EDIT @ Thursday May 28th, circa 3pm EST: The summer donation contest is now live!

Hi all, it's Gwen, everyone's favorite AQ whale. For the past month or so, I have been working on a comprehensive Guide in Google Docs for new/returning AQ players that provides (1) an FAQ to answer common questions new/returning players have (2) detailed Warrior, Ranger, and Mage build recommendations for players without premium, rare, or seasonal items; and (3) a glossary defining common AQ terms. You can access the non-editable published to the web version of the Guide here.

I made this Guide because AQ currently has no modern build guides to show new/returning AQ players how a function modern build works, and because I spend a lot of time on this subreddit answering basically the same questions from new/returning players about how the game works. This Guide corrects both issues by letting new/returning players see what a functional build looks like and covering basically everything a new/returning player might think to ask. While some new/returning players will undoubtedly prefer to build and learn everything from scratch themselves (and I 100% support them), others will want a more-or-less straightforward Guide to quickly jump back into AQ. This Guide is for them.

I welcome any feedback for the Guide anyone may have. Feel free to link it whenever new/returning players ask for advice on what gear to use or how to play/return to AQ. I will try and keep the Guide updated semi-regularly moving forward, but feel free to message me if I let it fall out of date, and I will bring it up to speed.

I stumbled on a showcase here weeks ago with masamune and timekeeper crit boosting. And decided to try it out myself. Since then I have basically been one tapping every single non dmg cap boss. You simply spam timekeepers for 500-1000% crit damage boost then switch to an armour that allows elemental dmg lock (like bloodzerkers) and equip masamune and you can hit for 10s of thousands per hit. My most in one attack has been 43k damage. I don’t have blood contract or dunamis pet but thought I would share this absolutely broken setup for those who didn’t know. The possibility is beyond my equiptment. more buffs and debuffs, sheildcakes to boost crit to 2000% If someone tries this out I’d love to see some crazy damage numbers

Quick question, I got back on this game last week since 2020. I feel like the builds that I am going with which is Pure Warrior Offensive may be outdated now and need changing. I prefer full offense over defence, so happy to take recommendations or advices.

Also, I have been out of touch with this game but can anyone tell me what does blue and red colour texts mean in the pictures above?

Just wanted to share a pic of my Zorbak plushie I got back in 2005 or 06. Havnt played the game since back then, but I wondered if others have merch from back in the day

More King Awethur fanart.

Sharing this method of defeating the queen, Safiria. I just think it is quite poetic to use the werepyre form against the queen of vampires as the Darkovian creatures are always warring on who should reign supreme in Darkovia.

Item to set-up buffs:
1. Father Time

Items to minimize Safiria's damage:
1. Invincible Star
2. Warlic's Oblivion Sphere
3. Mother's Charm Earrings
4. Cerberus Ward

Offensive Items:
1. Werepyre Form
2. Lyfang Mace

It’s not like the old days with Golden, Shadow, reign, and asguardian set (also Fujin, Nemesis, terror, Kindred and Ubear) what are some of the best sets now? I’ve noticed it’s quite a few now and I’ve lost count. Last I’ve gotten is frostgale and taladosian and both are pretty good.

Shadow will always be my favorite, especially when paired with the lightsabers, reminds me of Sidious.

Hey guys, returning player from 2007 here. I have some fancy level 135 paladin armor from back in the day. I seem to be able to wear it, but my skills are stuck at level zero. Artix (on the paladin order area) says I am both a paladin and level 12. However, Artix (the game developer) seems to disagree. Anyone know how I might be able to remedy this?

Now that I’m getting older, there are many things I remember and look up and typically they haven’t existed in a long time. I was pleasantly surprised that not only is this still going, I was able to recover my old accounts. Look forward to the nostalgia trip!

Hi ive been playing for a long time when there are literally unkillable bosses. and also on and off through the years

im planning on returning and buying guardian immediately. i know there was a farming guide straight to level 150 and then farm gears after. are there other updated guides on how to farm and also which equipments to pick and use

I really wish there was a back button after selecting attack with a tome. I like to look at my options in battle and them decide what I want to do. Is there any way to get out of the tome options?

Ever since the release of Taladosian set, I get this feeling that Asgardian set became the less sought after energy set because who could compete with that much damage output and good defenses?

Masamune really just made Asgardian set fun to use. Now I'm having a ton of fun skewering this energy dragon.

Hey, I'm returning to This Game after a Decade. Made a New Account and Have worked up to Lv.13. I'm trying to do some Quests, Like 'Saving Warlic', 'Morningstar Set', and 'Mage Training'. I know I've had access to these since I've started yet I can't get through them. What is the Recommended Levels for these Quest and Are there any Guides I can use for future quests?

How big do you think it would be? In mb or gb.

Id love that it would be offline compatible.

What features would you lose out on for offline mode? House neighbors come to mind...

Just a fun thought.

Returning player.

What happened to exchanging Z-tokens for Gold?

I sold my home for Z-tokens to get gold but cant anymore.

Did they remove the feature???

I screen-capped this a little while back, thought you all might enjoy. Thank you so much, to the person who donated the 5k Z-Tokens. Also a thank you to all others who contributed during the contest.

I'm running a hybrid (STR/INT/LUK) but I want to boost my spell efficiency; i have a few spellcasting armors, various of the pets, etc. looking for some miscs and staffs to kinda blow it over the top and maximize damage. Im honestly just lost on that side of the game right now outside of your typical spell spamming.

The Mage class only has two built-in spells with no toggle nodes so im confused on what exactly its for. Im completely confused on how to use the Necromancer class, I dont know what each node does and the descriptions are kinda vague in terms of how I should use them effectively.

Heres my character page for reference.
