===Guardianship===
Guardianship, which can be purchased for a one-time fee of $19.95, gives players access to premium content. This fee goes toward the maintenance of the game and its servers.<ref name=":0">{{cite web |url=http://www.battleon.com/aq-guardian.asp |title=AdventureQuest - Guardian Upgrade |publisher=Battleon.com |access-date=2011-09-28 |archive-date=2011-09-27 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110927221146/http://www.battleon.com/aq-guardian.asp |url-status=live }}</ref> Guardians can reach a maximum level of 150 while adventurers can reach a maximum level of 135. It also boosts the player's Z-Token count by 1000. Players can also go to more locations in the game that adventurers can't, such as the Guardian Tower.<ref name="forums2.battleon.com">{{cite web |url=http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=13604497 |title=AdventureQuest Guardian Upgrade - Full List of Guardian Content |publisher=Forums2.battleon.com |access-date=2011-09-28 |archive-date=2011-09-28 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110928051238/http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=13604497 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref name="battleon2">{{cite web|url=http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=15348788 |date=2009-02-19 |access-date=2012-10-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090219232559/http://forums2.battleon.com/f/tm.asp?m=15348788 |archive-date=February 19, 2009 |title=AQ= Free Z-Tokens for all Guardian Characters}}</ref> Furthermore, guardians can unlock quests and items that are not for adventurers.<ref name=":0" /> Other exclusives include the ability to create an account for ''ArchKnight'' and ''ZardWars'', which are similar side-games that are also developed by Artix Entertainment. Furthermore, players can upgrade to another form of membership known as the X-Guardian, which gives even more in-game advantages, such as faster XP gain.

=== Z-Tokens ===
[[File:ZTokens.PNG|thumb|150px]]
Introduced in June 2006, Money or Z-Tokens are rare coins in ''AdventureQuest'' that are occasionally found after winning a battle. Players may also purchase Z-Tokens with real-world money.<ref name="forums2.battleon.com"/><ref name="battleon2"/><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.battleon.com/aq-tokens.asp|title=Adventure Quest: Z-Tokens|website=www.battleon.com|access-date=2016-04-29|archive-date=2016-04-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160429010337/http://www.battleon.com/aq-tokens.asp|url-status=live}}</ref> Players may use Z-Tokens to buy shields, armor, weapons, pets, and items. These Z-Token-bought combat items tend to be more powerful than normal items of the same level, and can be purchased at a relatively lower player level. Players may also purchase inventory slots with Z-Tokens, or trade them for in-game gold. A special shop called the Limited Time Shop offers mostly Z-Token equipment, usually either discounted or soon-to-be rare.
