Level Cap Increases to 90 + IceStorm Arena

SLAY Bells are ringing this weekend!

Our Frostval celebration continues this Friday at www.AQ.com with a bounty of new gear, an all-new battle arena, and a level-cap increase to 90! Heroes of all levels and class type are invited to fight through the ranks of the IceStorm Raiders for honor, glory, and prizes. Take on this weekend’s level 100 boss -- Warlord Icewing -- with a group of friends, or try to fight him solo if you're a high-enough level!

This weekend:

• Level cap increases to 90
• Higher-level enhancements (including Awe Enhancements) added*  
• IceStorm Arena (with monsters level 5-100)
• Double XP boost **
• Quibble’s Frostval Rares + Frostval 2018 Collection Chest

The Level Cap Increases to 90!

For all you heroes asking us when the level cap will increase... today is the day! It's only been about 1.5 years since the last multi-level cap raise, so it we're adding 5 more levels, taking the cap from level 85 to 90! (Current plans for a level cap increase schedule: 95 in 2019 and 100 in 2020.)

To celebrate, we've added a DOUBLE XP server boost. Next week, we'll add Double Gold, Rep, and Class points as we releaes the Frostval Barbarian Class. 

• Level 85 - 90 Enhancements: level 50+ enhancement shops in your game menu
• Awe Enhancements: in the Awe Enhancements shops in /museum

Also, this week: we've added in functionality from the PTR servers so that as long as you fight monsters that have more than 1 HP, you'll always get at least the minimum level of class points, no matter what level the monster is. (Before, if you fought monsters that were too low a level, you would not get any CP.)

Enter the IceStorm Arena

Warriors, Rogues, and Wizards of all levels and ranks are invited to fight through the ranks of the IceStorm Raiders for honor, glory, and new gear! Battle icy opponents from level 5 to 100 as you earn EXP and gold. High-level heroes can blast their way to the end of the arena to take on the level 100 Warlord IceWing boss.

Icy Barbarian Gear

The dev team's goal is to have the IceStorm arena serve as the best level farming area in-game - with the smoothest, most balanced progression, and high-level monsters for our more experienced heroes.

Merge Shop Rewards include:

• Icy Barbarian armor + accessories
• Icy Infernal armor + accessories

Plus, take on Warlord IceWing for a chance to get the Boreal Bardiche and Cavalier Claymore! 

Icy Infernal Gear

Who are the IceStorm Raiders?

After Tyndarius’ mortifying defeat in the Etherstorm Isles, and his rejection by the Queen of Monsters, the islands were abandoned… until King Rimescar and his army moved in to annex the lands. Ice and snow now blanket an area once known for its volcanic activity. To honor the winter holidays, he’s thrown open the arena to Lore’s most well-known and skilled hero… YOU!

Farming and Rebalancing

In the interest of updating some unbalanced areas and quests in the game, we've adjusted some monster levels and quest rewards.

Changes include:

• Darkness monster level in the Bloodmoon Arena lowered to 25*
• Alchemy quests XP lowered from 100 to 0
• Dys-Geni-c Chaorruption? quest now rewards 5,000 gold and XP

And quest reward increases:

• Willpower Extraction quest now rewards 10,000 XP
• Demanding Items of Nulgath quest now rewards 10,000 XP
• The Poisonous / Refreshing Deal quests now reward 10,000 gold and XP
• GRUMBLE, GRUMBLE... quest now rewards 5,000 XP
• Crag's Thirst quest now rewards 5,000 gold and XP
• Retrieve Void Auras quest now rewards 10,000 gold and XP
• Unstable Essences quest now rewards 10,000 gold and XP

* The Nothing monsters in the member-only /nightmare remain level 99.

Level Cap Increases to 90 + IceStorm Arena

SLAY Bells are ringing this weekend!

