Wizard101 Lord Nightshade

I’m late in mentioning the Halloween extravaganza but you have the rest of the month so plenty of time to farm for special pets and gear, do the little Jack Hallow quests (same ones as every year), the Dworgyn Mysterious Cave quest that nets you a Frankenbunny pet (and gives you access to lots of transformations) and the towers in Ravenwood.

Lots of people farm the Stormdrain Tower for special drops.  Many people like it because it’s the easiest one to beat.  But it draws a lot of the nasty players who jump into the circle and cast a spell to kill everybody before the rest of the team has gotten into the circle.  It’s a headscratcher for me that there’s no punishment for that behavior but the victims get penalized by not being able to get on Team Up for 10 minutes because they didn’t participate.

Baron Mordecai (which you get via a quest from Jack Hallow), on the other hand, draws a nicer crowd.  The holiday stuff doesn’t drop as often and the battle is a bit harder, but for some reason most of the higher level folks in there are more inclined to help lower level wizards, including giving them a chance to participate in the fight.  I usually farm there quite a bit just to hang out with nice people.

Loremaster drops the Headless Horseman TC and permanent spell just for this month.  You can get access to Loremaster at any level by porting to a friend outside the dungeon and picking up the quest from the Loremaster NPC outside the dungeon.

I don’t have much to do with Monstrology but one of the things I enjoyed most last year was farming the Mysterious Cave for animus until I had enough to make a Nosferabbit.  I planted him near the entry of Morgan’s Red Barn farm so he comes up to loom over her every time she enters — usually while she’s at the Bank — and I never cease to get a kick out of it.

Usually the B.O.X.E.S. and the Lost Pages show up at some point during the month but not sure if that’s in the plans this time.  You can buy most all the special holiday items for Crowns from Spooky Bob in the Shopping District but really if you’re willing to farm, you can get most of it for free.  Should be a month of fun!
