• In order to prevent shop abuse, the Dark Holiday 2021 Collection Chest and DeadM0g pet cannot be sold.

New HollowBorn Boss Battle

This weekend, /join hbchallenge and find Hel Fö, the Hollowborn Judge's disciple. She passes judgements handed down by the ShadowFiend. No matter the outcome of the judgment, it will always be fair... and the Hollowborn Judge's sentence is final. Complete her quests to collect Hollowborn Writs, then use them in the merge shop to an all-new set of gear.

Next week: the pieces of the Hollowborn DoomKnight set will arrive, but you can begin farming for them now!
Note: The /shadowharvest map has been renamed to /shadowcliff. The maps are now permanently available. Happy Hollowborn reward farming!

HollowBorn Collection Chest

The Hollowborn Evoker set, created for Black Friday by AQW Community artist, Yo Lae, is a Black Friday seasonal  collection chest. Unlock a TON of dark, deadly items for 5,000 AdventureCoins when you get the Hollowborn Chest pet (items available in the pet's shop).

The Hollowborn Collection includes:

• Hollowborn Collection chest pet (has shop for all the gear)
• Hollowborn Lightning pet (with quest for character page badge)

The Hollowborn Chest is seasonal, and will return every Black Friday. (Please note, the Hollowborn Chest does not receive new items each year, and will not receive the 2021 Hollowborn Judge or DoomKnight farming items. You can battle the boss this weekend to unlock those.)

We’re very sorry, but we cannot offer exchanges or compensation or exchanges on IoDA choices when an item is recoloured and released for Black Friday or Cyber Monday anymore.  The IoDA program allows you to access rare items you would not otherwise have access to. Due to this, and the fact that recolours are not the same as the original items, we can no longer give any additions bonus or compensation for these items.

Achievement Tracker Rewards: The Whys and Whats

A "reward" is, by definition, something that must be earned. It's given in return for service, merit, hardship, etc.

• For players who unlock the "Time Played" badges, the achievement tracker gear is a reward for their dedication and stamina, for staying with our community.
• For players who unlock the "Sagas Completed" badges, the achievement tracker gear is a reward for their skill and drive to complete the many in-game sagas.
• For players who unlock the "Loyalty" badges, the achievement tracker gear is a reward for having the desire and ability to financially support the development of the game.

Achievement tracker gear is a bonus, an extra bit of "oomph" to make the act of reaching the goals even more awesome!

For those of you unlocking new achievements this year, I hope you enjoy your bonuses! For those of you who are SO CLOSE to beating that saga or reaching that anniversary, keep at it! For those of you who have helped allow us to continue updating each week, thank you for your support! 

Remember: none of the achievement tracker rewards go rare. If you can't get the thing you want today, it will still be here tomorrow, next month, and next year!

Darkon has successfully summoned the Primordial Judgement. But now, YOU must battle through the unrecognizable city to rescue whatever survivors you can find... IF the members of The Scale don't stop you. A reckoning awaits you in... /astraviajudge!

To help you bring the pain to any enemies you encounter in battle, Darkon and Rare crafted a series of incredibly wicked new reward and shop items for you to collect and equip!

Monster drops:

• La's Armor
• La's Eyepatch & Morph helms
• La's Coat cape & Trumpet mace
• Liquified Life-Force & Juror house items
• Astravia Castle house

Merge shop:

• Mi's Attire armor
• Mi's Sleeveless Attire armor
• Mi's Morph, Hair, & Antennae helms

And don't miss the rest of this month's update. See the full release lineup here: AdventureQuest Worlds calendar.

New Weekly Challenge Boss: King Drago

What if the Hero met Re instead of La during the attack on Astravia Castle? If you survive Astravia's Judgement and are at least level 80, talk to redacted at the end of /astraviajudge to take on King Drago himself!

In this scenario, Re has just finished leading the charge through Astravia Castle, slaughtering most of Drago’s army in her wake. All that remains is King Drago and his 2 top generals, but Drago is empowering them through his magic. Can The Hero defeat Drago before Judgement arrives and liquifies everyone? That's for you to decide.

King Drago can be defeated once a week* for 5 of his Insignias, which can be used to unlock new Astravian themed items!

• Prince Darkon's Poleaxe: Requires level 80. Deals 75% more damage to Humans when equipped
• Dene's Axe: Requires level 80. Deals 40% more damage to Humans when equipped
• Algie's Bow: Requires level 80. Deals 40% more damage to Humans when equipped
• Drago's Royal Guard: Requires level 80. Gives 35% more Experience and Class Points when equipped
• Drago's Royal Guard's Helmet: Requires level 80. 
• Drago's Royal Guard's Cloak: Requires level 80. 

King Drago battle tips:

• King Drago is being protected by his two top generals, Executioner Dene and Bowmaster Algie. As long as they are alive, no harm can befall Drago. 
• Being the lazy King he is, Drago does nothing throughout the entire fight. Your real battle is with his generals.
• The more Executioner Dene attacks, the more defense he gains, and the more defense you lose!
• The more Bowmaster Algie attacks, the more damage he gains, and the more damage you lose!
• Bowmaster Algie has positioned himself strategically.
• You have about 3 minutes to defeat Drago before Judgement arrives.

