Ninja Saga Beginners

Ninja Saga Beginning
Getting started – At the start of the game, you’ll need to create and customize your Ninja Saga character. Then you’ll be walked through a tutorial that shows you how to battle and explains some of the most important aspects of the game. Once you are finished with the tutorial, you can begin accepting missions towards leveling and upon reaching level five, you’ll be able to enter Ninja Saga battles.
Practicing your moves – In the beginning of Ninja Saga, you’ll have the option of practicing your moves and familiarizing yourself with various fighting techniques. When this option appears, accept it so you can learn how to fight correctly.
Gold versus Saga Tokens – Gold and Saga Tokens are used to purchase Ninja Saga items in the game. Gold is earned when you win battles, complete missions, exchange Saga Tokens, and participate in daily spins. Saga Tokens are only gained by completing offers or paying for them with real cash.
Understanding your map – On your map will be the different places you can visit and each represents a different aspect of the game. Below is an explanation of each location and the importance of each one.
  • Kage Room – This is where you go to view and complete missions.
  • Pet Shop – This is where you go to purchase pets to use in battle. You cannot purchase pets until you have reached level 20.
  • Style Shop – The style shop is where you would go to change your character’s appearance such as hair color, skin color, and hair style.

  • Headquarters – This is where you go to trade gold, buy emblems, and train for bloodline.

