Player Housing Spotlight: Lucifer’s Pumpkin House

Welcome to the Pumpkin Patch Party Palace

Heya cutie pumpkins! Just because Mogloween is over doesn’t mean the spooky season has to stop! And guess what? The oh-so-talented Lucifer built the perfect Mogloween masterpiece that’s giving both spooky chills AND cozy vibes! 🍁 It’s an entire house bursting with pumpkins, plushies, pals, and personality!!

🗺️ /house Lucifer
📍 Artix server
🧱 Built 2024
💖 With decoration help (and chaos) from O_q and Ewa

Oh my gourd, Lucifer’s house is LOADED with pumpkins, folks. We’re talking pumpkins on the floor, pumpkins on the table, and pumpkins ~on top~ of pumpkins! And you know what? Even though Mogloween has slipped back into the shadows, I just gotta ask: when do we actually eat pumpkins in October? Like, never! But come Thanksgiving? OH BOY. We’ve got:

🍰 Pumpkin cheesecake
🍞 Pumpkin bread
🥣 Pumpkin soup
🧁 Pumpkin muffins
🥧 And yaaaaasssssss pumpkin pie

So while Lucifer’s house might look like Mogloween, I can’t help but hear

“Happy Harvest Day, baby!” 💛🧡❤️

Ok so enough emojis and chitchat; it’s time to take a tour of Lucifer’s Pumpkin House!

Room 1: Pumpkin Pod Central

A GIANT pumpkin sits as the centerpiece, part cozy cottage, part creepy cottagecore! There’s a table set for trick-or-treaters (or maybe a cursed Thanksgiving dinner??), and little glowing jack-o-lanterns lighting the way. Just don’t mind the “KEEP OUT” sign… it only applies to boring people 💅

Room 2: Monster Mash Meetup

Everyone’s dressed to slay, both in the fashion sense ~and~ the boss fight sense! It’s a guild hangout that looks like it waltzed straight out of a Mogloween music video, complete with flashy fits, spooky swords, and LOTS of energy. Just don’t stand too close to that one guy using chainsaws as glowsticks…

Room 3: Plushie Picnic (featuring Ewa’s Wishlist)

A warm little nook filled with pumpkins, plushies, puppers, pears, partridges, and a potion pot! Ewa’s plushie demand was clearly met, although more might be on the way considering that totally inconspicuous summoning circle. This room is SO cozy it could tuck you in for a nap and top you off with a totally adorbs winged witch hat!

Room 4: Trick-or-Beat Concert

It’s time to put the ‘rave’ in graveyard! This stage is serving up Mogloween beats meet Battleon Battle Concert, complete with cobwebs, balloons, and a live (possibly undead?) band! This underground club has it all:

🎃 Pumpkins
💀 Skeletons
🤩 Celebrities
😎 VIBES for daaayyysss

The Story Behind the Build

“Halloween is not really a thing in my place where I live,” house builder Lucifer shares on Discord, “so I never have tasted the real Halloween atmosphere where people decorate their house with some spooky furniture and accessories. Kids wearing costumes, and asking for trick or treating etc. I can only see it through tv shows/movies and games. That's why Mogloween in AQW is one of my favorite events because I can feel the spirit of Halloween there.”

Lucifer poured all that love into this build, and it shows in every little item placement. But of course we can’t forget their heroic helpers:

“My main reason I built this house is because I really want to try to fully decorate my rooms with Mogloween items, and I got asked by O_q and Ewa to do it for our guild hangout and screenie. I was like LET'S GOOOO one stone two birds xD” Lucifer beams, remembering all the fun. “They both really helped me even though mostly they were just messing around with me smh my head. O_q once said "We need more pumpkins so I can slap them" while Ewa said "One room must have plushies :<" since she loves plushies a lot.”

Ok so I totally get why one room NEEDED to have plushies… but why on Lore’s green earth does O_q feel the NEED to slap pumpkins?! 👀 Do I… do I even want to know??

Lucifer concludes story time by sharing some fun facts:

🧺 Did ya know some pumpkin items are stackable?
⏰ It took 3 hours to build, but pretty sure half that time was spent giggling in chat!
🤫 Whatever you do, do NOT go into the well. It’s not like there’s a secret room or anything…

Why AQWorlds is so special

Lucifer built their house in-game because they wanted to experience something they couldn’t IRL. And that’s exactly what makes AQW so magical:

1. Even if you don’t have certain holidays where you live
2. Even if Halloween is just something you see in movies
3. Even if you’re halfway across the globe
=
AQWorlds brings us ALL together!

We get to celebrate, create, and connect with heroes from every walk of life ~and~ every time zone! It’s amazing that from the second we log in, thousands of players are united as one, able to share holidays, experiences, stories, and common interests all in 1 place… including our weird little pumpkin obsessions 🤭

On behalf of the entire AQW team, we are sincerely blessed to be part of this amazing, global, and player-powered community! Together we’ve built an ever-expanding world where YOU matter just as much as our devs, because without you, AQW wouldn’t be the game we all know and love today. Thank YOU all for being the BEST part of AQWorlds!

