A strange… person?... has shown up in the town of Battleon this week. If you head over to the Barber Shop you will find Hatrick, the Man of Hats. Hatrick, as you might guess really enjoys hats. He’s obsessed with them in fact. He travels the land in search of rare hats to add to his hat collection, however. This time he needs your help to obtain a hat. Travel to the Hat Tomb and grab it for him. Obviously, this is a simple task for a hero such as yourself.


Once you’ve helped Hatrick out a little you’ll be able to obtain hats from him and.. Horns? Hat-orns…? Collect Powerful Hat Essence from all monsters in the zones. You can also earn Powerful Hat Essence by running the 3 Daily Quests that Hatrick will have available to help you along the way.


Hatrick also has Travel Forms and Pets?!… They wear hats so no rules are being broken with this theme!


In our ongoing effort to tune classes and put more fun and power in the hands of the player, we’ve made some changes to both the Pirate and Ninja classes, giving them some AoE.

• Pirate: Flak Shot is now an AoE
  
• Ninja: Both Slashing Gale and Fire Strike are now AoEs

Our September promo item is the Draconic Dread Cannons! To get this menacing dragon gun, just purchase any package in the upgrade shop, now with 50% extra Dragon Crystals on select packages. For those that get one of the Guardian upgrade packages, you will also get the Draconic Cannons at no extra cost.


Next week the Pirate vs Ninja war begins! We’ve been working hard behind the scenes to create a new war using feedback from the Invasion From the Deep. One of these changes is how the War Meter is progressed. Originally, you would only get a set amount from turning in a quest… Any quest. We’ve worked hard to change that system to allow you to earn varying amounts of progress so harder quests will fill the meter faster. But, it doesn’t stop there! These updates to the war system go beyond allowing different quests to have varying impacts on the war effort. Kills and other actions can now count towards filling up that bar. We look forward to seeing you on the battlefield!

This week we’re adding a new boss to the social district along with two new shops. A dog-themed onesie shop to match the cats. These shops will use all the same materials as the cat day shop so if you have any leftover materials you’re in luck!


The BIG DOG has been let loose in the social district joining the Vicious Cat as a social boss that drops Bits of Pet Fur. You can use these totally not gross tokens to get cat and dog-themed onesies from Not Alma in the social district.


Just like Cat Day you will be able to earn “Bit of Pet Fur” tokens from defeating the bosses in the social district to turn in to Not Alma for fluffy pet themed rewards.


We’ve also added some dog-themed housing items using the usual housing item materials.


Woohoo! For one week we will be running a 150% XP and Class XP boost to assist in your adventures. Grind hard, heroes!


It’s the last chance for our August promo items, the Azurecrest Cape and Shield! To get this regal shield, just purchase any package in the upgrade shop, now with 50% extra Dragon Crystals on select packages. Those who already have or decide to purchase one of the Guardian upgrade packages will also get the Shadow Azurecrest Cape and Shield at no extra cost.


We'll be showcasing our first AQ3D Guild tomorrow! The AQW Guild "Hero" stole the spotlight today and we are thrilled to see such creativity and community spirit. Share your Guild’s story and some screenshots for a chance to be featured on our Design Notes. Additionally, we're excited to announce the upcoming Pirate vs Ninja War event for Talk Like a Pirate Day, featuring new Doom weapons and class skins. Furthermore, our team has started work on a new Saga, and AQ3D will soon see a new homepage, too!

This week players will meet up with Bob-O once again and learn more about the Azurecrest Lance. Travel to a mysterious island that once was a home for both Water Elves and early Lolosian settlers. Uncover it’s dark history and eventually empower your Azurecrest Lance into one of two new powerful Spellforged weapons.


The Azurecrest armor is but one of the rewards you’ll find on your adventures. This statted rare quality gear will be an alternative way to get caught up if you’re feeling a little behind in gearing.


One of the two upgrade paths you can choose for the Azurecrest lance is Redemption. This regal weapon has the power to call down lightning dealing high damage to the enemy struck.


