New (random) design notes

Bupers Camel
I got an iPhone. I had to.
You know how hard it is to get reception in a lab that is miles beneath the earth's crust? Yet, somehow, Artix's iPhone always seems to get reception down here. It was a hard choice... I don't like paying for things... But it is one that I don't regret. I've been playing with my Lightsaber App so much that I've run the battery down twice.

I went to show Warlic my new toy and he immediately went for the Lightsaber.

He swung the phone once. *vhum*

Then again *vhum vhum*

Then...

*VhumVHUMvhum Vhum VhumVHUMVHUMVHUMVHUM Vhum vhumvhumVHUM*

You haven't lived until you've seen Warlic swing an iphone so much and so fast that ends up panting when he's done. I have now lived.

But here's the best part. I was showing him the Google voice recognition app. You just say what you want to search for and it googles it for you. I played with it quite a bit and it did really well but Warlic held the phone to his head and said "Dissertations on *Bruce Campbell" and what came back was "Dissertations Bupers Camel". I don't know what a Bupers Camel is but I think we're going to have to add it as a monster when we add The Sandsea to AQW.

This week the massive, stone doors to the city of Dawrfhold, located in the Dawrfhold Mountains will open to anyone who has helped Snowbeard get his gold back. I won't spoil too many surprises but, if everything goes according to plan (and it rarely does) you will be meeting Geopetal, going on a mining cart ride and getting your first glimpse at the dark elf who enslaved all of Dwarfhold, Chaos Dragonlord Vath himself.

We will be adding new items to Snowbeard's rep shop as well as adding in 2 new daily quests which will be worth a lot more rep than the others but you will have to be at LEAST Rank 4 with Dwarfhold to take these challenges on.

Pack some torches, some rock climbing gear and get ready to Enter Dwarfhold this Friday.

I'm going to go play with my Lightsaber some more.

*Bruce Campbell played, among other famous and infamous parts, Ash from the Evil Dead movies, including Artix's favorite, Army of Darkness. If you don't know who he is maybe you should google him. Just make sure to type it in instead of saying it.

This websites address has CHANGED!!!

If you havn't notice already, the address of this blog has changed. Previously it was called micycle1aqw.blogspot and now it is called aqworlded.blogspot!

Dwarfhold is released and quest guide written by me

Dwarfhold has just been released (few days ago.) Get here by clicking the button at Battleon or type /join tavern.The tavern currently has 4 rooms and 2 locked rooms. Anyway, when you get in the tavern click on snowbeard-the little dwarf with a white beard holding a mug- here you can accept 4 quests and a shop.

Snowbeards quests are written in cyan and Donna Charmers quests are in lime

Snowbeard First Quest Guide

For the first quest, all you have to do is go up to all the other NPCs and then click done. Out side the Inn Ternet (internet lol) there is a forest called pines, get here by exiting the Inn or by typing /join pines.

Snowbeard Second Quest Guide

For the second quest, battle the Pine Grizzly until you have 5 bear skins. Turning in this quest will give you 50 gold 25 exp and 100 Dwarfhold rep.

Snowbeard 3rd Quest Guide

For the 3rd quest go down once from the pine grizzly area , this should lead you to an area with the red shell turtle and a pine troll. To finish the 3rd quest battle the turtle until you have 5 red turtle shells and return to snowbeard. Turning in this quest gives you 60 gold 30 exp and 100 Dwarfhold rep.

Snowbeard 4th Quest Guide

To get the twistedtooth quest item you have to battle Twistedtooth. To get to this area to left from the red shell turtle and a pine troll area. Once you have got the quest item go back to snowbeard and turn in the quest, this will enable you to get Donna Charmers quests

After completing Snowbeards quests type /join llama ,talk to Donna Charmer and accept her first quest.

To get to some Leatherwings exit llama go right then right again-Now you should see Leatherwings.To complete this quest, battle Leatherwings until you have 8 Leatherwing feathers, then turn it in. This quest gives 90 gold, 55 exp and 100 Dwarfhold rep.

Donna Charmer 4th Quest Guide

After this go back to Snowbeard (/join tavern) accept his final quest and turn in Snowbeards 5th quest this gives 0 gold 60 exp and 100 dwarfhold rep and a note saying Next week! Dwarven Depths: Dwarfholds gates open. Also, you should have 800/900 rep to rank up to rank 2.

Now for the design notes:

Tonight’s “Little” Release
Meet Snowbeard, the Dwarf Fugitive!
Deep within the Pine Forest north of Swordhaven rests a quaint tavern known as The Inn Ternet! Inside you will find Otix, the Tavern Keeper, along with Snowbeard and his Seven Gems (our somewhat clever way of saying “Seven Girls”)! Snowbeard is the last free Dwarf in all of Lore and he has some special quests waiting for you! Whatever you do though, don’t belittle him!

