Battleon’s Seamstress Extraordinaire has magical new clients… the Tailor Scouts! These powerful mages have an epic battle waiting for them on the moon; but, first, they need some improvements. Help Winnie gather the best materials to get the Scouts battle ready.
Winnie’s Magical Clients
The Tailor Scouts have come to Battleon’s best tailor, Winnie, for new combat outfits. They are preparing for an epic fight and their current clothes are a bit battle worn. However, time is running out and Winnie is still short on materials. It’s all hands on deck. Will you help the Tailor Scouts gather the rest of the materials they need?
The Epic Battle!
There’s nothing wrong with a little extra help. At least, that’s what Winnie thinks. You’ve proven yourself very capable, so she’d like you to join the Tailor Scouts in their big fight. They are going to eradicate the Xenoscythe invasion on the Moon.
Plus, Jongaar wrote an anime-inspired soundtrack just for this release.
Winnie herself drew this recreation of the Tailor Scouts.
Tailor Scout Gear
You’re an honorary Tailor Scout, thanks to all of your help! Collect the Glitter that appears when you defeat a Xenoscythe enemy and bring it back to Tailor Scout Melanie. With enough, you can get a full Tailor Scout outfit and a matching Sword or Wand, or both!
Blaze a Trail of Friendship
For a handful of DragonCrystals, you can have a magical travel trail in one of the colors of the Tailor Scouts, or even a rainbow trail with the most powerful magic of all: Friendship.
Which color will you choose?
Emerald
Tourmaline
Ruby
Sapphire
Topaz
Friendship (Rainbow)
Dragon Crystal Bonus Extended!
We don’t want the Bonus to end… There’s no such thing as too much of a good thing, right? Get 50% extra DragonCrystals with your purchase from the Upgrade Shop while the bonus is on!

Next week is the first Friday the 13th of the year! Get ready for a horrifying new adventure!
Are you ready for the final boss fight of the year? Join us in AQ3D to complete the entire Lolosia Saga. Complete the Sea God’s Trident and reach the new level cap of 42! Plus, we’re preparing for the New Year’s Eve Live Events.
The Shipyard (Dungeon)
King Nautilus will help repair the trident but Atlantis will be vulnerable to the Sea Ogres with him being distracted by this task. Find the Shipyard and stop the Sea Ogre incursions once and for all. Inside this dungeon you will battle your way through Sea Ogres, dangerous sea animals, and… darkness.
Hint: Look for the sand paths and use pools of Light to combat the Darkness.
The Sea God Rises (Boss Fight)
Race to the water’s surface to face the Sea God once the trident has been reforged. Amongst the debris of shipwrecks, avoid the Sea God’s tentacles and combat his powerful attacks with help from your friends. You must find a way to subdue him to bring peace to all who sail, and live in, the sea. Talk to Aquella to replay the story version of this fight, or play the level 40 Challenge with up to 10 of your fellow players.
Note: There is also a chance to pick up a Coral Headpiece which resembles Atlantean Water Elf ears.
Aqua Soldier Gear (Level 40+)
You can obtain pieces of Aqua Soldier gear from the Shipyard and the Sea God fight. However, Sulfin has returned to his shop with Kenai in the city of Atlantis. They have shops to help you acquire missing pieces and upgrade their power stats, if you like.
King Nautilus Set (Cosmetic)
The Royal Guards know how you can get your hands on a set of King Nautilus’s clothing. Earn enough Royal Favor to persuade the palace tailors to let you take home a set of your own.
2022 Frostval Collection
Huzzah, it’s here! Visit Blizzy in Battleon or in the town of Winter’s Grasp to get the 2022 Frostval Collection now. Buy the Collector’s Chest and get the title “Frosted”.
Elvira is Preparing to Leave AQ3D
Elvira has moved next to the Travel Portal in preparation to leave the game. All access to 20th Anniversary content has moved with her and is only available on Elvira now. When Artix finishes his Live Events on New Year’s Eve, Elvira and all of the 20th Anniversary content will be removed. The individual mini-game maps will return to the game permanently after we have done some re-working to completely remove some of our special guests from the content. 20th Anniversary Troves will be able to be completed when the maps return.
Artix will be back for his New Year’s Eve Live Events to ring in 2023 around the world. This year he will only be able to host 3 Live Events, but we encourage you all to ring in the new year with your friends in AQ3D as well.
Also, go get your New Year’s gift from Artix’s Holiday Presents shop.

Mayor Kayne
The mayor is busy getting ready for the big celebration. Everyone is welcome. Care to lend a hand? And maybe you can help him find out what is behind the mysterious beast sightings recently. Word seems to have spread and drawn the attention of Hale, a monster hunter.
The Monster of Mount Scrunch
Hale is certain the reports of the beast sightings point to werewolves, but Mayor Kayne is not convinced. Follow the beast up Mount Scrunch and learn what this beast is once and for all.

Where is the Atlantis Finale?
The team has been working hard on the new maps, dungeons, and overall gameplay experience; however, we do not currently feel that it is ready for release. After discussing it with our team, we decided that delaying the release is what was best for the wellbeing of the team and the player experience. Since players frequently request that we take the extra time to give the best quality experience that we can, we feel confident that you will support our decision. So, we are giving ourselves a couple extra weeks to release a finale worth waiting for.
One of the setbacks faced was with the Unity upgrade. Our system has been long out of date because it takes a lot of dev time to make our game compatible with the new features in an upgrade. However, we have seen the issues that persist from being out of date becoming more frequent. During the upgrade process we ran into some kinks that require our devs to go in manually to fix. We ended up reverting the upgrade for now until we can set aside the dedicated time required to successfully resolve these issues. As of now, we have no concrete estimate of when the upgrade will happen; though it will be the start to solving long-standing bugs and providing a better experience for everyone.
Black Friday/Cyber Monday Shops Extended
With the delay of the Atlantis Finale, we have decided to keep the Black Friday and Cyber Monday shops in-game for one more week.
