The Crystallis Faction

The Crystallis is an organization which governs the version of Akiba you'll visit this weekend. It is lead by the Archivist, who is responsible for maintaining order. The fact that you’re here though means that something’s off... but there's time enough to delve into THAT mystery in the future. For right now, just sit back and enjoy the atmosphere of the /onsen.

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
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:
