AdventureQuest (also referred to by its website name BattleOn or simply as AQ) is an online single-player RPG developed by Artix Entertainment in 2002. It is implemented in Flash and uses anime-style graphics, some of which are animated. Guardians may also play ArchKnight, another Artix Entertainment game set a year before AdventureQuest, although it is discontinued. A third Artix Entertainment game, DragonFable, is set 5 years before AdventureQuest. A third spinoff is called MechQuest, set 5000 years in the past; the main question driving its plot is "What could cause a highly advanced civilization to fall into medieval times?" The Gamma release for MechQuest on October 1. All four of these games are set in Lore, a world whose name is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the game's original title Lands Of Rising Evil, although the acronym no longer carries any notable meaning in game.

Gameplay Much of AdventureQuest's game play revolves around fighting monsters. On the players turn they may attack, equip a weapon shield or armour, drink a potion, cast a spell, call a pet or equip a misscellaneous item. Changing armour, weapon or shield does not use up a turn but equipping an item, changing pets or drinking a potion does. On an opponents's turn it may attack, though some monsters have special attacks such as healing. Pack monsters and a few other monsters can summon reinforcements, which doesn't take up a turn.
Combat mechanics
A battle in AdventureQuest.
A battle with The Reaper in AdventureQuest. The most basic fights are started through random encounters (by clicking the "Battle Monsters" button), and after winning such fights, characters return to Battleon and can be fully healed by an NPC.

Several things can affect the outcome of a battle. Both characters and monsters have a "defense modifier" for each of the eight elements; a higher defense modifier means an attack of that element does more damage. There is also a defense modifier for each of the three methods of attacks: melee, ranged and magic; a lower number means greater vulnerability to that method of attack. Players can change their character's weapon, shield and armor according to the monster's defense modifiers. Also, some of the stronger bosses have defence modifiers to the Void element.
Six stats affect the amount of damage inflicted and taken, as well as the probability of an attack being resisted. In addition, pets and guests assist the character in doing extra damage. Strategic use of spells and items will give a character an advantage in combat. The combat system also uses luck as you attack a random number based on your weapon and stats.
Once a monster's HP drops below zero, the monster dies, and the character is awarded with experience and gold. Sometimes, they will also be rewarded with Z-Tokens. If a monster is a pack type (Junior Zard Pack, Orc Horde, Undead War Party, etc.), sometimes they may summon reinforcements until they run out. Most pack monsters have a pre-determined amount of reinforcements, and will not die until all of them are killed. If a character's HP drops below zero, the character dies, and has to speak to the The Reaper to return to town without any penalties. The death is saved in the game's database.
Players may also inflict status effects on monsters such as Freezing and Paralysis using different weapons and other methods.
The Elements
Symbol representing Void. While there are 8 primary elements (Earth, Wind, Water, Energy, Ice, Fire, Light, and Darkness.), there exists also an Void, previously known as Element X.. Some weapons, when triggered, deal Void damage (such as the Dragon Blade), or in their special attacks (such as the Gauntlet of The'Galin), the vast majority of monsters in the game have a Void resistance of 100%; however, there are handful that have a lower modifier. Its symbol is a question mark. Blablablablablablablabla. Oh,sorry. I like pie! Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Guests and Pets
 The position in which battles take place, including guests. Pets are the second party member a player can have. Pets are obtained by buying them from shops, except for Cudgel, who joins you temporarily during the Drakel vs. Elf saga. Pets can cause status effects like Paralysis, can attack, and some can heal you such as the Fairy Godmother. Pets do not always attack though. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
Guests are the third party member a player can have. Guests are obtained during quests, wars, and can be summoned using Summon Spells, completing the "beasts of legend" challenge in the guardian tower and class skills. Some guests can inflict status effects, and a few can even trigger against some enemies. Guests attack rates are also affected by Charisma. The player attacks first, then the guest, then the pet.
Stats Characters have six statistics which affect their success in combat: - Strength (STR) increases the random damage of melee and ranged attacks, and the accuracy of melee attacks.
- Dexterity (DEX) increases the random damage of melee and ranged attacks, the accuracy of all types of attacks, and the ability to block attacks.
