An Evening of Quests, Rewards, and Monsters
This is a special Mogloween "farm and chill" release with 51+ incredible rewards... including a boss monster armor set that is so good, you are going to scratch your head and wonder why we did not charge DCs for it.
New stuff at HeroMart
Check out the new real-life drops at our online shop, HeroMart.com.
Happy Mogloween!
We added plenty of drops & rewards to make sure you would be well suited for the Masquerade. For even more items, and to support our weekly releases, please consider buying this year's new Mogloween collection! You can get the pieces individually, or buy the entire collection to save a ton of DragonCrystals, get the badge/title, and unlock permanent year round storage to free up bank space.
Thank you & Game Designer thoughts
This is our favorite time of the year. Thank you for spending it with us! A weeks ago, when I asked Llussion if he could build a ballroom (it looks so beautiful), the idea was to create a place where we could hang out, farm monsters, and chill with friends. Dagger came along and added phases to the dancing. The mysterious figure playing the organ switched the dance floor up. We added a crazy number of quests and a few fun side things for you to discover. This is certainly not intended to be a single sitting event! Please do take your time and enjoy it over the next week.
The team and I really hope you and your friends enjoy this Mogloween release. We will be dropping by to dance and cause trouble with you. Look forward to seeing you there.
Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik and the AQ3D Team

Monstrous Masquerade next week!
You are officially invited to the Monstrous Masquerade next Thursday. The event will take place at an undisclosed location. Not much about this mysterious and very formal special Mogloween event is known. Except for the fact that I am still in the process of writing it XD. The last thing I wrote was the Tower of Necromancy. This release will be a bit more... cozy. So the entire event will take place in a grand ballroom. If you do not already have a mask and formal attire, do not worry... there are PLENTY to collect from this event. So if you are in the mood for some classic AE-style "light hearted dark humor" bring some friends and join us for next week's Masquerade.
Thank you to you and all of the players supporting the game and making our weekly releases possible. If you get this year's 2021 Mogloween Collector's Chest, you will also receive a rare badge and title.
See you in game.
Battle on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AQ3D Team

Rank up and unlock new PvP titles!
Battle for glory! And new shinies!
It has been less than a week since Team vs Team matches were released in AdventureQuest 3D. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, the Red Dragon server has been full, and our team has been hard at work on the improvements and requests from you and other players. While we work on the big ones, you will find new rewards waiting for you in the Battle Hall-- including 4 new titles and a wicked new animated PvP blade.
Volcanic Fury Sword
Forged in magma, the animated fire blazes across the blade of the Volcanic Fury sword. See it for yourself in High Marshall Firebrand's battle arena shop. Use the marks of glory that you earn from PvP to acquire this magnificent blade.
Upon hearing rumors of how many heroes have been hanging out in the Battle Hall.... Auden the traveling vendor set up shop there.
Earn 4 new PvP titles
High Marshal Firebrand has also been granted the authority to bestow FOUR new titles upon the champions of the Battle Arena. Unlock them in the Rewards Shop by battling in PvP and reaching the required glory ranks.
Rank 10 - “Skirmisher”
Rank 30 - “Standing in Line”
Rank 50 - “Glorious”
Rank 75 - “Vanquisher”
Discover new item sets in your Daily Treasure Chests
Each day you log into AdventureQuest 3D, you get to open a treasure chest. Be on the lookout for pieces of the Brazen Buccaneer and Swallow Tail sets.
Brazen Buccaneer set
Show the world that you truly are a fearless corsair with the Brazen Buccaneer set including the Double Cutlass (weapon) and Blunderbuss (pistol), now available in your daily treasure chests!
Swallow Tail set
Parents would often tell stories of the long-lost warrior clan who protected the skies. Although it's unclear if these tales of avian knights were ever true, the stories of their selflessness and Valor have inspired generations to carry on the mantle of an azure feathered protector. Now you can too, with the Swallow Tail armor set, available in your daily treasure chests.
"We found a new place!"
Amala heard about the Battle Hall and decided there must be some good business there! You can now find them in the Battle Hall offering their services.
Coming soon to AdventureQuest 3D
An anything goes, monster filled Masquerade Ball? Each year, it is our tradition to expand Mogloween with some delightfully dark and devious new adventure. Expect an invitation... and regardless of what the rules say, keep your blades and spells at the ready. We did a little dev schedule rearranging. The current order for releases is going to be more PvP improvements, Mogloween 2021 Collection, Masquerade Ball, Skorpienne Max Level challenge fight (Be sure to catch up on the Sandsea story if you have not already completed it!), and then our next saga (in the underworld?) will begin.