  • Clan – This is where you can create your own clan and join other Ninja Saga clans.
Changing your game options – To change your game options, click on the last icon at the bottom of your screen. When the window opens, you’ll see the options you’re allowed to change.
Buying items from the shop – When you’re ready to purchase items from the shop, return to the map and click the Shop village. Once it opens, click the Buy button at the top and select a category to see what it has to offer. When you find something to purchase, click the item and select the Buy button at the very bottom of the window.
Daily spin – Every day that you login to your game, you’ll be given the opportunity to spin a wheel to win free Ninja Saga items like gold and Saga Tokens. The only way to spin this wheel is to become a fan of the game. If you do not become a fan, you cannot spin and you cannot play the game.
Viewing your profile stats – To view your Ninja Saga stats, click the second icon in the bottom menu. When this window opens, you’ll be able to see how much gold, Saga Tokens, and experience points your character has. You’ll also be able to view other Ninja Saga statistics and assign points to the different attributes of your character. Every time you reach a new Ninja Saga level you’ll be given approximately one point that you can distribute to your character’s attributes.
Free versus premium – You can play the Ninja Saga game for free or you can upgrade and become a premium Ninja Saga user. Premium users have somewhat of an advantage as they are allowed to buy more items and create more Ninja Saga users. With a premium account, you can create up to six players but with a free account, you can only create one.
Ninja Saga elements – Listed below are the five elements available for you to use when completing missions and fighting in battles.
  • Fire – This is the element that gives the ability damage ninjas the most. Each fire attribute point adds four-tenths of a percent damage, four-tenths of a percent potential to elevate thirty percent damage for the following turn as well as one percent fire Ninjutsu damage.
  • Wind – This element will give you more speed. For each wind attribute point, you’ll receive four-tenths of a percent more dodge rate and one agility point as well as one percent more wind Ninjutsu damage.
  • Lightening – An element that increases your ability to inflict critical strikes. Each lightening attribute point adds four-tenths of a percent critical chance, increases critical striking damage bonus by four-tenths of a percent and inflicts an additional one percent lightning Ninjutsu damage.
  • Earth – The earth element represents defense and health. Each earth attribute point adds thirty maximum health points to your character, four-tenths of a percent chance to withstand a thirty percent damage attack, and one percent earth Ninjutsu damage.
  • Water – This element represents cleansing and healing. Each water attribute point adds thirty maximum chakra points, four-tenths of a percent to alleviate the negative effect of a turn, and one percent water Ninjutsu damage.
Character attributes – You Ninja Saga character is given five basic attributes that affect their performance. These attributes are listed below with an explanation of their importance.
  • Health Points (HP) – These points are reduced when you are attacked and are regained automatically following a mission or battle. Healing scrolls can be used to elevate your health points during battles. Health points are increased by 40 for each level attained and they may also be increased by 20 per Earth attribute point.
  • Chakra Points (CP) – These points diminish as you use Jutsu during battles but they may be elevated by utilizing chakra scrolls or charging your character in battle. Chakra points are atomatically regained upon completing a mission or battle. Chakra points are increased by 40 points with each new level that is attained and they are also increased by 20 points per Water attribute point attained.
  • Agility – This represents the speed by which your character can complete a given action. The larger the value, the faster the character can move. The agility attribute increases by one every time you reach a new Ninja Saga level and it may be also be increased another point for every Wind attribute point that’s obtained.
  • Dodge Rate – These points represent the ability of your character to avoid an opponent’s strike. Dodge rate points may be increased by one-tenth of a percent for leveling up and one percent for every Wind attribute point gained.
  • Critical Rate – These points represent the potential an opponent can inflict a powerful strike that is in excess of what is normal (a.k.a. critical strike). Such a strike inflicts twice the amount of damage to your character than a normal strike. Critical rate points are elevated by one-tenth of a percent for each new Ninja Saga level that is attained plus one percent for each Lightning attribute point that’s gathered in the game.
Armor and costumes – Armor and costumes may be purchased for your character but it does not help you when it comes to battling others. Buying these items will only help your ninja’s appearance.
Deleting characters – Obviously you can only do this if you have upgraded your account to a premium membership. After doing so, you can create up to six characters for which you can buy weapons and learn skills for these characters. The question many seem to ask is, whether or not you lose Saga Tokens when you delete a character. The answer to that is absolutely no. You’ll not lose any Saga Tokens that are assigned to your account. However, when you delete a character, you’ll lose everything you purchased for that character and all the skills that character owned. When you delete the character, it is as if it never existed but the Saga Tokens you earned in the game are yours to keep.
Starting a clan – To create a Ninja Saga clan, navigate to your map or village, whichever you prefer to call it, and click the Clan building. When the window opens, you’ll need to enter a name for your clan. Then click the Create button. To create a clan, you’ll have to pay 400 Saga Tokens. If you do not have enough Saga Tokens, you can purchase more before creating a new clan.
Joining a clan – There are three ways to join a clan in Ninja Saga. First, you can search for a clan to join by going to the ranking page and then sending a request to the clan master. Second, you can accept clan invitations that have been sent to you, and third, you can send a request to your friends. When someone sends you a request to join there Ninja Saga clan, the request will appear in your mailbox located at the bottom of the screen.
Managing your clan – To manage your clan, you’ll need to visit the Clan Hall. There you can do things like remove clan members, invite people to join your clan, and post clan announcements.
Sending clan invites – If you want to invite people to join your Ninja Saga clan, you have a couple options. You can either choose friends from your friends’ list to send clan invitations or you can ask players for their character id and send them an invitation that way.
Removing clan members – If you no longer wish to have certain members in your Ninja Saga clan, you can remove them quite easily. All you need to do is visit the Clan Hall to select the members from your list and click the Remove link next to the individual you want to remove.
Quitting a clan – If you no longer wish to be part of a clan, you can easily leave a clan by visiting the Clan Hall and clicking on the Quit Clan button. Upon doing so you’ll be removed from that clan and you’ll lose all reputation you might have gained while you were a member of that particular Ninja Saga clan.
Clan reputation – Clan reputation determines your rank in a specific clan. You should work on increasing this attribute as achieving the highest reputation after a tournament will earn you a nice reward. You can usually receive up to 25 clan reputation points per tournament.
Starting a clan battle – To get start a clan battle you’ll need to enter the clan district and choose an opponent. When you’re ready to fight click the Fight button to begin the battle.
Battle options – When it comes to battling, you essentially have four options. You can either complete missions, do practice battles, battle against your friends, or battle other Ninja Saga players. To see your choices of battles, click the Battle area on your map.