- Intellect (INT) increases the random damage of magic attacks, the accuracy of magic attacks, and the character's maximum MP.
- Endurance (END) increases the character's maximum HP.
- Charisma (CHA) increases the damage and attack frequency of pets and guests.
- Luck (LUK) increases a character's chance of going first in a battle, finding a treasure chest, and dodging monster attacks, as well as affecting accuracy for all attack types, though it does not affect them as much as the other stats.
When characters level up, they are given 5 stat points. They may use these stat points to train their stats by paying a stat trainer and defeating them in combat.
There are three different stat trainers in the game. The first is Sir Lanceler. Sir Lanceler can increase all six stats but to a max of 75 points for each stat. Neberon the Mage can train you in intellect, charisma, and Luck. Grimweld the Warrior can train you in strength, dexterity, and endurance. Both Neberon and Grimweld can train each stat to a max of 200 points each. To get to these three trainers, click on Twilly in Battleon (the town your in when you log in). After you click on Twilly, click on "Hello!", then "Visit the Stat Trainers", then "Let's train!".
If a player regrets training a stat, they may un-train their character's stats by doing the "Death's Domain" quest and losing to Sir Pwnsalot in combat. However, the money spent in training the stat will not be refunded and therefore will be lost forever. Once Pwnsalot is found, Guardians and X-Guardians may visit him freely in the Guardian Tower by selecting the Un-Trainer in the teleporter room.
Subraces In AdventureQuest, players may visit the ruler of a subrace to become part of it. Once a player has become a subrace, it can be removed (if desired) by using the quest "The Cure" in Darkrovia. The subraces are:
 Safiria, Queen of the vampires. - Vampire - Visit Queen Safiria in the Vampire's castle to gain this subrace. The guest is a Vampire Firebat. Vampires can Steal HP. The only way to cure your avatar of vampirism is to seek out a remedy in Darkovia, near the Vampire Castle, you may also fight her in Epic Quest 14 by clicking right until you see two doors, click the one on the right, you must fail the DEX Stat Roll to fight her.
- Werewolf - Visit the Werewolf King in the Werewolf Lair to gain this subrace. The guest is the Brightwolf. Werewolves can regenerate HP. It is also possible to be a temporary werewolf. When fighting a werewolf (not a werewolf warrior or alpha werewolf), the notice Lycanthropy may come up. The players default armour is changed to Werewolf, and normal mechanics take over, as if the player was a Werewolf.
- WerePyre - Race is rewarded for completing the The Secret quest in Darkovia Forest, the conclusion allowing the player to either become a Werepyre or fight Wolfwing, the ruler of Werepyres. (The battle being fixed against the player.) Werepyres do not have any of the special benefits of Vampires or Werewolves, such as a special guest, although have a higher chance of performing a special attack. This race is only for Guardians and X-Guardians.
Subraces also exist that are unavailable to player characters at this time, such as DracoWolves and DracoVamps, whose leader is Nightbane. In early 2007, there was war between Wolfwing and Nightbane which Nightbane eventually won. Whether DracoWolves and DracoVamps will become available as an additional subrace for player characters is unknown at this time. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Each SubRace has its own armor (Vamp, Lycan, and WerePyre Form respectively), which occasionaly grants the player a more powerful attack, the chance of which increasing whith the amount of quests done for the subrace ruler, to a maximum of 10 quests. (This is not avaliable to Werepyres.)
Clans In AdventureQuest, players may join a Clan on the island of Paxia, and participate in Clan activities such as wars and challenges.
Joining a Clan
There are 8 clans to join, and each is one of the 8 elements. The current clans are Geoto, Aerodu, Nautica, Dynami, Igneus, Glacius, Lucian, and Nocturu . To join, you simply enter Paxia, then click on the location of a clan's base. Then, speak to the leader, and ask to join. They will add you to their ranks. As long as there are no clan wars going on, you may join. If you are not in a clan during a clan war, you will have to wait until the war ends to join.
 The 8 clan leaders, Paxus and Negatus, Paxia on the Travel Map and Paxus Arena. Monolith Island Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Once you have joined a clan, if no clan wars are currently taking place, you may leave the clan by speaking with the Negatus Statue on Monolith Island, which is off the shore of Paxia. Also on Monolith Island is Paxus, who tells you about the 8 Paxian clans and how they were created.
