It’s Friday The 13th and the start of a new tradition!
How do you feel about spooky cursed artifacts? The 1st one has JUST arrived at the House of Oddities. (You know, that weird shop located in the social district of town.)
Welcome to the start of an all new tradition. On all Friday the 13ths Spectacular Mendretti will send in a new cursed artifact (When he remembers to pay postage) to Mysterious Johnson’s House of Oddities. See the first one, a cursed globe full of evil Dreadites today!
Slash Catch’em
Slash Catch’em, legendary hero and Dreadite Slayer extraordinaire, has been working with Mysterious Johnson in his House of Oddities, facing hordes of Dreadites in the Odd Globe to prevent them from escaping to wreak havoc all over Lore! Talk to Slash Catch’em in Battleon to learn more about fighting the Dreadite demons and use your Dreadite parts to craft some slashy gear. Good, bad, he’s the guy with the Noisemaker!
“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! Help him out by slashing and/or catching a total of TWENTY ONE Dreadites of different kinds, and he might be nice enough to give you a brand new Slashy Coupon to use in his Pet Shop!
Meet the Boss: Kul’Zandar
Kul’Zandar is one big, bad, evil Dreadite, and is the driving force behind the potential Dreadite invasion! Hack and slash your way through the Cabin and spill enough Dreadite ooze to summon Kul’Zandar. Once he’s been summoned, you’ll face a giant Dreadite with a variety of Area of Effect attacks that deal BIG damage. Make sure you stock up on potions, and don’t forget to dodge. He also has a veeerrrrryyyyy small chance of dropping an extra special pet!
Joined an instance with just a few people? We’ve got some tips for How to Survive Kul’Zandar:
Suggested Party Composition: at least one of each class type - healing, ranged, tank
Dodge the AOEs
Bring some potions
Get real close to Kul’Zandar’s nasty face
Don’t forget your Noisemaker!
The Gnarled Dreadzard
Be cautious when exploring the world inside The Odd Globe, as you may run into the horrifying Gnarled Dreadzard! IF you manage to slay this gargantuan creature, you have a chance to obtain a haul of Dreadite Remains, some Zandarian Grimoire pages, or you may be so lucky to obtain one of three rare pets...
“Cabin in The Globe” Crafting
Well hello Mr Fancy-greaves! After you’ve put down the Dreadite menace, return to Mysterious Johnson’s Shop to turn in your quest and take your gooey Dreadite Parts to the Cabin the Globe crafting shop. You will be able to craft seven new weapons and a fresh set of Dreadite Slayer armor! Try to keep the ooze off of your new threads, yeah?

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.
Crafting Items
Telson Daggers (requires “Broken Telson” drop to begin crafting)
Sandsea Curved Knife
Sandsea Dual Bladed Scythe
Sandsea Polearm
Cochineal Oasis Armor
Cochineal Oasis Belt
See you on Smacking Day!

Battle on! Artix, Glisel, and the AdventureQuest 3D Team
At the end of Part 6, a Sharken-like creature caused a literal stir in the Valley when it reportedly ate the Phara-Keet Pyramid’s treasure room, absconding with the final lamp piece. So it’s time to wrestle up some bait, craft a bundle of poison-laced harpoons, and board Squint’s skiff for a special creature expedition to settle the score with this thieving monstrosity! After you’ve reported back to Sekt, head back to Battleon. Cysero’s Forge has new sets and items to craft, and the Chest Shop in your menu has 2 new sets including Dage’s Oni Syndicate set as well as lots of colorful Butterfly Wings.
Slay the Void-Sharken
Behold the beast brought forth by the Voidrakar -- the Void-Sharken! Azella has somehow hollowed a Sharken to do the Voidrakar’s bidding. Is there no limit to the Voidrakar’s power? No time to think about that while the last piece of the lamp lies in the belly of this monstrosity! Load up your harpoons and be aware of your surroundings. This beast is vicious!
Open the Chest Shop for a chance to start collecting Dage’s new Oni Syndicate set. Dress the part of one of Lore’s toughest crews and defend your turf against anyone who dares to defy the Oni Syndicate. Make your foes tremble at your appearance with one of four distinct Oni masks, one of which may look very familiar to longtime AE players. If you’re lucky, you might get the Legendary Oni Syndicate Armor or Katana, each flowing with Oni energy.
Get your head in the clouds (or in the mountains?) and prepare for a showdown with the armor sets of rival factions Red Cloud and Blue Brass sets from Cysero’s Adventure Crafting shop. And hold on to your Daily Boss Trophies so you can craft the new Arcane Jester set at Cysero’s Daily Boss Crafting shop!
Get your nets ready, ‘cause it’s time for Winnie’s Changeling Butterfly Wing crafting! Combine all eight butterfly wings to create a marvellous color-changing set of wings at her Tailor Shop in Battleon. Collect them all from the Chest Shop and Cysero’s Forge!

Sandsea Saga Part 6 and so many new AQ3D items!
The Sand Pyramid’s Treasure Room
Seek out the second piece of the magic lamp by journeying into the Sand Pyramid, the former home of Gar-Feld, Keeper of Sand. Prepare to think fast when you enter, as the creatures within will not be your most pressing concern. Do you have what it takes to find your way into Gar-Feld's treasure room? If so, you'll find more than just the lamp waiting for you.
And when you’re inside, you’ll realize quickly why Gar-Feld was called the Keeper of Sand. Be mindful of the dangerous quicksand and sand walls... unless you're well equipped.
Gar-Feld, Keeper of the Sand Pyramid
Trounce the threat in the treasure room to claim the Lamp! Inside the treasure room, you'll find that Gar-Feld has left a surprise or two (or three) waiting for anyone who dares to claim the lamp piece. Don't be fooled by the threat's statuesque appearance; it's more nimble than you think and eager to play a game of cat and mouse... Should you succeed, you'll have a chance to collect more than just the lamp: Two new pieces of the Sun Keeper set (belt and pauldrons) as well as a fancy new Stone Statue Sword and Stone Statue Dagger.
New Daily Quest!
Venture back into the pyramid to claim a special travel form! After you've completed the Sand Pyramid, be sure to talk to the guard outside the pyramid. He'll have a new daily quest for you: "Have Fragment - Will Travel". The guard will ask you to re-enter the pyramid and collect a fragment from the statuesque foe(s) inside the treasure room. What he'll do with the fragment isn't dentist-approved, but the end result will lead you on your very own Gar-Feld Statue travel form!

Coming Soon: Trouble on the (High) Sand Seas
Seek and destroy a new terror in the Sandseas! The Voidrakar’s attack on the ruins continues, but additional croc guards have yet to arrive! Every attempt by Lord Sekt (really Chombi, if we're being honest) to call in extra guards from across the Sandsea has failed… Why? Because a mysterious creature has attacked every skiff transporting the croc guards to the ruins… But now skiffs aren’t the only thing this creature has its sights on; it’s after the treasure in the Pyramid of Phara-Keet.
Battle on! Glisel, Artix and the AdventureQuest 3D Team
P.S. Hi there! I (Glisel) made the graphics this week :D Artix was in a day long meeting with Zhoom on the next features for the game and our other graphics designers were unavailable. That's also why this was late going up. I hope you like them!
