain of Arrows
* Applies damage over 3 → 1.8 seconds

Ninja
Though it may sound appropriate for a Ninja, we felt the class has too much "hidden power" lurking in its abilities. We're taking some of the more passive power away from a couple spells in order to make sure that skillful play is required to get the full benefit from Ninja.
- Tempered Blades
* Max stacks Attack +30% → +21%
- Smokestep
* Removed bonus dodge chance

PVP BUFFS
Ranged and support classes are currently underperforming in PvP, so we are using the class-specific buffs to make adjustments. Currently we have a Melee buff, and we're adding 2 more categories: Ranged and Support. Classes that cover multiple categories will receive the buffs from both. The only exception is Mage since the class is already doing quite well in PvP.
- Melee Buff
* +15% Max Health
* +10% Movement Speed
* Moglomancer now receives both portions of this buff instead of only the movement speed
* Received by Warrior, Rogue, Guardian, Dragonslayer, Paladin, Ninja, Berserker, and Moglomancer

- Ranged Buff
* +10% Damage
* Received by Healer, Ranger, Pirate, and Necromancer

- Support Buff
* +20% healing output
* Received by Healer, Paladin, and Moglomancer

PVP SPELLS
We're overall pretty happy with the variety of PvP Spells in use, though we want to encourage more healing from support classes (from the PvP Buffs) while not increasing fight durations too much, so we're lowering the heal from Recover. We also want Swiftcast to have usage on more classes than just Mage, so we're adding some Auto-Attack speed to make it more attractive.
- Recover
* Health recovery 15-30% → 10-20%
- Swiftcast
* Now increases Auto-Attack Speed by 30%


Next week, a HOT new release
It’s Blaze’s Birthday Bonfire! He’s taking over the Social District in Battleon with a massive conflagration of monsters, unique items, and all of the FUN! Keep an eye out for it next week, it's gonna be fire. In fact you could even say it's lit.
See you in game.
Battle on!

"You think you’ve defeated me? You can’t even begin to imagine my full power!"
Skorpienne is back, bigger and badder than before! You’ll need to gather your most powerful friends to help you face her at full power in The Temple of Death…
The Temple of Death - Raid
Defeating Skorpienne in The Temple of Death is no easy task, with multiple phases to battle through, and new tactics that will end the fight if you fail to defeat her. Be careful, and don’t get overwhelmed by her armies! Shatter her Destruction Diamonds before she destroys the whole Temple and defeats you all.
Pick up some quests from Sekt before heading to the Great Pyramid to join the Temple of Death raid. We used a similar queue system to the Battle Arena. Make sure you have at least 751 total average power equipped. Skorpienne will only face worthy opponents. When all ten players are ready, you will be teleported to the Raid.
*Note: You can check your average power in the Equipped Gear section of your inventory.


The Rewards
This week’s release is packed with epic rewards for defeating the fully powered Skorpienne!
Defeating her in battle gives you a chance to obtain the following from the reward chest…
  • Hollowed Champion Bow
  • Hollowed Champion Dagger
  • Hollowed Champion Greatsword
  • Hollowed Champion Scythe
  • Skorpienne Carapace (crafting materials)
  • Skorpienne Crystal Fragments (crafting materials)
If you destroy all of the Destruction Crystals and prevent the temple from being destroyed, a second special chest will drop with…
  • “Battalion” Title
  • Extra Skorpienne Crystal Fragments
  • Extra Skorpienne Carapace
Of course, there are also a couple of extremely rare items in both chests, but we’ll just let you find out what they are :)
Hollowed Champion Crafting
Visit Sekt to craft the Hollowed Champion armor set and weapons after you’ve slayed Skorpienne again!
  • Hollowed Champion Armor
  • Hollowed Champion Belt
  • Hollowed Champion Boots
  • Hollowed Champion Cloak
  • Hollowed Champion Crown
  • Hollowed Champion Gloves
  • Hollowed Champion Plates
  • Hollowed Champion Dual Daggers
  • Hollowed Champion Greatsword and Dagger

The Masquerade
We made a video to show off the Masquerade of the Macabre, go and watch it, and tell us if you want us to make more videos like this!


There are still secrets in the haunted ballroom, do you dare to find them?
Talk to Umbra, a mysterious interloper at the Masquerade when your reputation is rank 10...
A creature of the night made off with one of her valued heirlooms, and she needs help getting it back.


Dungeons & Doomknights is at Midwest Gaming Classic Convention!

HeroMart
Check out the new real-life drops at our online shop, https://www.heromart.com/.
How to level up quickly!
Eager to play the challenge? Here’s a list of some of the quickest way to level up!
  • Finish the Sandsea Saga
  • Play some PvP
  • Visit the Masquerade of the Macabre
  • Play through the story
The most efficient way to get your average power level to 751 is to utilize a combination of the following gear:
  • Infuse pieces of the Void Sharken to +15 power offset or 15/15 infusion.
  • Use Zhoom’s Bow; rewarded by completing the Sandsea Saga or any other weapon that can be infused to +15 or 15/15.
  • Infuse additional pieces of Crocos gear to +10 or 10/10.
You need at least 2 items fully infused to 755 Power level and the rest infused to 750 power level to get access to the raid. You can keep checking your average power by clicking Equip Best in your Inventory until the average equals 751 or more.
See you in game.

Happy Mogloween!
We added plenty of drops & rewards to make sure you would be well suited for the Masquerade. For even more items, and to support our weekly releases, please consider buying this year's new Mogloween collection! You can get the pieces individually, or buy the entire collection to save a ton of DragonCrystals, get the badge/title, and unlock permanent year round storage to free up bank space.



Thank you & Game Designer thoughts
This is our favorite time of the year. Thank you for spending it with us! A weeks ago, when I asked Llussion if he could build a ballroom (it looks so beautiful), the idea was to create a place where we could hang out, farm monsters, and chill with friends. Dagger came along and added phases to the dancing. The mysterious figure playing the organ switched the dance floor up. We added a crazy number of quests and a few fun side things for you to discover. This is certainly not intended to be a single sitting event! Please do take your time and enjoy it over the next week.

The team and I really hope you and your friends enjoy this Mogloween release. We will be dropping by to dance and cause trouble with you. Look forward to seeing you there.

Battle on!

Monstrous Masquerade next week!

You are officially invited to the Monstrous Masquerade next Thursday. The event will take place at an undisclosed location. Not much about this mysterious and very formal special Mogloween event is known. Except for the fact that I am still in the process of writing it XD. The last thing I wrote was the Tower of Necromancy. This release will be a bit more... cozy. So the entire event will take place in a grand ballroom. If you do not already have a mask and formal attire, do not worry... there are PLENTY to collect from this event. So if you are in the mood for some classic AE-style "light hearted dark humor" bring some friends and join us for next week's Masquerade.

Thank you to you and all of the players supporting the game and making our weekly releases possible. If you get this year's 2021 Mogloween Collector's Chest, you will also receive a rare badge and title.

See you in game.

Battle on!