Our Frostval celebration continues this Friday at www.AQ.com with a bounty of new gear, an all-new battle arena, and a level-cap increase to 90! Heroes of all levels and class type are invited to fight through the ranks of the IceStorm Raiders for honor, glory, and prizes.

This weekend:

• Level cap increases to 90

• Higher-level enhancements (including Awe Enhancements) added*  

• IceStorm Arena (with monsters level 5-100)

(Before, if you fought monsters that were too low a level, you would not get any CP.)

WHY NO PICTURES?

I know.. the Design Notes look so EMPTY! I have been sick since Monday night, and am just now getting back onto a computer. In place of the normal pics, I've crafted a clean, simple image as a placeholder. 

We'll have many impressive, epic images in tomorrow's Design Notes, along with full details of Quibble's Shop, the Frostval 2018 collection chest, what goes rare, what won't, why the IceStorm Raiders have opened this new arena... and more (like what to expect from next week's Limited Quantity sets).

* Like the Spitfire Enhancements, the Darkness Enhancements have a limited level range, and will not receive updates this weekend.

** A double XP boost starts this weekend. Next weekend, in honor of Frostval, we'll have a Double XP, Gold, Rep and Class Points boost!

The Queen of Monsters is...

Missing? Living Among Us? DEAD?!

The Queen of Monsters has long been rumored to reside in an unapproachable Tower near the islands of Drakonus.

Though her monsters still attack the land, the assaults come less frequently now. Ruomrs are beginning to spread. They ask -- where is the Queen?

The answers are troubling. Some say she walks among us as a shapeshifter.* Some say she resides with Drakath, continuing to use him as a puppet. Some say she is dead. Others say that - like the spiders she loves - she is lying in wait. Silent. Preparing.

The question on everyone's mind is... what will the Queen do next? And the one person who MIGHT be able to tell us -- Drakath -- refuses to say. The LoreMasters and Chronomancers will meet soon to discuss this troubling situation.

Coming in 2019... the finale of the Queen of Monsters Saga!

* Robina = Queen of Monsters!

Get your Free Spins

Everyone loves to get prizes... and that's why this month, we brought back back free spins for the Wheel of Doom!

• Members get one free spin a day while their upgrade is active
• All players get one free spin a week. 

See the Free Spins Design Notes for more details.

Platinum Item of Donated Awesomeness

We've gotten a lot of really positive feedback after introducing the free spins... but also a lot of you who wanted 1) a way to make sure you got an Item of Donated Awesomeness and 2) kept spinning in a quest to get the Epic Item of Donated Awesomeness to drop from the Wheel... and then not didn't get it.

That's why, earlier this month, we introduced the Platinum Item of Donated Awesomeness. This item is available from the Doom Merge Shop, so even if you don't receive the EIoDA as a bonus prize, you can save up your Treasure Potions and get the PIoDA.

Important Points

• The PIoDA will be a Wheel of Doom merge shop exclusive. 
• Cost: 1,000 Treasure Potions. 
• You can get both the EIoDA (from the Wheel) and the PIoDA (from the merge shop)
• The PIoDA currently stacks up to x5.

At a cost of 1,000 Treasure Potions, that means a member who ONLY uses their one free spin per day/week will need to log in every day for about 2.5 years to get it... but they WILL get it eventually. 

* Exceptions include staff personal items, custom weapon contest prizes, HeroMart items, etc

November 30, 2018

Get your Free Wheel of Doom Spin

Free Spins are BACK for all players!

Everyone loves to get prizes... and that's why webrought back free spins for the Wheel of Doom!

The next upgrade bonus will be available from November 2nd - 30th, and are the Apocalyptic DragonLord armors. 

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 the set through November 30th.

Where do I get my gear if I buy the full set through the website?

You'll find it in your Book of Lore.

Treasure Potion Glitch Fix 

The "missing treasure potions" banking bug has been fixed! We replaced missing potions earlier today. Treasure Potions can no longer be banked, to prevent this issue from re-occurring.
