Feeling like you're different, or don't belong, is always a challenge. That's why it is so important to recognize that our differences and unique qualities are what make us special. The Artix Entertainment community has always been made up of many different heroes: we live in different countries, believe different things, have different types of families.... but one thing has always been true. We believe that you should always be proud of who you are and the struggles you've overcome.



Taylor the Happy Moglin is relaxing in the Mysterious Islands on Pointe Less Isle. They are ready to accept you as you are in AdventureQuest 3D and want you to express your true colors all year long with the Pride Shop. You can also find Taylor in the Social District during the month of June as we celebrate Pride Month.



Each of the weapons in the Pride Shop were created with a specific intention behind each one. Pick items from the shop which reflect your true colors and wear them with pride.

The Progress Shield is a shield because it protects and empowers the entire community. The battle axe/labrys has been a long-standing symbol for lesbians. The bisexual weapon has two blades, one pink and one blue, with the purple meant to represent attraction to people that identify as outside of the binary between them, while the pan-sexual weapon has one long blade that encompasses all the colors representing ones attraction to all genders. The asexual sword contains a spade at its hilt which is the symbol for asexuality, and the twin daggers are dual-wielded as the colors of the trans flag. The Non-Binary weapon is a mace simply because a staff member had a NB friend in school who had a mace in their dorm room and they thought it was cool XD

Buy any package from the AdventureQuest 3D's Upgrade Shop this month to get the Lil' Grilly pet and the Ultimate Grillmaster Spatula. Existing Guardians (anyone who becomes a Guardian this month) will also give you the ability to transform into Lil' Grilly! .... and magically move around the world at the same speed as a horse O_O. Check your Pet and Travel Form inventories on your next login after purchase.





Gather your friends around your stylish portable cookware! You can smell the sizzling of the 100 organic, non-GMO moglinberry-based meat substitute! Tastes just like the real thing according to your friends-- except it does not at all. Still keto friendly




Once upon a time, in a land far, far away.... the Legendary Grillmaster embarked on his epic quest to grill... EVERYTHING. Replacing spellbooks with cookbooks their life was dedicate to culinary crusading. They forged a magical Grill, and named it Lil' Grilly. Until, one fateful day, the Grillmaster... flipped out. Searing with 500°F degrees of anger they unleashed their spatula of untold power upon the world. With so much at steak, a Hero rose-(mary) to stop the Grillmaster! Little is known of what happened next, ... only the spatula remains.



"One day, I will grow up and be a grown up Grill just like you Dad!"


If you are reading this in the future and missed the promotional period, Guardians can still get the travel Form... but you'll miss out on the Pet. Head to the Guardian Tower to talk to Fortes. He has a shop for "Special Guardian Rewards" where you can buy the Travel Form Transformation and any other travel forms released through these special promotions with Guardian Class Tokens. Make sure you completed the Guardian Initiation to unlock class gear.

"It's grilln' time!"


This month's big event is the release of the Nulgath Saga Parts 1& 2 (released together as one big release.) You have seen Seleden, the Red Forest in previous sneakpeeks... this is the Wasteland.



The Wastland is a massive yet barren area with a perpetual dust bowl storm which limits vision. Some long time players may recognize area as an important historical landscape from a previous AQWorlds Nulgath video.



While this is all still a work-in-progress and may change before release, there are a lot of new items designed for the area-- including new Nulgath & Dage's Undead Legion items. The level cap will continue raising through the Nulgath saga. Regardless if you side with the the forces of good, Dage's Legion, or Nulgath's fiends... it should be a fun adventure.

See you in game!

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

Prepare for a special story event with musical guest, Aurelio Voltaire!  Also, the level cap raised to 36 with this release! A strange guitar has appeared in Mysterious Johnson's Oddity's Shop.... your journey begins there.


Aurelio Voltaire has chartered a ship to Skullpunch Island! Tük Pilfersnatch, Aurelio Voltaire's trusty companion, is happy to have you along for the journey. But... Voltaire's luck came up short when he lost his treasure map to the crew in a card game. Help him get it back from those monsters.
...No, really. They're monsters.


Luck is a fickle thing, and even more so on a pirate's ship. Voltaire's crew has muntineed and they chose Fangface... Capt Fangface... as their leader. What else can go wrong on a ship full of Vampirates and a sea full of monsters?


Once you make it to Skullpunch Island, you still need to find Cap’n Chumbeard's treasure. Where's the best place to hide something on an island? In a volcano, of course! But first, you have to get in the door. You just need to knock... with King Gong's hammer...
AdventureQuest 3D's level cap is  increasing by 1 in this week's special story release. This kicks off our climb to level 40... which goes to the end of the Nulgath Saga.
Fight your way through the volcano and find the keys to unlock the door to the treasure room. Work fast. Capt Fangface is hot on your trail.


Something is not right with the treasure... Prepare to fight a cursed creature inside the volcano and *escape* from Skullpunch Island. And then do it again with your friends in challenge mode!
Many of these items can also be earned as drops from monsters throughout the release!

• Exquisite Beard Hair (token)
  
• Capt Fangface’s armor set
  
• Bone Turtle Pet
  
• King Gong pet
  
• Ground Splash Aura (consumable)

Originally, the team had planned to release military-themed armor sets to honor all soldiers and warriors from every country. Out of respect for the on-going real world conflict in Ukraine, we have decided to delay their release.
We are here to make fun and funny game releases to provide an escape from the real world for all our players, especially in times when it is needed the most. Thank you for your understanding, and to everyone who was looking forward to the items, never fear; they will arrive in-game in the future.

Also, next week marks the beginning of June; so look forward to our June promotion in the Upgrade Shop. It will include a pet (and travel form for Guardians) AND a weapon. This will be a light release week as the team recuperates after two full Friday the 13th releases this month and continues work on the Nulgath saga.

See you on the island....

Battle on!

Yes. Why yes, a few things are mysteriously missing from this Friday the 13th release. The ship that was originally scheduled to take us to Skullpunch Island is nowhere to be found. Or is it? There is only one Friday the 13th this year... but who cares about dates when you have a few capable Chronomancers nearby. Keep your eyes and ears peeled here for some exciting breaking news.
Meanwhile, the team is hard at work building all of the upcoming story releases for you. These include the Nulgath Saga and the Main Vane Storyline.  Also new classes.... we are long overdue for new classes. We would love your input on our story focused direction. We are going to ask you some questions in a player feedback form soon... check the Artix's Twitter and Facebook for the link.
Battle on!
