Show Your True Colors...

Celebrate Pride this month and every month!

...This month, and every month! Feeling like you're different, or don't belong, is always a challenge... and that's especially true in today's world. That's why it is so important to recognize that our differences and unique qualities are what make us special. 

The Artix Entertainment community has always been made up of many different heroes. The AdventureQuest Worlds team is as diverse and multi-cultural as our community. And as a team, we feel it's important that we always respect ALL heroes.

That's why, last year, we returned all of the gear bringing with an important change: the seasonal Pride shop became a permanent one. Mi, the non-binary NPC from Darkon's Elegy of Madness Saga, found a new home in the Shinkansen map*, and a new role as the permanent shop vendor. 

They are proud to be Mi, and we believe that you should always be proud of who you are and the struggles you've overcome.

Reward Drops:

• Pastel Rainbow Armor
• 2 Pastel Rainbow Helms
• Joy Explorer Ground Rune

All 4 drops are 0 AC and seasonal, and can be obtained by battling the MMMirage monster in /summerbreak.

Seasonal Shop Gear:

• Joy Explorer, Reversed Joy Explorer, and Joy Wanderer gear
• Prismatic Pride Outfit + accessories
• Rainbow Pride Outfit + accessories
• Shades of Pink Outfit + accessories
• Shades of Violet Outfit + accessories
• Rainbow Crocodile Pet

We have some new rainbow-themed gear coming this month for all heroes to enjoy. And remember: live a life full of color, happiness, joy, and pride. Battle On!

* As Mi says, "There is so much to do and to look at in the Shinkansen, so many different people and cultures. It’s the perfect place to hang out and just be yourself without worrying you’ll stick out. That’s why they chose to set up shop there."

This Weekend: Dragon of Pride

Valsarian says: "Dragons > You!"

The 7 Deadly Dragons Saga continues this weekend as we face… Valsarian, Storm Dragon of Pride! For millennia, dragons were the greatest creatures on Lore… until humans came. Until DragonSlayers came. 

Starting this Friday, your adventure begins in Darkmoor Village, the first town Valsarian's Storm Drakel army has conquered as he begins his press to turn humans into slaves... and Dragons into KINGS! 

Electrifying Reward Gear

Find the Blackbolt armor set in the Ashfall Gear shop for AdventureCoins, and battle Valsarian the Storm Dragon of Pride to collect all the pieces of the BoltStriker set! All of the Storm Drakel have a chance to drop even more reward gear, so get in and get battling!

Battle the second of 7 Deadly Dragons this weekend at www.AQ.com. 

Happy Birthday, Bido!

Long-time hero and guest artist, Bido, levels up in the real world this weekend. He's crafted some celebratory gear to help you /party - find it in the July Featured Shop in your game menu until August 4th!

Deadly Double Server Boost

Get Double Gold, XP, Rep, and CP on the PTR server all weekend!

Log in this weekend to get double Gold, XP, Class Points, and Rep on PTR servers. (That is 100% more!) 

We missed the double server boost on the 4th of July, so we're making it up to you guys this weekend. (Plus, the double boost on the PTR servers is a great incentive for you to check out all the newest changes and fixes.)

The PTR servers are:

• Zorbak
• Safiria
• Testing Server 2

But if you just can't bear to leave the regular servers, you'll still get 15% more Gold, XP, Rep, and Class Points... but you'll be missing out on primo farming bonuses!
