Tomorrow: StarCaptain Class Updates

Verification Class Updates

Our verification classes -- Guardian, DragonLord, Star Captain, and Defender -- are unlocked by AQWorlds heroes who have also upgraded in one of our 2D, single-player games. They've been asking for years for their exclusive classes to get updates... and now the time has come!

Guardian Class: available to verified AdventureQuest Guardians
DragonLord Class: available to verified DragonFable DragonLords
Star Captain Class: available to verified MechQuest Star Captains
Defender Class: available to all of the above

Each week in November, we'll release another verification class update. Earlier this month, we updated the AdventureQuest Guardian and DragonFable DragonLord Classes! Get all the details on those class updates here and here. THIS week, we've got... the Star Captain Class update! Read on for update details: what is changing, how to get your own, and the new balance details.

Star Captain Class Overview

Welcome to the Starlord rework! Renamed to Star Captain, the class now aims to honor the tradition of choosing a GEARS University House while excelling at what Mecha Pilots are best at, one on one combat. The first three skills behave similarly, but change the focus of the class depending on which you used first, and the final skill is an all out attack that can only be activated once you’ve used the first three skills enough times.

Before there was AQWorlds, there was... MechQuest

GEARS University, the most acclaimed Mecha Pilot institution in the Solaris System. Here you will learn a wide variety of skills required to become a fully licensed Mecha Pilot, including but not limited to, Energy Blade Training, Mecha Combat, Home Economics, and Insect Extermination. And let’s not forget about our annual GEARS Games, where you face off against other Pilots to earn points for a House of your choosing. We welcome all aspiring Mecha Pilots to GEARS University and we look forward to seeing you soon, but only if you survive the entrance exam that is, enroll at mechquest.com!

Harvest of Nightmares, Part 2

Our 3 Part Event Continues with Memet's Birthday Screams

Last week... you, Aurelio Voltaire, and Memet were trapped inside Aurelio Voltaire's nightmare in the first part of our three-week Harvest of Nightmares holiday event. This week, log in and battle Memet's creepy dreams as you fight to escape and return home in time for the Harvest Fest. But beware, hero! Friday the 13th may be over, but the Nightmare Realm is a dark and twisted land. You never know WHAT you'll meet... or what might decide to follow you home.

This weekend, /join memetsnightmare to begin your adventure:

Talk to Aurelio Voltaire to begin your quest to escape Memet's nightmare
Battle Eye Worms, Burning Embers, and Cyclones
Collect Nightmare Kibble and slay... CANNIBAL MERMAIDS?!
Battle your way home to return in time for the Harvest Feast, releasing next Wednesday

Who is Memet?

Memet the Nightmare Moglin is the staff persona for Memet, AQWorlds' lead writer. She is the one who writes and designs the weekly releases you battle through. She is a huge fan of dark, offbeat, Lovecraftian/Geiger style art and fantasy... which is why her in-game NPC is a baku/nightmare creature. She’s crafted this nightmarish new event for you to battle through while she concentrates on celebrating leveling up during 2020. Wish her luck or happy birthday on Twitter!

New Featured Gear: Ghostly Wedding Set

They say love is eternal... and with our ghostly wedding gear, it CAN be! Find this hauntingly beautiful armor set in your Featured Gear Shop until November 30th. Then they'll leave be gone... FORVER!

Harvest of Nightmares: Friday the 13th

Join us for the final Friday the 13th event of 2020!

Join Aurelio Voltaire and Memet the Nightmare Moglin for first week of our three-part Harvest of Nightmares holiday event as we celebrate Friday the 13th and Harvest Fest! After a year of battling natural disasters and unnatural horrors, Aurelio Voltaire and Oishii the Troll Chef have planned a double holiday extravangaza to help raise everyone's morale.

But when our favorite gothic pirate party planner slips into a nightmare he can't escape from, he and Memet will need your help to break free. This weekend, log in and battle terrifying creatures and ferocious food as you race to escape the Nightmare Realm and return in time for the Harvest Feast.

Join /gothicdream to begin your adventure:

Fight through Aurelio Voltaire's nightmarish house
Battle delicious-but-deadly food
Assemble a hero's most intimidating combat gear: Gothic Teddy Pajamas
Battle a boss who wants to put you to sleep... FOREVER

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

Aurelio Voltaire Returns for Friday the 13th!

