Halloween is approaching! Perhaps we'll be sneaking even further into the heart of Midgard HQ this year?
Per the last few years, a list of potential things to work on getting prepared for Halloween, based on previous years:
- liquified Eclipse/Slags antidote: For those really in favor of (or against) a crazy etheric Halloween
- juryrigged antenna: We haven't used drone shipping for a couple years now, but it's possible it could come up again and it'd be good to be prepared. Also, might be computer signals if we get into a more office-like area of Midgard HQ.
- Learn the recipe for Silver Courier filtering: See above, but chances are we'll be hitting up the Lobby Mailroom
- Construction materials: Various pieces that may be used for setting up mazes, sound systems, etc.
- polysteel support
- thick cabling
- capacitor array
- shivering capacitors - If you're looking to make things etheric
- magnetic coil
- memory stick
- signal buffer
- steel length - Requires killing the Energized Serpent, so this in particular might take some prep
- hound crystal/artificial hound crystal - These were big specifically in 2019, but if Midgard pokes around in Halloween again there could be some etheric tech going on
- Decorations: Most of these will likely be found as part of the event, or be stockpiled still from previous years, but there may be some stuff that can be prepped in advance
- paper bat: These might be worth less for decoration purposes than something event specific (or not!) but they're likely to be worth at least something for decorating
- Animatronics? It's possible that some previously created items will be usable again, but in this case it's probably best to hang onto your animatronic motors
- foam brick wall/skull pile? Again, simple crafting, so no need to use materials up in advance if you've still got some from prior years.
- decorative webbing can be crafted now, as long as you have some to start with. Craft with silk strands or spider skein to end up with multiple decorative webbing.
- PolyClay: Now that this a thing, it seems like it could certainly be used for more decorations in the future. You can get more by fishing in the Mushroom Forest Of The Garage with high test and salvaging the fused clay you sometimes get.
- dry ice: Can get this from the Lobby Mailroom even when it's not a holiday, and it can make for spooky 'smoke'!
A good idea to train up your Chess skill if you want to hit up Arthur J for clues. Probably a good idea to get your Pickpocketing trained up, too, because that's been a potential source of decoration stuff! You should probably also unlock the elevator in the Parking Garage, or else prepare coffee or food for getting past the Elevator Security Checkpoint if we're going to be heading into Midgard HQ again.
