Aria has wrangled the kitties back into her pet shop and let the dogs out to play for National Dog Day! Rose is cleaning up the Social District, but you can still find Aria on the bridge surrounded by a pack of puppies.
What’s in Store for National Dog Day
Aria has combined the Doggie Adoptions (pets) and Doggie Travel Forms shops into the new Doggie Stuff shop, plus she’s added new pets and dog-themed gear.
You can also choose to Adopt Klaus via a quest! Aria requires that you prove you can handle this little guy, but it’ll be worth it to finally have him as your own.

Dante, the Fiend Hunter
There is a fiend hunter named Dante in the Forge of the Forlorn, not too far from the Blood Fiend Guard. He is trying to rid his once beautiful home-plan of the fiendish influence of Nulgath. He is tracking down a fiend lycan called Valnaroth whom he has been hunting for a long time. Team up with Dante, assist him in defeating this great scourge, and earn the title “Archfiend May Cry”.
If you’ve never been to the Forge of the Forlorn, Aria can help you get there if you talk to her on the bridge in Battleon. Just tell her that you want to Assist Dante.

You will return to the Loremaster’s Lodge to discover the next piece of the Cosmic Raiment.
Loremaster Hazel has moved to Battleon! Visit her Lodge across from Yulgar’s Inn and say hello. She will be excited to meet you and share what she's been researching!
Loremaster Hazel
Loremaster Hazel has unearthed some information about the long lost Cosmic Raiment and needs your help finding it! The Cosmic Companion seems to have a special bond with Hazel. If you choose, it will tag along with you and communicate your research findings back to her.
Searching for the Cosmic Raiment
Explore dungeons and dark places for clues to the whereabouts of the first piece of the raiment, the Cosmic Garment (armor). Once you have obtained all of the materials, you will be able to piece together the Cosmic Garment (and future Cosmic Raiment pieces). If you so choose, you may ‘awaken’ its Epic power through collecting additional materials.
If you have the Cosmic Companion pet, you can turn-in your quest objectives on the go!
Cosmic Companion
This fierce wolf companion is a Quest Pet. The Cosmic Companion allows you to access the Cosmic Raiment quests and shop with just a click wherever you are! And your pet will always be updated with the release of each new piece.
But Wait…
This is just the beginning of Loremaster Hazel’s research. You will help her uncover each piece of the Cosmic Raiment set over this new series of releases. The entire set is on display, along with the Cosmic Companion, in the Loremaster’s Lodge.

The Cat Party will leave the Social District and Aria’s cat content (shop and quest) will be moved into the Pet Shop on Aug 23rd, 2023.

A pack of dogs will soon be chasing away the cats in Battleon for National Dog Day!
Just in time for International Cat Day, some really BIG cats have appeared in the Social District. They must have heard the calls of all the cat lovers on AQ3D’s social media!
These larger-than-life cats are ready to claw their way into your heart by dropping an assortment of cat gear and a special item called “Potent Catnip”. I wonder what that’s for… You can ask Rose when you turn in your Social Flyers and Party Streamers to get the new Silver Cat Headphones (or any other Social Event Prizes).
The arrival of these big cats has brought Aria to the Social District too. As the owner of the pet shop, Aria offers a quest to earn a special cat of your own. However, you can also choose to purchase one of a variety of new cat pets, travel forms, and cat-themed items in her Kitten Caboodle shop as well.

Complete this quest to get either the Guardian Cat Pet or Travel Form *and* unlock the ability to purchase the other one from Aria’s “Kitten Caboodle” shop.
Orange Hair!
We knew this would be something you’d have to see to believe. Gingers rejoice! Orange hair is finally an option in the Barber Shop and player customization menu! We’re hoping to sneak a few more natural colors in there throughout the year too.

We’re making next week a light release week as the team focuses on upcoming features and story quests.
You all spent over 5 Billion Gold on item augments since its release last week! That’s enough to make a pirate want to retire! The whole AdventureQuest 3D team is amazed. We love that you love the item augments. You really put that gold boost to work for you.
Somehow, the Daily Tasks missed out on the gold boost last week. So we decided to extend the boost for one more week so you can double up on all of your gold rewards as promised! Go get your gold on, Hero!

International Cat Day is coming up! Our artists are working on bringing a special cat-themed release for all of you cat lovers!
Item Augments are now live! Get a chance to add cool new stats to your items!
1.102.1 fixes and updates
-Item Augments: stat modifiers can now appear on new items you get -more tweaks to fix monsters falling through the floor -added improvements for future Quests -various fixes
Who is ready to stack some stats and customize their character build? Equipable items now have the chance of dropping with various stat modifiers. Modifier quality ranges from Defective to Fiendish, with a variety of stats being affected within those ranges, and the chances of getting a higher tier modifier is shown in a handy guide on the side of the menu. And, yes, these augments stack on top of Infusions.
If you have an item that doesn’t have a modifier yet, or you don’t like the modifier your item came with, you should visit Maximus in the Battleon Town Square. Appropriately positioned near Cysero’s Forge, Maximus offers stats upgrades via Infusion and, now, Augment Rerolls via the Augment System. Maximus will show you which of your items is able to be augmented, which you then select to be modified. Rerolls, like Infusion, cost Gold for each time you use it, so keep an eye on your money as you reroll. You can always come back when you have more.
Gold Raven did a short 5 minute video reviewing the Augment System while it was on the PTR server (showing the old UI) if you want a quick visual tutorial. Click here to watch. OR if you want to read an in-depth explanation of the system, read our post HERE.
Server Wide Gold Boost!
In honor of the release of the Augment System, we’ve boosted the servers with double gold rewards until next week’s release. Plus, Gold Boost tokens can be bought from the Potion Shop in the menu for an additional 50% Gold boost. Take advantage of all the extra gold you get while adventuring to try out Maximus’ Modifier Rerolls!
Also, we’re thinking of making Gold Boosts a regular end-of-the-month update. What do you think?
Phoenix Gear Troves!
Thok’s Phoenix Gear crafting shop gives a lot of gear! So we’ve made troves for those items to save your inventory and bank space if you choose to complete the Phoenix Ranks quests and craft them all. You need to complete a Phoenix Rank quest and earn its title to unlock the respective trove. Unlocking one of these troves also unlocks the Ornate Classic Phoenix Blade.
Wasteland Void Invasion Improvements
Increased exp/gold rewards on all voids
Increased requirements for Void Hunting
Voids level and hp has been increased and attack decreased
How does it work now? Every 5 minutes 8 Voids will spawn in the wasteland. A notification will let you know the Voids are invading lore. After the players defeat the Voids, a 5-minute timer will initiate on which the Voids will respawn. However, when and only when all 8 Voids are defeated, the 5 minute timer will begin to count down; incentivizing players to team-up and fully defeat a wave in order to spawn another.

Don't forget to check your inventory for your legacy Vengenator sword, our limited time free item for logging in during the past week.

Quality of Life Adjustments
Oversoul Anvils: The anvils in the Forge of the Forlorn having an inconsistency opening menu while interacting has been fixed for easy access to players. Remember that one the left anvil is too cluttered with players; you can utilize the other anvil on the other side of the Forge map to open the same menus and crafting shops.
Fiend Hunting and Catacombs farming methods for Dark Crystal Shards: The drop rate of the quest Dark Crystal Shards in Fiend Hunting has been very slightly reduced after finding that the drop rate was slightly over-tuned.
Also, AFK timers have been added to the catacombs. Inactive players will be kicked out of the map after 5 minutes of inactivity to facilitate players farming through this method.