How To Play Ninja Saga

How to earn gold – Gold is earned in a couple of different ways. When you begin playing the game, you’ll have 100 gold. Once you complete the tutorial, you’ll be awarded an additional 250 gold. Below is a list of some of ways to earn Ninja Saga gold.
  • Winning battles – When you win a battle, you’ll be rewarded with gold. The amount of gold varies and depends on who you are battling.

To earn more Saga Tokens, you can click the Earn Saga Token tab at the top of your page and complete the offers. If you want to purchase more Saga Tokens, you can click the Buy Saga Tokens tab at the top of the page and purchase one of the packages.
Leveling up – As you play Ninja Saga, you’ll quickly discover that your opportunities are limited if you don’t level up. The higher your Ninja Saga level, the more you’ll be able to do in the game. For example, you can’t buy a pet until you reached level 20 and you can’t battle in the arena until you have reached level five. Thus, it is important for you to level up fast and the quickest way to level up is to complete missions.

When the window opens, you can select the mission you wish to complete. Once the mission has been completed, you’ll be able to see what you’ve earned.

Battling in missions – When you accept a mission and you’re placed in a town or something similar. If you see any ninjas standing around you’ll need to approach them to begin the battling them. To get your character to walk towards them, click on one of the ninjas. As you approach him, you’ll enter the battle stage of the game. As you battle you’ll need to utilize your attributes and weapons located at the bottom of your screen. If you defeat a ninja and have more waiting, you’ll be returned to the place you started. you’ll then have to click on another ninja to begin battling again. You’ll have to do repeat this step until you have defeated all of the ninjas around you.
Arena matches – If you’re looking for a quick match, run on over to the arena and select to battle players on your Ninja Saga level. These matches are suppose to be quick, but that’s not always the case. If for some reason the search engine can’t find someone on your level, it will find someone one level higher or lower than you.
Acquiring friend skills – To acquire friend skills, follow these steps. Locate your friends list at the bottom of the screen and click the visit button below the friend you want to acquire a skill from. When the game reloads, click the Learn Skill button and you’ll be added to your friend’s Jutsu list. Now select the skill you want to learn and click the Learn button. You must complete eight sessions (~32 hours) to acquire the skill before you can use it.
Recruiting friends – You can only recruit one to two friends at a time and it costs you Ninja Saga gold to do so. The amount of gold is determines by your friend’s current level multiplied by two. Thus if your friend has achieved level 20, you’d have to pay out 40 gold to recruit that individual. To recruit a friend, go to the recruiting location on your map and select the option for recruiting your friends. The window will then reload and you’ll see the friends that you can recruit. Keep in mind that you can only recruit friends whom are on the same level as you or lower. You cannot recruit friends that have attained a higher Ninja Saga level. Recruiting friends is in your best interest as it will help you while completing missions and fighting in battles. They cannot help you, however, when you fight other friends.

You can battle these friends, recruit them, and send them invitations to join your clans as well. When you recruit them, however, you are asking them to help you in battle. They must be your Ninja Saga friend before you can recruit them.

Some of the skills are learned instantly while others take more time. Upon visiting the Academy, click on a skill you want to learn and hit the Buy button.