A llama farm has also been spotted on the outskirts of Dwarfhold Mountains! Yes, you heard correctly—Llamas! Deep in the Pine Forest you will meet Donna Charmer and her farm of llamas! Unfortunately, these llamas have horrible barn-etiquette and are prone to an extremely nasty habit! May I recommend equipping a helm before venturing to the farm?

Everyone knows that the addition of new NPCs means new quests. But this time, we are doing something a little different… for the first time ever, we have incorporatedReputation* into quests! What does this mean, you ask? Each Dwarfhold Mountain quest is set to a specific Rep Rank, where you must meet the required Reputation in order to complete certain quests! Each time you complete a quest, your Reputation increases, allowing you to unlock more quests and enabling you to equip rare Dwarven Items!

Dwarven Items!
Speaking of Dwarven Items… Cysero has convinced Snowbeard to release some incredible weapons and gear this week! *cheer!* Snowbeard is offering SEVEN different items for you to purchase, all of which have been specially re-sized to fit Humans (the Dwarven Helms were cutting off circulation)! Dwarven Items this week include:

• Vanir Helm (with or without beard)
• Brynhildr Helm
• Dwarven Baselard
• Dwarven Throwing Axe
• Dwarven Battle Axe
• Dwarven PepperGun

New Monsters Afoot!
Pine Forests are scary enough with the constant fear of being attacked by unruly sap and vicious pinecones *shudder*. But now it’s even scarier: there are Pine Monsters everywhere! LeatherWings and Red Shelled Turtles patrol the forest path, keeping a safe distance from the beastly Pine Grizzlies and humungous Pine Trolls!

There is another “grizzly” monster deep in the Pine Forest. It’s big…. It’s bad… and it has REALLY sharp claws! The local villagers have dubbed this monstrosity “TwistedTooth,” and for good reason, too! Once a normal Pine Grizzly, TwistedTooth ventured to the Dwarfhold Mountain Summit and came back Chaorrupted. What happened to him up there? (Could it have been the work from the next Lord of Chaos?) Well, whatever the reason may be, he DOES drop some pretty sweet weapons—but don’t expect him to go down without a fight! You will need the help of your friends to take this Bad-Bear down!

*Ok, I'm going to explain Reputation to you guys. If you select your Portrait in the upper left hand corner of your screen you can see Reputation is now an option. This will tell you how much Rep you have earned with certain people. Dwarfhold is the first area with Rep and Rep based Rewards. When you look in Snowbeard's Shop you will see that all of his items require a certain Rank of Dwarfhold Reputation in order to use. If you don't have a high enough Dwarfhold Rep Rank then you can't get the item. How do you get Dwarfhold Reputation? The answer is Quests.

As you complete quests in an area your Reputation will spread, people learn to respect... or fear... you. Some of Snowbeard and Donna Charmer's quests will give you 100 points of rep and you can run these quests over and over and over. You can also do daily quests which give you a lot more Rep but you can only do those once per day. Donna has two daily quests worth 200 rep each, and if you're a member you can do the daily quest for Otix (The tavern Keeper) which is worth 500 rep! Once you have completed these quests, you won't be able to run them again until after 12:00 AM est, when our servers reset. As we go further and further into Dwarfhold you will find other daily quests worth more Rep that you unlock as you rank up, and you will also find that Snowbeard's shop will continue to grow with cool new higher-rank items as the area and the story of Vath, the Chaos Dragonlord progresses.

This is just the beginning of a whole new adventure, and if you thought that Escherion was bad, wait until you meet the Dark Elf who took over ancient Dwarfhold and enslaved all who lived there. What is he doing there? What task has Drakath sent him to accomplish? What sweet gear will you find on your way to face him down? Have fun exploring the Dwarfhold Mountains and have a good weekend! Or else.

If you have any questions about this new release post a comment on this post or E-mail me @

Out of this world!

40 Years ago today, Mission Commander Neil A. Armstrong and Lunar Module Pilot Edwin Eugene ‘Buzz’ Aldrin, Jr. stepped out of the Apollo 11 Lunar Lander and onto the freakin surface of our freakin moon while Command Module Pilot Michael Collins orbited above them. As Dan Rydell of Sportsnight put it..."There's really no end to what we can do. You know what the trick is? Get in the game."

To celebrate this amazing feat of human ingenuity (or amazing hoax, if you're one of THOSE people) We now have a shop button in BattleOn's main screen, where you can get Astronaut armor, helmet, and backpack, a moon helm or a Lunar Lander pet!

These are going to be VERY rare items, and the shop will vanish next Monday the 27th so grab the items while you can or else you'll miss out. We're not planning another manned trip to the moon until 2020!

