A Massive War at Sun’s Set Shore!

Beleen | Tuesday, August 5, 2025

Beach Brawls & Boss Battles

Grab your flip-flops and some fearless friends, because Sun’s Set Shore is under siege! This is our brand-new seasonal map, and it’s serving up both beach vibes ~and~ war cries.

How to Get to Sun’s Set Shore

Talk to Annette on the Battleon Bridge (she’s our fabulous beach NPC — pinkish hair, awesome sunglasses, suspiciously small shoes… you can’t miss her)
Or hop over to Sun’s Set Shore via the in-game News menu!

Boost that War Meter to Build a Massive Sand Castle

A magical war meter tracks our progress. Slay beach baddies and complete quests to bump the meter and unlock exclusive gear from the Sun’s Set Shore Shop based on meter % progression. As it fills, a mystery sand castle begins to take shape… and not even ME knows what the final form will look like. Way to keep the best stuff all to yourself, Clarion. The suspense is killing me!

When the war meter hits 100%, the full sand castle will be revealed and a mega-awesome boss will appear!

Battle Beach Behemoths

The shores are already crawling with colossal creatures:

Defeat them for a chance to score:

Pocket-sized pet versions of the slain sea shore monsters
Pieces of the Sandy Sword — a special weapon that’ll surely leave battling beachgoers in awe
And… sand. Yep. Wouldn’t be a beach day without excessive sand in your shoes ~and~ inventory bag

Daily Quests & Sandy Shenanigans

Pop on over to Solestia in Sun’s Set Shore for a daily quest that grants sandy versions of a classic weapons! Collect enough sand, and you can even build your own Sandy Sword.

Summer Collection 2025 = Deal Hotter Than the Sun

The sizzling Summer Collection is here with:

39 items, including 4 Kirin Mounts
All for just 7,000 DCs (which is wild, since ONE Mount costs 5,500 DCs)
Buying items individually? That’d cost over 40,000 DCs — so yeah, this is like an 80% discount that probably has Artix saying WHAAAAAAT ARE YOU DOING!?!

Your Mission, Hero:

Brandish your blades, summon your spells, and equip your… sunscreen! The war is raging, the sun is blazing, and Sun’s Set Shore needs YOU right now.

It’s high time to boost the war meter, build that sand castle, slay those sea monsters, and most importantly…

BATTLE ON!
Beleen, Clarion, Artix, all the beachgoers everywhere, and the AQ3D Team (who probably aren't at the beach right now)