Ninja Saga Strategy

Ninja Saga Strategy
Ninja Saga iconComplete missions often – It is important for you to level up quickly so you can start battling and unlocking Ninja Saga items that you’ll need later. The fastest way to reach new Ninja Saga levels is to complete missions.
Ninja Saga iconSend informed invitations – Gaining more Ninja Saga friends is an important aspect of the game as it unlocks Ninja Saga items and weapons. When you attempt to invite other Facebook users to join you, make sure you include a short message explaining why you’re sending them an invite. This can be something as simple as including the words “Ninja Saga” or “Ninja Saga add” with your invite. Doing so will increase your friend request acceptance rate.
Ninja Saga iconRecharge your CP – If your CP gets too low while you’re on a mission or battling someone, use the Charge option in your bottom menu to recharge your character. In most cases, you should be alright, but there are a few times when you’ll need to recharge quickly.
Ninja Saga iconBecome a fan of Ninja Saga – Spend some time joining Ninja Saga groups and fan pages on Facebook. These pages are great places to add more Ninja Saga friends. There you’ll be able to add other players and post your character ID for them to add you.
Ninja Saga iconInvite your friends – Make sure you take advantage of the Invite Reward opportunity. Click on the round icon located on the left side of the screen at the bottom. This will give you special rewards in return for obtaining a certain amount of invites for the Ninja Saga game. These Ninja Saga items include rune scrolls, a kotetsu katana, 30,000 gold, a genjutsu, and a pet kame. Such Ninja Saga items are quite powerful and they can be of great help to you, especially if your a beginner.
Ninja Saga iconDecrease page loading times – To speed up page loading in Ninja Saga, navigate to the game options page and reduce the graphic quality. This will considerably improve the speed at which Ninja Saga pages load in your browser. Another way to speed up page loading for the game is to change to a faster browser like Google Chrome or Opera.
Ninja Saga iconJoin or create a Ninja Saga clan – After you’ve become a member of a Ninja Saga clan, work on growing your clan size by inviting other Ninja Saga friends to join your clan. By participating in clan battles and clan tournaments you’ll gain more clan reputation. If you win a clan tournament all members of your clan will receive rewards.
Ninja Saga iconShare occasionally – It seems like every time you accomplish something in the Ninja Saga game it asks you to share the accomplishment with your Facebook friends. While it’s tempting to show off your skills at the game, you shouldn’t do this very often because it can get you unfriended by those that don’t play the game. Save the sharing of your accomplishments in the game for times when you surpass large milestones. You may also want to consider disabling automatic postings for all games as well. If you don’t know how to do this, see our Facebook Guide.
Ninja Saga iconHelp your Ninja Saga clan – Once you’ve joined or created a Ninja Saga clan, make sure you take action to defend your clan in battle. Otherwise your clan will lose reputation points to the enemy clan that attacks yours.
Ninja Saga iconBeware of battling level one players – Once you’ve attained Ninja Saga level 5 status, you’ll be able to enter the Arena and battle other players. While it may be tempting to pick on the little guys listed as level one players, this ranking can be quite deceiving. Many Ninja Saga players may juice up a level one character with powerful weapons to defeat you in a single strike.
Ninja Saga iconBe an exceptional Ninja Saga clan master – If you choose to create your own clan you’ll become the clan master. This means you have many responsibilities to your fellow Ninja Saga clan members. You must manage the gold fund appropriately to reinvest in your clan to ensure it succeeds. One way of doing this is to build and upgrade clan buildings and other structures (i.e. Ramen, Hot Spring, Temple, Training Hall) to give your clan members proper training facilities that help them become better fighters. Doing such things increases clan attributes like stamina, maximum health points, chakra points, and attack damage.
Ninja Saga iconSubmit your tips – Got any killer Ninja Saga tips or strategies for success? If so, post your Ninja Saga tips here and we’ll add them to the Ninja Saga guide. These acts help other Ninja Saga players and it ensures that the guide remains up-to-date with the best Ninja Saga tips for you to utilize as well.

HeroSmash Update

I got to play HeroSmash the second it was released and got the name I wanted! Here are some points in a super-bulleted list:

  • The short-cut keys from AdventureQuest Worlds work in HS. V= display health, U= users, 1= attack, etc.
  • The "/join" command also works. /join park, /join mainstreet, etc.
  • There are some shops and quests to play around with.
  • I haven't encountered any major bugs since las night. Makes me kind of nervous...
For more information, check the unofficial HeroSmash wiki, which is starting to be populated.

Check in with you later!

Holy schnit, Manbat! HeroSmash and Cataclysm on the same night!

I'm doing two things right now- reloading the HeroSmash page for updates from Artix and watching Cataclysm load on my PC. What to do? I guess World of Warcraft can wait for a while. I'm going to get my awesome super or villain name.

Come on come on!

HeroSmash Alpha Today!

