BONUS: ArchFiend DoomLord Armor Update

ArchFiend DoomLord's damage boost has been underwhelming when compared to some of the more recent damage boosting items, so we're bumping it up! Damage to all monsters boost increased from 15% to 35%. (Other DoomLord items will remain unchanged.)

Not sure who Nulgath is? Read on!

Nulgath the ArchFiend is the in-game persona for Nulgath-the-team-member, one of AQWorlds' original artists. Though he no longer works regularly for Artix Entertainment, his art style (prevalent in early AQW and featured in Oversoul) and the character itself remain hugely popular with many of our long-time heroes. To recognize their dedication and enjoyment, we hold an event in-game each year to celebrate the character and give them a hefty dose of the gear they love.
