Need a refresher on everything you've experienced in the Sandsea Saga until the finale? Watch this trailer!
The Keeper of Death awaits!
This week, it’s time to see where all the twists and turns of the labyrinthian Sandsea Saga have led to! The final chapter in the saga will see you venturing into the Keeper of Death Sanctuary to intervene in Lord Sekt’s attempt to wish for greater power! Will Skorpienne, the Keeper of Death and creator of the Lamp fulfill Lord Sekt’s wish or does she have other plans for the rapidly weakening Immortal Pharaoh of the Sandsea? And what surprises could the Voidrakar have in store? After all, Vane and his minions have been cooking up a devious plan regarding the Lamp… What will occur in the finale? You’ll just have to play to find out!
Epic Final Battle
The end of a saga also means an epic final battle! The line between friend and foe will be blurred when the fate of the entire Sandsea is at stake. Will you and your allies be able to topple a threat of the likes you have not yet seen!
Skorpienne’s Wardrobe
We know many of you are excited to see the debut of Skorpienne, Keeper of Death. That’s why we went ahead and made her outfit available to you all! To craft her set visit Sekt in his Pyramid and he’ll send you on quests to gather the materials needed to craft Skorpienne’s Wardrobe from the repeatable boss fight. However, if repeat runs of this fight isn’t for you, we have made Skorpienne’s cosmetic set available to be bought for DC’s as well!
Zhoom’s Bow
Early in the Sandsea Saga, Zhoom gave you his bow to allow you to proceed in your quest to find the magic lamp. Zhoom’s Ancestral Bow is famed for its quality, still able to make precise shots like no other. With high Attack and Haste stats, its wielder can quickly overwhelm any monster that crosses their path! Who knows? Perhaps it will find a new owner by the end of this tale…
New Titles and Special Reward
Heroic efforts deserve equally heroic titles, right?! Show off your part in The Sandsea Saga and wear your titles with pride. You’ll receive the “Sandsea Protector” title upon completing the Saga. Also, everyone’s favorite historian Nigel Fuzzybum has a special gift for those who have completed the Lost Sandsea Scrolls quest line: a Sandsea Scroll cosmetic weapon and the title “Dune Scroller”! Go see Nigel in Bastion and accept the quest called “A Token of Historical Appreciation” to receive your rewards.

This set is also a not-so-secret clue as to AdventureQuest 3D's upcoming new saga.

With the end of The Sandsea Saga, many of you may be wondering what’s next. The answer to that is… Mogloween! Keep an eye out for the spooky Cauldron named Myx who will arrive in Battleon next week to welcome you to Mystcroft and with the previous Mogloween collections.

The team got together and decided the finale needs to be the best it can be, so we’re delaying it for a short while. We’re committed to quality, and hope you support us making this decision! After the epic conclusion of the Sandsea Saga, we’ll also be releasing new gear sets purchasable with Sandstorm Capstones (infuseable up to +20!), and another Challenge fight. In the meantime... Talk Like a Pirate Day begins next week (around September 19th) with new quests and new rewards. And we’re finally ending the DC sale at Midnight on Tuesday the 14th (EST), so don’t miss out!

The Djinn's Challenge: The Labyrinth of Persistence
The Djinn’s Challenge
Khal-No’Bir has some new tricks up his sleeve in his new challenges, such as teleporting you out of his room, clouds of death throughout his labyrinth, and a timer that’s slowly ticking down to… Probably certain doom. Win the challenge, and you will be rewarded with Djinn Challenge Treasure! Khal-No’Bir also has a chance to drop some Epic new loot, such as Khal-No’Bir’s Crowned Turban and some Menacing Djinn weapons...
Gauntlet Match Challenge
Winning one battle can be a matter of luck, but can you handle successive victories in a day? Defeat Khal-No’Bir twice in a normal fight, and twice in the challenge fight, and you’ll be richly rewarded!
“Clear the Labyrinth of Persistence”
Khal-No’Bir has another quest for you… and this one you can repeat as many times as you please! Try to clear out his army of Spectral Mummies and Mummy Guards on your way to fight him in his Labyrinth, and earn Djinn Essence, gold, and valuable experience!
The Challenge
You’ve faced him once, but not at full power! Find your way through the twists and turns of The Labyrinth of Persistence, activate the crystals, and face the wrath of the Djinn once more. Watch out for his variety of Area of Effect attacks that deal massive damage, don’t stumble into the clouds of death throughout the labyrinth, and be ready for him to teleport you away. Make sure you stock up on potions, and don’t forget to dodge!
Joined an instance with just a few people? We’ve got some tips for How to Survive Khal-No’Bir:
Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
Dodge the AOEs
Bring some potions
Don’t dally in the dungeon! Move quickly and get back to the fight.
Watch out for the death clouds in the labyrinth.
New drops and crafting
Defeat Khal-No’Bir in his NEW challenge to accrue Solar Djinn Stones. Use these to upgrade the Sun Keeper armor set you’ve spent the whole saga collecting into the new Fallen Sun Keeper set. However, you can only earn the accompanying sword from the Djinn Challenge. Each set piece features a +15 Infusion cap, putting this set on par with the Void Sharken set. And just in time for the Sandsea finale next month…
A suit of armor modeled after the one worn by Sairus, Sandsea’s fabled Keeper of the Sun. The Fallen color scheme symbolizes the Keeper’s fall from grace during her last days in Sandsea…

