In the ever-expanding world of AdventureQuest Worlds, player creativity knows no bounds. This week, we shine the spotlight on The Monstrocity, an awe-inspiring (and lag-inducing) player house built by Kuronosuke. This architectural marvel isn’t just a house—it’s a testament to patience, determination, and an absurdly high item count!
It all started out of boredom—because what better motivation is there? AQW offers soooo many house items, and Kuronosuke decided to take on the ultimate challenge:
farming 99 copies of the Debris Gravestone, an item with a 1% drop rate!! O__O
After grinding tirelessly and flexing the achievement on the AQW subreddit (here’s the proof), the question arose:
“What if I actually used these?”
Thus, The Monstrocity was born. Kuronosuke set out to create a home that not only utilized these gravestones but also tested the limits of AQW’s housing system. However, the dream of placing all 99 gravestones quickly met reality—only around 20 made it into the final design.
“It was just way too many,” Kuronosuke admitted. “I think I only put in about 20 before realizing it was a bit much.”
But that wasn’t the end of the experiment. The next phase of boredom-fueled inspiration led to the creation of additional rooms, each with a distinct identity.
The final product? A three-room masterpiece featuring:
Room 1: The Spotlight Room – The grand entrance, showcasing and foreshadowing the chaos.
Room 2: The Lag Room – A true stress test for AQW’s housing system, packed with over 200+ items and notorious for its insane lag. “It took me four hours to put everything together because of the crazy lag in room 2,” Kuronosuke confessed.
Room 3: The King’s Room – A fittingly grand chamber for the ruler of The Monstrocity.
Building The Monstrocity was no small feat. The sheer number of placed items pushed AQW’s limits, causing intense lag, especially in Room 2. The process took four hours, not due to design challenges, but because of the game itself struggling to keep up.
“I simply made this house to test if AQW could handle the super lagginess, but I eventually disconnected after /afk-ing in the second room for almost 40 minutes,” Kuronosuke revealed. In fact, that accidental disconnection became a badge of honor in its own right!
Would you call The Monstrocity a house? It’s more like an experiment, a passion project, and a hilarious challenge to the game’s stability. From the grind to the build, Kuronosuke has proven that dedication (and maybe a touch of madness) can result in something truly unique.
Whether you visit to admire the design or just to test how long you can survive the lag, this player house is one for the history books!
Dare to take on The Monstrocity? Drop by if you’re feeling brave… but don’t say we didn’t warn you!
Battle on,
Beleen, Kuronosuke, and the AQW team