Artix is gearing up for the HS Alpha test. He is posting play-by-plays on the HeroSmash page so you can enjoy all the excitement of server crashes, coding errors, and superlag!

The HS forums is now running.

So excited!

HeroSmash Alpha Tomorrow!

Phase one of HeroSmash Alpha starts tomorrow night. Everyone who supports AE games will be able to create a character and pick their name. Sometime after, 1,500 lucky AdventureQuest Worlds members will be able to play the game!

I'm not hopeful that I'll be one of those players. There are millions of AQW mems and the odds of getting into the game are really slim. Hopefully, really late that night, I'll be able to join.

Click here for more information about HeroSmash.

A Pet with a Shop

Artix asked in the design notes:

Forum Question 2: Would you be interested in a pet that allowed you to access your bank? What about a shop? (You know, so you can sell stuff without returning to town?)

Oh yeah! Heck yeah! That would be freakin' awesome!

Picking the Right Hero Name

 Picking just the right name for HeroSmash


One of the most popular pages of this blog is the "Character Names" page that helps player pick the right AdventureQuest Worlds name. I'm going to extend that to HeroSmash.

The same basic rules apply to both AQW and HS:
Good names are memorable and can be spelled correctly. They allow you to form friendships in the game because people remember you and talk to you even if you're not on their friend's list. Good names also tell people a little about yourself or, even better, your character.
Bad names are not memorable. That's because people can't spell them, like "3vil K1LL3r." Using l33t, strange character combinations, and really long names work against you. Avoid using numbers. If you are spelling a word, avoid alternative spellings, like "Cowboiz" for Cowboy. People won't be able to remember you.
Also, do not to use offensive or suggestive language. You will alienate many people. At the very least, you will be silently ignored by a large number of people.
In picking a name, remember shorter is better. Easier to remember, right?

Don't Forget the Title

Since there can only be one of a kind names in an MMO like HeroSmash, odds are the name you want is gone. So give yourself a title and see if you like it. Titles can be:
  • Supreme
  • Doctor
  • Professor
  • Colonel, Major, Sergent, Captain, etc
  • A color: blue, red, silver, black, green.
  • Fantastic
  • Dubious
  • Amazing, etc.
For example, if you wanted the name, "Omega," but it was already taken, you can call yourself "Professor Omega," or, "Silver Omega," or, "Major Omega." You get the picture.



Rules For Choosing A Superhero Name

I found this on the Interwebs without a citation or attribution. It's not my list but it has great advice.
  • Don't call yourself by your real name: e.g., The Incredible Jenny Pinchuck, The Amazing Stevie Foster.
  • Don't call yourself by someone else's real name: e.g., Super Teddy Kennedy, Captain Dean Martin.
  • Choose a name that suggests power, heroism and prowess: e.g., Captain Power, Thunderman, Mr. Invincible, Justiceman.
  • Don't be too modest: e.g., Mr. Pretty Good, Captain So-so, Fairly Incredibleman, Captian Invincible on a good day.
  • But don't labor the point: e.g., Mr. So-Powerful- Don't-Even-Think- About-It-Buddy.
  • Don't choose a name detrimental to your crime fighting image: e.g.,Captain Spongecake, Mr. Silly, Yellow Streak, Purple Slippers, Captain Sweetiepie.
  • Don't choose the name of an existing Superhero unless you have lots of money and enjoy fighting litigation instead of supervillains.
  • It's no use calling yourself Captain Invincible if your only power is control over Hostess Twinkies and you suffer from a congenital hole-in- the-heart condition. It's just asking for trouble.
  • Don't call yourself the Invisible Boy if you're not.
  • Don't call yourself the Invisible Boy if you're a girl.
  • Don't give away important information in your name, e.g. The Glass Jaw, Captain Vulnerable To Strontium 90.
  • Don't call yourself The Green Avenger if you wear an orange costume. You'll confuse people.


Name Generator

A name generator can help you come up with some great ideas for hero names. Seventh Sanctum has a several different Superhero name generators for you to play with. Have fun!