So let’s hear it for Lucifer and every one of you who calls AQW home 👏 👏 👏

Battle on,
Beleen, Lucifer, O_q, Ewa, and the AQW pumpkin patch

2026 Calendar Class: Archivist of Time

Unlock the class when you get the 2026 Calendar or Chrono Bundle

Introducing the Archivist of Time class, the newest addition to AdventureQuest Worlds! Unlock the Class, armor set, and character page badge when you get the 2026 "Paradox of Lore" Poster calendar. Preorders will be available at www.HeroMart.com soon, but you can check out the skills break down RIGHT NOW!

How to unlock the class

This month: Pre-order the Calendar or Chrono Bundle. Redeem your code to unlock the in-game items.
Fall/Winter 2026: Class variant with unique art available for AdventureCoins or HeroPoints

Archivist of Time Details

Archivist of Time is an incredibly complex but rewarding combo mage class, casting from a huge library of spells based on the order you cast your abilities in. Combinations of your three indices result in spells that can either deal damage, buff your damage, or buff your survivability, leading to 9 possible combinations. You can even temporarily share your buffs with your teammates! Due to how complex this class can be, these design notes will be more informative than usual.

Description: The Archivist serves as the observer of the flow, holding the power to revise timelines as they deviate.
Stat Model: Offensive Caster
Mana Regen: Archivists fully restore their mana upon using the Lorebook of Beginnings.

Combat Skills

Lorebook of Beginnings
Rank needed: 1
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 66% Hybrid as Magical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: -100
Cooldown: 4.5 seconds

Inscribe Lore, beginning a spell. Rewrite your opponent's timeline, dealing more damage with each stack of Page Turned.

This is your starting ability for your combos. Begin with casting Lorebook of Beginnings, then cast two of your second, third, or fourth abilities in any order to create one of 9 combination spells.

Also, this class does not have an autoattack, instead simply having five skills.

The First Index
Rank needed: 1
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 50% Magical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 40
Cooldown: 1.5 seconds

Peer into the library of time, invoking The First Index if you've Inscribed Lore, which is used to apply damaging spells. Applies a different effect based on your currently active Index.

The First Index: This skill deals increased damage
The Second Index: Acutance - +50% Crit Chance for 12s
The Third Index: Fortification - +75% END & -25% mana costs for 12s

The Second Index
Rank needed: 2
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 50% Magical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 40
Cooldown: 1.5 seconds

Peer into the library of time, invoking The Second Index if you've Inscribed Lore, which is used to apply enchanting spells. Applies a different effect based on your currently active Index.

The First Index: Splotched - DoT based on your target's current HP percentage for 6s
The Second Index: Vehemency - +30% Physical & Magical Damage for 12s
The Third Index: Resiliency - +50% Damage Resistance for 12s

The Third Index
Rank needed: 3
Target: Enemy
Max Targets: 1
Type: 50% Magical
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 40
Cooldown: 1.5 seconds

Peer into the library of time, invoking the Third Index if you've Inscribed Lore, which is used to apply protection spells. Applies a different effect based on your currently active Index.

The First Index: Page Turned - Every successive Lorebook of Beginnings does more damage for 24s
The Second Index: Superpower - +30% INT/STR & 15% Luck for 12s
The Third Index: Rewind - HoT for 12s

These three skills are your indices, which are used to create your 9 spell combinations.

After using Lorebook of Beginnings, use one of these three skills to invoke an Index, determining what type of spell you're going to cast. The First Index is used to create damaging spells, The Second Index is used to create enchanting spells, and The Third Index is used to create defensive spells. Once you have an Index, the next of these three skills you use will apply a different thematic effect based on the Index you've just chosen. For example, invoking The First Index, then using The Second Index would apply a DoT to your opponent, but invoking The Second Index, then using The First Index would increase your Crit Chance.

For reference, here are all of the possible ways to create a spell combination, following the use of Lorebook of Beginnings:

(2 - 2) This skill deals increased damage
(2 - 3)Splotched - DoT based on your target's current HP percentage for 6s
(2 - 4) Page Turned - Every successive Lorebook of Beginnings does more damage for 24s
(3 - 2) Acutance - +50% Crit Chance for 12s
(3 - 3) Vehemency - +30% Physical & Magical Damage for 12s
(3 - 4) Superpower - +30% INT/STR & 15% Luck for 12s
(4 - 2) Fortification - +75% END & -25% mana costs for 12s
(4 - 3) Resiliency - +50% Damage Resistance for 12s
(4 - 4) Rewind - HoT for 12s

Rewrite Time
Rank needed: 5
Target: Friendly
Max Targets: 7
Range: Infinite
Mana Cost: 0
Cooldown: 60 seconds

Rewrite the fabric of time, recasting your previously used spells. Refreshes the duration of all active Index buffs on yourself while granting them to your allies for 12 seconds.

