The goal of this map was supposed to be fun. We added a leaderboard because... why not? And, like all leaderboards, players found a way to exploit it. Some people just couldn't commit to truly being AFK.
What do we do now? Well, you can still turn in AFK Minutes to the shop and Trove of Use Things, however, we turned off the leaderboard quests and removed the leaderboard. Instead we will be putting the top few hundred names on a webpage to immortalize your achievements in doing nothing very very well.



The pumpkins and ghosts have returned to Mystcroft as the portal to the Mogloween world closes. The citizens of Battleon quickly redecorate to usher in the winter season and welcome the return of Blizzy the Frostval Moglin as snow flurries cover the land. However… There is one spooky citizen who remains and is not ready for Frostval.



We just celebrated Veteran’s Day in the United States. It is a time to celebrate those who fought in the armed services for their country. Go see Artix in the 20th Anniversary Event Lobby to get your free Veteran shield in the Special Gifts Shop.

The Arcade Challenge Daily: Arcade Coins now gives 135 Regular Server Data in addition to the 35 Arcade Coins.

Also, Bean Twilly’s Arcade Challenge Shop has two new level 39 items:

• Death of Games Caster Invisible Boots
  
• Death of Games Invisible Gloves

All Mogloween and Mystcroft map content have left Battleon until next year.
AFK Leaderboard and Leaderboard Quests removed. Top AFKers will be remembered on a webpage coming soon.

• Taculous leaves the Social District on November 23rd to make way for Frostfang.
  
• 20th Anniversary Event ends around January 1st, 2023. Event game maps will be moved to Adventure Menu permanently
  
• Black Friday and Cyber Mondays shops leave Battleon on December 14th.

We’re still working hard on getting Atlantis ready for release with as much testing as possible. You can also look forward to a Frostval Collection and additional winter fun as December approaches.

A special thank you to the AQ3D dev team and testers for working hard every week to create the releases and quickly reporting any bugs or feedback from the players. As we approach the end of the year, it is important to acknowledge those who got us here. You are seen and appreciated.

See you in game!
Battle on

Head to the Sanctuary (it’s in the Special Locations tab) to get your exclusive free Live Celebration Dark Blade from the Open Beta Shop. Thank you for supporting AdventureQuest 3D.



Looking to earn a few extra tokens of map currency? Well, now you can with our three new Daily Quests.

• "Daily Gains" - Earn extra Ring of Doom Medals from Cheer
  
• "Arcade Coins" - Earn extra Arcade Coins from Bean Twilly
  
• "Cheat Codes" - Earn extra 8-Bit Gold from 8-Bit Clarion

Clarion has noticed something strange in RetroQuest Worlds. His kitty Alma appears to be able to show up in more than one place at a time. Will you help him investigate what’s happening to Alma?



Heed the call of nature and prove that you have what it takes to wield the Enchanted Beastmaster Blade. Find the wise Druid Dalia Swift Paw in Yulgar’s Inn and she will guide you on this epic quest.

Well folks, there is good news and bad news.
The bad news is that the AFK leaderboard is going away due to an exploit that we can't fix in a reasonable amount of time. We liked the idea of competitive "doing nothing" but people started to do things and it was better than "doing nothing" in terms of points and that ruins the fun.
The good news is that we’re keeping the Leaderboard Quests up for one more week. AND when we remove the quests, the Leaderboard will still be visible. However, only the top 100 AFKers will be immortalized on the AFK Leaderboard. Do nothing like you’ve never done anything before!

• All Mogloween and Mystcroft map content will leave AQ3D on November 16th
  
• 20th Anniversary Event ends around January 1st, 2023. Event game maps will be moved to Adventure Menu permanently
  
• AFK Leaderboard Quests will be removed on November 16th

Black Friday arrives in AQ3D early this year with dapper new digs and wondrous weapons in the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shops. We’ll follow that with the big Lolosia finale in the underwater city of Atlantis.

Battle on!

As long as you have started this trove quest before then, you will be able to continue to add items to it even after the lobby is gone.

Access this challenge fight by talking to Death of Games waaaaay in the back of the Lair… or click on the handy Travel Crystal in the map.

A long time ago… we left a note to players in the Founder’s Sanctuary that promised a special reward upon leaving Open Beta on Steam and going Live. Guess what? Last week, AdventureQuest 3D went Live on Steam. Head to the Sanctuary (it’s in the Special Locations tab), click on the giant sword, and open the Open Beta shop to get your free Live Celebration Sword. After next week’s release, no new accounts will be considered as Beta.

NOTE: A Dark version of this reward is coming to the Open Beta shop next week for Guardians only.



Also new to the Founder’s Sanctuary are additional Beta Berserker crafting shops. Craft Dark Beta Berserker and Guardian Beta Berserker items using Battle Gems and the basic Beta Berserker pieces.

• All Mogloween and Mystcroft map content will leave AQ3D on November 16th
  
• 20th Anniversary Event ends around January 1st, 2023. Event game maps will be moved to Adventure Menu permanently.

Enjoy 50% bonus Dragon Crystals for the rest of the year with any upgrade bundle or DC package from the Upgrade Shop!



We’re working on the finale of Lolosia’s 3-part saga. Part 1 takes place on the pirate island of Lolosia, while in Part 2 you set sail to the secret ninja island of Yokai. Join us as we delve into the depths of Atlantis to reassemble Poseidon’s Trident soon in Part 3. Check your Adventure Menu to complete (or get started) on this exciting adventure!

