Lorekeeper -> =AQ= Item ART REFRESH Requests (9/17/2024 15:24:45)

Hello everyone! This is a simpler sister thread to the mechanical clone request thread! Do you have an old AdventureQuest item that you'd like to see fresh art for in a new, separate item? Submit your request here and we may find a new place for it in the game! We can make no promises about timing or implementation, but this lets us know what items you may be interested in seeing a modern version of with both new and classic art versions.

Some rules apply:

  • Keep in mind that if an item is premium in any way, the new version would have to have the same cost. It would be bad form for us to make a gold art refresh of a token item.
  • Make suggestions based on aesthetics, not function. This is a thread for refreshes of old item art, not for mechanical suggestions.
  • Please keep to AdventureQuest items. Item crossovers with the other games have a separate process.
  • Don't suggest full sets - Those will get updated over time in dedicated releases.
  • Include direct image links, not embeds.
  • Include a quick summary of why the item should be refreshed. Is it old but a classic? Is it close to modern styles but just needs a shading pass?
  • Please keep suggestions to a single reply per user and use the following template for each item: 


    [b]Item:[/b]
[b]Item location:[/b]
[b]Image link:[/b]
[b]Reason to choose the item:[/b]


    For an example of possible reasoning via Anim, one might request the Retro Bard of War and suggest:

    Reason to choose the item:The shading is somewhat lacking, and the animations could be smoother. I'd love to see this envisaged with more detail and more modernised AQ design.

    Item: W.H.E.E.L
    Item location: Infestation! Burp War 2014!
    Image link: W.H.E.E.L.
    Reason to choose the item:
    Hello!
    On behalf of a fellow AQ Player and I would like to see W.H.E.E.L. get a new coat of paint to bring it closer to more modern standards. Thank you for your consideration!



    Red Blood -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (9/17/2024 17:38:00)

    Item: Frost Guardian Plate
    Item location: Great Fire War/ Contest Prize
    Image link: Frost Guardian Plate
    Reason to choose the item: I'm putting it and it's fire version up here as I can see them both being visually stunning items. Worlds recently took to revamping the fire one so there is already a newer take at the fire one and an ice one could similarly show off a mastery of ice in it's super charged state. Granted understandable if this one is off the table simply due to it being left to rot in the code for too long + the old 1 hit nature about demands it get a proper bit of love for anyone to use it over other options.

    Item: Flame Guardian Plate
    Item location: Guardian Tower Shop
    Image link: Flame Guardian Armor
    Reason to choose the item: My reasons are mostly the same as the ice version but with this being something I've personally used in early AQ before age caught up with it. So I have a bit of personal fondness to it that lingers even now.


    Item:Sugar Rush Armor
    Item location: Mogloween Witch Hunt
    Image link: Sugar Rush
    Reason to choose the item: Beyond the personal attachment to this one I need to list the compression, the rare holiday resource eating boosts, multi hit skill that fallows weapon, and the fact a modern version of it exists in Worlds. One only needs to bring up the basic hit count, apply a modern lean on top of that for it to be solid all around. Adding onto it being seasonal this is available at least once a year with a Holiday release that could add to any possible marketing/ newsletter.

    Item: Knight of the Fire Orb
    Item location: Frostval 2014
    Image link: Knight of the Fire Orb
    Reason to choose the item: The art could really use a refresh as I always felt bits of this armor weren't anchored correctly to the model, and art refresh would honestly make it more appealing visually.



    MetalKnight -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (9/17/2024 23:12:31)

    Item: Chopalot
    Item location: Z-Token Weapon Shop
    Image link: Chopalot
    Reason to choose the item: that art design is pretty old, and the special attack animation is just pretty straightforward literally.

    Item: Warsmith Form
    Item location: Lair of MetalFace
    Image link: Warsmith
    Reason to choose the item: That form was from the Warsmith weapons, and it's pretty outdated art. i'd like to see that unique armor form get redesigned into a truly hulked-guardian that made of metal melds everywhere.

    Item: Bac-Ler
    Item location: Ep-pig!
    Image link: Bac-Ler
    Reason to choose the item: It look pretty bland and raw, so i'd like to see the old shield into a actual cookied bacon detailed.

    Item: Dragon King's Axe
    Item location: The Z-Token Weapon Shop
    Image link: Dragon King's Axe and Dragon king's Form(transformed)
    Reason to choose the item: Im very fond of the weapon and form's designs so much, and it's too unique. plus, it's too outdated with the old levels(25 levels to 90) i'd like to see it get updated with the strandard.

    Item: Panic
    Item location: Jagged Peak
    Image link: Panic
    Reason to choose the item: I love that armor cuz it's so massive, and its animations are unique. i'd like to see it get the strandard level, since it's outdated for 20 levels to 100.

    Seconding to Zeldax's suggestion about Corrupted Armor of Awe.



    Zeldax -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (9/17/2024 23:14:08)

    Item: Antiguardian Plate
    Item location: The AntiGuardian
    Image link: Antiguardian Plate
    Reason to choose the item: Always loved the Antiguardian Plate but its not really useable at max level.

    Item: Corrupted Armor of Awe (and by extension a possible Corrupted Awethur form as an armor)
    Item location: Ghin vs Awethur
    Image link: Corrupted Armor of Awe (and by extension Corrupted Awethur)
    Reason to choose the item: Really liked the design of Corrupted AoA (except for the round helmet). Regular AoA's art was "revamped" in recent years too. Also always wanted a Corrupted Awethur form as an armor (probably an FO counterpart to Corrupted AoA?)



