HeroPoints FAQ

HeroMart is back, and so are HeroPoints!

HeroMart is Artix Entertainment's one and only real-world loot store. Stryche and his army of shipping sneevils offer gear you can /equip offline: t-shirts, calendars, posters, and more.

Heromart is once again ramping up production, with many new posters, shirts, and other gear coming in the near future. That's why we've worked with the HeroMart crew to get the in-game map ready to re-open... and this weekend, you can /join Heromart to find all the returning rewards for HeroPoints... and a few shiny new options.

What are HeroPoint Rewards, and what are they for?

HeroPoints are a special currency you get as a bonus when you buy select merchandise (like T-shirts, prints, posters, etc) from our online store, HeroMart. 

 Spend them on digital reward items in AdventureQuest Worlds and several of our other online video games.

How do you earn HeroPoints?

The only way to earn HeroPoints is to buy select merchandise directly from HeroMart.  You will receive the HeroPoints redemption code on the packing slip when your package arrives at your door.

• 1 HeroPoint is roughly equal to $5 USD
• For every $5 dollars you spend on select merchandise, you'll get 1 HP (select items may have additional HP added on as a special bonus)

Check out what merchandise comes with HeroPoints rewards on this page.

What if I just want to buy the digital item rewards?

Good news! Starting this month, we will offer the ability to buy select digital item rewards directly in-game using AdventureCoins OR HeroPoints.

The AC price will be equal to the value of the item in HeroPoints. For example, if a sword costs 2 HeroPoints, it will cost around 2,000 AdventureCoins. (1 HP = about $5 USD =  around 1,000 ACs) This way, we keep the price fair for all players, no matter how they buy the item.

• This option will only be available for in-game items released starting this month.
• Items in the original HeroPoints Merge shop return this weekend but will not be available for AdventureCoins.
• Buying items for HeroPoints or AdventureCoins will not unlock the exclusive character page badge that comes with the physical merchandise
• These items are not available as selections in the Item of Donated Awesomeness pool

What if I want to give my friend HeroPoints?

We've gotten many requests over the years for a way to gift your friends HeroPoints. Now that we will be selling the digital in-game item rewards, you'll be able to give your friend an Artix Points gift certificate. They can redeem that for AdventureCoins to buy the item/s they'd like.

Will I be able to buy exclusive rewards with HeroPoints or ACs?

Some merchandise will come with exclusive in-game rewards that will not be available for HeroPoints or AdventureCoins. (For example -- a hypothetical future 2nd generation of moglin plushies)

The product details page on HeroMart.com will specify what rewards it comes with, and how it will be available, so you will know in advance.

Can I exchange ACs for HP, or vice versa?

Good question (and great way to think outside the box). No, you won't be able to exchange one currency for the other. 

Didn't HeroPoints go rare?

The HeroPoints map, quests, and merge shop were removed temporarily from the game a few years ago due to an exploit in the game. The HeroPoints reward items themselves were never intended to go rare, and now we’re excited to bring them back for you!
