Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul
COMING THIS WEEK!

Unleash the true essence of chivalry and embark on a reimagined journey as the massive scripts for the Knight class plus the Edge of Extinction undergo some exciting rewrites! A renewed legend begins, noble Knights!

This first update covers the Paladin Vs. Necromancer War and Base Knight Class. The scripts involve major character arcs and include pivotal events in the game's history that diverges from the current established lore, leading to confusion among players and compromising the game's narrative integrity. Through a thorough reevaluation of these scripts, Lorekeeper aims to create a more coherent and engaging storyline that respects the lore's continuity. We appreciate the ongoing support of our community as we strive to enhance the game's lore and deliver a truly epic gaming adventure!

Limited-Time Shop - Back-To-School
COMING THIS WEEK

Gear up for an academic adventure like no other as the Back-to-School Limited-Time Shop returns to the realm of AdventureQuest! Bigger and better than ever, with new and returning gear guaranteed to make you the ultimate scholar.


Note: Seems to be a recurring theme that these newsletters are now coming on Sundays. I like that.

Also looking forward to the Knight Class update. Knight is one of the worst experiences in the game and I hope it can get streamlined. No more forced class equipping and an update to the scaling would be a godsend.

Eek that's a long subject title this week. Oh right "Back to" tagging the thread....Tag you're it. ~Anim



PD -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/21/2023 0:53:25)

^^ Good catch, didn't see that bit in there, updated the thread title and content.

Hopefully that LTS shop includes all the equipment from the past. Thinking:
  • Schoolboy set items + Hydro versions (every piece)
  • Academy Exuberance/Elegance set items (every piece)

    Quite frankly raffles were indeed terrible and I'm glad we'll just be getting an LTS. Quite frankly despite the branding of items no longer being branded "permanently rare" effectively all these items are until they're brought back. There's no reason for these things. Everyone hates these things.

    I never did like the raffle either.



    Sapphire -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/21/2023 10:25:09)

    I just want zorbaks ebil pencil to be there



    The Hollow -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/24/2023 13:00:29)

    Starting September 1st, the Back-To-School daily prize giveaway will kick off, featuring the same prizes as last year.

    It is looking like another Friday release folks!



    JhyShy -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/24/2023 14:21:34)

    Hopefully the giveaway items per day are at least 50 per day and not 30 or 20



    Lorekeeper -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/24/2023 14:50:25)

    To tide you guys over until Friday, here are a few authorized teases!

  • Nothing shady going on here!
  • Trauma? Trauma.
  • Braaaaaaaiiins.
  • They probably just don't want to make Moglin sized cloaks. Cheapskates.
  • Okay, there might be something shady going on here.

    While I'm happy that last years' prizes will return, I'm still pretty disappointed by this development. There's literally no reason to restrict the items like this and people have complained in the past about locking some Best-In-Slot items behind something that's not even guaranteed. Granted I haven't even seen the items in the BTS yet but this is still not an ideal thing to do regardless.

    I also want to say that just in general I've hoped there would be less items that are rotational/seasonal. At least with LTS shops you have access to them later (although they should still be buy-able any time of the year). The BTS raffle just isn't it.



    Sapphire -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/24/2023 17:33:55)

    Im literally ok with it, as these raffles aren't the most exciting thing ever and I wouldn't mind more shields and the male version of the armor. It's better than not having a raffle at all.



    Primate Murder -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/24/2023 23:45:12)

    @ Lorekeeper

    I suddenly feel an intense desire to become an Emoran knight.


    Edit: Also, 'braaaaaiiins' are not, apparently, a part of Emoran storyline. I'm not sure how to feel about that.



    PD -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/24/2023 23:51:32)

    Seems like the release is live.

    Pretty disappointed in the Back to School LTS. Not because the new items aren't good (they are actually amazing). But the fact is that the shop is missing a lot:

  • No Academy items in the shop. I understand the raffle is going on but again, nobody likes this and it's an extremely unfair mechanism of reward. There needs to be a way to guarantee access to the Academy set when you can't win the very limited amount of prizes.
  • No Schoolboy + Hydro Variants. As far as I can tell these aren't ever coming back.