Thank you!
We love spending the spookiest months of the year with you. Be sure to check out all of this year's returning Mogloween adventures. Also, when you support the game with ANY purchase you will receive Punkin the cat as a pet. October also marks the 19th anniversary of our Artix Entertainment video game community! How about we do some giveaways from the games and www.HeroMart.com to celebrate? Make sure you’re following @AE_Contests on Twitter and each game on social media, that way you won’t miss out on a chance to win.
Team vs Team matches have just been released in AdventureQuest 3D. This is a major new feature. The first map is called "Battle Falls". (Given how high up the walkways are, this is a VERY appropriate name!) Work with your team to control key areas of the map, and defeat your opponents for even more points! This is the first of many PvP maps.
There are also some epic rewards available for taking part in PvP, start earning them now and show off your prowess everywhere!
The Battle Arena Awaits!
High Marshal Firebrand is waiting on the bridge to tell you everything you need to know about how to play our first PvP mode Control, show you the rewards, and even take you to the Battle Hall where you can queue up to join a team.
Once you’re familiar with the game play, you can use the PvP button in your game menu. This opens up the PvP “Battle Arenas” menu.
Here you can instantly join a queue from wherever you are and be teleported into the PvP map when both teams are ready.
You can also teleport to the Battle Hall to meet up with other players, track your Battle Arena Stats, and your Class Glory Levels. All of your Battle Arenas needs are in this menu.
“Control” the arena!
In Control, you and four teammates will battle another team of five to the death to capture three zones, and gain points over time for controlling them (of course you’ll get points for crushing your enemies too).
There are also temporary Bounty Zones for bonus points. The first team to 750 points wins the match!
Always know where you stand
At the end of each match, a win screen will show the results of the match including how well each player did within their own teams… an extra incentive to try your hardest. Of course, it also shows your loot.
Marks of Glory rewards
Earn awesome new rewards in the Battle Arena by taking part in PvP! Dage, Winnie, and Thyton have been hard at work making new sets for rewards. For each PvP match you play, you will earn Marks of Glory. These Marks can be turned into the Rewards shop on High Marshal Firebrand in the Battle Hall (PvP lobby) or Battleon.
Dage has tapped into his wild side to create the Savage Warlord and Savage Warlord Supreme sets, each with their own unique Swords. Winnie has been channeling the light to make the Knight of Radiance set including a choice of a Staff or Hammer. Thyton felt the call to rule, no matter what, and fashioned the Imperial Usurper set with a mighty Sword.
PvP Interview!
If you have not already seen it, read the PvP interview with AdventureQuest 3D Devs Blaze and Rabblefroth.
Coming soon to AQ3D
The big event this month will be the Masquerade Ball. You are certain to get an invitation. But no one seems to know who the host is....
Next week on AdventureQuest3D, fight Skorpienne at her full power in the new challenge fight, and earn a new Best in Stat set with +20 infusion!
Thank you!
We love the spookiest months of the year. Thank you for being here with us. This month's reward for anyone who supports the game with ANY purchase in the Upgrade Shop is Punkin the Cat. Literally ANY purchase... even the cheapest DC package... you're getting this Punkin pet.
October is also Artix Entertainment’s anniversary! We are celebrating with multiple giveaways for our games and online store, HeroMart.com. Make sure you’re following @AE_Contests on Twitter and each game on social media, that way you won’t miss out on a chance to win.

Mogloween begins! Or... is it Tacoween? O_o
"The smell of pumpkin spice fills the air... with a lil' whiff of taco."
As you read this, the fog has opened revealing a path to the haunted town of Mystcroft. Journey there and discover the haunted house, mad science lab, a graveyard of the dancing dead, and the best drops and shops of previous years. How to get there? Try chatting with the talking black cauldron that is in the center of our hometown. His name is Myx.
Meanwhile, in the social district of our hometown, the notoriously tenacious Tito Taco has returned for Taco Day!
We are kicking off our dark and spooky October festivities early so that the team can focus on next week's major feature release-- team vs team PvP for all players! Receiving rave reviews from testers, our first match mode sends your team in to capture and hold locations. It is a lot of fun and the PvP rewards look awesome!
