May The Fourth Be With You

You don’t have to be from a galaxy far far away to celebrate May the Fourth. The Dark Lord returns to Battleon, bringing with him multiple seasonal shops, including… May the 4th, Revenge of the 5th, the May the 4th Housing Collection, Black Helm Crafting, and of course past May 4th collections.

Community Shop Update

This week, we are rolling out some DuckyDucky housing items for the community shop that will be available for purchase from Zilla’s community shop. You can find Zilla in both Yulgar’s Inn and the Battleon Social District for 10 DuckDucky coins each. In addition to the DuckyDucky house items available in the shops, a special ghostly variant will drop off of the DuckyDucky spawns.

A New Start

We’ve been hard at work revamping AdventureQuest 3D over the last year. The team and I are so excited for you to get your hands on the revamped introduction to AdventureQuest 3D, which will start with your adventures in Mossmere that will kick off the new main story for AdventureQuest 3D. All of the gameplay and system changes we’ve been making to AdventureQuest 3D have truly been leading up to this - a brand new main campaign with exciting new characters and mysteries to uncover. All built upon the foundation we’ve been forging with systems like Heroic Skills and Spellforged gear. We look forward to you all questing through Mossmere and arriving at the new version of Battleon, where your journey through Lore will truly begin. And don’t worry… as a thank you for partaking in playing through our new beginning. There will be a reward… a platinum promise.

New Battleon?

We’re hard at work finishing up Mossmere, but development on AdventureQuest 3D truly never ends. Mossmere was designed to be part of the Greenguard region, so a lot of the assets we’ve been building will be used to revamp the whole of Greenguard, including Battleon, as you can see in the picture above. While still very early, things are progressing fast!

A lot of players have been asking me directly what will happen to the current Battleon… Nothing! Well, for the most part. Current Battleon will remain accessible as a legacy map and be left untouched, save for a portal to the current Battleon. That way, no queststrings will be broken and those who just wanna hang out in Battleon can still do so! So as we build the new story, know that you will still be able to play through all that is currently in the game. I think the only thing we really wanna change is maybe removing the portal cutscenes… At least the ones that are there, that is.

Once we finish Battleon, this will lead us into the new Greenguard that will surround Battleon and Mossmere. While chapter 1 of our new story will take place in Greenguard that doesn’t mean Chapter 2 will be a revamped Heartwood. In fact, right now we’ve been leaning towards something more… coastal…

As I have more info to share, I’ll keep you posted here in the Design Notes, really hoping to return to a more casual and fun design notes style. The kind I grew up reading as a player when I was younger. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Words really can’t describe how excited I am about moving forward with this story we’re cookin!

Void Star Scythe

The Void Starsycthe is being added to the Treasure Chest this week. A futuristic weapon made for harvesting kills off your foes!

New Promo Item: Azure and Veridian Star Scythes

The Azure Star Scythe will be awarded to any player who makes an upgrade purchase during the month of May. This includes not only Dragon Crystals but also any Guardian package and the Starter Bundle. Guardians will receive a variant known as the Veridian Star Scythe at no additional cost. In addition to both weapons, each promo will come with an additional house item to hang your fancy weapon off in your home. Simply head over to the Guardian Tower and speak to Fortes after finishing your Guardian initiation. A friendly reminder that all Dragon Crystal packages have a 50% bonus on them!

Battle on,

Clarion, Beleen, Artix, and the AQ3D team