COSTS:

• Moon Walker Armor-1500 acs!!!
• Moon Walker Helm-500 acs
• Moonhead-10000 gold
• Moon Walker Backpack-9000 gold
• Lunar Lander Pet-5000 gold, members only

REMEMBER, IF YOU WANT TO, GET THESE ITEMS OR THEY'LL NEVER BE AVAILABLE AGAIN!!!EVER

I have finally found the gell-oh-no room, all you need to do is type /join well

Tonight's Release
The Monsters of GreenGuard Forest
What do the Black Knight, the Green Dragon, the Basilisk, the Father of all Slimes, the WereBoar, and the multi-eyed DeathGazer have in common? They can now ALL be found in the forest surrounding the town of Battleon! Oh... do not bother opening your map. You are going to have to walk out of town to explore and find these monsters and their prizes on foot! Meanwhile, Quibble Coinbiter is back in town! Wait... we thought he only showed up before another Chaos Lord appears!?

The Green Dragon's Lair is in GreenGuard West

Be on the lookout for the Sword in the S... omething. Rumor has it the world's worst sword juggling bard is in the woods. Also you may see a beautiful Hunter, the ghost of the Black Knight, and three little wolves (with a big bad pig problem?) They may have tips on were all of the boss creatures can be found. The entrance to some of their lairs are well hidden and challenging to find!

Tons of new items can be found in the new quests around GreenGuard Forest!

Portal to The DeathGazer is hidden in the Forest

Quilbble Coinbiter Returns!
Also, Quibble Coinbiter is returning to town.... wait... WHAT!? Quibble only comes before a Chaos Lord appears, and we have not even defeated the current Chaos Lord(s) yet! ... well, we are battling the forces of Chaos, what did we expect? Perhaps we will learn some secrets about our newest foe! This week, Quibble has some brand-new slightly used “nightmarish” items from the future:

• Nightmare Plate
• Nightmare Helm
• Nightmare Blade
• Nightmare Mace

Note: Normally Quibbles items are never-before-seen. However, if you are a player of the original AdventureQuest, you will recognize this is a recreation of the 2nd uber set. The armor comes from the Land of Dreams... which is roughly a year away in the storyline.

Samurai Weapon and Armor in the Suggestion shop!
Miltonius has created a set of Samurai items as inspired by your fellow player, RedWolf EADS. Head over to Yular's inn and lcheck the suggestion shop.

• Samurai Armor
• Samurai Helm
• Katana

There is always room to battle the "Gell-Oh-No!"

Book of Lore: New Achievements!
New achievements have been added to the book of lore for character levels 5,10,15, 20, choosing good, evil , bank spaces and aquiring <shaves head, buys a cat and holds up pinky finger> one miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii-llon gold!

More New Stuff!
NEW TITLE SCREEN! Of course that is not all we changed. We updated the game engine with several improvements including bug fixes, new streamlined loader and new server selection screen (with room for the upcoming test server)

Save Chuckles Videos
See these new player made videos for the "Save Chuckles" movement.

Konichiwa?
Secret Order of Undead Slayers

New design notes-dragonlord rumor and game update

July 15th, 2009
The Monsters of Greenguard

Myth? Legend? ...oh let us hope so!
(Coming Friday) Many of the legends and stories you have heard have their TRUE* origins in the mystical forest of Greenguard. The seemingly innocent region is overflowing with danger... the Blackened Knight, the Father of all slimes, an enormous Eye-Fiend, the Basilisk, and finally... a friendly Green Dragon with a sizable treasure horde**. As the devestation from the meteor subsides, the forest creatures are returning... Zards, Sneevils, Spiders, Wolves and a several notable adventurers (including a Bard and a Hunter) who are more familiar with the surrounding lands. Oh, and I nearly forgot... have you ever heard the story of the Stone stuck in the Sword in the Stone? Join us on Friday!

* Oh boy... what did you guys do now?
** Treasure? HOW good of a Dragon did you say?

QUIBBLE!? .... huh?... wait... WHAT!?
It is a well known fact that Quibble Coinbiter only comes to town just before a new Lord of Chaos appears. So... why is he headed towards Battleon already? Well, this is Chaos we are upagainst. Does this have something to do with the DragonLord rumors coming out of the Dwarfhold Mountains?

Art Book Update
I would like to thank everyone who bought the MechQuest Art Book so far! 1,000 of them sold in the first 24 hours. The feedback has been amazing! We have even seen people in game with the armor already

------------Dragonlord rumors------------------------------------------I can make a guess that quibble is bringing the evolved dragonlord armour:

See what it looks like here

In other news:the game version now says 'Version 0.75: Legend of Battleon