Clan mechanics
If you have joined a clan, you may enter their base. Every clan has its own shop which sells items of a particular element, and sometimes armor and weapons of the clan. Some items are stronger when used by a member of that clan, such as the Gong of the Wind series of Pets.
Clan wars and challenges
Every so often, Paxia has challenges and wars. During these wars, players will fight random battles against opposing forces on Paxia, battling things such as Airships and other clan members in PvP and can repair their bases to help keep ahead in the war. Eventually, the clans with the best health at the end of the war is awarded war spoils.
Challenges are given by Paxus, and happen in his personal arena which floats above Paxia. They can vary from guessing things to winning battles and so forth. Clans with the highest score gain prizes for this.
These challenges are done in the Octo-Paxi Arena which is the on a little island on the south of Paxia. Most of the time it is a question mark because there aren't any current events. The latest event was the "Chaos among the Clans" event.
Shops and equipment There are six types of equipment which increase a character's effectiveness in combat: Image File history File links Shop. ...
Image File history File links Shop. ...
- Weapons are used to deal damage with the "Attack" command. Many have triggers, which activate on monsters of a certain type, causing the weapon to either deal more damage, seek the monster's weakness, weaken a monster, or so on. Also, many weapons have special attacks which will hit harder than the normal attack. This is usually frowned upon by higher levels who wish to utilize the full power of their multi-hit armors. They are classified to eight groups fire, water, wind, ice, earth, energy, light, and darkness
- Shields affect a character's defense modifiers. Some have rewind abilities, which can heal you once. Some also have a trigger, which gives you an attack boost when you are fighting a certain type of monster.
- Armor, like shields, affect a character's defense modifier and also can give extra attacks. Some armors allow the use of class skills or subrace attacks, which get added to with each level of class/subrace.
- Spells are an alternative method of attack, can summon things, and a few can heal.
- Pets offer a bonus attack(s), or may do other things such as heal or cause status effects.
- Miscellaneous can offer defenses against any kind of attack, a temporary stat boost, or extra attack power when attacking with certain elements. Miscellaneous items must be activated before their effects happen. This might take up some MP and/or a turn. Muse type miscellaneous items unlock music. It also includes potions, which heal MP and HP. However, potions take up their own slot in the misc menu, without taking space from accessories.
AdventureQuest has many shops where players may purchase equipment using gold. Every piece of equipment has a level requirement which the character must meet to be able to buy it. If a player regrets buying any equipment, they may sell the equipment at a loss. A character may hold up to eight of each type of equipment at a time in battle, while they may purchase storage space with Z-Tokens to hold items outside of battle. Most equipment specializes in one of the eight elements (fire, ice, water, wind, earth, energy, light and darkness), but some specialize in more than one element or have no element at all.
Lore AdventureQuest takes place on the planet of Lore. It consists of 5 major continents, and 2 uninhabited continents.

Battleonia - The largest continent of Lore. It is located North West on the map. DragonFable currently takes place only on this continent. Also the location of Battleon.
Middle Isles - Islands located under the farthest west portion of Battleonia. The main island is connected to Battleonia by bridge, whereas the other islands are clustered near the bottom of the main island and extend some ways south. Isle D'Oriens floats in the sky off the northern coastline.
Vandar - Farthest North East continent on Lore. Currently has not been visited ingame, but can be seen in the opening cutscene of MechQuest. Vandar is the homeland of a near completely mammalian species of drakel, as well as Darin. It is also home to "type 4" lycans, which "could turn an entire village into type 4 in two weeks" with a single "sneeze in a crowded marketplace".
Neld - Currently has not been visited ingame, but is seen during the beacon sequence on Isle D'Oriens. Located between the Middle Isles and Deren's North West coast. It is sparsely populated.
Deren - Farthest South East continent. Ruled by King Tralin, and home to the Brilhado. The Temple of Hope is located here. Was the main location of the War for the Creation Orb event. Fairly large.
Inilar - Farthest South West continent. Currently has not been visited ingame, but can be seen in several cutscenes. It is classified as an "Unexplored Waste".