Join us in AdventureQuest 3D as the haunted October festivities officially begin. Cross into the world of spirits and ghouls with the return of Mogloween. Battleon town is decorated with jack-o-lanterns and spirits roam freely. Myx the Magic Cauldron and Mayor McPumpkins are in town waiting to welcome you to the ghostly town of Mystcroft… and all of the haunted house dungeons and horrors within!

...and get ready for Artix Entertainment's "Anything goes" dark and crazy 20th Anniversary event with special guests coming next!




Talk to Mayor McPumpkins in Battleon for direct access to all of these spooky Mogloween events.

• Trick or Treating: In the town of Mystcroft, “Trick or Treat” is not just a fun greeting. You may get tricked, but you’ll always get a treat. Just ask Andy Corn, the ghostly neighbor.
  
• Mystcroft Haunted Manor: Too old to Trick-or-Treat? Test your fright in this Haunted Manor full of dangerous dungeons and earn spooky prizes.
  
• Dr Trollenstein's Lab: Doctor Trollenstein & his creation are back! Head to the mad science lab and take on the buzz saw and laser filled challenge. The door is near the fountain in the middle of the haunted town.
  
• Zorbak’s G-Rave Yard: It's not entirely clear if Zorbak was trying to resurrect the skeletons to make an undead army and accidentally made them into a dance party or if the dancing has some ebil intent, but either way... the result is a bone-rattling dance party!
  
• Mogloween Trove: Collect drops and crafts from your Mogloween adventures and turn them in with Mayor McPumpkins to access them in a Trove year-round. ["2020" was dropped from name as this quest is now available every year.]
  
• Fishing in the Slime Fountain: Gather ‘round the fountain for the age old seasonal sport of "bobbing for candyfish"! Turn in the Candyfish and Pumpkin Puffers you catch to Andy Corn to earn colorful skelesuits.
  
• Previous Mogloween collections: Mayor McPumpkins is happy to share with you the Mogloween collection items from previous years in his shop, and will soon carry this year’s new Mogloween collection.

Dress sharp, bring your friends, and ready your armaments for an unforgettable night in an abandoned vampire castle. The Phantasm of the Organ is playing, and you never know who you will encounter on the dance floor next. The Archiducissa Weaver welcomes anyone to join the Masquerade Ball at the Battleon Cemetery all year long.

Mogloween-inspired PvP rewards are available year round in the Special PvP Rewards shop.




Everyone's going batty over this month's upgrade bonus.




AdventureQuest 3D's newest playable class just dropped. You can earn the class through daily quests or buy it outright.



Perhaps the most horrifying part of this week's line-up is the horrifyingly cheesy taco day celebration. Grab a taco and join us in the social district to get taco prizes while you can.



Looking for a fox tail to complete your Mogloween costume? Foxxy Roxxy is hiding... somewhere. Find her and engage in an extreme hide-n-seek challenge to her tail. Maybe another player can give you a hint to where in the world she is hiding.



Artix Entertainment is turning 20 this month! We are celebrating with a special event in-game. It will be dark, weird, crazy, and... well, we are just going to have some "anything-goes" fun. Would love you to be a part of it. In fact, we would like you to be the guest of honor.

Battle on!

Unlock Samurai Class by visiting Hensou (currently in Battleon) and completing daily quests for Samurai Tokens, or use DragonCrystals to buy the class. Once you unlock the class, return to Hensou to learn the history and master the art of Samurai.

Samurai are warriors of Yokai who harness the power of the wind, as bestowed by the dragon spirit Ryukami. Using swords of enchanted steel, they slash like the breeze before unleashing the power of a hurricane.

Use your extra Samurai Tokens to buy the Samurai Class Gear from Hensou!
 

• Breath of the Wind (Passive): Attacks and abilities add a stacking buff to the player’s attack and attack speed to a maximum 50 stacks. Cross skills do not generate stacks.
  
• Auto Attack: Repeatedly attack an enemy in range. Can be cast from range if in Ranged Stance.
  
• Zephyr Strike: Quickly slash your opponent. Finish the 3 hit combo to deal massive damage.
  
• Wind Cutter: Dash to an enemy and enter melee stance. If you kill an enemy, you may dash to the next one.
  
• Nothing Personal: Launch a windslash breaking the armor of your oppenent, then dash to them.
  
• Death by A Thousand Cuts (Ultimate): Call upon the spirit of the Wind Dragon to increase your Haste. Attacks while this is active will apply One of a Thousand Cuts. Nothing Personal deals increased per stack of One of a Thousand Cuts.
  
• Menacing Stance (Cross Skill): Channel the power within letting all your attacks automatically crit for a short time after. "Oh, You're approaching me?"

A newcomer named Hensou has arrived in Battleon. He is willing to teach you the ways of the Samurai. To truly master the class, you must earn the favor of Ryukami, the dragon spirit of wind who once gave a piece of himself to empower these warriors of Yokai. Seek the guidance of Hensou and become… a Samurai.
*Note: Samurai Class must be unlocked to begin this questline.




Rank up your Samurai Class to 100 and unlock items in the Legendary Samurai armor set along the way.



Unlock the Dragon Samurai class skin. Play with the usual class skills but whole new visual effects and a brand new armor set befitting the Dragon Samurai.

Read about how we created Samurai Class in our behind-the-scenes post “Secrets of the Samurai Class”.
 
Battle on!
