Thursday the 12th Golden Giftboxes
COMING THIS WEEK!
The second unluckiest day of the year returns! Unwrap your own color-custom Mason Form Armor, Deatharrows Cat, Krieger Klaws, and the sinister Mason Masks. In Energy as well as the original variants!

The following Golden Giftboxes prizes will be leaving this week: Prometheus Armor & Prometheus Faces
2022 Cinco de May the 4th
Creatures feeding exclusively on goats, called Chupacabras, have been sighted around Lore! You must find these elusive monsters during random battles and track them back to their den if you are to save the dwindling goat population. You may even stumble upon the rare Zard Pinata monster that is full of new and returning festive rares! Starslayer has arrived from space to take over The Void. With Dark Visor battling by his side, this pair will make short work of any unprepared challengers! Defeat Dark Madder's top apprentice and claim new rewards, including a special "Dark Madder" armor.

Limited-Time Shop
COMING THIS WEEK!
In the Limited-Time shop find spells to conjure the deadly Mason to fight by your side! His iconic machete attuned to a cursed lake, striking with the stronger of Darkness or Water damage! Also grab (carefully) your own Broken Mirror Defender. Few things are as unlucky as breaking a mirror, so when a foe strikes this shield, some of that misfortune can lash out at them! Make sure you do not open the Unfortunate Umbrella indoors, unless it's raining indoors, then you may have bigger issues to worry about.

The following gear will be leaving this week: Choco-light Axes, Hedgemog Spells and Pet Also:
This will be the last week to grab Lorekeeper's Oath before it leaves the LTS, and the meat-eor in Battleon disappears!
Squee Booster Pet
20K Z-Token Package!
You may remember this sad little blue Moglin, spending his days discussing philosophy in Boog's Tavern. Now ready to seek out adventure, this little fella will boost the damage of all your Water attacks!

6K Z-Token Package - Spirit of Rejuvenation Misc:
This ethereal charm gives you resistance to Earth attacks and the fortitude to last until Spring (+END)! It also normally gives +10% gold from battles when in your active inventory, and a +25% boost during May!

~Tag. Eek Thursday 12th, anyone got a spare clover? ~Anim
Edit: Updated with LTS leaving news.

Why has the Squee Booster Pet from about 6 months ago not been added yet to the Ballyhoo's upgrade shop
while Megoi Booster Pet from just about a few weeks ago has already been added to the Ballyhoo's upgrade shop?

I I apologize if I'm bothering someone or something like that ... Thanks!

 No, Squee is not included in this week's release. This will be the last week to grab Lorekeeper's Oath before it leaves the LTS, and the meat-eor in Battleon disappears!

Shoot was hoping we'd see the new stat changes this week. Ah well.

That really does feel like something that should be finished before the summer saga begins.

Otherwise, the rest of the revamp will likely be postponed until next year

 Not that it'll happen but I really would like that all the Masons would just return every Friday 13th. Sure there will be those who rise up from the woodworks to stop it but at this point we can never stop hoping. Also we're getting to a point where now nearly all the season/event based content is becoming more accessible. Time for Masons and like equips to follow suit and fall in line. It's only right.

Also, now that we're having an LTS update to de-clutter the shop, I actually can't remember which of those items are LTS versus GGB? Either way since it'll be part of this release can't wait to see its actual implementation.

Considering that the staff clearly stated that the two related to Thursday the 12th being in the holiday month (March and December), the armors wouldn't come back until the next time it occurs, it wouldn't be right for them to come back before then. After that, sure. No issues at that point. Until then, the staff will keep their word.

Any updates regarding the stat changes? Last I heard was that it was supposed to be finished before end of April and it's already May now. Even if we can't get it soon can we at least have an update on the progress? Are the staff already in the midst of implementing it but need more time or are they still at the stage of being undecided on what to change?

 IMR has been working on weekly releases, but she's still making progress on the stat overhaul with a new blocking formula mostly worked out, along with some nerfs to DEX and buffs to STR.

Our Thursday the 12th release is live!

 Checked it out, the LTS update is amazing! The only nitpick I have is the May the 4th shop as I have been lobbying for is its own thing instead of attached to Starslayer. Though that said it's still an amazing overall feature and I'm glad it's been done. Hopefully this means seasonal content can be more of a flip-switch thing than something actually involved and allows you guys to be able to work on more important releases with a greater time budget.

Also just a tiny suggestion: I think the LTS hub should be restored back below the "Elite Items" Button. It's a little un-intuitive to get to since the only way to get to it right now is by accessing it through the event page and the other available items that aren't Friday 13th aren't advertised as being available. Also there should be a way to at the home battleon menu to easily access your inventory. People also used the old LTS shop to easily access their inventories. Now that the button is gone and the LTS is now a hub it's a bit difficult to be able to access your inventory.



