Candy Shop

Trick or Treat, Hero!




Mogloween is back in town--along with your favorite pumpkin-squashing-candy-hording holiday characters! The Queen of Vampires, Safiria, is in the middle of Mystcroft, supplying you with all your Mogloween tricks and treats. The Cauldron Sisters are just waiting to get their hands on some delicious candy. But these haunting ladies are in need of your help on some very important quests. New shops, new monsters, and new items are just waiting to be discovered!

THE CANDY SHOPPE


Overrun with mutant, overgrown Moglinsters, the Cauldron Sisters’ Candy Shoppe is in need of your monster-slaying services. Not only are the Sisters unable to get into their own candy store, but their beloved cauldron, Myx, is being held captive inside! Help the Sisters clear a way through monstrous moglin madness so they can make their delicious Mogloween candy once more! A special Mogloween costume shop will open, too! Dress up as:



•Ebil Dread Paladin

•Dream Slayer

•Dark Zenobyte



MYX’ING NEW ITEMS

Stashing your valuables in a giant talking cauldron is perhaps the best hiding-place ever—and the Cauldron Sisters have done just that! If you are able to save Myx from the clutches of the Boss Moglinster, I am sure the sisters wouldn’t mind giving you a discount on their most valuable seasonal treasure! Here is a sneak-peak at some of the surprises hidden inside:



•Fiery Jack o’ Face 09

•Hockey Stick

•Butcher Knife

•Witch’s Hat 09



NEW MONSTERS = NEW DROPS

The Moglinsters have stolen more than just Myx! These crazed furballs are dropping bunches of “borrowed” Mogloween treats! Get your hands on brand-new holiday themed weapons and spooky home décor, including:



•Moglow Wand

•Swirly Candy Carpet

•Haunted Tombstone

•Pumpkin Leaf Sword



MORE BANK SLOTS!

With the addition of all these awesome items, we just had to raise the Bank Cap from 40 bank slots to 60! The “Human Vault” achievement will be fixed too, so if you have already received this badge in the Book of Lore, it will stay there. A new Human Vault badge will be rewarded when all 60 bank slots have been purchased! Remember, you can store as many AC items as you want in the bank for free.



OPEN 4 GIFT BOXES

Due to player request, 2 of the Member presents and 2 of the nonmember presents from the Sweetish Fish will be opening THIS weekend: Prismtic Gift Box, Pink Gift Box, Purple Gift Box, and Yellow Gift Box. Once these presents open themselves, these gifts will be removed from the Sweetish Fish. I hope you were lucky enough to get these presents! Who knows what surprises will be hidden inside?



FOUNDERS GET THEIR PRESENTS, TOO!

The Platinum Dragon will be once again made available to Founders! It is the EXACT same pet from a year ago, so remember: if you currently don't have an active membership, then you can't equip it. We are also releasing the all-new Armored Platinum Dragon to Founders! This new rare Founder-only pet is NON-MEMBER so you can show off your founder status even after your membership expires! But hurry, Founders; this shop vanishes on November 1st, so head on over to Aria’s Pet Shop and claim what is rightfully yours!



1ST UPHOLDER ACHIEVEMENT

During the entire month of October, if you purchase any AQWorlds Membership upgrades or AdventureCoins, you will receive the title of 1st Upholder. This also works for players who upgrade using our cards found at Best Buy. 1st Upholder will be displayed as a new badge on your character page, in your book of Lore, AND it will unlock the super-rare Golden Starsword! Only 1 week left!



Note: Did you upgrade just before this announcement? Do not worry, you are covered! As long as your character has a membership which is valid through October 31st, you will get the 1st Upholder Achievement too. Thank you for your support!



COMING SOON: BALLYHOO!

Just who is Ballyhoo? Best known from AdventureQuest and DragonFable, Ballyhoo is the Master of Promotion and the official provider of Hoopla. And we have word that she is on her way to AQW! Once Ballyhoo arrives and gets settled in, you will be able to win prizes—including gold, AC, and rare items—by visiting her every day!





Battle On and Happy Mogloween!

Aqworlds doom knight

Prepare thyself for war, Hero!




I am Gravelyn, leader of the Shadowscythe Empire.



It is the eve of AQWorld's 1st birthday, and the time has come to rescue all of our friends from the Golden Onslaught! The only way to accomplish this... is for YOU to join my undead army. I will transform you and your fellow adventurers into skeletons, allowing you to pass through the Death Fog unscathed. But I need some of you to help lead this army to victory... by becoming DoomKnights!

DOOMKNIGHT


At sundown on the eve of AQWorld’s birthday, the highly anticipated DoomKnight Class shall be unleashed! In addition to the class, there are three brand-new DoomKnight armors, a Shadowscythe cape, and four helms. The DoomKnight Class features the following devastating attacks and skills...



* Dark Siphon

* Soul Crush

* Void Strike

* Blood Offering



JOIN THE UNDEAD ARMY!

For ages during the month of October, my Father’s (Sepulchure) skeletal minions have waged war against your towns and quaint villages. But this year, WE are going to create the largest army of skeletal players in the world and launch an assault to save our friends! Maximilian Lionfang is holding them captive in a seemingly impenetrable fortress. The Death Fog kills everything that comes in contact with it... but you cannot kill that which is already dead! Join my Army as a DoomKnight, an Undead Warrior, or an Undead Mage! Nine brand-new items will be dropping from our opponents-so don't hold anything back! Onwards to the Death Fog, my minions.. and onwards to victory!



