HeroMart / HeroPoints Update

Earlier this month, we announced details about the Nulgath Nation bundle rewards for HeroMart, including the ability to buy HeroPoints with AdventureCoins and to get digital HeroPoints Gift Certificates. 

After seeing more feedback from players, we decided the conversion was not ideal when we already have the ability to sell variants of HeroMart's digital rewards in-game for ACs. BUT so far we've only done that for Calendar Classes.

We will begin doing this with more rewards for select products and bundles... starting with the individual Nulgath Nation Bundle items that many of you have asked for. 

  • The color-customizable Nulgath's Fiend of Ozul set will be available exclusively with the Nulgath Nation bundle from HeroMart. 
  • A non-color customizable variant will be available in-game for AdventureCoins and HeroPoints in a few months.  

Stryche and crew are still working on the ability to buy digital HeroPoints Gift Certificates through www.HeroMart.com -- we'll have more news for you on the amounts and packs once those are available!

Want to Join the AQW Community Team?

Tester & Moderator Teams Looking For New Members

Artix Entertainment is looking for a few epic, experienced players of AdventureQuest Worlds to help our Tester and Moderator teams. If you like helping people, love AdventureQuest Worlds, and think you'd make a good tester or moderator, read on!

Our moderators, testers, and bug hunters put in their time and effort to help the community and games... but we always stress that real-life obligations have to come first. That means we occasionally lose some team members to outside responsibilities... but we ALSO get to bring on MORE new team members!

How to Apply

We love when players ascend, and join the ranks of our community team! We offer challenges, very bad jokes, and some pretty sweet perks. Read on if you think you’re ready to apply.

Application Process

Step 1: Apply via this form by Friday, March 7th, 2025 at 11:59 PM EST.
Step 2: Applications reviewed by AE team leads and administrators.
Step 3: Emails sent to selected applicants with in invitation to "AdventureGuide Academy."
Step 4: Applicants meet team leads, learn about roles and reporting issues, and demonstrate skills.
Step 5: Applicants receive an invitation to either the tester or moderator team.

Important Information
- We are only looking for new game testers and moderators at this time.
- Applicants must be at least 18 years old to apply and participate.
- Make sure the email address provided is valid and can be accessed.
- All applications will be read and considered. If you are selected for consideration, we will email you.

AQW Team Member Roles

All three groups work to improve the game and community, but there are a few key differences.

Game Testers
- Play through and report issues with new updates and features before they go live.
- Try out classes in development and give feedback on skills / balance.
- Help the Bugs Team confirm issues and fixes on live servers.

Game Moderators
- Review and take action on reports of rule-breaking submitted in-game.
- Escalate severe violations to Player Support administrators.
- Help keep the game, community, and developers safe for everyone.

Bug Hunters
- Read, review, and confirm bug reports sent to Artix.com/bugs.
- Confirm issues and fixes on live servers for the developers.

Reminders and FAQs

1) How will you contact me if my application is accepted? 
By email. Please make sure you can access the email attached to your AQW game account.

2) How many hours do I need to help each week?
We ask that team members stay active on a regular basis, but there are no minimum time requirements. Helping AE should be a fun extracurricular activity, not something that adds additional stress. Real life obligations like school or work should always come first.

3) What do I get for helping?
Participation in the community team is not a paid position. Team members receive membership, secondary currency, and other sweet loot and gifts from Artix Entertainment.

4) What if I got banned or muted in the past?
We know people make mistakes, and grow and change over time. Those are all looked at on a case-by-case basis, but a ban or mute won't automatically disqualify you.

Good Luck!

AQW Guild Spotlight: R3venant

Honoring the Dark Lord, One Battle at a Time

As Dage the Evil’s birthday approaches, what better way to celebrate than by shining a spotlight on R3venant? This guild was built in honor of Dage’s most elite Dark Caster devotees! Founded on March 19, 2019, this semi-hardcore guild has grown into a close-knit brotherhood of 231 members, led by the formidable Diablo and guided by officers Akiyoha, Cryptous, D u s t, Filoma, Leodred, Nanou, and Sin.

💀 So What Sets R3venant Apart?

R3venant is more than just a guild… they’re a Legion legacy!

R3venant’s warriors don’t just farm… they dominate! 

And R3venant doesn’t just follow the Dark Path… they pave it in skulls and style!


Whether it’s grinding for Legion Revenant, Void Highlord, Dragon of Time, or other top-tier Classes, this guild thrives on power, teamwork, and an undying love for Dage’s creations. But it’s not all about combat; R3venant takes fashion wars just as seriously as ultras—and I 1000% support that kind of warflair, lol!

In addition to being Dage devotees, R3venant members showcase sets from every artist, past and present. They’re constantly crafting jaw-dropping looks and capturing epic group screenshots to immortalize their diabolical (or adorable) drip!

☠️ Want to Join an Elite Legion Guild?

If you seek power and camaraderie, R3venant would love to welcome you. But! Only the worthy shall enter! To join, you must meet these requirements:
✅ Possess either LR, VHL, DoT, CAV, or VDK
✅ Have at least 20 badges
✅ Be active on Discord

Exceptions can be made, but you must prove your dedication first. Yes, this guild values stats, for sure, but R3venant also values loyalty, passion, and that unbreakable bond forged in battle.

Join the Ranks of the R3venant today!

Whether you’re farming, flexing, or fighting fierce foes, R3venant offers a home for true Legion warriors. Since the birthday of Dage the Evil draws near, this is your chance to stand amongst some of AQW’s finest—and most fashionable!—players to prove your devotion to the Dark Lord.

Long unlive the Undead Legion! 

Battle on,
Beleen, R3venant guildmates, and the AQW team

AQW Housing Spotlight: Total Transformation House by Sylveon

Meet our AQW x Akumi Architect, Sylveon

When it comes to player housing in AQWorlds, some heroes go above and beyond… and today’s spotlight is no exception! Meet Sylveon, fellow adventurer who has spent nearly 1.5 years and countless hours crafting one of the most meticulously designed homes we have seen! This isn’t some typical decorated map though; it’s a total transformation of the Akumi House, built with incredible attention to detail, layering, stacking, and creativity.

Here's the before:

“This house was created solo, starting with the ‘Underwater’ styled room after I saw the murals added in the Voice in the Depths saga of AQW,” says Sylveon. “When stacked on top of each other, they make for a nice, rocky cliff kind of design that completely changes the feel of the house.”

And that was only the beginning. Once Sylveon mastered this creative technique, she set out to redesign every room… each one with a completely different theme!

Starting with the Akumi Ship House, Sylveon painstakingly covered up nearly every part of the original house design 👀 An extremely difficult feat, to say the least!

“You either need very, very large items to do it or a bunch of small items that can cleanly mesh together to create a convincing background,” Sylveon explains. “The hardest room to do was definitely my Fantasy Forest room, because even today, we don’t have enough wall items in the style I want to completely cover up the top half of the screen.”

And yet… Sylveon found a way. Many ways, in fact! So let’s take a tour of the incredible rooms inside this one-of-a-kind home!

Room 1: The Underwater Room

Items Used: 174
Theme: An eerie, sunken ocean landscape
Inspiration: Voice in the Depths saga

This was the first scene built and set the foundation for the entire house. By layering the underwater murals just right, Sylveon created the illusion of a rocky ocean cliffside, making the house feel entirely different from its original form.

But the real flex? The tiny pile of bones beneath the leftmost blue mushroom.

“Each bone is a 1% drop, and there are 13 of them in that tiny pile,” Sylveon reveals. “That was probably the most time-consuming decoration to obtain.” 😱

Room 2: The Darkon Saga Room

Items Used: 30
Theme: A minimalist, haunting Darkon-inspired space
Inspiration: Darkon Saga

A stark contrast to the underwater room, this area embraces an ominous aesthetic, using just 30 well-placed items to maximize atmosphere (and, as we all know, atmosphere is ~very~ hard to come by in outer space, which is where the Akumi Ship House is stationed).

