Frostval is here! Show your gifting spirit and feast in the newest PvP arena!
-A new PvP arena "Battle Feast" has been added!
-Gifting Leaderboard for the season has been added.
-Tweaks to the queue system when in a party with people with leaver status.
-Fixed an issue with duels being stuck.
-Fixed an issue with PvP skills not being usable in duels.
-Fixed daily quests not being detected properly for newer daily badges
-Increased Max Bank Vault to 100

Deep beneath the snow covered fields, The Great Gifting One slumbers, dreaming up new gifts, and awaiting the fated days of Frostval where it can return once more to the worlds above to give presents to those who prove they are worthy…

The Gifting Shrub in Yulgar’s Inn has obtained the runes required to summon Gift’thulu, so go and talk to it!



New Gift’thulu rewards:

• Polar Ninja Armor Set
  
• Frosty Katana
  
• Ice Kunai

Spirits of Frostval pets are also making an appearance!

• Spirit of Giving pet
  
• Spirit of Taking pet
  
• Spirit of Caring pet (Guardian Only)

We were inspired by the way the community took initiative last year… and all year with other spawnables… to make sure everyone was able to participate and receive gifts. We want those who spread the most cheer to be recognized, so we made the Gifting Rune leaderboard! Players whose Gift'thulus share gifts to the most players will rise up the leaderboard. Don’t have enough DCs to buy a Gifting Rune? We added some in the Daily Chests so everyone has a chance to get at least one Rune for free during Frostval.

Be aware though, only regular Gifting Runes count towards your total, and only the top 100 will be displayed! If you aren’t in the top 100, you will always be displayed as 101, even though you may be lower than that. The Giving Shrub will fix this soon!
Visit the Guardian Tower for a new daily to receive a free Guardian Gifting Rune!



That’s right! There’s nothing quite like a good old fashioned Battle Feast to get the holiday spirit going. Enter the Battle Feast map and re-enact your favorite holiday dinners, as you slash, bash, and smash your opponents! You will have a random chance to enter either Battle Feast or the original map, Battle Falls, with each match.
Of course with a new PvP map comes…



A new PvP Reward set has made an appearance, alongside new seasonal rewards you can now earn!

• Blue Glow Armor Set
  
• Icy Jinbaori
  
• Frostval Jinbaori
  
• Frosty Sai

We’ve listened to your feedback and made some changes to PvP balancing!

• Swiftcast

Cast Speed 70% ➔ 40%

• Moglomancer PvP Buff

Max Health +20% ➔ +0%

• New spell for all players: Recall

Channel for 3 seconds to teleport back to your spawn and fully heal yourself!
Moving or taking damage will interrupt your channel so be careful not to do it while you're in danger!

By player request, we added the Dansen emote! Now you too can do the popular internet dance-- from, LOL, a decade ago XD
Right now there is a bug affecting Android users only, which means we've had to temporarily disable watching ads for DC's. Don't worry though, we're working on a fix!


Be sure to login to AdventureQuest 3D before Wednesday the 23rd! You and all other players who logged on this month will be receiving a gift of 500 DragonCrystals. And just in time-- on Wednesday we will finally be releasing the 2021 Frostval Collection.

See you in Frostval.
Battle on!

P.S. Our hearts go out to all of our friends and team members who were impacted by Super Typhoon Rai which struck the Philippines last Friday. On behalf of you, and all of the players in our Artix Entertainment video game community, we have made a donation of $5,016 USD (250,000 Philippine pesos) to the Philippine Red Cross, to help in the relief effort.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! The holiday cheer is spreading throughout Battleon as Frostval approaches. Log in and check out all the new festivies! Battle Frostfang in the Social District, check out new Holiday crafts, visit the Giving Shrub, and more!



From fire to ice... Battle Frostfang, the frost drake in a bad mood, to save the Social District from being frozen over! It's just barely recovered from the flames of Blaze's birthday bonfire.
Frostfang has a chance to drop the items from 2 seasonal cosmetic sets, plus some other festively fun items so challenge him now!

• Sinister Santa Armor set
  
• Dark Kringle Armor set

Talk to Rose in the Social District to check out all the new Holiday prizes you can craft. Rose is always happy to reward those who save Frostval from Frostfang!

Yulgar’s Inn looked like such a warm and lovely place for The Giving Shrub to set it’s roots down and hand out goodies to all the good people of Battleon!


"I see you found my undercover stakeout location here in the tavern… Since you show such a talent for finding things that don’t want to be found, maybe you could find my “License to Kale”? I’ve a feeling that dastardly Harbusher may have found it, so perhaps you could check there? You’ll be rewarded handsomely of course…"

• Wreath of Khan Pet
  
• Wreath of Khan Travel Form

You read that right! Get your piratical collection chest, or display your allegiance to the Legion with Dage’s collection while you still can. These will only be available for one more week!