Where's the blogroll?

I had to delete a bunch of modules from the blog because Google Chrome detected a link to malware. It turned out to be the fancy translation module I was using. When I have more time I'll add the deleted modules back in.

Until then, if you want your blog added to my blogroll, leave a comment. All languages are invited. It has to be about AQW or any Artix game.

More SuperHer-- er, the hero game News!

Artix put up a big post about SuperHero Quest. Here's another excuse for me to make a bullet list (yes!):
  • The name might have to change. DC/ Marvel told AE to stop using "SuperHero Quest."
  • DC/ Marvel sort of suck. I blame Disney.
  • There's a secret working name but we won't know what it is until it comes out.
  • I'm calling the game HeroFable for now. Don't like it? Leave a comment with your idea.
  • Galanoth will lead the game. Thyton and Yergen von Smergenbergen are doing the art and animation.
  • Who's Yergen von Smergenbergen?
  • The art is done in a "vinyl" style. Looks like that YouTube video floating around was not a fake.
  • The game will not have classes. You will get individual skills.
  • As you level up you can get new powers, skills, and abilities.
  • Of course there will be flying!
There were several posts in the forums about AQW mems getting to test the game and everyone else was shut out. Artix bent over backwards and come up with this solution:
Phase 1: Everyone who supported the games will get to make an account.

Phase 2: One server will open to AQW mems only.

Phase 3: Multiple servers will open and all supporting players will join in.
There you have it!

Ninja Saga:Turkey Pet and Thanksgiving Balloons back item!

AE 2011 Calender in Second Printing

I'm really thankful I was able to order my 2011 calender from Heromart before the first printing sold out. I can't believe how fast these things flew out of the store! My guess is: the Chronomancer armor. I collect armors and had to order the calender (which looks cool on its own, btw) to get it.

I'll probably get my Shaman class when the calender arrives. It takes a long-long time to get a 10 rep in Arcangrove. I still need another 70k rep to get rank 10. I'm averaging around 8k a day.

Here's a question for you: what's the deal with Dage's champion quests? I've done them nine or 10 times already and haven't got a single drop. I know, I know. He's Dage the Evil so of course he's messing with me. The doucher.

There looks like an airship themed area opening up. That looks really awesome. Looking forward to this week's release.

SuperHero Quest Needs Drama

I've been thinking about how I want SHQ to be built. Most players are centering on skills and powers for the upcoming super hero MMO. I've been more worried about how the game can have comic book depth and interest.

I don't read comics much anymore. But I used to collect every issue of every comic put out by Marvel. Blade, Spider-Man, the Avengers, and the X-Men where my favorites. There are reasons why I liked these specific comics and I hope AE can get those in the game.

First, the back story and the origin. Super heroes need an interesting past and a way they got their powers. Spider-Man was bitten by a radioactive spider. Wolverine was a mutant who was enhanced through mysterious circumstances. Blade was born to a vampire mother.

How can we get these elements into the game? I'm not interested in writing my own origin and having it on my character profile page. No one reads those things anyways. I want to play out my origin. I want to start as a geeky, unpopular teenager or a mutant on the run.

Playing an origin would mean that AE would have to make five or six starting quests. They could do it.

Then we need drama, compelling drama. Lots and lots of over the top, super-drama. This will come from NPCs, groups, rivals, and secret identities.

Peter Parker was constantly saving MJ and Aunt May. Mostly MJ, who had a knack for getting kidnapped. And Aunt May needed help with little things because she lived alone. SHQ could have dependent and love interest NPCs that need to be rescued. Even the bad guys have this (think Green Goblin from the Spider-Man movies).

None of my favorite comics had sidekicks. But most had supporting characters that would help the hero from time to time. It would be fun to have a sidekick. And a wise super hero mentor. That wouldn't be to hard for AE to build into the game. For villains, minions are a must!

And lets talk about super hero groups. Even Spider-Man joined the Avengers and the Fantastic Four from time to time. How fun would it be to make your own super hero team? Freakin' awesome fun! It should not be like a guild, though. Super hero teams don't have big memberships, four to twelve people. Multiple memberships would be fun.