Tjeli - Farthest Southern continent. Currently has not been visited ingame. Classified as an "Ice Waste", Tjeli was attached to Inilar when The'Galin was human, and it was where he lived.
Quests, events and challenges Besides random encounters, players can embark on quests. Quests are generally more challenging than random encounters because the character has to fight several monsters, and usually is not given the opportunity to heal in between battles. Some quests entail additional challenges, such as rolling a die and continuing only if a high number is rolled.
Many quests are started by speaking to non-player characters or exploring regions on the map. Events are quests which are available for a limited period of time. There are annual events during AdventureQuest "holidays" such as Mogloween and Frostval, and one-time events, such as wars. In challenges, characters have to defeat as many monsters as possible, but unlike quests, there is no reward or storyline. Some challenges like the Water Battle Chamber and the Haunted House have bosses though.
Guardianship Guardianship is a "premium" version of AdventureQuest, which players can buy for a one-time fee. As AdventureQuest has grown, Artix Entertainment has raised the fee several times; as of 22 October 2006, Guardianship costs $12.00, which can be paid for using credit card, PayPal, or PayByCash. Players who have bought this premium version are called "Guardians," while those playing the free version are called "Adventurers." Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

This premium version offers players many benefits. It grants access to additional quests, events, wars and locations. Many weapons, armors, shields, pets and other items in the game are only available to Guardians. Besides starting with two health and mana potions (instead of one of each type for Adventurers), as well as being able to receive 400 potions at strategic points during quests from a potion bag. Guardians also have more powerful starting weapons, and can train up to level 10 in each class (instead of 5 for Adventurers). In addition, they can log in at any time, despite the server cap which limits the number of Adventurers that may play simultaneously.[1]
Z-Tokens Introduced in June 2006 to replace the former system of donating money for items, Z-Tokens (Zard Tokens) are rare coins in AdventureQuest, which players (both Adventurers and Guardians) will occasionally find after winning battles. Guardians may also purchase Z-Tokens with real money, with various exchange rates: Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...
2000 Z-Tokens for $1.00
5000 Z-Tokens for $2.00
7500 Z-Tokens for $3.00
10000 Z-Tokens for $4.00
15000 Z-Tokens for $5.00
Players may use Z-Tokens to buy shields, armour, and weapons - these combat items, tend to be more powerful than normal items, and can be bought with a much lower, reletive level. Other things you can buy include; player-owned housing, guards for that housing, and pets which are generally more powerful than those bought with in-game gold. They may also purchase inventory slots with Z-Tokens (at the rate of 200 Z-Tokens per slot), or trade them for in-game gold.[2]
Newest Additions to the Game A self killing spell has been added to the game, allowing players to quest to find monsters to die into. After they have defeated the monster, that monster is added to the spell.
 Calladus The Dragon Master is just one of the forms players can die into using the self killing spell The Berserker Class has also recently been added, along with new quests, monsters, and pets. The game is constantly improving and has new features added to it almost constantly. The graphics also get better with each update, improving the playability of the game for people who are used to high-resolution games. Many older monsters have gotten makeovers to make them seem more three dimensional, and armors have been added that can be male or female.

While the game is being updated regularly and is played by millions of people, some people still feel the need to criticize the game.
Criticism
Server cap There is a limit on the number of free players which can play simultaneously. The limit was fixed at 4,000 during the early days of AdventureQuest, but it currently fluctuates from 7,000 to 30,000 according to time of day and server load. Once the limit is reached, only Guardians may log in, until sufficient players log out or the limit increases.
 Overloaded servers are a problem with AdventureQuest Because of the server cap, it can be difficult for free players to log in, especially because the server limit may occasionally decrease by nearly 50%, and all the available slots are usually taken moments after the server limit is increased. Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (1024x715, 116 KB) Summary This is a screenshot of the online game AdventureQuest (http://aq. ...
Image File history File links Download high-resolution version (1024x715, 116 KB) Summary This is a screenshot of the online game AdventureQuest (http://aq. ...