This is a very powerful spell that not only refreshes the duration of most of your active Index buffs, but also shares them with your allies*. This spell is not one that can be used often however, as it is on a long cooldown, so finding the right time to cast it is key.

*Certain damage based effects from The First Index are not refreshed or shared.

Passive Skills

Speed Reader
Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

Haste and Outgoing Damage increased by 30%.

Written In Ink
Rank needed: 4
Type: Passive

Starting at rank 1, your inscriptions bind to the pages, causing all skills to be guaranteed hits.

Epigraph
Rank needed: 10
Type: Passive

Crit Chance increased by 15%. The first time Lorebook of Beginnings is used in combat, it applies Epigraph, increasing your Damage Resistance by 50% for 8 seconds.

Conclusion

Archivist of Time is a blend of scaling damage with a side of support. It's a difficult to master class, requiring memorization in order to pull off different sequences of spells. Certain spells are quite important and should be active at all times, such as Page Turned.

The spellbooks and spell combinations are organized so that damaging spells start with one Index, damage buffs with another, and defensive buffs with the last. To use the class, you’ll be opening with Lorebook of Beginnings, then performing a combination of Indices which may change based on the situation you're in. With 9 different spell combinations comes quite a bit of versatility, but knowing what to use and when will be the key to success and mastering the class.

Double Guild Spotlights: Luminary & Revenance

Two Guilds, Two Legends, One Spotlight

No two guilds are alike, and that’s the beauty of AQWorlds. You can be anyone — or anything! — you want, and you can join a guild that aligns with your core beliefs… and impeccable taste in fashion ;) Some guilds shine through screenshots while others sparkle through stories. This week, we’re celebrating 2 incredible guilds who each embody different kinds of greatness: Luminary and Revenance!

🔥 Luminary brings the heat.
❤️ Revenance brings the heart.
🤝 And together they showcase what it means to be an AQW Guild!

Luminary: Legends in Light (and Screenshots)

Founded all the way back on September 18th, 2012, Luminary is led by the iconic Jase and supported by a powerhouse team of officers: Maby, Jsv, Kleio, Bearista, Ark Jhin, Brx, and S K E T C H, plus a few mysterious names that remain mysterious 👀

They’ve recruited more than 350 members, which means there’s probably a 9001% chance you’ve crossed paths with a Luminary legend along your adventures.

“In Luminary’s light, 300 strong they stand,
Brave heroes united, a mighty hand.
Through shadows they stride, with courage untold—
In the guild of the stars, their hearts gleam gold.”

With breathtaking screenshots, synchronized style, and a flair for the dramatic, Luminary proves that guild pride is felt ~and~ seen! And beyond the posing and perfection? There’s true camaraderie underneath it all.

“We’re like family, not just in AQW, but in other games and even real life too,” Discord scriber Klee shares as they conclude their guild’s entry.

Revenance: Where Loyalty Runs Deeper Than Blood

If Luminary is one of the oldest Guilds in the game, then Revenance is one of the newest! Founded on June 9th, 2025 by Junnix, Revenance may be small but they’ve got big heart and a story to share! With 55 active players on the Artix and Yorumi servers, Revenance is a tight-knit guild of high-level, battle-tested veterans who are writing their legend, one Ultra fight at a time.

“Revenance is a family forged in the fires of battle, bound by loyalty, and strengthened through every victory across Lore,” guildleader Junnix shares on Discord. “We face every challenge not just as guildmates, but as lifelong comrades—from slaying Chaos Lords to farming for that one rare drop at 1%.”

Yup, you read that right: this guild slays together, laughs together, and bleeds RNG together. From Legion quests to Nulgath contracts, Revenance doesn’t back down. But they also don’t forget the heart beneath the grind!

“Whether grinding through Dage’s legion quests or clearing Nulgath’s darkest contracts, we stand together—not just for loot, but for each other.”

Their guild’s story isn’t just about power… it’s about the people! “Welcome to Revenance—where loyalty runs deeper than blood, and every member is more than just a name on a list. We’re not just a guild—we’re a home.”

Requirements to join Revenance

📈 Level 60+
🏆 Must have at least one of: StoneCrusher (SC), ArchPaladin (AP), or Lord of Order (LoO)
🧘 And, most importantly: the right mindset!

“In our halls, laughter echoes louder than war cries. Even during the fiercest Ultra fights, there’s always room for a joke. We pick each other up when we fall—be it after a tough battle or a tough day. No egos, no drama—just real players with each other’s backs, in-game and beyond.”

That bond is what defines Revenance. Not their gear score. Not their ranking. But their willingness to lead with heart.

“We celebrate the wins, learn from the wipes, and always make time for fun—even when the RNG gods aren’t on our side.” (Oh boy, have I been there! *shudder* Phoenix Blade, 2009) “New players are welcomed like old friends. Veterans lead with heart, not just levels or gear. Here, you’re seen. You’re heard. You matter.”

Revenance concludes with a heartwarming statement that every hero, old and young, can relate to:

“We may come from different servers, time zones, or backgrounds—but in AQW and in Revenance, you’re home.”
