Zhoom

At Birthday

Ranger and AQ3D Lead Programmer
When Artix and I began building AdventureQuest Worlds, we did something almost no one else was doing. I ranged far and wide to the code we'd need. It's thanks to you we were able to build it then, and because of you, we can keep it going for many more years.

At Cave of Wanders

+ Normal

Master Ranger
Greetings, hero. What are you doing here in Cave of Wanders? Just exploring? Please come and see me outside the Sandsea Oasis Village when you are done. I have a task for you.

After completing the 'Seek The Treasure' quest:

Master Ranger
Sek-Duat has slipped away! That mummy had us running in circles just to keep us occupied! How could I have been so stupid. He will have followed you to the chamber with the lamp in it. I have a plan but we don't have much time so listen carefully…

+ During the 'The Third Wish' quest

Master Ranger
I heard a rumor on the wind. You seek a scrap of paper, inscribed with the wish of a princess? Yes. It was plucked out of the sky by one of the many hands of the Kalestri Worshippers.

- Return to Akiba

At Nostalgia Quest

Zhoom
Wow, Hero! It is so GOOD to be back at Yulgar's Inn! I've been stuck in the desert for YEARS. I can't remember the last time I had a cold, frothy glass of moglinberry juice. But, can you believe it, while I was gone, the Zardmen stole my map and key…AGAIN! I am in need of a Beta Berserker to recover it for me. If you do… I will give you the Beta Berserker and Dark Berserker Armors. If you are not… I have another request… and reward.

At Oasis

Ranger/ Sandsea Reputation Vendor
Welcome to The Sandsea, hero. The Sandsea Oasis Village was once the only thing you could see for miles other than the Sek Duat Dynasty pyramids but a massive sand storm blew through and revealed much more. The village sits on top of a vast, forgotten city that was swallowed up by the Sandsea ages ago. These are strange days.

I am Zhoom, master tracker and ranger. If you hire me to find someone or something for you… I will find it, no matter how long it takes or what I must do. In the past I would take on any job but a friend showed me that I must choose my battles more carefully or else innocents may get hurt.

I owe the people of the Sandsea Oasis Village much. My mother was the last true sand elf, and after Sek Duat hunted my people to near extinction, the people of this village protected my mother and me. I learned everything I know of tracking from running from Sek Duat's guards when I was a young half-sand elf on the streets.

Now I spend my time going between here and Battleon…. Maybe you've seen me in Yulgar's Inn? My services are still for hire but I try to spend my time helping the people of the Sandsea. Since the evil Sek Duat XV vanished, life has been happier here, but the great sandstorm uncovered ancient dangers and I must take up my bow again.

After completing the Sandsea storyline:

Ranger/ Sandsea Reputation Vendor
I will strive to be as worthy a ruler of the SandSea as I believe you would have been. Go with my- with all of our- thanks, Hero. You have freed us from tyranny; your name will be remembered in our harsh but beautiful desert for generations to come.

At Pyramid

Master Ranger
Hero, it doesn't look like anything is going here… yet… Head back to the Oasis and away to furter instructions. There are others other matters that need to be addressed first.

After completing the 'Sell-Sword Sell-Outs' quest:

Master Ranger
Welcome to Sek-Duat Dynasty Pyramids, Hero. These pyramids are as old as the Sandsea itself, ruled under the almighty power of the god-king Sek-Duat. I have my suspicious that he is hiding somewhere within this pyramid. If we can reach the chamber of Sek-Duat… peharps we can get some insight on how to defeat Zahart and his Djinn…

At Sand Castle

Master Ranger
We have not yet searched the rest of the Oasis thoroughly enough, Hero. Return here once you have explored the rest of the area.

After completing 'I Dream of...' quest:

Master Ranger
We've searched all across the Oasis for Zahart. This is the last place he could be hiding. But rushing in without reconnaissance is the way of the unwise ranger. I will interrogate the town's inhabitants about this place while you see what you can find inside.

- Zhoom's Quests

At Sandsea Port

Master Ranger
It seems that this city once had a port. It must have been located on a river. Now the oasis is the only water for miles. I've tracked a hedge-mage named Zahart to this area. I don't know what he's doing here but he's rotten to his core and I have a feeling that he knows what was behond this strange sandstorm. We must find him and question him.

- Zhoom's Quests

After completing the 'Sell-Sword Sell-Outs' quest:

Master Ranger
Its hard to believe that Zahart is now commanding a mighty Djinn. This is not good. Meet me back in the Oasis Village. The god-king has gone into hiding and if we are to find Sek Duat I must check some leads in town.

At Underground Lab

Sandsea Ranger, Programmer
I don't like them ninjas. I like to look invaders in the eyes before I slay them. Makes it easier to recognize them if they come back. I don't like them undead, either.

4th Birthday
The Artix Entertainment Employee Hand book states that if there is an undesirable or trivial task that must be performed, in a group of equally-qualified personnel, the last to touch their nose is responsible for performing it.