Free players have tried various means to bypass the server cap. A web browser script that would immediately log a player in once it detected an available slot on the server was once available. In the past, there have been bugs which could be exploited by free players bypass the server cap, but these bugs have been fixed. Some fan sites offer server stats to give players a good idea of when to log in. Some free players, after successfully logging in, leave their computer on continuously to stay logged in.
Free accounts start out with 25 free logins that are used once every time that account logs into the game. AdventureQuest provides a survey that upon completion grants users another 24 hours of unlimited free logins.[3] Additionally, after confirming the account's e-mail address, they get 48 hours of unlimited free login time, to help them become familiar with the game. After all free logins are used up and the server cap hinders logging in, it is suggested by staff to play another game while waiting or pay to continue playing. [citation needed]
Artix Entertainment defends the server cap as a way of controlling server load and covering the cost of running the game.[4] AdventureQuest recently introduced sponsored advertising to allow more servers to be purchased. The advertising is limited to a row of icons on the side of the homepage as to not interfere with the game. Advert redirects here. ...
Lack of free content Most of the content, quests and updates are only available to Guardians; therefore, the free version of AdventureQuest is very limited. Some updates, such as X-Guardianship and Z-Tokens, entirely focus on new ways to pay for in-game content. The constant reminders to buy Guardianship are often perceived as a form of nagware, and these, combined with the server cap, lead some to perceive the free version of AdventureQuest as a free demo, instead of a free web RPG as advertised. Nagware is a term of distinction used to differentiate between types of shareware software. ...
Demo disc released with a magazine. ...
Recently, though, there have been less and less Guardian-Only events and wars.
Monotony and lack of features AdventureQuest has been criticised for its repetitive gameplay, which primarily consists of killing monsters to gain experience and gold. There is little strategy involved in winning battles, and training takes a long time, often requiring the player to repeat tedious tasks. Grinding is a pejorative term used in computer gaming to describe the process of engaging in repetitive and/or non-entertaining gameplay in order to gain access to other features within the game. ...
In addition, AdventureQuest has also been criticised for lacking basic features present in other RPGs. Artix Entertainment rebuts by reminding players that AdventureQuest is still in the testing stage and thus lacks many features, and that the game has weekly updates and is ever-changing. Originally intended to be a simple, single-player RPG, AdventureQuest has grown much faster than Artix anticipated, and rewriting the game engine to add extra features is not feasible. Computer role-playing games (CRPGs), often shortened to simply role-playing games (RPGs), are a type of video or computer game that traditionally use gameplay elements found in paper-and-pencil role-playing games. ...
Lack of in-game interaction Being a single-player game, AdventureQuest provides no means of in-game interaction between players. This has been cited as a reason for its small market share in the online RPG genre. Several commonly-requested in-game interaction features, which Artix Entertainment has repeatedly stated will not be implemented, include: This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
- Battles between players. Some high-leveled players find the monsters too easy, boring or tedious, and wish to challenge other players. DragonFable has a system which allows one to challenge other players by traveling to the Aeris Battlespire PVP arena
- Item trading. In the past, players were able to trade items with the approval of a staff member, but this feature was removed because the staff could not handle the backlog of requests.
- In-game messaging and friends/block lists. The forums are an avenue for players to meet and interact with other players, but players must register for a forum account.
AdventureQuest only allows players to interact with NPCs using pre-typed choices, i.e. ???, ... or What!?!? This article is about multiplayer computer role-playing games. ...
It has been suggested that Commerce be merged into this article or section. ...
X-Guardian Boost and Z-Tokens The introduction of the X-Guardian Boost and Z-Tokens have been met with some controversy. The X-Boost has been criticized for offering numerical benefits (such as 9999999mil gold, 1000000 Z-Tokens and 50% more XP per battle) instead of useful features. Some regard the X-Boost and Z-Tokens as marketing ploys by Artix Entertainment to convince players to pay for in-game benefits. It should be noted that Z-Tokens are available to Adventurers via random monster battles, though it is in minimal amounts (2-9) and with a relatively low chance each fight. This has been slightly alleviated recently with the house system which allows purchase of a house that grows in Z-Token resale value over time allowing you to gain interest on your Z-Tokens even as a free player. Some say you can hack battleon by logging out and then refresh 10 times and you login and come up with 100000000mil