*Weekly quests reset every Friday at 12:01 AM EST. If you complete a weekly quest on a Thursday, it will be available again on Friday!

Treasure Chests?

There is a small chance to get a mysterious Treasure Chest as a reward drop when you battle ANY monster in-game. Have you found one yet?

Treasure chests are a fun - but completely optional - way to get exclusive items in AdventureQuest Worlds. The chests have a less than 1% chance of dropping from ANY monster in the entire game. Each one contains one of over 215 epic items that you can't get anywhere else (and the number will keep growing)!

• All of the items are 0 AC so you can store them for free 
• All of the items are non-member so you can use them forever

There's just one problem. You can't open the Treasure Chests without a Magic Key. The good news is that Twilly (the little red Moglin in Battleon) has a few extras and will happily sell you one for 200 ACs and open your chest for you.

Monthly Membership Perk Arrives Wednesday, December 1st

Server Issues Update

Server Instability Being Investigated

Over the last couple of weeks, we've been experiencing some server instability, where they are lagging or unresponsive. Captain Rhubarb is tracking down the cause and has several potential fixes in testing. Servers are still online, and we will get return to normal levels of stability as soon as humanly possible.

The server hamsters have been re-enrolled in an intensive boot camp to improve endurance and performance. I'm happy to say, they have passed with flying colors and are now rolling in their hamster balls faster than ever!

Server & Client Dev Blog #1

Thar She Blows!

Welcome to the first of many dev blogs for the server & client team up with Captain Rhubarb and 133spider! These dev blogs will keep you, the player, up to date with what’s coming up next for the many functional changes coming to AQWorlds! We are aware of the overwhelming suggestions being provided to us from the hardcore and loving fans, but in order to fufill those wishes, we must take it on with one big update at a time! Sit back, relax, and HEAVE-HO!

To address the overwhelming requests for the following features:

• Outfit Sets
• Cosmetic Slots
• Multi-buy, sell, turn-in, merge, enhance, etc.
• ...and many more!

We will at the very least let you know that we plan to implement ALL of these features in “update batches” called the Inventory Rework Update! The update is currently still in the brainstorming phase.

Once more, please be aware that we must focus on one big update at a time to ensure the quality of the update.

House Updates on the Horizon!

A few weeks back, we showcased the potential to own more than one house item! Last week, we sneaked in an early release at a new house feature where players were able to equip different houses without resetting any of the house items! There was also a small increase to the amount of house items players were able to place down. 

In the upcoming house update, we will release the following:

• MASSIVELY large boost to house item placement space!
• More house inventory slots
• More buyable house item slots
• Stackable house items (Own more than one house item!)
• Option to horizontally flip a house item
• Better UI

November Class Changes

Class Changes for November 5, 2021

The purpose of this week’s class changes is to balance the performance of several late-game classes by adjusting their performance levels so that they are appropriate for their respective progression points. This means that classes that are supposed to be at certain tiers still perform at a level intended for them, may no longer be as large a leap from the previous stages. Classes that have been disproportionately buffed or nerfed by changes have been adjusted back to their intended performance levels.

We have also made adjustments to the Focus aura on some of the classes that utilize it for challenge boss fights, with the intent to create more interactive mechanics in the future.
 

Chaos Slayer

Chaos Slayer's farming performance has greatly benefited from the respawn time and aura-on-kill changes, so we're reducing its damage output while in AoE mode, but making its heal more consistent for both modes, placing it back where it used to be, while affording it some quality of life improvements.

Chaos Blade:
- Now applies Chaos Blight only when Chaorrupted is active
- If Chaorrupted is not active, instead applies Chaos Affliction, which increases outgoing damage by 1%, stacks to 30 and lasts 5 seconds

Surge:
- Surge: Heal now always activates
- Surge: Barrier can now activate alongside Surge: Heal at a 50% chance
- Reduced power of Surge: Heal proportionally

Chrono Assassin

The fix to Haste stacking and changes to Awe Enhancements have caused Chrono Assassin's damage output to far exceed what was intended for it. To address this, we have reduced the damage of its Relapse skill and corrected the values on its Condense Time aura to match the amounts that are stated in its skill description.

Relapse:
- Damage reduced
- Mana cost: 12 > 6

Convert:
- Condense Time now increases Crit Chance and Crit Damage by the intended amount

Legion Revenant

Legion Revenant has been underperforming as of late, so we're increasing the range of all its skills and giving its Wicked Purgatory skill a couple more targets to hit, to better spotlight its performance as a farmer, and keep it competitive as one of the best farmers.

All Skills:
- Range changed to infinite

Atramentous Shade:
- Mana cost: 25 > 10

Wicked Purgatory:
- Max targets: 1 > 3 (damage distribution method still the same as the other skills)
- Mana cost: 30 > 15

Depraved Empowerment:
- Mana cost: 30 > 15
- Cooldown: 10 seconds > 6 seconds

Anathema:
- No longer applies Ars Arcanum
- Mana cost: 45 > 20

Vampire Lord

The changes to the Health Vamp Awe Enhancement have allowed Vampire Lord to match, and in certain situations exceed endgame farming classes, so we're reducing the frequency at which it can auto attack. The class now performs closer to what it was intended to, and what it used to.

