AQ Season 8.5

Greetings Summoners!

With the Season 8.5 update, you’ll find that a number of Linked Nodes on all Maps have been removed and some added!

To give players a chance to make more of an impact on the Map without waiting for others, all Linked Nodes that do not connect to a Mini-Boss or Final boss, have been removed from the Map. Any paths that were not previously linked to a Boss will now have link nodes added to them.

Season 8.5 kicks off on April 10, 2021! We hope this makes Alliance Quests a more enjoyable experience for all Summoners.