The alternative is Scorn, a loathsome shadowy weapon that drains the life force of your enemies healing you with every strike. The choice is yours to make, but don’t feel too bad you can eventually create the opposite weapon to the one you chose as the boss at the end of the Azurecrest Lance’s storyline has a chance to drop more.


Last week I released a statement about an error I made in releasing an item that was supposed to be reserved to players who purchased the Primal Orb Pet. As promised we are providing a shop attached to the Primal Orb Pet that will give you access to a Fiend Cape of Nulgath without the requirement of any Lost Fragments of Nulgath. Additionally, I had asked Dage to craft an exclusive version of the game known as the Primal Fiend Cape of Nulgath which will also be in the shop for no additional cost.


I’m really excited to share some information on what we’ve got cooking. The team is hard at work creating a unique Talk Like a Pirate Day event this year. But, this isn’t your typical Talk Like a Pirate Day affair. As a long-time fan of Artix Entertainment and the original AdventureQuest, I’m super excited to announce we are working on a Pirate vs Ninja War for this year’s Talk Like a Pirate Day. Splinter factions within the two groups have formed and seek to put an end to the opposing side once and for all. However, this desire for destruction has awoken an ancient evil from deep within the Mysterious Isles. A new island emerges from the sea and an unseen voice calls out to the war-hungry leaders of both factions. Whispers of ancient weapons of unparalleled destruction can be theirs, an ultimate solution to their problems… DOOM to the opposing faction.

The Pirate vs Ninja War introduces two new DOOM weapons into AdventureQuest 3D. Along with two new Class Skins. It’s with great pleasure that I announce the Doom Pirate and Doom Ninja, we’ve been working on this stuff in the background for a while now and the team is really excited for you guys to get your hands on this sometime in September.


We’ve begun work on a new Saga about a month ago. I can’t say too much about it yet, but I’d like to show you early progress.


Our August promo item is the Azurecrest Cape and Shield! To get this regal shield, just purchase any package in the upgrade shop, now with 50% extra Dragon Crystals on select packages. For those that get one of the Guardian upgrade packages, you will also get the Shadow Azurecrest Cape and Shield at no extra cost.

This week in AdventureQuest 3D players we’ve added the unreleased Nulgath items to the Oversoul. Head on over to talk to Poniard in the Forge of the Forlorn to access a shop containing lost Nulgath items.


Two armor sets, both obtainable through farming the new token which drops off monsters all over the Oversoul or via doing 3 new daily quests that involve fighting the current 3 big bosses in AdventureQuest 3D.


One of the two new travel forms added this patch is Skratch, the DOOM KITTY for Dragon Crystals. But Skratch is not alone…


The Vicious Overgrown Cat is also obtainable for Dragon Crystals in the new shop.


Apocalys was an unreleased sword made by Dage, it was a shame for this weapon to lay dormant in the vault so not only are we releasing it. We’ve made it into a level 50 Spellforged weapon.


Finally, we… uh, ripped apart our Gnome-y friend and turned his parts into items you can earn from Gnome Berries


Our August promo item is the Azurecrest Cape and Shield! To get this regal shield, just purchase any package in the upgrade shop, now with 50% extra Dragon Crystals on select packages. For those that get one of the Guardian upgrade packages, you will also get the Shadow Azurecrest Cape and Shield at no extra cost.

Cat Day returns to Adventure Quest 3D this week bringing with it items from the past, purresent, and furr-ture? Sorry, I tried! But yes items appreciating our soft little friends will be returning to the game as well as a boss in the social district!


A… weird creature joins in the celebration….? Next to Aria you can speak to “Not Alma” to purchase Cat Onesies, how cute! Some will be earnable through collecting bits of cat fur from the boss while others are purchasable through Dragon Crystals. BUT THATS NOT ALL…

Not Alma contains another shop containing some cat-themed related housing items… including a “Sand Box” for cats… I’m sure you can figure out what that is.

More importantly, however, you will be able to get some sleeping kitties for your house.


We’ve heard the feedback from players about wanting a permanent version of the MIni Doddery the Gnome travel form. Your cries for help have been answered! This week we are adding in some extra goodies. A permanent version of the mini travel form as well as a statue. There will be more goodies to spend your Gnome Berries on next week too.