Spider-Man and the Green Goblin. Fantastic Four and Dr. Doom. The X-Men and Magneto. We simply have to have arch-rivals in SuperHero Quest. What good is a super hero or super villain without his or her nemesis?

Then there's the "normal life" part of a super hero's existence. I'm talking about jobs, going to school, keeping the secret identity a secret, romantic love interests, science experiments in underground labs/ lairs. Let's see that in SHQ. Please.

Players will certainly create their own drama and groups will supply the platform from which it will develop. AE can supply the rest with the daily life of the hero.

I'll probably play SHQ for a little while even if it's just a super hero game built around the AQW game engine with no drama and tons of clicky-clicky grinding. It all depends on how it develops.

News Bullets 7 November 2010

Just an excuse to make a bulleted list:

  • I've been surfing around looking for any little news on SuperHero Quest. Nothing new so far.
  • Found the official SHQ Twitter page. No tweets since the beginning of October.
  • Still grinding away at getting the Shaman class. There's got to be an easier way! Look at my guide and see if you have any hints yourself.
  • Updated my SHQ page with what little I have. Added Twitter feed.
  • Do you know of any active Artix Entertainment blogs out there? Please let me know so I can update my blogroll.
  • Built my way back up from 70,000 gold to 600,000 by kicking the crap out of Eugene the Unfortunate Grinding Dwakel.
  • I'm going to buy the AE 2011 wall calender. Mostly because it contains a code for the Chronomaster class.

To Eugene: I'm Broke and I'm Back

Spending cash on new outfits, enhancements, potions, and what-nots I've found myself broke again. So I searched around looking for the best place to farm gold. Guess what, it's still at Dwakel.

And actually it's better than ever! Before you had to go somewhere else to sell your loot. Taravya has a shop now (the enhancement shop) where I can easily ditch my ill-gotten goods and get back to farming Dwakels.

Poor Eugene.

SuperHero Quest Frenzy

In my vigilance to keep on top of the SuperHero Quest launch I've been digging around the corners of the interwebs. I've found some interesting tidbits about Artix Entertainment, some old AE games and sites, and a lot of rumor and speculation.

Here's all I know about SHQ right now:

  • It'll go into Beta in November. We don't know when.
  • AQW members will be Beta testers.
  • Maybe members of other games will be Beta testers.
  • The SHQ site redirects to the BattleOn Portal.

Yeah, I know. Not a lot, right?

I did find something interesting, at least for me. The creators of my favorite unofficial AQW wiki have already started on an unofficial SuperHero Quest wiki. I like the AQW wiki because it has facts and hints the official wiki doesn't.

Looks like we're all ready for this game. Now Artix has to get back from that convention and get to work on it!

Ninja Saga World Boss: Battle Turtle



A new boss was released by Ninja Saga. I am having hard time to kill the boss. Even I have recruited lvl60 emblem ninjas with percent damage skills, We can't kill them on the first fight because of its skill that heals itself with 35k HP! That was so unfair. So I decided to bring out my ultimate 1 hit kill cheat! lol

Vampire pwnage

Do you remember when we couldn't win a few wars? Do you recall how frustratingly slow the counter moved at the top of the list? It looks like AQW players really don't like vampires because we kicked vampire 8u77 in this war!

There are a couple cool drops for members and non-members from Incubus:

Arcangrove Rep Farming

All 10 Quests
The Road to Shammy-ness

In order to get the Shaman class you need to have a 10 rep in Arcangrove. This will take a long, long time. Here's a guide that will help players get the most out of the rep quests in Aracangrove.

The quickest way to gain rep, besides doing the story-line quests, is to get the quests from the four NPCs at Arcangrove (/join arcangrove). The NPCs are:
  • Rayst, with two rep quests, outside the building.
  • Reens, with two rep quests and three daily quests, inside the building, bottom transporter pad.
  • Moonrath, with two quests, middle transporter on the right.
  • Blakk, with two quests, middle transporter on the right.
When you first start, you should have 10 quests that will get you rep. That includes Reens' two daily quests (don't do the Experiment 107 quest, I'll explain later).

