Guardians are characters in AdventureQuest who are able to access all the features of the game. They generally have an advantage over adventurers, being able to purchase considerably powerful items from the store within the Guardian Tower and the ability to level to 10 on all classes, and the ability to access the game any time they wish.

Obtaining Guardianship Edit

There are two ways in which one can become a Guardian. The first is through a One-Time Only donation of US$19.95 that goes to maintaining game server costs. The transaction may be done through PayPal, Pay-By-Cash or through direct payments through snail mail, though the latter is generally not recommended due to the possibility that the money might be lost.

Another way of becoming a Guardian is to receive an upgrade from a friend. This mode of upgrading involves getting someone else to help donate, thus upgrading your account into that of a Guardian. Transactions made this way usually receive a discount during the Christmas Holidays. This, however, has led several users on the forums to beg for Guardianship from others, which is a bannable offence.

Perks Edit

Full Access to the Game Edit

Special Guardian-only events Edit

Many quests, events and wars are Guardian-only (for example, the Custom Weapon Quest), and most events begin as Guardian-only features and unlock to Adventurers at a later date.

Top class levels Edit

The top five Guardian-only class levels of every class contain the most powerful abilities, including the coveted level 10 abilities Call Forth the Fire Dragon (DragonSlayer), Elemental Explosion (Wizard Class), and Ninja Death Strike (Ninja). Additionally, some abilties at Guardian-only class levels such as Divine Magic and Frostbite (both Wizard) are also very useful.

Guardian Shop Edit

Powerful items such as Helmet of the Fallen, Dread Staff of Nihilus, Big Red Button, Fyre Force (both versions), Therions Spike (weapon), Fairy Godmother, and Big Clone (both pets) are only available in the Guardian Shop, which is Guardian-only, accessed through Nimrod.

No Server Cap Edit

Guardians may log in to the game even if all the free slots are full. This is widely regarded as the best perk of becoming a Guardian, and allows a Guardian character to log in anytime he/she desires to (assuming the server is online), regardless of the server limit.

Guardian Blade Edit

Upon upgrading to a Guardian, the Adventurer's no-drop weapon the Long Sword is replaced by the Guardian Blade. This blade is decidedly more powerful than the Long Sword, with a 5% chance on each Attack to summon the Guardian Dragon or the Guardian Dragon Junior.

Guardian Armor Edit

The Adventurer's no-drop armor the Steel Plate is replaced by the Guardian Plate. It has better defense and offense (unlocking a 50% chance of double-hit at character level 40, and a possible triple-hit attack at Level 70.).

Potion Upgrade Edit

Guardians recieve 2 Health Potions and 2 Mana Potions automatically when they log in, in comparison to Adventurers, who only recieve 1 of each potion type. Additionally, Guardians can top-up their potion count to 5 with minimal effort by visiting one of several quests and clicking on the potion bags located there.

In addition, AdventureQuest X-Guardians receive an additional starting Health and Mana Potion, giving a total of 3 starting potions.

Guardian Tower Edit

The Guardian Tower, directly accessible from the main town, acts as a portal for many Guardian-only features. This includes free temporary armors and weapons, among many other items.

Guardian Arena Edit

Only Guardians are able to access the Guardian Arena, which contain 10 challenges. Each challenge is comprised of a series of monster fights, and a few temporary helmets and a guest (the Guardian Angel) are unlocked after certain challenges are completed.

Travel Edit

Some locations can only be accessed by Guardians, such as The Secret in Darkovia Forest. The Crossroads acts as a portal to many other places where interesting challenges can be found, and only Guardians can access it. Adventurers can also access it, but only by a round-about method by creating a Pet Rock pet and giving it to Valencia.

Blade of Awe Edit

The Blade of Awe is one of the strongest Earth Weapons in the game, and when forged by Valencia the Rare Item Hunter, it replaces the Guardian Blade as the Guardian's no-drop weapon. There is a 0.1% chance on each Attack that the Power Word Die special will be performed, killing the monster or group of monsters instantly. There are also various other useful and powerful special attacks, some of which heal your HP or MP.

Dragon Blade Edit

The Dragon Blade is a temporary weapon that triggers against Dragons and Dragonkind and transforms into a very powerful version of itself. In this form, it does Element X (also known as Void Element) damage, thereby bypassing the monster's elemental resistances.

Play ArchKnight and Zardwars Edit

ArchKnight and Zardwars are spin-off games based on AdventureQuest, but they are inferior in many ways to AdventureQuest. Only Guardians are able to play it.

New releases Edit

Guardians also gain access to all future Guardian game content.