    Again it's not the strength of the items that matters, it's the availability that matters. Utility shouldn't dictate whether some practice is acceptable or not.

    @Hollow: Please consider adding ways to get the old BTS raffle items. Unconditionally.



    • The Hollow -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/24/2023 23:54:47)

    The release is live! The Back-To-School painting was missed being added to the shop, but is now available.



    kreem -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/25/2023 1:28:44)

    You can't access the new dialogue yet, it seems to check for level 10 fighter instead of level 5 fighter. I restarted my pc cleared cache before logging in.



    Kamui -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/25/2023 2:07:57)

    Okay, fixed the borks with the quest, everything should work fine now!



    Lorekeeper -> RE: Base Knight Class & Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul Update (8/25/2023 15:39:06)

    Repeated dialogue bubbles in Edge of Extinction should now be fixed as well.



    Rastaban -> RE: =AQ= Base Knight Class, Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul, & Back to School LTS Update (8/26/2023 0:05:31)

    Overwhelming Surge spell is priced interestingly.



    LoreQuester -> RE: =AQ= Base Knight Class, Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul, & Back to School LTS Update (8/26/2023 21:54:14)

    The new lore for knights is pretty interesting, though it also makes me curious as to whether Rennd and Granemor will retain their original motivation to continue the war (especially now that the role of Granemor and Deren seems to have been flipped)

    It's a bit odd that people, or farmers most likely, would flock under Stormfallen's banner when their land is literally a pile of burning magma. There is magic to make anything habitable, sure, but I was under the impression that humans still hate living in places that go far beyond "scorching desert"

    Tathlin seems to be much tamer compared to his old self (magic hater, demon killing enthusiast) and I can't even imagine how different the other 3 knight leaders will be. Given how current quests all but confirm that unity between kingdoms will be needed, here's hoping a definite solution to their total war status. Also, if the original aggressor turns out to be a certain bird-lover, I would honestly not even be surprised at this point



    Lorekeeper -> RE: =AQ= Base Knight Class, Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul, & Back to School LTS Update (8/26/2023 23:54:44)

    Stormfallen's border and primary fortress are what's been warped into a fiery wasteland. They *do* have more workable land, but Pria Knights are unfamiliar with it. The conflict with the Crimson Legion primarily takes place around the outer fringes of this seared territory -- More details on that will shine through as the individual faction rewrites are released. Each one will have a major piece of the overarching mystery.



    Exodasbr -> RE: =AQ= Base Knight Class, Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul, & Back to School LTS Update (8/27/2023 6:57:58)

    Interesting.



    Grace Xisthrith -> RE: =AQ= Base Knight Class, Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul, & Back to School LTS Update (8/28/2023 11:21:57)

    About the recent BTS LTS items, very cool, I intend to get at least one during BF.

    That being said, I believe there's a mistake on the Halberd. It gains +20% damage, 3x LS chance, or +12 bth. The first two seem right for what it pays (15% melee + MC), but the bth seems off. 4.25 bth is 5% melee, so I would've expected 17 bth instead.

    As a follow up, I enjoy RNG items like this theoretically, but I don't usually end up using them because they're inconsistent. Is there a chance a standard might be adopted for intentionally random items such as these, Gambler's blade, I can't think of any others off the top of my head, but these types of weapons, could a standard be made to increase their appeal? I was thinking something like an extra MC, a "random bonus" or something, to give all of their effects 5% more power. That would be small, but potentially motivate players to use them more.

    Either way, very nice lore drops, enjoyed the release. Thanks :)



    EveretteAnkunding -> RE: =AQ= Base Knight Class, Edge of Extinction Script Overhaul, & Back to School LTS Update (9/15/2023 3:53:17)

    I am surprised.
