Where is / Where can I find / Can I see a picture of ?
Here on the wiki, each page will have a picture of that item in game.
Where do I enhance my helmet/cape/pet/armor?
Enhancements. Aside from weapons, all items can be enhanced at the Helmet Shop, the Weapon Smith's shop in Swordhaven, the enhancement shop in Battleon, and Yulgar's Inn in Battleon.
Where is the "pixel shop"?
The "pixel shop" is merely a rumor, it does not actually exist.
Is going Rare?
There are currently no items which the staff has indicated will be going Rare.
I'm a free player, can I get a pet?
The only way to get free member pets are from getting redeem codes from special offers, such as the Save Chuckles T-shirts, or from AE by attending special events such as DragonCon.
When will be released?
We are not game staff, so unfortunately most of the time we don't know about upcoming releases, unless it has been mentioned in the Design Notes. You can ask about upcoming releases on the Battleon Forums, but if you can't find it either in those forums or in the AQW Design Notes, then probably only the game staff will know.
Which is the best weapon in the game?
At the moment, there isn't really a “best” weapon damage wise. Most weapons have the same average damage as others when enhanced to the same level, although some have about a 0.5 higher/lower average damage than others. Currently, the main thing with weapons is appearances.
But I thought that weapons have different damages?
Although most weapons have the same average damage, they have different damage ranges. For example, at a certain enhancement level one weapon may do 67-67 damage, while another may do 26-107 damage. Despite this, the average damage is the same.

