September Seasonal Shop
Available every year from September 1st - 30th
September is coming soon, and that means... pirates and parties! YARRRRRR! Every September, we celebrate Talk Like a Pirate Day and celestial AQW Artist Aranx's birthday. And this year, we're combining those two great themes to kick off a new monthly shop.
Each month, we'll feature a new set, available only during that month each year. There will be two different ways to get the gear from these sets:
1) Total package: Get the entire set and a character page badge for $9.99 USD
2) Individually: Buy each of the individual pieces from Garek the Traveling Gear Merchant in Battleon.
September Set: Celestial Naval Commander
Remember to keep your wings tightly furled when on deck to avoid getting tangled in the lines. But if the ship starts to sink, you'll be GLAD to have them as you fly to safety!
The set includes:
- Celestial Naval Commander armor
- 2 helms
- 2 capes: 1 set of wings, 1 parrot cape
- 5 cutlasses
- 1 Parrot Pet
The total cost to buy all of the gear individually is 4,000 ACs, so getting all the gear from the Celestial Naval Commander pack is a pretty sweet deal (you save 2,000 ACs).
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the same as the monthly upgrade bonus?
No, this is a different set. Just like the Flame Dragon Warrior, you can buy the entire set for one price on our site. You can ALSO buy the individual pieces in-game.
This set will return EVERY September, so if you can't get it now, you'll have another chance in 2019, or 2020, or 2021, etc.
Think of this like a carousel of gear. Every January, we'll have the January set. Every February, we'll feature the February set. The monthly upgrade bonuses will be separate and distinct bonuses.
If this isn't the monthly upgrade bonus, what IS the bonus in September?
The next upgrade bonus releases on September 7th, and is the Infernal Naval Commander. It will go rare at the end of the month.
What if I just want ONE of the items?
You're in luck! Talk to Garek in Battleon. He'll be selling the individual pieces of each month's sets.
Where do I get my gear if I buy the full set through the website?
You'll find it in your Book of Lore.
Is this the same as Tier 1 for the new upgrade package?
The seasonal sets are separate from the monthly upgrade bonuses, and won't impact the gear you get with them. The monthly upgrade packs will still have Tier 1 and Tier 2 options.
