The Summon/Call Festive Chilly / Mog Lightnaut / Mysterious Necromoglin / Ramssy have been released.
Currently, they are in GGB UR shop.

They are guest versions of the Booster pets. https://www.battleon.com/aq-tokens.asp

There might be a good reason, why...
  • One of many good reasons was because of the Summon/Call Mog Lightnaut guests have been released to pair with.
  • It was a bit strange that there was a Mog Lightnaut guest but there was not a Mog Lightnaut pet.
    Currently, Summon/Call Mog Lightnaut guests are in GGB UR shop.
  • Mog Lightnaut guest/pet belong together to be used in battles like the other Booster guests/pets.
  • The Mog Lightnaut Booster Pet is missing from the Z-Token Packages list, that's why.
    I think, when the Summon/Call Mog Lightnaut guests will leave, the Mog Lightnaut Booster Pet will also leave.

  • In my opinion, I think, I suggest:
    Grab your chance before it'll never return again or hopefully it will return every year
    in order to give many people/players with a new AQ game account
    or for another good reason a chance to purchase it as well.

    I have nothing of power, I'm sorry for your concerning about it, but several other players requested it as well.
    The next (new) players in the future might also want it.

    I've had to answer this question a frankly discouraging amount of times. In fairness, though, that is generally on Discord rather than here.

    For a definitive answer: No. No single player, or group thereof for that matter, holds the kind of sway over the team that has been repeatedly alluded to.

    The timing is odd since there is nothing Toy Story related happening until maybe 2023. Since the guest version was rereleased, and I doubt anyone wants to wait that long, I've rereleased the pet for a limited time.

    I'll also point out that the forums are not the only place that players message me. There was not only 1 player asking for Dragon Hide, so I'd appreciate it if you stopped repeating that nonsense.

While I am of course not guaranteed even just one of the one's I wanted making it in. Is it because I didn't ask in the other thread? That seems really.. disheartening..

    @Mr. Rogueish: As with any suggestion thread, there's no guarantee that your item will get picked (None of mine have this year either). It's a matter of both popularity and luck. I did a quick search and found that only one of your suggestions (Rare death hunter) was supported by anyone else. Maybe it would help to get some other people's support next time? I wouldn't fret about missing the chance though (it's happened plenty of times to me before). Not only do we get another chance every year, but Hollow has also mentioned we could well get another in just a few months time.

    No worries, buddy! The Hollow has said we may get another Crossover event in April/May, with more suggestions.

    Most of us probably didn't get our suggestions in, because there are a lot! It's fine. In the meantime, maybe you will find the Female Ninja guest interesting?

    Hopefully the release will hit soon!

    You do not need to have posted on prior threads for your suggestions to be eligible. As highlighted by the volume of suggestions, and the statement that there may be another round of cross-game items, there are far more than can be implemented in any given event. An idea could be selected and then postponed due to time constraints, or other circumstances.

    A second point for consideration, in case it helps a future reference, would be the ease of implementation of an asset. These are generally imported or adapted assets, making the production speed of the port a primary concern in the likelihood of implementation. Armors are the most time consuming item to create, and this by extension applies to adapting them (Especially when shadowed background limbs have to be filled in, in addition to other alterations). This is absolutely not to say that armors won't get selected, but there are fewer of them by necessity.

    Following from this: 3D assets, front views of NPCs, forum avatars would qualify more as inspiration for entirely new items rather than falling under the scope of the cross-game event. Similarly, the 90º angle of DragonFable armors doesn't match player faces in AQ's 3/4 view, and would have to hide them with a DF face (Or perhaps use a helmet asset as well).

    While I don't have the authority to say much more (I've kept to what can be pieced together from player-side facts), I hope this information is helpful!

    They may release a retro Bard of War or like Zombie Bard of War in the future so don't fret.

    I'm so excited for the Eternal Dragon of Time pet. I hope it's not an UR but it probably will be :(

    In the end, it's nice to know that the Dev are right here and are actively taking care of doubts and complains. Not many Devs try to be so outspoken.

    On another note, and since the subject was somewhat touch upon, @staff (or whoever knowns really): Who on the Dev team is the most in charge of coming up with the mechanics side of the equipments?

    (I've been told Hollow is the lead, Cray the story writer, and they work with several artist or they do it themselves, but who says "mmm triforce... Well that could boost stats, four of them, and such). (Just for my curiosity, thanks to anyone who answers).

    They're still working on Exalted Unity, the third Dark Asgardian item is the Dark Asgardian Shield - not the armor. Same as the regular Asgardian shield with a daze skill.

    Definitely loving some of the items, few of my faves are the Baby Eternal Dragon, Lightcaster and Dark Mjolnir. Haven't tried Lust yet, but it might be cool with the boost to lucky strike rate on fire attacks. Not backlash, but at least it's unique - plus the reducing heals might be helpful.