Slash:
- Cooldown: 2 seconds > 2.5 seconds

Void Highlord

A lot of recent changes made Void Highlord overwhelmingly strong in every category, so much that it was overtaking niches of numerous other classes. This is due in part to VHL-specific buffs, game engine updates such as the recent aura-on-kill change, as well as other changes before it (including HP cost skills not causing disconnections). Therefore, its performance has been adjusted accordingly -- we intend for it to remain one of the best classes in its category, just not necessarily THE best class in nearly every situation.

Contract:
- No longer applies Abyssal Sacrifice (see Armageddon)
- Soul Breach DoT damage reduced

Shackle:
- Range changed to melee

Highlord's Gaze:
- Congealed now applies a flat -20% reduction to Haste, Hit, and Dodge (was previously only increasing by 5% per stack)
- Mana Cost: 30 > 20

Unshackle:
- Range changed to melee

Armageddon:
- Now applies Abyssal Sacrifice
- Mana Cost: 60 > 50

Relentless Onslaught:
- Crit Chance and Hit Chance: 15% > 20%

Undying Highlord:
- Abyssal Sacrifice now increases all damage taken instead of physical damage taken
- Abyssal Sacrifice max stacks: 20 > 10
- Abyssal Sacrifice duration: 8 seconds > 20 seconds

Yami no Ronin

Giving Yami no Ronin an overall damage boost in both its dodge and damage modes and adjusting the durations of its Ichi, Ni, and San auras to improve the flow of its skill rotations.
Additionally, some skills on the class have been renamed to better reflect the design concept, and sound more realistic.

General:
- Some skills have been renamed

Batto and Kettou (formerly Dakuaktto and Kyuketsu):
- Flash outgoing damage, incoming damage, Hit Chance, and Crit Chance per stack: 5% > 4%

Tachi (formerly Sutoraiku):
- Ichi duration: 7 seconds > 9 seconds
- San duration: 7 seconds > 5 seconds
- San Crit Damage: 50% > 150%

Hisome (formerly Suteresu):
- Dodge: 75% > 80%

Gouyuu (formerly Sokudo):
- No longer increases incoming damage
- Now increases outgoing damage by 35

Chaos Avenger

As stated in our Dev Blog, Chaos Avenger was balanced around Void Highlord's previous performance levels, so we have reduced the damage output of Chaos Avenger accordingly. Additionally, we have moved the Focus aura from the Fury Unleashed skill to the Flux skill so that damage no longer has to be sacrificed in order to taunt.
The durations of several other skills have been adjusted to compensate for how the class will play, forming a better core skill rotation.

Chaos Greatsword:
- Damage reduced
- Mana restored: 50 > 60

Chaos Siphon:
- Defense Chaorrupted incoming damage per stack: 8% > 5%
- Defense Chaorrupted max stacks: 5 > 8
- Cooldown: 8 seconds > 6 seconds

Flux:
- Now applies Focus for 4 seconds
- Chaorrupted debuff durations: 15 seconds > 20 seconds
- Cooldown: 8 seconds > 15 seconds

Chaos Bulwark:
- Cooldown: 8 seconds > 6 seconds

Fury Unleashed:
- No longer applies Focus

Dragon of Time

Dragon of Time has been falling behind its fellow late-game classes, so we're giving it a boost in farming and bossing performance, based on feedback from you all. We intend it, along with other late-game classes, to be a link between midgame and endgame.

All Skills:
- Rend max stacks: 10 > 5, DoT damage per stack increased

Rend Time:
- Damage increased

Dragon's Will:
- Mana cost: 20 > 15
- Cooldown: 4 seconds > 3 seconds

Burning Fates:
- Now always hits
- Searing Timeline DoT Resistance: -50% > -150%
- Searing Timeline duration: 5 seconds > 7 seconds

Hero's Heartbeat:
- Cooldown: 10 seconds > 8 seconds

Convergence of Destiny:
- Discordance DoT Boost per stack: 10% > 25%
- Discordance max stacks: 25 > 10
- Discordance duration: 7 seconds > 9 seconds

Divergent Providence:
- Endurance reduction: -50% > -40%

Split Timelines:
- Principles of Gravitation activation chance: 20% > 50%

Changes to Focus

We have begun to evaluate loopable taunts as they remove the need to plan around the threat of multi-target attacks from challenge monsters. With that in mind, the following classes have had adjustments made to their Focus auras. Please note that we may continue to make more changes to Focus auras in the future.

ChronoCommander

Time Rift:
- No longer applies Focus (see Severed Rift)

Severed Rift:
- Now applies Focus for 4 seconds

Naval Commander

Strike'n'Parry:
- No longer applies Focus (see Flintlock Fury)

Flintlock Fury:
- Now applies Focus for 4 seconds
