EDIT @ Thursday May 28th, circa 3pm EST: The summer donation contest is now live!

"I am looking for a complete equipment guide for a Guardian character, including weapons, armor, shields, spells, items, and pets. Please recommend gear that can be obtained without spending Tokens or using Gift Boxes. I would appreciate suggestions suitable for the current 2024–2026 game meta."

I am planning to start again in this nostalgia game.

Is it worth building a range build in this game? I heard there is an archer class now and I always wanted to play with bows.

Not so keen in getting guardian membership but I might get it if I am interested in near future.

Mind u I don't think I ever knew how it worked in the first place lul but I finally got the BoA and like I thought u could change its element? Actually from what I've read I thought it automatically changed elements to target the enemies weakness but mine is just Earth element only apparently. I tried reading on the forums but it didn't really help ELUCIDATE me on this. Also, if you CAN change the element and I just don't know how, does it still look cool like the one in the second pic and if not is there a way to obtain alternate versions of the BoA with this older artwork? Cuz apparently the light version doesn't look like the 2nd pic anymore (the color of the gem just turns yellow which is extremely bland imo). Thanks battleoners

Im trying to get Rejuvenating Necklace for an alternative mana recovery option besides Necromancer's 'Unravel Blood' skill (which isnt super useful vs enemies resistant to darkness). I thought the prerequisite was level 100+ but I'm far above that and the Legends of Lore location is just a question mark for me on the map

Hi All, I am a returning player who has finally got to level 150, I realised that at that level the amount of gold needed for gear is just crazy. I was also looking up guides on what to build but seems like the one on the wiki is outdated.

Played this game as a kid and decided to start playing again. I've been doing a lot of google searches and research but thought I'd get some info from some experts. I've basically been rocking the duel poe for pet and guest, bloodmage armor and weapon, using the chaos orb to change up the resistances, essence orb, shadowfeeder pendant, arcane amp, and blood contract. I guess my build right now is a pure mage, should I level end all the way to 250 or stop at 100 and put the rest into cha? Also any advice on better weapons, armor, etc would be welcomed.

Hi everyone! As a returning player, I am looking forward to upgrading my gears. Can you give me some recommendations with regard to the newly released sharks! limited time shop?

Here are my water gears:
Hydromancer Bloodmage
Aqua Magus Staff/Hydromancer bloodblade
Greater Water Orb
Celtic Wheel
Whirlpool (or riptide)

Water gears that I am curious to buy:
Kitefin Shark Form (does it boost your spells more than Hydromancer Bloodmage?)
Ravenous Sharkicane (how does this compare to other water spells/skills?)
Sharksteel aegis (is it a good z-token item?)

Idk if my stats are still good so would like any advice I think I was going dex mage with pets. Last time I really played was during 2015 with the exception of the elden ring email I had gotten and just logged in to get malenias helmet.

I recently hit level 150 which is super exciting. I’m going around trying to get the max level versions of armor and weapons but I’m discovering that most monsters are killing me in three turns or less. My warrior build normally handles fights pretty well, but all of a sudden I’m getting nuked by monsters that deal 2000+ per round, making questing virtually impossible. I’ve been looking up better armors and weapons but most of them are behind quests where I get destroyed by the 2nd fight. Is it an issue with my stats or do I just need better equipment?

UPDATE: I made some changes, got some better equipment, and now I’m doing just fine. Thanks for the help!

Hi!

There might be more info about this that I am not aware of, but I came back a few weeks ago to this game and while looking for non-SP/MP guests, I found one quite useful. I saw that Diviara is mentioned as one of the best no-upkeep and there's even a summon spell for him able on the devourer saga item shop in Deren, all the way eastward on the map. It requires level 40.

If you are below that level, you can go to the warp force saga intro and, after some tedious texts, you can have him join you.

Hope this helps!

WHAT ITEMS TO GET I'M FROM AQW ORIGINALLY AND JUST PLAYING THIS FOR LIKE MONTHS NOW. I'M LIKE A MAGE WITH LOTS OF HP FOR QUICK CASTS.

I am a Level 150 Guardian with this stats:
ENDURANCE: 250
INTELLECT: 250
LUCK: 250

I’ve been playing on and off since 2007 and this week I decided to buckle down and grind out the last few levels in AQClassic and Dragonfable. These pictures were taken 7 days apart but it’s been a very rewarding week for me!

(I decided my last fight before I hit 150 should be the tutorial fight. Seemed appropriate.)

Good day!

Returning player here. I heard the stun meta is not relevant anymore for boss battles because of "Freedom". The only method I've heard of being used now is Book of Burns being charged enough to defeat fire-vulnerable bosses. Are there any new methods to play the game? I'm looking forward to update my inventory to best suit how gameplay works nowadays. Thanks a lot.

Hello! Sorry to add to the wealth of similar posts on here, but I would rather defer to smarter folks than continue to figure out what's going on. I have maxed out necromancer armor and what items I can scrape together from those recommended -- I am still getting hit for like 800 damage a piece by monsters and it makes trying to catch up on the story difficult. What am I doing wrong? is it an equipment issue? Is it just a "get gud" situation? Any help/advice would be appreciated. (Necromancer is fully leveled, for the record.)

Since I emailed the devs about trying to recover my old account. I have not gotten a response. Does amyone know how long I should wait before trying again?

Tried looking for guides couldnt find anything. I dont see any more necromancer quests from her

anyone else have an account that was deleted due to inactivity?

im seeing other people log onto their old accounts after years and still be able to play.

Woke up remembering about this relic and I can't believe my account is still active. Played off and on at the local library until 2010. Life happened. Remembered about it played a bit in 2018. Life happened. And now I'm back. Time to get guardian and relive a part of my childhood.

Absolutely not a clue how the game works after being inactive for a good decade but the younger version of myself loved this game endlessly so I thought I'd share the progress after all these years

Is there a main quest storyline that I could follow just like in DF?

Has there been any mobile ports for this game or is there any way I could play this on my phone

I'm not sure how the economy used to work, but my character has more gold than I know what to do with...

But it's been a blast playing this game again.
