AQWorlds Patch Notes
Check the list of bug fixes to see what the team has addressed
Reens, Cemaros and the AQW Bug Hunter team are busy squashing the bugs you submit each week to the Bug Tracker at www.Artix.com/bugs.
Please do not send non-release bugs on Twitter. They will get lost. Make sure you send bug report forms!
Check back weekly to see if the bug you reported has been addressed. Please remember that not all bugs are "easy fixes" so some reported and confirmed bugs from each week may not be on the fixed list as they will require more time or a different person to fix them.
If you would like to know how the reports go from you to fixed, check this page:
http://www.aq.com/lore/guides/BugReportFAQ
Bug Fixes:
- “Minotaur in the Mirror” quest now goes away once you complete it.
- Knave1 has been convinced to stop telling you he still has a rare shop. (button removed from apop)
- Hashi Hime’s “Return to Akiba” button now returns you to Akiba.
- Cutscene #3 “Teleporting Town” replay button now plays.
Art Fixes:
- Paladin’s Curse eye glow now glows the colour of the eyes.
- Ulric has been trained to heel.
- Ambassador Cape and Cape of Guiding no longer turn sideways when you move.
- Seraphic Commander has been Van Gogh’d. (ear on base model removed)
Not Fixed & Why:
Just A Reminder! When you send art reports, this is not a guarantee that things will change. Unless something is very obviously broken, it falls into the category of an opinion. When possible, the original artist is consulted and their opinion is the final opinion.

Moglin Kickstarter Ends Sunday
Help us make our dream of moglin plush a reality!
This is the FINAL WEEKEND for the AdventureQuest:Moglins Kickstarter! You've had moglins at your side in our video games. Now, help us bring Moglins to the real world! Check out our KickStarter to see what's coming, and discover the stretch goals the community has unlocked.
Once the KickStarter has officially ended, we will extend pledges via BackerKit, an affiliate of KickStarter. If you've been waiting to pay via PayPal, this is your chance! All pledges through BackerKit will count towards reaching the final stretch goals.
Moglins like Twilly, Zorbak, Twig, & Quibble are magical forest creatures born in our video game worlds. Back our Moglin Kickstarter to help them escape and join you in the real one.
Of course, each Moglin also comes with a code to unlock an in-game pet of itself in multiple Artix Entertainment video games.
Unlock the Master of Moglins CLASS in AQWorlds with the $120 Ultimate Moglin Collection. The Class art shown above is a KickStarter exclusive. (You will still be able to get the class by purchasing all 12 moglins from HeroMart after the KickStarter ends, but the art will be different.)
Oh! Our new Artix Games Launcher lets you play our games (with your moglins) without needing a browser or the Flash plugin.
Put a Moglin on your desk to cheer you on. They’ll keep you company while writing, drawing, coding, and gaming. Moglins love to watch your favorite shows with you...even when no one else will. You can keep the joy for yourself, or give a Moglin to someone you love.
Moglins are the ultimate sidekicks for real life adventurers like you. Help us bring them from the fantasy world into the real one!
Check out all of the Moglins on our Kickstarter Page...

Updates to LightCaster Class + LightMage Class
The Good news: the LightCaster Class is CRAZY strong and REALLY easy to get.
The Not-So-Good news: the LightCaster Class is CRAZY strong and REALLY easy to get.
If you do not have the LightCaster Class yet, starting this Friday, you'll need to obtain LightMage Class. LightMage is LightCaster’s younger sibling. It’s a less powerful but balanced version you'll unlock if you own the Evolved LightCaster or Enchanted LightCaster armors.
In the name of improving class diversity and healthier game balance moving forward, we're making some changes to the LightCaster Class requirements.
The Better news: If you already have the LightCaster Class, NOTHING changes for you. Nada. Zip. Zilch. Go on blasting bad guys like you always have.
The Best news: LightCaster Class is NOT CHANGING or being nerfed. (BUT Heroes who do not already have the class will need to hit level 80 before they can start to unlock it.)
If you don't have LightCaster Class yet, head to this Design Notes post to read more. You've unlocked a new quest!

Tonight: Live Moglin Puppet Show
Join us at 6 PM EST for the craziness!
Yup... this is actually happening! We will be streaming LIVE from the Artix Entertainment Secret Underground Lab tonight (Wednesday the 12th) at 6 PM EST, 3PM PST. You are invited to watch from your web browser or the new Artix Games Launcher. For the link to the livestream, simply check our Moglin Kickstarter page at Artix.com/Moglins on the day of the show for the link.
Hosted by the Moglins (voiced by Artix, Cysero, Vesper, Thyton & the AE Team) it will be about 30+ minutes of anything-goes Moglin mayhem and you'll want to watch LIVE because you can chat with us as the show goes on, and your choices will change how the puppet show plays out! It has a little something for everyone and, just between us, we went a little bit overboard on the props, scenes, and... well, you kinda need to come be a part of this. Also, we may never be stupid enough to do something like this again. *gulps*
P.S. When Kimberly from One-Eyed Doll heard we were doing the show she wrote, sang, and produced an original song for it! It will be premiered at the show.
P.P.S. There will be a live stream tab to our new Artix Games Launcher! So you can watch from there and also play all of our games without needing that soon-to-be-obsolete Flash plugin!