Friday the 13th and Aurelio Voltaire go together like Evil Armies of Undead and Horror Movies. So of course, this Friday our always-positive, family-friendly game team and community want to welcome him back for another musical event! This weekend, slay your enemies to the sound of music from his album "Raised by Bats". Once you've finished the event, make sure you check out his Youtube series, "Gothic Homemaking with Aurelio Voltaire," and stay up to date with all his dark adventures on Instagram!

Aurelio Voltaire is the maker of music, films, books, comics, toys and... mayhem. He has appeared in almost ALL of the AQWorlds Friday the 13th events... and has become a fan-favorite for our players (not to mention beloved by goths, trekkies, and music-lovers in general).

On behalf of the entire AdventureQuest Worlds team, we want to thank Aurelio Voltaire for being a part of this special event!

Your luck is in... Gothic Rewards!

Friday the 13th may be all about bad luck, but not this weekend! We've got two all-new armor sets available in the Gothic Dream merge shop:

the Teen Slasher, a dark and destructive seasonal set available that will make you Scream
the Unlucky Hoodie, deceptively cute and definitely deadly

Plus a plethora of gothic house items that drop from the monsters and boss in this weekend's event.

DragonLord Class Overview

Lost to time and found again, the DragonLord class has evolved! Inspired by DragonFable, this new version of the class offers many powerful new tools to battle multiple monsters at once by imbuing yourself with the powers of ancient dragons.

The new AdventureQuest Worlds version of DragonLord draws heavily from DF’s DragonLord, and also DragonWarrior, DragonRogue, DragonMage, and the titan DragonRider. Take on one or more elemental aspects, and then tap into their full power with your Primalization ability! This class is designed to fight multiple monsters at once, while harnessing the full potential of the elements provides you the power to take on much more powerful creatures.

How to Unlock the Class

If you are a DragonLord in DragonFable:

Log into the Account Manager site at account.dragonfable.com
Access the 'Unlock Verify Shops' menu in the Account Manager
Verify your DragonFable account
Log back into AQWorlds and /join tower
All verified DragonLords can purchase the original DragonLord Class. If you are level 40, you can purchase the updated class from Tomix for 0 ACs.

If you are NOT a DragonLord in DragonFable:

Create an account at www.DragonFable.com (if you don't have one yet)
Upgrade it to become an DragonFable DragonLord on this page
Follow steps 1-4 above

Verification Class Updates

Guardian Class: available to verified AdventureQuest Guardians

StarCaptain Class: available to verified MechQuest StarCaptains
Defender Class: available to all of the above

Each week in November, we'll release another verification class update. And first up... the AdventureQuest Guardian Class update is here!

Guardian Class Overview

The Guardian class in AdventureQuest Worlds takes inspiration from the gameplay of AdventureQuest. Heroes who are familiar with the world of Lore in that game may feel right at home when using Guardian in this game.

In AQWorlds, Guardian plays as a very powerful glass cannon, dealing incredible amounts of damage, but being unable to take very much itself. Having many skills with their own costs of use, and not a high amount of healing means that Guardian won’t be able to properly play to its full potential by itself. However, if you find a few companions and guests to help buff and heal you, you’ll be able to really unlock your full power.

How to Unlock the Class

If you are a Guardian in AdventureQuest:

Log into the Account Manager site at account.aq.com
Access the 'Unlock Verify Shops' menu in the Account Manager
Verify your AdventureQuest account
Log back into AQWorlds and /join tower
All verified Guardians can purchase the original Guardian Class. If you are level 40, you can purchase the updated class from Wyrm for 0 ACs.

If you are NOT a Guardian in AdventureQuest:

Create an account at www.Battleon.com (if you don't have one yet)
Upgrade it to become an AdventureQuest Guardian on this page
Follow steps 1-4 above

This is harvest time in the Northern Hemisphere, and Thanksgiving in the United States, Canada, China, Germany, Grenada, Japan, and Norfolk Island. To help ALL our heroes celebrate, this month's seasonal set features the Harvest Hunters - the HeroHunter and Lycan Stalker armors.