The Darkon room may feature fewer items, but sometimes less is more – and Sylveon totally nailed it! Every choice here was intentional, making this a perfectly balanced and eerie tribute to Darkon and his insane Saga.

Room 3: The Sea Lab Room

Items Used: 43 
Theme: A high-tech aquatic research station
Inspiration: Sci-fi deep-sea exploration

This futuristic lab has a secret detail you might not notice at first…

“The reason for my nameplate being visible in this room is because I wasn’t happy with any position of the leftmost hanging blue light,” Sylveon states.

“So to deal with it, I used my nameplate as the attachment point, and it looks more natural.”

Well this certainly shows a true designer's talent: using GUI in unexpected ways to enhance the overall ambience of the room!

Room 4: The Fantasy Forest Room

Items Used: 118
Theme: A whimsical, magical forest
Inspiration: Enchanted nature

Sylveon saved the best for last – and reveals it was the most difficult room to complete, too! This lush, vibrant space features layered clouds, glowing mushrooms, and dense greenery, but covering up the original house design was a major challenge.

“With the limited cloud quantity that exists at the moment, this was the densest cloud coverage I was able to do,” Sylveon shares. “I think it turned out pretty good for the limited resources I had.”

And tucked away in this enchanted forest is a hidden surprise:

the smallest house item in the ~entire~ game!

“If you look super closely under the chest, there’s a tiny bird—placing it was a nightmare because the editor buttons actually cover it up. So I had to blindly guess and check until it was in a position I was happy with.”

Talk about totally winging it! With patience, precision, and an eagle’s eye for detail, Sylveon managed to nest the tiniest item in AQW history – truly a tweet-worthy triumph! 🕊️

A Masterpiece in Home Makeovers

Sylveon’s house is an impressive home transformation that just goes to show how AMAZING ourcommunity is! With a mix of patience, creativity, and insane attention to detail, Sylveon turned a standard house into an immersive, multi-themed experience.

Which room is YOUR favorite? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure to stop by Sylveon’s home to see her Total Transformation House in person!

Battle on!
Beleen, Sylveon, and the AQ3D team

Hogs & Kisses & Sweet Treats

New Midweek Update is Now Available

All's fair in love, war, and... breakfast?! The pups in Chateau's Dog Park will be beggin' for the new NPC hammin' it up in this week's new midweek update. Talk to Big Daddy's Cupig in the /Chateau map now and complete his "Out of Love" quest to choose either a new 0 AC seasonal pet or house item! The quest and rewards leave March 7, 2025.

This deliciously-adorable little emissary from Big Daddy is a little friendly, a little goofy, and based off one of the most "heart-unhealthy" PORK-manteaus on the internet. 

And if you love consuming all of the "behind the scenes" details that go into these midweek updates, here's more trivia to chew on from the design team:

This new expansion quest is meant to be primarily on the silly side. With the way Cupig talks, he’s supposed to act a bit childlike, friendly, and goofy. So, he’s going to speak very differently compared to all of the other NPCs in this map.

I chose /Chateau for a few reasons. It feels pretty lively with NPCs. Also, because of the structuring of the quests. The quests require you to talk to a bunch of NPCs in the map (and this new quest will require the same mobs that 2 of the quests require). Thirdly, I chose this map because one of the rooms has a sign that says "Dog Park." So, I thought it would be funny to put a pig NPC in it.

The quest name is most of the title of a song, which is "All Out of Love" by Air Supply. I was originally going to call the quest "Cupig’s Crazy Catastrophe," but the name didn’t fit well with the quest description. I also make another reference to the song in the quest description. I was going to try to add more references to the song, but I don’t want to get too carried away with that since we’ve been having (REDACTED FOR SPOILERS - Alina)

AQW Guild Spotlight: Icy

Chill Vibes Only!