    Dreiko Shadrack -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (9/18/2024 10:51:43)

    Item: Vitae Leech/Vitae Thirster
    Item location: Yulgar's Intermediate Shop
    Image link: [LINK]
    Reason to choose the item: The shading is...almost non-existent; the proportions are minuscule; the color choices are grating and remove even more detail; The design on it overall is uninspired. Nevertheless this is a rather iconic if now largely forgotten weapon.



    CH4OT1C! -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (9/21/2024 9:29:07)

    Item: Shiny Boy
    Item location: Big Mech Attack!
    Image link: LINK
    Reason to choose the item: I see this as a prime candidate that fits the bill for 'old AdventureQuest item that you'd like to see fresh art for in a new, separate item'; the armour itself is outdated (it lacks armours beyond Level 90) and relatively plain, just having two different standard armour attacks. Yet, it is a classic armour, one with art and animations so good that they still broadly hold up today, 15 years after its release. Only minor art edits are really necessary.

    Item: Glacial Short Staff
    Item Location: Frostvale Shop
    Image Link: LINK
    Reason to choose the item: Glacial Short Staff is iconic. I regularly hear calls for this item to be updated. However, I want to draw specific attention to the art of the item; despite being 15 years old, the art is still fairly good. The shading is a little overly simplistic (as would be expected of something this old) but the spell animations themselves serve as a good basis for a more refined animation. I've heard that @AnimAnimalKing might want to give this art a facelift if given the opportunity, and I fully support that notion.

    Item: Brilhado Feathers
    Item Location: Deep Lake
    Image Link: LINK
    Reason to choose the item: You might be starting to notice a pattern with my choices. Brilhado feathers is another item with already broadly acceptable art that could do with a minor facelift and applying to a new item. You could also rework it in a slightly more intense way - perhaps a storm of feathers broadly similar to the 'Flutterfree' spell of Prismheart Tome.

    Item: Arrows of Virtue
    Item Location: The beginning of the end
    Image Link: LINK
    Reason to choose the item: Yet another item that only needs relatively minor art changes. It perfectly fits the idea of providing art for a separate item, given that the alignment effect of this spell is long deprecated.


    Item: Vile Shadow
    Item Location: The beginning of the end
    Image Link: LINK
    Reason to choose the item: Effectively the same reasons as Arrows of Virtue

    With the spells I mention above, they could also be included as armour skills rather than standalone items.



    KhalJJ -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (9/24/2024 7:11:26)

    Seconding all of Zeldax's, and Chaotic's suggestions, and adding:

    Item: Beautiful Oblivion
    Item location: Z-token shop
    Image link: I cannot find the original image, but current: https://media.artix.com/encyc/AQ/AQPedia/Weapons/BOblivion.jpg
    Reason to choose the item: This originally lived up to its name, and at some point was changed. It looked fantastic and would stand up today. Would be happy even bringing back the old art!

    Item: Dragon King's Axe/Form
    Item location: Dragon King, Part 2, Dragonspine
    Image link: https://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z240/nmehta3/Dragonkingaxe.png and https://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w231/Windy_7/Pedia%20Screenshots/DragonKingsForm.jpg
    Reason to choose the item: Recognise this may be ineligible, being very story relevant, but this was such an iconic weapon, with the art playing a huge part in this.

    *edit:

    Item: Cyber Rex Rider
    Item location: Aria's Pet Shop
    Image link: https://i199.photobucket.com/albums/aa80/devbhargava/Cyber-Rex.png
    Reason to choose the item: This has so much potential, is very AQ, and is in the sweet spot of old enough that new art could be awesome but not so old that you don't have much to work with. This was also a fantastic armor when it first arrived, but lack of top-level options and being outdated obviously hurt it today.



    Bolter -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (10/8/2024 12:14:52)

    Item: Fire Blade
    Location : Shop at Yulgar's Inn
    Image: Fire Blade, I can't find an image of the old fire blade
    Reason: I just thought that this would be a cool item to update with the flaming blade similar to Reign/Overlord's Swords

    Item: Tsunami Edge
    Location : Yulgar's Intermediate Shops
    Image: Tsunami Edge, Old Image is linked to it
    Reason: This was a very cool weapon that I believe was pretty popular back in the days therefore I believe it deserves an update, with the secondary effect of it's special being changed to drowning.

    Item: Scurvy Dog's Cutlass, Vile Cutthroat's Cutlass, Dread Pirate's Cutlass
    Location: Yulgar's Beginner Shop, Pirate Class
    Image: Cutlass
    Reason: I think the art of this weapon at the moment is good enough, can be updated further if need be, but not necessary in my opinion, just needs to be updated to standard with higher level versions

    Item: Old/Modern ChronoBlades
    Location: Z-Token Weapon Shop, Prologue: Paxia Special Mission
    Image: Old Chrono Blade, Modern Chrono Blade
    Reason: This might be a big ask since it's actually 2 (or maybe 4) different weapons altogether, but these weapons in my opinion do not need an art update, they are nice enough as they are, they just need to be updated to standard with higher level versions. What I would request though is to have all 4 versions(Light Old, Dark Old, Fire Modern, Wind Modern) to all be MRM toggle(non-100 proc in all 3 attack modes) and to also retain their paralyzing specials(cos that's what makes them unique) albeit now their special rates should be a flat 20% on all versions with an update to their paralyzing abilities.



    Lorekeeper -> RE: Item ART REFRESH Requests (10/12/2024 14:11:28)

    As a reminder, folks, please read the first post of the feedback threads before you reply. This isn't a thread to ask for items to be mechanically updated if you think their art holds up.
