Taken By the Tide

Yarrr! Talk Like a Pirate Day, Part 1 is Live

Avast! Reports have been flooding in: fishermen, sailors, pirates, and even Water Elves have gone missing. Some disappearances are expected; Lolosians know the seas can be deadly. But when your friends vanish into the depths, it's an "all hands on deck" emergency. You've got to find them, and fast. The good news is, you know a guy with a boat! 

This weekend, sink into the depths as you search for your lost friends and uncover a world under yours that seems... fishy. /join DeadlySeas now to begin your adventure!

Friday Update Details

Read on for news about this weekend's new updates.

And don't miss the rest of this month's update. See the full release lineup here: AdventureQuest Worlds calendar.

Booty Fer Buccaneers

The sea never gives up her dead... and what waits below is very, very fishy. Battle the creatures lurking in the /deadlyseas to claim a boatload of new booty. Fight to earn Isthmian Seashell merge resources, then craft all-new pirate sea-riously killer loot: Mermaid Hunter and Isthmian Guard sets!

The sea’s most bloodthirsty buccaneers don’t give up without a fight… but victory is sweeter when it comes with treasure! Battle the Captains and crews in /PirateHunt to claim their loot. Fight to earn merge resources, then craft awe-some pirate armor sets.

Hunt for the Queen's Bounty

/join PirateHunt now and board Captain Rhubarb's ship, the Red Betty! Work with him and Lore's best bounty hunter, J6, to seek out the pirates on Queen Victoria's list. Click the globe in Captain Rhubarb's quarters to call up the map that'll lead you to your targets.

She's after some of the most vile, greedy, and just plain annoying pirate captains and crews... and if you catch'em YOU get the reward! 

ShadowScythe vs SpacePirates!

Did you see that streak of red in the stars? That was left behind by the Hydra's Hark after its crew and Commander, Gallaeon, plundered one of Empress Gravelyn's fortresses, attacking from the sky. She sent one of her DoomKnights to bring Gallaeon to heel, and if you help him battle the crew + captain, he's got orders to let you pillage 'til your pack can't hold anymore rewards. 

• /join doompirate
• Talk to Dusk to begin your quest to help subdue the crew
• Defeat Commander Gallaeon
• Victory unlocks a bonus quest + challenge fight against the Captain and crew

Commander Gallaeon & Crew Challenge

After you defeat Gallaeon in /doompirate, take him and his entire crew on at once. This nine mob challenge might be difficult to overcome, but if you are victorious enough times, you can earn Dusk's DoomTech DoomKnight armor, a house guard, and the Shadowscythe Pirate Warship house for yourself!

If you have the ShadowScythe Pirate Commander Upgrade Bonus pack, you've automatically unlocked a version of the house with a color-customization room!)