The team is working hard to make these releases as awesome as possible so we end the year with a bang! In these final weeks of December, we have the Frostval Collection, new Battle Arenas PvP map, the return of Gift'thulu with new items, and the New Year's gift weapon. Also, look forward to an extra surprise or two...

Battle on!

Darkon is in town right now, relaxing on Battleon Bridge. He is selling off his collection, claiming that he has "too much of them." We aren’t sure why he calls his items "debris", but if you ask me, there’s something strange and sinister about ALL of them. You can buy these items from his birthday shop. You will also find Creatures 72 and 72.b in there. Trust them completely. And don't forget to wish Darkon a happy birthday!

• Darkon’s Debris 11 (Spear)
  
• Darkon’s Debris 25 (Big choppy sword)
  
• Darkon’s Debris 31 (Big pointy sword)
  
• Debris Halo 31 (Spiky and floaty)
  
• Debris Halo 64 (Also spiky and floaty but red)
  
• Creature 83 Hat (We remember saying to not do this)
  
• Creature 72 Pet & Travel Form (Adorable)
  
• Creature 72.b Pet and Travel Form (Adorable in it’s own special way)

While it’s brother is twisted and terrifying, Creature 72.b will float around and keep you company, and definitely doesn’t need to be watched at all times!
Believe it or not, Creature 72 only has your best interests at heart!



Frostval Siege is now working as it’s supposed to. With the war meter fixed, you are guaranteed a confrontation with the boss... as long as you survive the waves long enough to meet him. And in the great deserts of the Sandsea, the mighty djinn Khal-No’Bir has decided to take his Magic Arrow skills down a peg for the brave adventurers who dare to face his might.

Blaze’s Birthday Bonfire is now over, as he takes his leave from Battleon Social District! It won’t be empty for long though, watch out for something different next week!
See you in Frostval.
Battle on!

The joy and relief of heroes protecting Frost Moglins from being eaten by Yettuns is the true meaning of Frostval. Not to be confused with Frostvale, which is the wintery land that is also plagued by snow and ice creatures of all types, and Frostlorn and friends in the castle.



The festive mood is overtaking Battleon. The citizens of Battleon have equipped their winter best as the weather turns to frost and snow begins to pile up near the travel portal. Yulgar and his regulars at the inn are excited to celebrate Frostval, so they’ve decorated the area and started wearing their most thematic Frostval outfits!



Find Blizzy the Frostval Moglin at the Travel Portal and you'll find...

• Frostval Labyrinth - Quick travel to the Frostval Holiday map, complete with story, dungeons, and special crafts.
  
• Frostlorn Raiders - Quick travel to the front of this seasonal dungeon in Frostvale.
  
• Battleon Frost Siege available in Battleon’s Social District.
  
• Previous collections are back! You can purchase the items from these collections individually.

Also...

• Seasonal items are back in your daily treasure chests!
  
• You can play through the storyline of Frostval too!

Say hello to Bing, the Frostval Vampragon! He likes to wander around singing Frostval carols to passersby, and has been complimented on his singing voice many times! You can obtain your Bing the Vampragon pet and travel form by making a purchase from our upgrade shop this month! Plus, you will still get an additional 50% bonus DragonCrystals with your package this month. Save those for the 2021 Frostval Collection coming soon!
Now that Summer is long past, Dottie has returned to Camp Gonnagetcha to make repairs after all the fun and games! Hooper and his Grenwog shops and drops are taking a little break to make room for other things!



The Battle Arena is also getting a festive makeover for Frostval. Illuminated trees surrounded by gifts, wreaths adorning the borders, and fluffy white snow flurries. These are a few of the festive aesthetic changes made to the Battle Arena map.
This weekend, join the PTR to enter a new PvP map: Battle Feast. This Map takes place in a Grand Feast Hall. Delicious foods with various effects are present and the bounty zones are locked until notified. Gather food to obtain the advantage and claim the feast for your whole team!



We don’t just do Cyber Monday around here (as if you didn’t know that), so Cyber Week sets are still available! Get your futuristic cyberrific cosmetics while you still can!




In a “shocking” move, our Community Manager, Rellik, managed to snag a very special pair of horns from the ElectroMage set, and wandered off mumbling something about “community freebies”. We weren’t quite sure what he was on about, but you convinced him to give them to everyone for free! Follow him on Twitter to help unlock other future rewards!



See you in Frostval.

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...



"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



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

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 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.
Crash through the fire and flames and carry on with the new Flamewalker Armor sets! Available in five dashing colors, you’ll be able to pick out your favorite!

• Flamewalker Armor set
  
• Unbreakable Flamewalker Armor set
  
• Sturdy Flamewalker Armor set
  
• Spellforged Flamewalker Armor set
  
• Reinforced Flamewalker Armor set

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.



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



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.

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.



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.



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!