In the ever-expanding world of AdventureQuest Worlds, finding a guild that truly feels like home is no easy feat. But that’s where Icy comes in! Founded on April 17, 2024 by Kamrank, this guild isn’t just about levels and achievements… it’s about building a communitywhere kindness, camaraderie, and fun reign supreme. With a whopping 300+ members and an open-door policy that values positivity over strict requirements, Icy is a cool place where everyone belongs!

Journey from Lone Wanderer to Guild Leader

Kamrank’s journey in AQW began all the way back in October 2008 when the game first launched (wow, Kamrank's played longer than I've been working at Artix Entertainment!). Over the years, Kamrank searched tirelessly for a guild that truly resonated with them. After bouncing between different communities, the realization finally hit: 

if the perfect guild didn’t exist, why not create it?

And so, during a casual farming session in /deltavlab, a group of friends who had just completed their Slayer armor sets decided to forge something greater together. That moment marked the birth of Icy – a guild built not on strict rules and rigid structures, but on friendship, shared passion, and the simple joy of playing AQW together.

What Makes Icy So Special?

❄️ A Truly Global & Wholesome Community

Icy as a Guild is just the tip of the iceberg – it’s a family that spans across continents! Whether you're battling bosses in AQW or just hanging out in Discord, you’ll always find a friendly face ready to chat, help, or simply share some lol’s with. Fun fact: Icy has members in every continent… including Antarctica! Probably because penguins know where the real club is at ;)

🎁 Generous Giveaways & Rewards

Every month, Icy hosts an exciting $100 giveaway, ensuring that members always have something to look forward to. Non-members aren’t left out, either! The guild frequently surprises players with free memberships, Discord Nitro, and even commissioned art by some of AQW’s most talented artists. That’s way cool!

🛡️ 24/7 Support from Fellow Heroes

The guild thrives on helping each other succeed. Need backup against ultra bosses? Guidance on the latest quests? Just looking for someone to chat with? Icy’s got your back — day or night, hot or cold. No one fights alone!

📜 A Resourceful & Active Discord

Beyond the game, Icy’s Discord server is a treasure trove of information, strategies, and vibrant conversations. From in-depth ultra boss guides to detailed explanations on how to make the most of your AQW membership, there’s something for everyone. Plus, the lively community chat ensures that there’s never a dull moment.

I mean... just check out the chat dripping with ice lol!

❤️ Giving Back to the World

Gaming is fun, but Icy believes in making a real-world impact too. The guild regularly organizes charity events, using its strong community to support important causes and give back. It’s proof that kindness and generosity extend beyond the game <3


Join the Icy Family

If you’re looking for a guild where you can be yourself, make lifelong friends, and enjoy AQW without pressure, then Icy is the place for you. There are no strict requirements — just an open invitation to be part of something special.

So why not take a break from the heat of battle and join Icy? After all, some of the warmest friendships are found in the coolest places 😎

Battle on!
Beleen, Kamrank, the Icy guildmates, and the AQW team

AQW Housing Spotlight: Shadowfall Fortress by Garkoks Dran

A Home Fit for an Undead Overlord... with a Hoarding Problem

For 14 years, Garkoks Dran has been perfecting the ultimate lair – one that blends the eerie majesty of Shadowfall with the undeniable reality of a hero’s hoarding tendencies. This ever-evolving stronghold on the Artix Server has been built, rebuilt, and rebuilt again, proving that persistence… and maybe a touch of necromantic magic… truly pays off.

A Gift from Gravelyn… With Unexpected Consequences

The premise of Shadowfall Fortress is simple: after years of unwavering service to the forces of darkness, Gravelyn extended an invitation for Garkoks Dran to take up residence within Shadowfall. Oh wow, what an honor! However, no one—not even the Empress of the Shadowscythe herself—could have predicted just how much stuff one hero could amass.

