The name’s Bons… Bons-Eye.
"I see you found my undercover stakeout location here in the tavern… Since you show such a talent for finding things that don’t want to be found, maybe you could find my “License to Kale”? I’ve a feeling that dastardly Harbusher may have found it, so perhaps you could check there? You’ll be rewarded handsomely of course…"

Also, look forward to an extra surprise or two...
Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team
Darkon is back in Battleon to celebrate his birthday with horrifying new items!
Darkon is in town right now, relaxing on Battleon Bridge. He is selling off his collection, claiming that he has "too much of them." We aren’t sure why he calls his items "debris", but if you ask me, there’s something strange and sinister about ALL of them. You can buy these items from his birthday shop. You will also find Creatures 72 and 72.b in there. Trust them completely. And don't forget to wish Darkon a happy birthday!
Darkon's Creatures & Debris
Darkon’s Debris 11 (Spear)
Darkon’s Debris 25 (Big choppy sword)
Darkon’s Debris 31 (Big pointy sword)
Debris Halo 31 (Spiky and floaty)

Creature 83 Hat (We remember saying to not do this)
Creature 72 Pet & Travel Form (Adorable)
Creature 72.b Pet and Travel Form (Adorable in it’s own special way)
Creature 72 and 72.b
While it’s brother is twisted and terrifying, Creature 72.b will float around and keep you company, and definitely doesn’t need to be watched at all times! Believe it or not, Creature 72 only has your best interests at heart!
The Frost Summoner Cometh!
Frostval Siege is now working as it’s supposed to. With the war meter fixed, you are guaranteed a confrontation with the boss... as long as you survive the waves long enough to meet him. And in the great deserts of the Sandsea, the mighty djinn Khal-No’Bir has decided to take his Magic Arrow skills down a peg for the brave adventurers who dare to face his might.
Things leaving AQ3D, for now...
Blaze’s Birthday Bonfire is now over, as he takes his leave from Battleon Social District! It won’t be empty for long though, watch out for something different next week! See you in Frostval. Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team
Frostval is that special time of year when heroes and moglins gather 'round the Frostval tree... and fight Yettun in their caves!
The joy and relief of heroes protecting Frost Moglins from being eaten by Yettuns is the true meaning of Frostval. Not to be confused with Frostvale, which is the wintery land that is also plagued by snow and ice creatures of all types, and Frostlorn and friends in the castle.
Battleon is being decorated for the holidays!
The festive mood is overtaking Battleon. The citizens of Battleon have equipped their winter best as the weather turns to frost and snow begins to pile up near the travel portal. Yulgar and his regulars at the inn are excited to celebrate Frostval, so they’ve decorated the area and started wearing their most thematic Frostval outfits!
Seasonal Frostval areas are now open
Find Blizzy the Frostval Moglin at the Travel Portal and you'll find...
Frostval Labyrinth - Quick travel to the Frostval Holiday map, complete with story, dungeons, and special crafts.
Frostlorn Raiders - Quick travel to the front of this seasonal dungeon in Frostvale.
Battleon Frost Siege available in Battleon’s Social District.
Previous collections are back! You can purchase the items from these collections individually.
Also...
Seasonal items are back in your daily treasure chests!
You can play through the storyline of Frostval too!

Things leaving AQ3D, for now...
Now that Summer is long past, Dottie has returned to Camp Gonnagetcha to make repairs after all the fun and games! Hooper and his Grenwog shops and drops are taking a little break to make room for other things!
Feast your eyes on this!
The Battle Arena is also getting a festive makeover for Frostval. Illuminated trees surrounded by gifts, wreaths adorning the borders, and fluffy white snow flurries. These are a few of the festive aesthetic changes made to the Battle Arena map. This weekend, join the PTR to enter a new PvP map: Battle Feast. This Map takes place in a Grand Feast Hall.

Happy Birthday Blaze! This week’s release marks the very first Blaze’s Birthday Bonfire in AQ3D. We’ve been hard at work preparing for this, with FOUR different Blaze’s to fight, FIVE armor sets, THREE new pets, a new travel form, a new aura, a new gifting item, and a very special summon...
Who is Blaze?
"A long time ago the raw element of fire was threatening to consume the world in flames. Blaze sacrificed his body to control the flame, imbuing him with the power to control fire, ensuring it does not consume the world. The flame slowly burns away at his body and when he uses his power, there are severe consequences. He wants to be a light to the world, but the brighter he burns, the shorter his wick." Blaze in real life is a programmer and game designer for AdventureQuest 3D. His passion is in embracing the community and enhancing the social aspects of our game. You can follow him on Twitter at Twitter.com/BlazeAQ3D

Blaze’s Bapper and the War on UwU
"UwUse your head"
Some are aware of Blaze’s disdain for UwU and OwO, and to those that share this sentiment he has made available copies of the mighty Blaze’s Bapper. Printed in the heavens above and rolled in the fires below, Blaze's Bapper truly is a relic of untold power. In the great UwU war, Blaze's Bapper was told to have bapped at least 10 million on the head. UwU's and OwO's fear this mighty weapon.

Talk to Blaze in the Social District, assist him with a new daily quest to face Shadow Blaze, and be rewarded with BlazeCoins!