To do the quests, go one screen to the right of the starting area with Rayst. You'll find two Gorillaphants and one Seed Spitter. Clobber them until you finish all 10 quests. Pay special attention on getting to the Seed Spitter, which many players forget about.

Hint: If you don't see any players there to help, try a different room. Type "/join arcangrove" in the text bar and see if you can find a filled room. You'll have the most help on crowded servers where players trying to gain rep are doing the same thing.

I takes about 15 minutes with my level 33 and level 18 characters to finish the quest. The net rep gained from all 10 quests will be 2,990 to 4,000 rep and a ton of experience and rank points.

After you finish, you can go at it again and it will only take about five minutes because the daily quests from Reens won't be available until tomorrow. You'll have eight quests total.

Experiment 107: Elders Blood Potion

Don't do the 107 quest from Reens unless you want the potion. This quest needs 50 slain Gorillaphants and gets you 800 rep. If you turn them into Rayst's Gorillaphant Poaching quest, you'll get 1,050 rep, and probably more.

Rayst's Gorillaphant Poaching Quest

You can collect many more Slain Gorillaphants than the 7 the quest calls for. You'll probably have something like 30 or 40 when all of the other quests are done. So after you turn in the quest the first time, accept it again, then turn it in again.
Paddylump of Mudluk

Other Daily Quests

The two daily quests outside Arcangrove main are from Ewa, in the Cloister (/join cloister), and Paddylump, in Mudluk (/join mudluck). Both of these daily quests will net you 1500 rep each. Lower-level players (under level 30) should skip it and stay with the four quest-givers in Arcangrove because there will be little help with these quests.

Ewa of the Cloister
Since these quests send you to the other area, Paddylump's quest sends you to the Cloister and Ewa's quest sends you to Mudluk, get the quest in one area, finish in the other, and then grab the second quest on the way out.

Good luck on your journey to Shaman-hood!

BladeHaven Release

I played the BladeHaven Beta release and was impressed. This game is not your typical AE fare, being a first-person game. I liked the graphics and controls. What I didn't like was you had to spend BattleOn Points for potions! I'm not a fan of that.

There's lots of achievements in the game and the flow is good. I might play it off and when when the mood strikes me.

Happenings and Goings Ons

Wow! There's a lot going on at AE right now! Here's a bulleted list of stuff you should know:


  • BladeHaven Beta starts tomorrow, October 14th. Check to see if you qualify for Beta testing.
  • AE has a new novel that will be out in November, The Dragon's Secret. It will be available at Hero Mart. Of course it will have an in-game perk.
  • AQW's level cap has been raised to 35. I'm amazed that people have already made it to the top! I've been using Twilly's XP Boost (150 ACs) to help. Only up to level 31.
  • AQW's pumpkin carving contest has started and will run until the end of October.
  • On Friday, October 15th, the next Chaos Beast will be unleashed on AQW.
  • The previous year's Mogloween will also be released on Friday. This will give players a chance to catch up.
  • This year's Mogloween will be released on October 22nd, unless they melt the servers (hey, it can happen at AE).
  • November 2nd is the deadline for Second Upholder status.

Too many armors! Too many outfits!

There are a lot of really cool items being released, like the anti-Artix costumes. My bag space is overflowing right now with stuff!

I remember when the coolest armor you could get was Phoenix plate. I think I'm going to wear mine for a while just for old-times sake.

I still wear my noob armor just for giggles. It's fun to have people send me a message, "Why is a level 30 wearing nub stuff?" It's because in PvP I want people to ignore me!

I don't play PvP much anymore so I'm thinking about selling my noob stuff to make room for all the awesome Halloween stuff that will be coming out soon!

A lot of people have been anxious to see this game. A lot more are just curious. In any case, this Thursday will be the day to see it. In the mean time, here's a little something to wet your appetite:
