How Do Limited Quantity Sets Work?

1. Log into a special LQS webpage on AQ.com (not into the game!) 
2. Purchase the set using either ACs or gold
3. Log into AQW and find your set badge in the Book of Lore 
4. Get all the items in the badge shop for 0 ACs (yay free storage!)

2018: Year of Revitalization and Enhancements

Zone Revitalization Roadmap

In the last (close to) 10 years, we've introduced over 1,000 unique zones, 3,000+ monsters, and almost more gear than a hero can count. With your help, we've had an incredible amount of amazing adventures, and have built a game we are truly proud of.

But a hero never stops training, and WE never stop working to improve AQWorlds. We've released a new update each week (sometimes multiple updates per week) for over 450 weeks. In any area of life, it is much easier to focus on the NEW and the NOW - whatever you are currently working hardest on. That's true for our teams, too. But it's also really important to make time to revisit what we've done before and improve it where we can. 

That's why, each month in 2018, the development team will revisit one of the game's early zones to polish, enhance, and improve what we've created.

The Goal: take the early zones in AQWorlds and polish them until they shine as bright as new.

• Smooth out quest progression and story flow (you should always know exactly where to go and what to do next)
• Clean up monster levels and balance, and revise target levels per zone (so you know if the monsters in an area are too high or low for your level)
• Add new reward drops to monsters, giving experienced heroes a reason to return to earlier areas
• Other adjustments, changes, fixes, and improvements depending on the zone

We want to make sure all the new heroes joining us each week have as polished and fun an experience as possible, and that we address any outstanding issues lingering in the favorite zones of our long-time, legendary heroes.

Before each revitalization begins, we'll give all our players, old and new, a chance to give targeted, focused feedback on the coming zone. We'll use that input as we map out plans for each area's adjustments, fixes, and improvements. Keep an eye out for where you can submit your Battleon and Greenguard feedback soon.

Revitalization Schedule

January: Battleon + GreenGuard

February: Prologue + Invasion + The Truce

March: Chiral Valley + Dwarfhold

April: Yokai

May: Darkovia

June: Doomwood

July: Friday the 13th (all previous events) 

August: Mirror Realm + the Chaos Twins

September: Talk Like a Pirate Day (all previous events)

October: Mogloween (all previous events)

November: Harvest Fest 

December: Frostval

Important Details

Will the art change? 

We also know that many of you heroes who've been with us since the beginning LOVE the art style of the earlier areas. Do not worry -- we will not be giving these areas a facelift -- the NPCs, monsters, and gear you know and love will stay the way you remember. Our focus with the zone revitalizations is to improve the feel and flow of each area, not overhaul its appearance.

Will this reset progress in the storylines?

No, your progress should not be reset in any of the storylines. 

How deep will these changes go?

The revitalization will be the full focus of the dev team each week, so changes and improvements will go as deep as we can/as needed.

The rules and guidelines are short‘n sweet but MUST be followed accordingly for your edible entry to be eligible. I repeat, in boldface and in red font, ‘cuz a lot of people miss this: YOU must follow EACH rule if you want your entry to be considered eligible.   

The easiest way to make sure your hard work gets judged: Read all of the rules before submitting your entry! 

• Your dessert MUST be created by YOU. 
Do not copy someone else’s hard work. That my friend is called cheating, and you will be disqualified for it.

• Include an index card/piece of paper/ icing signature that says your AQW Character Name alongside your tasty treat. 
This way we really know it’s made by you! And NO, photoshopping your name onto your picture DOES NOT COUNT, and you will be disqualified if you do. 

• Your dessert MUST be created in some sort of Artix Entertainment theme. 
Create anything you want from AQW, EpicDuel, BladeHaven, DragonFable, MechQuest, AdventureQuest, and WarpForce!  If we cannot tell what it is from our games, you will not be qualified. 

• Your canvas must be a cookie, cake, pie, or any other form of holiday dessert. 
Mmmm, get creative! (Note, judges have final say as to what counts as a "dessert")

• The photo of your dessert should be of the Highest Quality. 
The more clear the picture, the better and tastier it will look, upping your chance at the Grand Prize! 

• Remember to post a VALID link to your dessert photo! 
Uploading your photo to your Facebook does not allow us to see the photos via the Forums. Also, if you upload your photo to your LOCKED image-sharing account, we cannot see it either. So make sure your link is valid and isn’t locked to the public!

Preheating The Oven: Enter the Contest!

This Week: Immortal Chronomancer + Quibble Gear

Get your gear before it's gone!

This weekend, talk to Quibble Coinbiter in Battleon this weekend to see all of his new Frostval 2017 rare items, available in his shop and Frostval Collection Chest.  Plus, unlock the Immortal Chronomancer Class and armor set when you buy the Immortality Key from Vinara in Battleon town. 

Quibble's Frostval Rares Update

Last week, Quibble Coinbiter returned to Battleon bearing all-new, icy gear from the past, present, and future. This week, he's back with another bag of goodies for his shop, including the:

• Ebil Claws armor set
• Frostfang Paragon Rider bank pet
• Frostvale ULTRA TopHat

And if you have Quibble's Frostval Collection Chest, you'll find his new gear in your shop automatically this Friday.

Immortal Chronomancer Class

This Friday, unlock the Immortal Chronomancer Class and armor set when you buy the Immortality Key from Vinara in Battleon town*. This is the in-game variant of the Eternal Chronomancer Class, which is unlocked when you get the 2018 Artix Entertainment Calendar from HeroMart. 

If you purchased the 2018 Calendar from HeroMart, when you log in this weekend, you'll find the Immortal Chronomancer set in your calendar badge shop.

Historically, in-game Calendar Classes were only available when you bought a physical calendar from HeroMart. Last year was the first year we released an in-game variant, due to issues with rising shipping prices and payment provider availability (example: Paypal was no longer accepted in certain countries).

Over the last year, Stryche from HeroMart has worked tirelessly to reduce the cost of international shipping costs, and we are in the process of getting additional payment methods for countries that are currently locked out.

Because of those improvements, this is the last year we will feature an in-game calendar class variant. Next year, we'll go back to having the Calendar Classes as HeroMart-exclusive rewards, as the calendar classes were originally intended to be.

* The 2017 Timelock Key and ShadowStalker of Time gear has been moved from Chronix to Vinara, as well.

December 13, 2017

This Weekend: The Wilde Hunt Begins

Frosty Fights, Cool Rewards

If you journey down the /snowpath to Frostvale, you'll find an enchanted Snowman waiting for you. But beware -- this isn't some friendly, gift-giving creature. This is an ice-cold monster under a deadly enchantment. 

December 12, 2017

Coming Soon: The Wilde Hunt Finale

Frostval 2017 Event Boss Battle

Your journey to find and free the young of ColdWind Valley will take you deep underground. One thing stands between you and victory: an ancient horror’s ravenous hunger. Log in Friday, December 22nd, for the finale of this year’s Frostval event!

Battle the event mini-boss and boss for all-new seasonal reward drops:

• the Ragnarok Cavalier set
• the Festive Frolic set

Next Friday... It Wakes

Join us for our all-new 2017 Frostval event!

Deep underneath the frozen Northlands, the darkness rumbles. Aboveground, human, yeti, and moglin children play, excited for the coming holiday. Faint sounds of laughter and music filter down through rocks and snow, and an ancient horror stirs. It wakes knowing only one thing… HUNGER.