Also a major suggestion: Now this update is made and we have more paintings, we really need to also overhaul the House Paintings UI. Currently as it stands it's difficult to navigate between paintings especially if you have many paintings in your inventory where it takes an incredible time to load them all. And this update just made it so I'm carrying 4 more paintings in my inventory. The bug where it shuffles around also isn't properly fixed and needs to be seriously addressed. Perhaps a UI like what we have with the LTS is appropriate also for a painting overall. Have a grid of buttons so that you can instantaneously access any painting in your inventory with a click instead of having to cycle through them all. I actually have it right now where I have to sort my paintings in my inventory to access certain paintings that I use frequently (Farming Void Paintings). If this can also be done the cycle will be complete.

Already acknowledged and hopefully have we'll a solution for better house portrait cycling soon. ~Anim

Can we have Ice/Darkness Pet versions of both Call/Summon Cocytus Fiend of Nulgath
and Call/Summon Dread Fiend of Nulgath (with Backlash effects) from the GGB Rare shop?

Much love for the LTS update! Makes the shops a lot less cluttered. And I never thought I'd like a hockey mask with sunglasses so much, lol.

I'm not sure if paintings for shops that do not have anything else (quests, rewards, fights) should be worth 1500 tokens?

Could we make LTS paintings 500 tokens instead?

I think, the price should remain the same regardless of ...

From purchasing a Portal Painting, a Package, a GGB item, etc
we could at least support the company, appreciate their hard work, etc.

 @battleseige15: I would argue that, on the one hand being able to get items with 0 battles and questing is a huge upside. Imagine a perk where we could have straight access to MC Sets for example. I would definitely pay for a painting to for example, be able to skip the entire Dragonlord Questing and be able to access those shops immediately (Note: I don't actually advocate this but consider this an example). Though I do agree the paintings aren't probably going to be worth it to a lot of people, those same people should reconsider that position as these paintings will only get more valuable over time as more items get added to them. That's one of reasons that I at least advocated for these shops so that not only would we have access to existing items for all time, but also so that the staff can easily add more items to the shops as the years go by which then also gets added to these shops for permanent access. For me personally, the decision wasn't made on the present value of the paintings, but on the potential value of them. An investment in simpler terms.

@BKS: We can appreciate their hard work (I can't say enough praise for this LTS update!), but blind cheerleading isn't really the way either. A good playing experience requires honesty and real feedback. Void Paintings for example should probably get looked at on this tangent because they're the most scarce of all paintings and provide the least value comparatively since no new items are added to them (unless it's Starslayer whom seems to be a great exception to the general rule). This is unlike a lot of other paintings which get their rewards updated regularly. The only reason to get a void painting at this point is for farming, and only specific ones (fruitcake, nulgath, alpha, caecus, etc) or because you really don't want to wait for a rotation to come full circle. With the supposed void update paintings are going to be a hard sell unless there's some other reason people want them besides item access (ie farming). If it's like any other pay-to-skip scheme that exists already (Gnuvian, LoL, etc) then it only makes sense to buy paintings if you use it a lot of times (in that case, it's 6 times to break even, +7 times to profit). People also don't realize this but vaulting also decreases reasons to get paintings as well because you can use 1 painting to give all your characters the same item. Which isn't a bad thing of course but it's not meritless to raise the discussion about why all paintings are priced the same when the value proposition isn't the same for all of them and we're all here asking for a better playing experience and the AQ team has specifically committed itself to QoL / Anti-Annoyance updates.



Also a question: I know Unfortunate Umbrella is a ranged item, but I should still get full damage using Tempest Power Armor because of its melee conversion right? I remember at least you can use Magic Items with it to bring them up to Melee level so I'm thinking that maybe Ranged works the same as well?

PS: Small tangent: Because Unfortunate Umbrella is added it just makes the Friday 13th painting just that little more valuable. Just food for thought.

Regarding the Void Bosses, when will Tooty Fruitcake Zard arrive?

Taken from adventurequestwiki additional information it's Tooty Fruitcake Zard.

@legendd I was hoping that they would cycle round and eventually return same with the Deatharrows Cat.

 @anim: I didn't realize you'd replied in-comment until I'd looked today, but thanks for the kind response on my suggestion!

Other other food for thought...

On the LTS update, some of the items that are added sometimes aren't really attached to anything specific like for example: Light of Destinies (although this appears to have been added to the May the 4th shop), Light of Zealotries, Cray's Birthday, etc. I am somewhat curious how they'd deal with that. Also for a holiday like 4oJ/New Years which tend to share the same items to be available, those should share the same shop/painting(s) or are they both getting different ones with the same items? I think if it's the former it would be a gracious thing to do. Though if it's the latter I think people would be hard pressed to buy both when both paintings point to the same set of items. I might be getting ahead of myself but it's worth thinking about *what* the LTS is going to look like from here on out.

I'd argue anyways that along with adding a May the 4th painting, there should also be a link to Starslayer in LTS for the month of May (along with the other takeovers that pause the rotation) so as to not require the rotation to be paused. Even with a Void overhaul coming coincidentally around the same time as the 4oJ stuff, without key details on *what* that exact update is going to be like I'd argue that the LTS hub shouldn't be considered a shop-only hub targeting specific holidays, but a general hub for all themed content. A re-brand may be necessary on that thought...

Also, someone did check to make sure that when the LTS was removed that all the items were placed back to where they should have been right? I just hope that update didn't cause any items to go to limbo on accident.