    They're live! Info subs are out. Just my thoughts on the new items:

    Common:
    • Havarti Blade: Interesting Light Magic (CHA) weapon. Deals 27% less damage but also has a chance to give your Pets and Guests Celerity which could make up for the damage loss. Fun little toy for beastmages I guess but not too gouda compared to other options like Fresh Asteraceae which deals -20% damage but +15% Pet and Guest damage which doesn't require a save AND extra turn cost for the guest (and maybe pet if it has like a HP/SP cost).
    Rare:
    • Yarek's Staff: Fire Magic staff with lots of different leans and options between +5% damage or +4.25 BTH. Better options are available but does give you options to suit your battle better like if you're battling a monster with low defense or like the Roc. Wish you could see the different forms of the weapon on the shop preview.
    • Werepyre Slayer: Simple Darkness and Earth Secondary armor. Meant for battling creatures of the night for sure. It would go great with the Darkovian Bulwark. It will excel against Dracopyres and Werepyres though for a whopping +15% damage that doesn't come at the cost of extra damage taken or a HP cost. I will say that maybe some of the damage boost could have gotten into a status resistance against Creatures of the Night which would make this armor stand out a bit more, heck even add a SP cost to it. It would def up the usefulness of this armor a lot if that were the case. Maybe next time, a Werepyre Helm misc can be created just for that, a damage reduction and status protection vs. creatures of the night :o
    • Dark Jarnskjoldr: Darkness version of the Asgardian Shield. Best thing is that it has a built in skill for Daze and a bonus with the weapon. Downside to the skill is that the Daze factors in the monster's Darkness resistance which will likely be low due to you using a Darkness shield vs. them (shhh go away PCO users).
    • Call Female Shinobi: Wind guest with increased attack and Parry mode for -18 bth. Cool for defensive builds. Any chance there will be a summon version of it?
    • Legion Overlord Blade: Not surprised it's a parry pet. Haven't seen it in AQ but AQW has a pretty great art of it. Very sinister. >:D
    Ultra-Rare: Oh boy, all the good stuff is here as usual
    • LightCaster: Oh boy, -25% damage for a chance at Spirit Rend? And monster resists with CHA/LUK, a major save that most monsters have 0 invested in. This will be fun. Only thing is that there are so many good Light weapon alternatives. However, this one switches with MRM and synergizes really well with Darkness armors with skills. Does anyone know if you can use this weapon with Fiend of Light's skill for a stacked chance of Spirit Rend? Because that would be pretty sweet.
    • Dark Asgardian Weapons: Just Darkness versions of the Asgardian weapons (which btw recently did get updated to have a paralysis because a MC on no proc club & 100-proc weapon didn't add up, thank you so much IMR :D :D :D). Not too many things that synergize with a Darkness paralysis that you can use off the top of my head. It looks cool but don't really think it's worth an UR. @Staff: If this isn't planned already, could you have an option to swap between the 2 weapons via the Inventory Upgrader in the future? I'm sure people would love to have that option at least.
    • Dorky Derpmachine: I don't really follow the reasoning of why it exactly clears statuses but hey, at least it's an option. Not too useful for most of the mobs but something tells me that in the future, we will be seeing more status inflicting mobs so could be useful for that. Also has +25% damage for 2 turns which I assume does stack per cast so could go really well with Hydromancer/Hydrozerker.
    • Baby Eternal Dragon of Time: Of course this is an UR but I think it will be worth it. Paralysis and Choke are great tools and does work well for a defensive Beast build. They also have different saves for the Monster so you could use that to your advantage between different mobs. Worth an UR? For the cute art, absolutely yes.
    • Lust: Ok wow, another double effect pet. Heal modification attack is limited in use but I guess exactly what you want if you absolutely hate the Legendary Warrior with a burning passion when clearing your estate. Might be useful for the Essence of Wind Dragon? And the second attack boosting LS rate for Fire attacks by +40% is insane especially with misc/Poca de Gracia/Strawberry Shortcake shield (LUK boost PLUS CHA boost). Throw in a Ramsey guest and you're all set for massive Fire power. I will say though, I'm surprised this wasn't a Backlash guest.
    • Necomancer Deadly Empress Doll: Seems interesting but I guess I'll wait to see the damage from others before commenting further.
    All in all, interesting set of items. Thank you staff!

    Dodging builds rejoice. The ninja and dark pet are amaaaaaazing for you guys. I got them for niche fights. Decided to test them out with ghost costume, ebil corp logo, and dodge spell buffs. I'm untouchable. I just beat the staff arena enthusiasts quest with the greatest of ease. I dodged every single one of Afterlife's Carandor's attacks. I felt NICE. Ironically it was D.U.M that got a single hit on me...

    Harvati Blade screams poor man's Bard of War. Even if one has Bard of War, a common box is so cheap that I'm sure practically all players can afford one to lose.

    I agree with battlesiege on Werepyre Slayer. Vampires and werewolves stand out as some of very few monsters that inflict status effects regularly. Their abilities to reduce BtH and MRM and inflict fear, respectively, are the real challenge to fighting them.

    I'm happy that dodge builds are getting some love, but I do wish we could've gotten Pig Drake back along with the new Shinobi and Legion Overlord Blade, the latter of which is a clone of Sin of Revontheus.

    Lightcaster is brilliant, and it only furthers my belief that we should have more freeze-like effects in the game.

    Baby Eternal Dragon of Light is beautiful, and those effects are great for status beastmasters. As battlesiege mentioned, the ability to switch based on monster stats for the roll is just fantastic.

    Lust's heal resistance effect is quite niche, as I do not recall many monsters healing themselves. However, the Hypercritical effect is pretty great, and it's a worthy substitute for the premium Ramssy pet. Nevertheless, I wish we got a backlash pet/guest instead since Lust's entire gimmick in DF was massive nukes and backlash damage.

    I'm super happy that the Asgardian items got some love. I always love seeing the iconic MC sets brought back to relevance in some way.

    I don't necessarily think this release was what many people were expecting or hoping for, but less popular builds got some love, and we have another crossover event later in the year for the "meta" builds. Thanks to the staff for all the hard work, and I cannot wait for the rest of the release!