What is the drop rate of _?
Baring a very few items (stated on their wiki page) only staff know the drop rates of items. If you need help getting an item, use the Let's Party! thread.
Does _ go good with __ ? Should I buy __? I want to buy ___ , what should I sell?
The Q&A Forum cannot help you with this. This is your personal opinion, so it is hard for us to answer that type of question. A better place to go would be the Equipment Discussion Thread or the Character Rating Thread.
What are the classes in AQW? How can I get new classes?
The base classes (Warrior, Rogue, Mage, and Healer) are available from the Class Shop in Trainers (type /join trainers). Talk to one of them and click "Armor Shop". Other classes are available throughout the game. See Classes for a list of classes in the game, what they do, and where to find them.
How do I switch classes?
To switch between classes, simply equip the class armor of the class you want.
How/When do I unlock new skills for my class?
New skills are unlocked at Rank 2, 4, and 8. Some classes have passive skills unlocked at different levels. Check the page of the class you want for more information.
Why is the last box of my skills empty? Where is the final skill?
There is currently no final skill, this will be implemented by the staff later.
How many class points do I need to rank up my classes?
Exp/Class Points/Rep
If I sell my class armor, will I have the same class rank if/when I buy it back?
No, all ranks are reset once the armor is sold.
How can I get the Pirate Armor/Class?
You can obtain the Pirate Class by visiting Lolosia and completing all of the quests from Elissa Keelhaul.
If you have the Alpha Pirate Class (which was only available once), you can also use it. Alpha Pirate used to be the Captain Rhubarb Nametag which was handed out during the alpha test on Mulligan Day after the Captain accidentally gave everyone his name and we all had to sign up again. It is now rare.
If you lost your Nametag, posted in the Missing Nametag thread, AND were eligible for a Nametag (your account had to be created early enough), your Nametag has been replaced. Further replacements are not likely.
How do I become a Warlord/Sorcerer/Renegade/Acolyte/Assassin/Paladin/Berserker/Beast Warrior?
All of the classes mentioned above are upgrade-only classes. Warlord, Sorcerer, Renegade, and Acolyte are all upgrades of the "base" classes; these can be unlocked by visiting the Trainers (type /join trainers) and completing their quests. Assassin is unlocked by completing Mazumi's Ninja Quests. Berserker and Beast Warrior are available
from the upgrade shop. See below for information on the Paladin class.
What's the difference(s) between the free classes and upgraded classes?
Currently, the only real differences are the appearance of the armors.
How do I get Paladin class?
First of all, Paladin is upgrade-only. To unlock all of Artix's Paladin quests (see Artix's Quests - "Undead Slaying!", "Evil must be stopped!", and "I heal good!"), you must first obtain Rank 10 in BOTH Warrior/Warlord AND Healer/Acolyte. Once you have fulfilled all these requirements, simply complete all of Artix's quests to unlock Paladin and the Paladin Shop.
How do I get the DragonSlayer Class? I heard it was non-member, but the last of Galanoth's quests is only for members.
It is true that the last quest is member only, though you do not *have* to complete it. Galanoth's Shop will open once you have done all of the non-member quests, before the last member quest.
What's the difference between an armor and a class? I heard about customizable armors, what does it mean?
A class is the skills part of your gear. You will have different skills depending on which class you have on.
An armor (or costume) is the actual appearance of the armor. The armor has no effect on the skills of the class at all, it is purely the appearance. Armors can be put on over the top of a class. All armors can be found here: Armors.
How can I tell the difference between an armor and a class?
In your inventory, an armor will have a symbol which looks like a mask, but a class will have a symbol that looks like a chest plate.
What does a yellow/gold name mean?
Players with yellow/gold usernames are Artix Entertainment staff members and/or in-game Moderators.
Someone who had a yellow name had an item I had never seen before, and it wasn't on the wiki. What was it?
Staff members (people with yellow names) have access to a wide range of things not available to normal players. They are called staff/mod items. These staff only items are not on the wiki, since they are not available for non-staff players.
Can I be a moderator?
Not at the moment. So please don't ask about it. The only way you will become a moderator is if YOU are chosen by staff, not the other way around.
Someone said that they were a mod and needed my info, should I give it to them?
No! Never give away your information to anyone. Unless the person has a gold name they are not a mod. There is no reason staff should need to ask for your password simply because they can look it up.
How do I report a hacker? What about someone who is swearing?
You can report a player by selecting their character, clicking "Options" below their information box, and selecting "Report." You're also welcome to send a private message or e-mail to a Moderator or Administrator on the battleon forums or on IRC; be sure to include a screenshot, the name of the player, and why you are reporting them. Please DO NOT create a publicly viewable post accusing other players of hacking, cheating, or otherwise breaking the rules.
What are the current level/gold/xp caps?
The current level cap is Level 20. The current Class Rank cap is Rank 10. There are currently no confirmed details about the daily gold or XP caps; there will almost certainly be an announcement from the staff if one is set in place. The max gold anybody can have at any time currently is 2 million gold. If you were an alpha/beta tester, you were able to have more than 2 million as no cap had been set at that time.
What does "NYI" mean?
NYI means "Not Yet Implemented," that is, the feature is currently not functional.
How come my friend can chat but I can't?
Currently, chat is only available to upgraded members or any free members who have verified their Guardian/Dragon Amulet/Star Captain status or verified their email. However, all players can use the preset chat messages by clicking the speech bubble button to the left of the chat box.
Why don't I regain Mana/MP during battle anymore?
Mana regeneration is a passive skill on certain armors; not all armors have this ability.

What do I get for verifying my Star Captain, Guardian, and Dragon Lord?
If you verified a Star Captain, Guardian, and/or Dragon Lord, you gain access to the Star Captain, DragonLord and Guardian Shops, depending on which you verified. For example, if you only verified your DragonFable account on AQW, then you would only have access to the DragonLord Shop. Although, if you verified your DragonLord and Guardian Account, then you would have access to both the DragonLord and Guardian Shop. These shops can be found in Guardian Tower (/join tower).
Note that Verifying an armor does not make you a member of AdventureQuest Worlds, that is a separate payment.
How can I change my good/evil alignment?
If you have done the Story Quests leading up to the King’s cutscene at Swordhaven Castle (Undead)(/join castleundead), you are able to watch the cutscene where you choose your side. When watching the cutscene, make sure your sound is on.
Where is the Good “Base”? Where is the Evil “Base”?
The good side “base” is at /join castle and the evil “base” is at /join shadowfall. The way the game works out is this: Good is at the Swordhaven Castle, Evil is at Shadowfall, and Battleon is the meeting place for all warriors of Lore.

You can get to your character’s page by going on the game and clicking on any character’s (including yours) profile at the top left corner after you click on that character. If you want to see someone else’s character page who is currently online, type their name in at the end of the URL.