Doddery the Gnome has made his presence known across Lore by being a bit of a nuisance. You can find him in Warlic’s Magic Shoppe where he has a nifty little shop. But, If you find him in a daily boss map you can fight him for some extra goodies. Both the Travel Form and Pet will be obtainable through gameplay or can be purchased with Dragon Crystals.


Starting this week during the intro in Death’s Lair, Death will award you with a stone that unlocks the Blue-Eyed Soul Dragon Travel Form and Pet. But fear not existing heroes! If you return to Death’s Lair via the Travel Menu, you can unlock the Blue-Eye Soul Dragon for yourself. To be clear, the Blue-Eyed Soul Dragon is free for all players.


The Legendary Oracle set arrives in all of its mystical glory! Achieve Rank 50 with the Oracle to unlock this vibrant appearance. We can’t wait to see the awesome screenshots you’ll share on socials!


Woohoo! For one week we will be running a 150% XP and Class XP boost to assist in your adventures. Grind hard, heroes!

Hello, adventurers! I hope everyone has been having a great week. For this update, we will be introducing two new Spellforged items into AdventureQuest 3D. Two golden halos will be craftable by collecting materials from Lumenion; one halo will grant you a haste buff on proc while the other a crit buff. Once you’ve gathered the material from Lumenion, you can head to Yulgar and forge the halo of your choice!


While you will first forge a normal metal halo you will be able to upgrade it into a Spellforged helm of your choice!


Lumenion will also be dropping 4 statues starting today. This ofc begs the question… where is he storing such large lawn ornaments!? Two statues will be of Lumenion while the other two will be of the Blinding Starlight of Destiny.


Three new items have been added to the 2024 Summer collection this week! But you better hurry, because our summer goodies leave on July 31st. So if there’s anything in that collection that you must have right now… you better buy now before they go bye-bye!


In addition to the Summer Collection being updated, we’ve also added a new item to the Summer Grill Out War Shop for gold.

We’ve made some changes to the Sun Fury Scythe to not only make it stronger but we’ve also increased the amount of ore you obtain to craft it easier. This is done with the intent of making it easier to obtain the Sun Fury Scythes while you are leveling through the game.

This week in AdventureQuest 3D players can purchase the Starlight Paladin class skin. Harness the power of Starlight and wield it as a weapon to shatter your foes or a bulwark to protect your allies! The Starlight Paladin class skin can be purchased from Artix in Battleon at in the Shadow of the Wind Village.

The class skin features a star-themed twist on the classic Paladin’s skills and matches the Blinding Starlight of Destiny and this month’s promo item, The Starlight Longsword, perfectly!



This week will also bring additional drops to the Deep Grotto dungeon. All of the bosses within the dungeon now have a chance to drop pieces of the Clawgrah set. This rare set features devastating claws as weapons that will allow you to rip and tear through any of your foes!


We’re also updating the icons of the game and introducing some brand-new ones. Spellforged will have a unique color and gem on their icon to indicate they have a Spellforged effect on them. This will allow players to look at their inventory and know right away which gear has effects and which doesn’t.


We’ve made some changes to Oracle’s cross-skill as it’s kind of the best cross-skill in the game right now and lets you just live through everything. We’ve increased its cooldown and will be monitoring the effects of these changes.

Oracle Class:

• Cosmic Reverberation: Cooldown increased from 12 Seconds to 20

Misc Changes

• Lumenion has had issues dealing with ranged classes such as the Pirate where he can’t retaliate. Changes have been made to address that.
  
• Enemies within the Deep Grotto have been further tweaked to smooth out the experience.

Blinding Starlight of Destiny

The Blinding Starlight of Destiny crash lands into AdventureQuest 3D marking the beginning of a new kind of item, “Spellforged”. Spellforged items have spells attached to them or… forged into them. To start with as the flagship item for this feature, The Blinding Starlight of Destiny has a 20% chance to call down celestial axes and strike all enemies around you dealing 50% of the damage of whatever source of damage proced it. This is just the beginning as we plan to add many more Spellforged items in the future to really drive player expression and build varieties!

4th of July

Rocketman returns to Battleon with new and returning items to help celebrate the 4th of July.
