Chaos Kraken Battle!Now They're Letting Moglins Write Releases?This is an exciting release for me, you guys, because it is the first one I've designed myself! As you may or may not know, I've been working on art for AQWorlds for about a year. A couple of months ago, I started writing some quests, too. And now, this week, I get to inflict upon you all an entire release. Just a small one, though - I'm dipping one paw in at a time here.Here's What's Happening!
Tying in to last week's Friday the 13th
release, Legends will be able to go back to Skull Punch Island for a new
challenge boss, the Chaos Kraken!
Ain't he purty?
Your guide for this release is Gustav duGrog, a pirate merchant sailor who washed ashore on Skull Punch Island after his pirate ship
totally legit cargo vessel was sunk by a chaorrupted kraken! He'll need
your help to find the precious cargo his ship was carrying, and take
revenge on the monstrous beast that destroyed his ship and possibly ate
his captain.
Kraken Boss Gear & Merge Shop!
There's plenty of cool new gear that drops
from the Chaos Kraken, and even more that you can get from Gustav's
merge shop! We've got both Legend and non-Legend items in this release,
so you can keep wearing your cool new stuff after your membership runs
out.
Just a sampling from the kraken hoard that awaits you!
Boss Drops:
Naval Top Hats!By popular request, when you /join skullpunch, a special naval top hat merge shop will be available for ALL players from the event menu! There's a tophat to match every Naval Commander set, past and present. Well, actually there are several. Here are some of the available variants, all by the talented Roroth:Also: top hats with beards! To get them, get Top Hat and Legend Top Hat drops from vampirates, fishbones, Von Poach, or the Chaos Kraken. Then, buy special merge resource shop items items (for 10,000 gold) to customize your top hat! Naval-themed hats tagged "13" will be back next year, but any items without the year tag will go rare! Wheel Of Destiny
As frequent readers of the Design Notes know, we've also added the Wheel of Destiny to the /wheel map. You can also /join destiny to go directly to the new wheel... or /join doom to go to the normal, much-DOOMIER wheel!
Swaggy's brother, Shiny! Can't you see the family resemblance?
Right now, both wheels have the same gear
in them, but wheel-specific items will be added to both the Wheel of
Doom and the Wheel of Destiny in the near future. Next week, we'll be
adding some limited-time high-drop rate items to both wheels, so keep an
eye out!
Shiny! The swords, I mean. Not the moglin.
There is already one difference in the merge shops! We've added the
Skull & Bones blade to the Wheel of Doom merge shop, and the Ancient
Skull & Bones blade to the Wheel of Destiny's shop. Both of these
items leave at the end of September, so you'll want to turn in your
potions soon!Please note that the Doom Strength Draught has been renamed to Fortune Potion. Don't freak out when you see these in your bags! Don't Forget!

Gothic Pirate Captain Set!Everyone's favorite Gothic Pirate Captain, Voltaire, guest starred in our Friday the 13th: Curse of the Vampirates event last week! In honor of our latest, spookiest, most piratical Friday the 13th yet, we've themed this year's Pirate Captain on Voltaire's NPC!
Wheel of Destiny Arrives Friday!Fate, fortune, luck, and doom all play a part in every battle in AQWorlds... but sometimes, a hero wants to look on the bright side of a coin toss. That's why Shiny, the Moglin of Desires, has built his own version of the Wheel of Doom!Choose which Wheel to spin - Doom OR Destiny - because both your single and stacks of tickets will work for both! Legends get 1 free spin on the Wheel each day, but will need to choose whether to use it on the Wheel of Doom OR the Wheel of Destiny!
Available in both Wheel merge shop until September 31st!
Each Wheel has the same prizes, merge shop, and drop rates. But if
you prefer to hope in bright surroundings rather than dream in a room
filled with doom, then /join Destiny this Friday! If you /join doom NOW,
you'll find both the "Skull and Bones Blad" and the "Ancient Skull and
Bones Blade" in the merge shop until September 30th!Chika's Sakura Birthday Shop!If you follow Artix, Cysero, or my Twitter account, you'll see us talking to our friend Tom, who lives in Japan and often sends us mounds of epic goodies! Today, he and his wife, Chika, were at the Lab visiting from overseas!We had a special surprise for Chika: not only did we have a birthday shop full of sweet Sakura-themed gear, but we let her roll the release live! (After warning her NOT to push the BIG RED BUTTON that shuts all the servers down without warning) Chika's Sakura Shop contains:
Friday: You'll be Kraken Like a Boss!Legends can battle their way to the watery home of the Chaos Kraken in Bonebreak Deep to retrieve the incredibly valuable treasure stolen from Gustav duGrog! Fair warning: this challenge fight is one you'll want to dive into with an entire party!All players can take on monsters in the Skullpunch map to get resources to create 1 of over 40 Naval-themed tophats! These top hats are available to ALL players, though Legend versions will have an extra bonus to undead monsters!