With the lamp reassembled, you are now able to enter the Djinn’s chamber. Seek the Djinn of the lamp, Khal-No’Bir, within the Great Pyramid, navigate the labyrinth inside, and collect the four hidden crystals. Activate them to be granted entry to Khal-No’Bir’s chamber and defeat him. Deliver the final blow to him and the wish is yours...
The Labyrinth (Dungeon)
Getting to Khal-No'Bir won't be easy, as the Djinn waits for you at the end of a spellbinding labyrinth deep inside the Great Pyramid! To complete The Labyrinth, you must navigate through its treacherous multi-colored halls to find a means to power up the doorway to the Djinn's Chamber. Luckily for you, Lord Sekt is willing to impart on a clue that may help shine a light on your path to Khal-No'Bir...

“Dreadite Wrangler”
Help Slash collect em’ all! There’s a lot of Dreadites out there; some small and squishy, and others big enough to easily squish you. Slash is kind enough to help you get familiar with all the varieties and take down a few of each!

Spikarox! A New Daily Boss Fight for all players
All players can battle Spikarox in the new Daily Boss fight!
Not caught up on the Sandsea Saga, yet? Don’t worry. Players of all levels are welcome to join this fight. The new Sandsea Daily Boss fight just went live. Join us online now for a taste of the Sandsea city of Bastion and some of its deadly desert creatures with great rewards!
I'll scratch your back if you scratch... Scratch's?
Scratch is the half-cat Kitarian from Battleon. He recruits high level heroes to adventure in the Sandsea Desert. You will also find him in this week's new Sandsea Daily Boss fight. Talk to him to learn about the “Pest Invasion” and get a look at the exciting new items you can craft with your rewards.
How do I get to the Daily Boss Fight?
It is super easy. Just open your side menu (you know, the one with three lines) and go to the adventures tab.
“Pest Invasion”
It’s Smacking Day! Every so often the town of Bastion will become overrun with critters from the surrounding Sandsea desert. The residents have created a holiday to reward people for helping to put a smack down on these invasive critters. You’ll need to smack twelve small critters and one big critter. Accept this quest and, for your help, you will receive a Daily Boss Trophy and extra Bug Parts which can be used to craft new items.
Meet the Boss: Spikarox
Spikarox is one big critter, if you can call it that. It is a giant golden scorpion with a deadly poisonous sting. This critter not only poisons you but it spawns baby scorpion minions to do additional damage. Oh yeah, and did we mention Area of Effect attacks? You might want to stock your hotbar with potions and healing spells. Spikarox itself may drop special items including the Broken Telson which is needed to begin crafting the Telson Daggers. Joined an instance with just a few people? Glisel and Rellik wrote some tips for How to Survive Spikarox with a Small Party:
Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
Keep moving/Dodge
Prep a lot of potions
Must have a healer of some type
Use AOEs when baby scorpions are spawned
Try not to trigger attacks from the other monsters in the map
Spikarox Crafting
After you have given a big smack to Spikarox, return to Scratch to turn in your quest and take your Bug Parts to the Spikarox Crafting shop. You will be able to craft four new weapons and a fresh set of Sandsea armor and a belt. All of these items can be upgraded to Epic rarity in the crafting shop with more Bug Parts and the base items.
