Return to Dwarfhold on Artix Entertainment

New Gear + Polish Updates added to Dwarfhold

This weekend, the miners of Dwarfhold Keep (and their gems) get a polish update! We streamlined the flow of the storyline quests, added explanations and changed how some of the "invisible quests" were set-up to make it easier for new players to progress through the zone. We've also added quests and rewards for all you experienced heroes to enjoy!

This weekend, /join dwarfhold to check out the additions:

Updated NPC art, improved quest flow across the entire Dwarfhold Saga
Bro Nez and Ty Tanium NPCs + new farming reward quests
Shiny new gear for new and experienced heroes alike!

And don't miss the rest of this month's update. See the full release lineup here: AdventureQuest Worlds calendar.

These New Sets Will be Mine(d)!

Talk to Bro Nez and Ty Tanium in /dwarfhold. These dwarven Prospectors have new quests for all heroes, and gear you can create... if you work hard enough. Plus, a new set just for high-level heroes with gold to spare.

Dwarfhold Merge Shop

If a Dwarfhold Prospector is respected enough to wear gold, then they have enough experience to appraise gems by feeling in the dark alone. The googles are more for eye protection than magnifying what's in their sight.

Blood Ancient Class Update

In addition to our Dwarfhold improvements, we updated the Blood Ancient Class skills, added the armor, and revised the quests for members that haven't completed them yet.

Blood Ancient Revisions

Blood Ancient, one of our member-only classes, has been completely reworked into a mid to late-game dodge class that utilizes the HP bar in order to strengthen itself.

The original version of Blood Ancient didn't fill any particular roles, nor did it feel like it was embodying the strength of multiple vampire warlords. Therefore, the Blood Ancient rework aims to bring a fresh take to dodge classes, while also giving it a more vampire-like feel.

Farming Method Changed

To reflect Blood Ancient's new power level, the latter half of the Blood Ancient farming quests have been updated and the quest line now has a level 50 requirement to begin it. The class now also only requires x1 Ancient Vitae to merge it instead of 25. Finally, like previous reworks, anyone who already has the class gets to keep it with its new skills!
