The Battle Coliseum Expands
Bloodsport, Beast Battles, and Bountiful Rewards
Some monsters hide in dungeons. Others stalk the shadows. But the ones you'll face this weekend? They're front and center in the Battleon Coliseum, roaring for attention. Arena Master Keelia is unleashing three new beasts every month, and each is ready to test your strength, strategy, and showmanship. Are you ready to step into the ring and reap the rewards of victory?
Introducing... Arena Master Keelia!* Once exiled from Aeris after a "minor" tournament incident (don’t ask), Keelia’s building something bigger and better in Battleon. But before we launch the next era of Arena Champions, she’s got beasts to break in… and challengers to toughen up. That means you. Show up, suit up, and step into the Coliseum!

Unlock 45 unique event-rare items and an exclusive character page badge when you get this month's collection chest from Quibble TentacleBiter for 5,000 ACs. (That nets you a haul worth over 11,000 ACs worth of gear O_O). Or buy individual items from his shop in Battleon.

But keep a sharp eye out for his next shipment! In July, he's scheduled to get an all-new lot of Summer rares: the Molten Mayhem Collection! It will also feature several sets focused around a single theme**, unlock an exclusive character page badge, and have a similar AC cost.
Like with our Evil Artist birthday collection sets earlier in 2022***, if you get both the DeepSea Collection Companion and Molten Mayhem collection chests, you'll unlock a third, unique character page badge!
* Or should I say... submersive? O_O
** Dragon's breath... Flaming phoenix feathers... Heroes on break baking in the summer sun's scorching heat... HOT!

The Shadow Fiend Calls to You
On June 27th, our newest Ultra Boss, Gramiel the Graceful arrives. Defeat him (or complete an alternative farming quest) to be one step closer to obtaining the Hollowborn Vindicator Class!
How to Unlock the Hollowborn Vindicator Class
If you are at least level 80, Hollowborn Vindicator can be unlocked by obtaining four Condensed Grace. Condensed Grace can be only acquired from two weekly quests:
- Turn in 5 Gramiel Insignias, some Hollow Soul, Vindicator Badge, Grace Orb, Vindicator Crest, and Gramiel's Emblem (and more) for 1 Condensed Grace.

However, you can only do ONE of these quests per week, so it's up to you to decide which one to do. This means the class will take at least 4 weeks to obtain.

New Tuesday Update is Live
Yulgar's Adventurer's Board Update + Chaos Drop
Yulgar has been watching you all struggle with getting daily quests. He saw how dusty his quest board was getting, so he put a fresh coat of paint on it and added some daily quests to it from all throughout Lore. Most quests that require farming for resources were added to this. It’s located in the second room to the right in /Yulgar!
What’s the Daily Quest Board?
This is a location in /Yulgar that had a bunch of daily quests from the Chaos Saga on it... until today, when we added even more from around Lore. The quests that were added are ones that players in the community asked for in a recent feedback poll. Adding them decreases the time it takes for players to collect all of the quests, and makes sure new players know they exist.
Why update the Daily Quest Board?
Today's midweek designer has been watching a lot of AQW YouTubers and saw this one video from a content creator named Wahzzers which really hit home -- they had to go to tons of different maps to get all the daily quests they wanted. It was pretty eye opening, the amount of time and effort it took. When he did a runthrough and looked at how long it took to go to each map, it took several minutes JUST to type out all of the map names and go to all of the maps. That has a big impact on how much you and other players enjoy the game. Adding all of the quests all in one spot should help mitigate this issue.
What's next?
The current plan is to have at least one more update in the "not too distant" future. After today's update, we'll get more feedback from the community, then we can add more quests, house items or pets that players might want that have the daily quest board attached, etc
Bonus: New Chaos Weapon Drop
For those that don’t want to deal with the typical crowds in Yulgar’s Inn, then we have a daily drop in a library! Head over to the /BackRoom of the Chaos Librarium to obtain the easily-concealable Chaos Shankers from the Chaos Sp-eyes and Chaos Rats. Travel-sized for the hero who quest is to cause more chaos wherever they go.