Mogloween Top 10 List!
Every year, all the content from the previous years return... then, we add something new near the end of October. Here are some things you can do right now!
#1 Town of Mystcroft Talk to Myx the black cauldron to travel to this spookalicious town.
#2 Haunted Mansion The haunted halls of Mystcroft Manor contain 4 wings with devilish surprises! Dare you find The Great Dreamer (of pies) Gourd’thulu?
#3 G'Rave Yard An 100% ebil moglin is either having a dance party, or unleashing an undead invasion. Either way, you better check it out.
#4 Mad Science Lab Dr. Trollenstein is dying to have you come to his Laboratory for a free check up! There's loads of fun and a comparably high survival rate to his last lab.
#5 Mystcroft Fishing Those slime pools are not going to fish themselves. Catch some spooktastic fish.
#6 Trick or Treating Trick or treat! Acquire the sugary goodness from knocking on doors, slaying the various ghouls and ghosts, or completing quests. Once you've collected enough, you can trade it in for bigger and better treats!
#7 Boo-talcorn "Why ya ghost'n me, brah?" Be on the lookout for this rare spawn mini-boss monster.
#8 The Headless Horseman of Mystcroft No longer the head of his class, but somehow still a head above the rest. This rare spawn mini-boss is also located in Mystcroft.
#9 Gourd’thulu If someone had told Charlie Brown he was summoning a C’thulian ancient one, he probably would have stayed clear of that pumpkin patch. Battle this epic boss in the most dangerous wing of the Haunted House.
#10 Trollenstein’s Monster "It's alive! It's aliiiive!" Battle this world boss which sometimes spawns outside the haunted house. Remember, Trollenstein is the name of the scientist, not the monster. Which is extra confusing since the monster is clearly a Trolluk Golem and the scientist is not a Trolluk. Weird O_O
Mogloween 2020 Trove Returns!
Speak to Mayor Mc'Pumpkin to start your very own Mogloween Trove. It is a free collection which you build by turning in items.... and includes your very own UwU Pumpkin Pet!
Taco Day!
Tito the terrific, tenacious taco enthusiast is now back in the Social District. He's waiting to teach you how to make tacos for Taco Day. These tacos are more than just delicious crunchy goodness, they are... money. You can trade them in for items in the Taco Day Shop!
Coming next.... PvP & Masquerade Ball
Each year, we kick off our fall festivities with the return of Mogloween, then we add something new. Rumor has it, there is going to be a Masquerade Ball this year. Maybe you will get an invitation? Before that, get ready for a big feature release: "Team vs Team PvP!" One of the PvP armor sets revealed above.
The best time of the year... begins now.
Taco-ween on! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AdventureQuest 3D Team
Show off your most practical (or best looking) armor for the heat of the SandSea in this week's return of #ScreenShotSaturday.
Use your creativity and be inspired by the most exotic locale of the Sandsea, then show off your favorite in-game screenshots for a chance to score one of five Emperor’s chests or the Grand Prize!
Prizes
1 Grand Prize winner will receive the 2021 Talk Like a Pirate’s Day Collector’s Chest.
5 lucky screenshots will be chosen and awarded an Emperor's Chest in their inventory.
Winners' game names and screenshots will be shown below after the prizes are awarded. **If you already have the collection, please let us know in your post if there is a TLAPD Collection from the previous years you would like instead.**
Above and Beyond
As always, we reserve the right to award additional prizes to screenshot entries that go above and beyond.
How to Participate
Log on to AdventureQuest 3D and prove you’re prepared for the desert with a screenshot. There are many peddlers selling outfits suited to the Sand Sea in game, but we’d recommend heading to Bastion if you’re missing that last piece of gear that could help you handle the heat.
Equip any SandSea set
Take amazing screenshots (solo or with friends) and be creative!
Drop your best ones into the Community Hub "Screenshots" tab with your in-game name by the end of Tuesday, September 28th, for a chance to win.
Ensure Visibility is set to "Public" then click Save Artwork to Community Hub
Remember to add your AQ3D character name to your post! (How would we know who to give prizes to otherwise?) You would not believe how many people missed out on prizes because they did not include their character name on an awesome screenshot.
Good luck everyone! Artix, Glisel, Rellik, and the AdventureQuest 3D Team