AQW'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!

Your favorite MMORPG is turning ONE YEAR OLD on October 10th. Happy Birthday everyone! In order to celebrate this incredibly special day, a huge party is underway-balloons, presents, party streamers, and cake as far as the Undead eye can see! Since the heroes are missing, Twig-the fish and ice cream loving Moglin-has been put in charge of the festivities. Use the button in town called "1st Birthday" to go there. Wrapped Gift Boxes will drop from the mutant party mascot that Twig lured to the party! There are 10 different Gift Boxes to collect, but you can’t open them until November 1st. (No peeking) Who knows what surprises will be hidden in them? Also, the Party crashing monster will drop his weapons, armor, and helms, along with an adorable fish-out-of-water pet!



FIRST UPHOLDER ACHIEVEMENT

Founders are getting a special treat at the end of the month. Did you miss out on becoming a Founder? Well, you don't want to miss out on being a First Upholder! During the entire month of October, if you purchase any AQWorlds Membership upgrades or AdventureCoins, you will receive the title of First Upholder. This also works for players who upgrade using our cards found at Best Buy. 1st Upholder will be displayed as a new badge on your character page, in your book of Lore, AND it will unlock a super-special-uber-rare item!



Note: Did you upgrade just before this announcement? Do not worry, you are covered! As long as your character has a membership which is valid through October 31st, you will get the 1st Upholder Achievement too. Thank you for your support!



SKELETON SPEAK 101

We hope you enjoy this special birthday release. As you may know from playing our other games, the undead are not actually able (or allowed) to speak in our world. Here are a few helpful phrases to aid you in talking to the other skeletons...



Hi! - Arrrrrrrreeeeewwww

LOL - Arrrrrrrreeeeewwww

Can I have some tea? - Arrrrrrrreeeeewwww

Where is the bathroom? - Arrrrrr.... ewwwwwww?

Never mind, I didn't really need to go - Arrrrrrrreeeeewwww

You will find me at the war camp. The time has come to save our friends... so try not to break a leg..



Long Un-Live the Shadowscythe!

Trick and Treat, Hero!

Mogloween is back in town—and so are your favorite heroes! Thank you for saving us from Lionfang’s Prison… we would have been goners if it weren’t for you and your brave Undead friends! To honor your hard and “dead-icated” work, we have teamed up with Safiria and the Cauldron Sisters to make this the best Mogloween of all time!

Login now and be a part of Mogloween 2009!MOGLOWEEN 2009
Mystcroft has magically reappeared, bringing back all of your favorite holiday characters. The Queen of Vampires, Safiria, will be in the middle of town, supplying you with all your Mogloween tricks and treats. The Cauldron Sisters have also returned, just waiting to get their hands on some delicious candy! And what Mogloween would be complete without Ghostly Sheets, Jack-O-Dooms, and even the Great Pumpkin King? Brand new baddies will make an appearance as well—after all, Gravelyn had to send her extra undead somewhere…

LIONFANG—KING OF THE FORTRESS
You may have defeated the Archlord of the Golden Onslaught, but the horrible memory of Maximilian Lionfang’s “mission” remains in all of our minds. *shudder* If you are brave enough to battle him again, you just may find yourself as the proud new owner of the following items:

•Maximilian Armor
•Maximilian’s Helmet
•Maximilian’s Whip
•Maximilian’s Cape

Only the truly brave and vigilant will be able to collect the entire set. Will you be one of the few?

SEASONAL RARE ITEMS
Missed out on last year’s Mogloween? No problem! We will be releasing 2009 versions of last year’s items; this means you can still get all the Mogloween costumes, helms, and weapons that were released last year! The only thing different will be a “2009” tag added to the name. Those of you who participated last year will still have the original 2008 versions while everyone can get their hands on the 2009 edition Mogloween items! Some of these items include:

•Banana Suit
•Red Moglin Head
•Vampire Armor (Vampire Class has gone Rare!)
•Witch Armor (Witch Class has gone Rare!)
•Jack-O-Doom Helm
•Pumpkin Lord Class
•And much, much more (this is not the actual name of an item)

Don’t miss out this year! These items are Seasonal Rares, so this is your only chance to get the 2009 Mogloween armors, helms, weapons, and pets!

MOGLOWEEN FAQ
We hope you enjoy this special holiday release. As you may know from playing our other games, Mogloween is only around for a limited time and offers Season Rare items for you to collect. Listed below are a few common answers to extremely common questions regarding Mogloween:

•When is Mogloween?—The Mogloween festivities begin Friday, October 16th, and lasts the entire month of October and into the first part of November!

•Where is Mogloween?— Mogloween is held annually in the town of Mystcroft. You can journey to this mysterious place via the giant “Mogloween” button found in Battleon.

•Will there be new Mogloween items?—Of course there will be new items! We cannot see into the future, so we do not know if these new items will become Seasonal Rares or Permanent Rares! Here is just a sneak-peak of some of the new items in store—we don’t want to ruin all the surprises:

•Bodyless Horseman Morph
•Misericorde de Nyx
•Ghostly Blanket
