Starless Night: A Cold Open
Hey there, heroes!

On a quiet winter's night, the sky is clear, and perfect for stargazing. Grab your dragon and your telescope, and get out there!

All's well and quiet, but, is it just me or is it getting colder? And... are there fewer stars in the sky than before?

An unnatural freeze is setting in, fast. What could be going on?

This month's Frostval quests are a post-Book 3 crossover with AdventureQuest Worlds, written by Cylisse! Although you don't need to have beaten Book 3 to play this release, there will be spoilers, so be careful!

It's time for A Cold Open! Check it out in the Book of Lore!


Also this week, a new cosmetic item is available for Dragon Coins!

The Warpfire RiftHelm was forged by Atealan smiths alongside the gnomes after Wargoth's defeat. Very few were ever crafted, but now, it can be yours for 400 Dragon Coins from the Dragon Coin Cosmetics shop!


Also this week, we have a couple of minor updates and tweaks!
  • DoomKnight V2 has had some of its tooltips fixed/adjusted.
  • Entropy now has updated tooltips and effect descriptions.
  • Entropy's Fever Spit and Infect now additionally apply -Poison and -Disease resistance alongside -Darkness.
  • Entropy's DoT effects have had their base damage increased, but no longer have additional stat damage.
  • DoomKnight V2 and Entropy now dynamically update their MP costs after you level up.
  • Anything else I may have forgotten.

And that's all for this week!

This is one crossover that I didn't expect. While I haven't played aqw in like... a decade already (wow), even a recluse like me have heard about the Darkon saga and how paramount Cylisse was in making that masterpiece, as well as so many banger storylines aqw players have been enjoying nowadays. Given how great post-book 3 quests written by Lorekeeper were, I only have high hopes for the Frostval miracle we have this year!

I hope Kezeroth gets a proper DragonFable model next week or so. The AQW style tends to clash with DF's style, I think, since AQW characters are constantly at a three quarters angle and DF characters are just side profiling.

I'm glad DF and AQW are doing this crossover, hopefully it encourages more AQW players to try out DF. I'm also excited to see the DF take on such an iconic boss, and I think a seasonal event is a perfect time to do a narrative style departure like this. It's not much of a style departure on AQW's side of things, from what I remember they use the third-person more often, but it was still nice seeing the extra character dialogue relating to DF in their quest.

Looking forward to the next release from both teams.