Treasures? Check. Legendary artifacts? Check. Trophies from conquests across Lore? Check. An army of pets, ancient forbidden technologies, and enough furniture to clutter every possible space? Check, check, and check!

And yet, despite the fortress’s impressive gothic grandeur, there is one glaring oversight…

a single shower.

Just one shower?! For an entire undead stronghold!?! Oh the horrors – and the stench! 😱

The Trials of an Unyielding Architect

Building and maintaining a lair of this magnitude is no easy feat. Over the years, Garkoks Dran has painstakingly placed down hundreds of items, only to have to replace them again due to glitches, bugs, and the occasional unexpected house guest who just wouldn’t leave. Friends Only Plague, anyone?

Some of the rarest pieces have been collected using IODAs, with one elusive prize still missing: the Chairman Platinum statue. Even with a fortress this massive, house space is always an issue, as every new addition pushes the limits of what Shadowfall can hold.

And let’s not forget the mysterious floor-eating glitch in the Garden2 room, where items sometimes seem to vanish into the abyss. Here’s hoping that issue gets fixed before another precious relic disappears forever! 😳

Visit the Fortress… If You Dare

Garkoks Dran’s Shadowfall Fortress is a must-see for any player housing enthusiast or aspiring dark overlord. Whether you come for the eerie ambiance, the jaw-dropping decor, the floor-eating mysteries, the insane amount of gold,

or just to witness the sheer magnitude of loot-hoarding in action, this legendary lair is a testament to dedication, creativity, and an undying love for undead aesthetics.

So the next time you find yourself wandering the Artix Server, take a trip to Shadowfall Fortress… but be warned: there’s only one bathroom, and the line might be centuries long.*


Battle on!
Beleen, Garkoks Dran, and the AQW team

* Ladies! We certainly know all about those century-long lines waiting for the Women’s Restroom, don’t we 🤭

Halftime Show is ON!

Half-time is /Punt time: Chieftains vs Harpies!

Join us this Sunday at during the half-time show to /punt Twilly, battle the Undead Defender, get new gear, and /cheer for your favorite team as the Bloodtusk Chieftains face off against the Darkovian Harpies once more, revisiting their 2023 faceoff (it's like 2024 never happened)!

When the Bloodtusk Chieftains* face-off against the Darkovian Harpies, all of Lore goes CRAZY! So, football fans, kick your puntin' foot into high gear tonight, because the /punt map is NOW OPEN! 

When: During the LoreBowl half-time show 
Who: Chieftains, Harpies, the AQW Team & YOU!
Where: Right here... in-game!
What: /Cheer for your favorite team!

Score a field goal AND a rockin' character page badge by punting Twilly across the field and into the end zone!

LoreBowl LIX Gear

The half-time shop sports a stock full of returning fan favorites: Chieftains gear, Harpies gear, and faction outfits! So grab your pompoms and /cheer for your favorite team! Plus, battle the Undead Defender monster to collect all the Lorebowl House Pennants.

LoreBowl Shop Update

In the past, the different team armors for LoreBowl always returned when their respective teams played in the real-world event. But some teams haven't gotten a chance to play in over a decade... and that means the in-game homage items also haven't returned. That's why we decided to make all of the LoreBowl items available every year from the Shop in /punt. 

The items weren't ever intended to be rare; that's why they had the "Event Rare" tag: they were exclusive to the LoreBowl event, but weren't permanently rare. That can be a confusing distinction when some items haven't been available in 10+ years... or when some players redeemed an Item of Donated Awesomeness to get gear they assumed would never return.

To help prevent further confusion, here's what we're doing:

  • All items in the LoreBowl Shop now have the Seasonal rarity tag instead of the Event Rare tag.
  • If you redeemed an IoDA for one of the LoreBowl items, later today we'll be giving your IoDA back.

This way, everyone can grab their favorite team gear and /cheer for their favorite teams all year 'round... and no one feels like they've wasted an IoDA. Win-Win all the way around. /cheer

The map + gear shop will be available until Friday, February 28th.