Bonus XP Weekend, now with Class XP!
It’s all in the title! Play from Friday November 12th, 12PM EST and earn bonus Class XP as well as Player XP in game!
PvP Class Changes
Ranger Ranger's big AOE spell often takes too long to apply its damage, giving targets more than enough time to move away. This should help Ranger's damage stay more consistent. Ranger - Rain of Arrows * Applies damage over 3 → 1.8 seconds
Ninja Though it may sound appropriate for a Ninja, we felt the class has too much "hidden power" lurking in its abilities. We're taking some of the more passive power away from a couple spells in order to make sure that skillful play is required to get the full benefit from Ninja. - Tempered Blades * Max stacks Attack +30% → +21% - Smokestep * Removed bonus dodge chance
PVP BUFFS Ranged and support classes are currently underperforming in PvP, so we are using the class-specific buffs to make adjustments. Currently we have a Melee buff, and we're adding 2 more categories: Ranged and Support. Classes that cover multiple categories will receive the buffs from both. The only exception is Mage since the class is already doing quite well in PvP. - Melee Buff * +15% Max Health * +10% Movement Speed * Moglomancer now receives both portions of this buff instead of only the movement speed * Received by Warrior, Rogue, Guardian, Dragonslayer, Paladin, Ninja, Berserker, and Moglomancer
- Ranged Buff * +10% Damage * Received by Healer, Ranger, Pirate, and Necromancer
- Support Buff * +20% healing output * Received by Healer, Paladin, and Moglomancer
PVP SPELLS We're overall pretty happy with the variety of PvP Spells in use, though we want to encourage more healing from support classes (from the PvP Buffs) while not increasing fight durations too much, so we're lowering the heal from Recover. We also want Swiftcast to have usage on more classes than just Mage, so we're adding some Auto-Attack speed to make it more attractive. - Recover * Health recovery 15-30% → 10-20% - Swiftcast * Now increases Auto-Attack Speed by 30%
Next week, a HOT new release
It’s Blaze’s Birthday Bonfire! He’s taking over the Social District in Battleon with a massive conflagration of monsters, unique items, and all of the FUN! Keep an eye out for it next week, it's gonna be fire. In fact you could even say it's lit. See you in game. Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team
Log In for the November Special Promotion and XP Boost Weekend!
Galvanite the baby dragon pet and travel form
A black dragon that was born with an unnatural ability to produce electricity through the glowing parts of its body. Galvanite, or Galvin as his friends call him, is here to help, ready to bring some shock and awe to your adventures!
This pet is included with all packages from the Upgrade Shop, including Guardian and Lore Strider. Guardian packages also give the travel form version. Check your Pet and Travel Form inventories on your next log in after purchase.
What if I'm already a Guardian?
Great! When you buy any package, you will get the Galvanite pet and the travel form directly added to your inventory.
If you miss the promotional period, Guardians can still get the travel Form... but you'll miss out on the Galvanite pet! Head to the Guardian Tower to talk to Fortes. He has a new shop for "Special Guardian Rewards" where you can buy the Galvanite Travel Form and any other travel forms released through these special promotions with Guardian Class Tokens. Make sure you completed the Guardian Initiation to unlock class gear.

Enter The Temple of Death! AdventureQuest 3D’s toughest challenge yet...
"You think you’ve defeated me? You can’t even begin to imagine my full power!"
Skorpienne is back, bigger and badder than before! You’ll need to gather your most powerful friends to help you face her at full power in The Temple of Death…
The Temple of Death - Raid
Defeating Skorpienne in The Temple of Death is no easy task, with multiple phases to battle through, and new tactics that will end the fight if you fail to defeat her. Be careful, and don’t get overwhelmed by her armies! Shatter her Destruction Diamonds before she destroys the whole Temple and defeats you all. Pick up some quests from Sekt before heading to the Great Pyramid to join the Temple of Death raid. We used a similar queue system to the Battle Arena. Make sure you have at least 751 total average power equipped. Skorpienne will only face worthy opponents. When all ten players are ready, you will be teleported to the Raid. *Note: You can check your average power in the Equipped Gear section of your inventory.
The Rewards
This week’s release is packed with epic rewards for defeating the fully powered Skorpienne! Defeating her in battle gives you a chance to obtain the following from the reward chest…
Hollowed Champion Bow
Hollowed Champion Dagger
Hollowed Champion Greatsword
Hollowed Champion Scythe
Skorpienne Carapace (crafting materials)
Skorpienne Crystal Fragments (crafting materials)
If you destroy all of the Destruction Crystals and prevent the temple from being destroyed, a second special chest will drop with…
“Battalion” Title
Extra Skorpienne Crystal Fragments
Extra Skorpienne Carapace
Of course, there are also a couple of extremely rare items in both chests, but we’ll just let you find out what they are :)
Hollowed Champion Crafting
Visit Sekt to craft the Hollowed Champion armor set and weapons after you’ve slayed Skorpienne again!
There are still secrets in the haunted ballroom, do you dare to find them?
Talk to Umbra, a mysterious interloper at the Masquerade when your reputation is rank 10... A creature of the night made off with one of her valued heirlooms, and she needs help getting it back.

Finish the Sandsea Saga
Play some PvP
Visit the Masquerade of the Macabre
Play through the story
The most efficient way to get your average power level to 751 is to utilize a combination of the following gear:
Infuse pieces of the Void Sharken to +15 power offset or 15/15 infusion.
Use Zhoom’s Bow; rewarded by completing the Sandsea Saga or any other weapon that can be infused to +15 or 15/15.
Infuse additional pieces of Crocos gear to +10 or 10/10.
You need at least 2 items fully infused to 755 Power level and the rest infused to 750 power level to get access to the raid. You can keep checking your average power by clicking Equip Best in your Inventory until the average equals 751 or more. See you in game. Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team
