Site Update
"I suppose I can take a break from stealing your candy to give you some updates!"
The moon rises over a winding road that leads to a fork in the road. As if by magic, a path clears leading towards the shining surface of the Haunted Lake. It looks like the Haunted Lake will be the seasonal region this year!
While visiting the Haunted Lake, be sure to collect any Melo Pumpkins or Halloween Pumpkins you may find. As always, they will be useful later in the month. You will also find that there are returning faces to the Haunted Lake as well as new ones! They can't wait to meet you and join your lair - they love having new places to haunt!
For those of you who wish to kick up your Trick or Treating just a notch, then Querel has a new store for you! The Bubbling Cauldron is stocked full with spells to help you on your Trick or Treat adventure!
A few short notes about the new shop! Hovering over the spell's icon will show you details as to what the spell does. All spells in Querel's shop cost spell points and require a certain amount of Karma. Spell Points are accrued when you fulfill the requests of visitors at your door. Karma is not a currency and will not be lost upon purchasing a spell, but a certain amount of it is necessary as a requirement for purchase. Please note that there are two types of karma - trick and treat - and the spells will tell you what type they require.
Additionally, you may have noticed that the Site Characters have been paying you Trick or Treat visits. It may benefit you to return the favor. Who knows what tricks and treats you may find!
Those of you familiar with our usual Halloween garden will find that it's had an update this year! This year the seasonal magic has brought you Minerva's Greenhouse!
Minerva's Greenhouse is a little different in that you will be able to directly harvest the plants you wish to obtain for Rowan's Potion Brewing, Frankenstein's Lab, and Custom Cauldron. However, underneath each plant you will find a "Success Chance". This chance will decrease the more you harvest, which increases the odds of Minerva catching you.
If Minerva catches you, your success chance will drop to 0% and you will be unable to harvest for a period of time. Your success chance will restore over time, giving you another chance to evade Minerva for those goods she's been hoarding in that greenhouse!
As a smaller update, the returning features of Rowan's Potion Brewing and Frankenstein's Lab will be releasing/updating with new stock very soon! A news post will come when that update is finished.
As for the much anticipated Custom Cauldron, you can expect that as well a bit later this month. We want to make sure that everyone has a chance to stockpile the necessary ingredients!

Fuzzball (#34146) I found one using the psychic call skill, but other than that I have not seen any of the new pets either.

ChaosAzeroth (#43055) catdogesq (#68393) They're in there. The issue that originally affected the new pets affected the pumpkins too. The fix applied to both, so they're there.

Swee-ee-eet! Can't wait to check out the new Shop! ... Also, are the News notifications broken? I haven't gotten one in over a week and I don't always remember to check the News.
