FG3000 is in town with a shop full of Cosmetic items you can get for gold.
FG3000 is a well-known, high-energy, and super-positive MMORPG reviewer... and today, he is officially a video game NPC in AdventureQuest 3D! Find him in town with a shop full of cosmetic items that you can get for gold. He also happens to know the location of a lost sword... his lost sword. Which can be yours with an ample about of monster-murder. And to help any new players who need to level up in order to get this weapon, a server-wide XP Boost has been activated!
We were honored! ... And retaliated by making him into an NPC.
(Do not worry... we reached out and got permission first.)
FG3000 is in game now!
Find him standing near the bridge in AdventureQuest 3D's Town of Battleon with a shop full of cosmetics for all players.
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow!
Bonus! You can unlock FG3000's wickedly "dread"-ful (#seewhatididthere?) hair style using an item from his shop. Using the item will unlock the hair as an option in the barber shop.
The Sword of Swordness
We hid a FG3000 sword on a monster somewhere in the world.... somewhere.... and if you can find the monster that drops it, it will be yours.
A win for the community
This was an interesting thing to try-- and it might just bring some new friends to play with to AdventureQuest 3D. Before this release I talked to community YouTubers Gold Raven and Lag who enthusiastically agreed. Lag said, "A win for the game is a win for all content creators of the game, that's the way I see it."
XP BOOST
Gain experience faster while the server-wide XP boost is active this week. From now until next Wednesday at 11:59pm EST you will get 200% experience. (Note: Boosts character XP only, not class.) It is the perfect time to level up in AdventureQuest 3D.
