It’s time to celebrate Scouts!
 
This is the time of year when Scouts celebrate the Silent Days – days set aside to go hunting in the wilderness with their apprentices to practice their scouting abilities.
 
The Holiday Committee recognizes this holiday as well and their officials in Novograd and Nezebgrad will gladly offer Scouts unique vanity items in exchange for Special Holiday Coins.
 
Scouts can purchase one of four vanity items. Vanity items offer no stats and are equipped in the extra vanity slots at the bottom of your character screen. They replace or add their own appearance over the armor you are wearing.
 

 

 

 
In addition to these vanity items, Scouts can purchase a consumable Potion of Disguise that will grant them a temporary disguise buff to help them blend in with their surroundings.
 

 
These fun items can be traded to other players but can only be purchased by Scouts during this holiday. We hope you enjoy these new items and look forward to more events celebrating the diverse classes, races, and professions of Sarnaut.
 

 
 

 
Last seen almost a year ago, this impressive mount has returned for a short time!
 
Like other lions, the Golden Lion is a Rank 2 mount that starts at a base 7.25 yards per second. Using the Golden Lion will add it to your stable as both a mount, or if you already have a lion mount you will be able to use the Golden Lion pattern for it.
 
The Golden Lion can be purchased in the Item Shop. Like other mounts, it will require mount feed that can be obtained from daily quests or from the Item Shop in order to gain levels and travel at its maximum speed.
 
This lion will only be available for a short time, so get yours today!

 
It’s another month of MAP, our Monthly Allods Program – Your MAP to rewards!
 
At the end of each month we will put together a list of each account that has spent at least 1500 gPotatoes in the Allods Item Shop. Each of those accounts will receive a special item to thank you for your support of the game.
 
Each month the reward will be different.
 
For November, we are going to give out the Fur Hood! This Fur Hood is a vanity item for your head that will appear over your equipped armor:
 
 

The Fur Hood appears as a bear hood for male characters…
 

…and as a cat hood for female characters!

 
The Fur Hood is not bound and can be traded to other players.
 
Remember, for the month of November we will be counting from November 1 through November 30 for the minimum 1500 gPotatoes you need to spend in the Allods Item Shop to qualify for the Monthly Allods Promotion.
 
The MAP rewards will be sent out via in-game mail during the first week of the next month. So, November’s MAP rewards will be sent out within the first couple of weeks in December.
 
* Keep in mind that these MAP rewards are exclusives at the time that we release them for MAP. However, they may or may not remain exclusives for the MAP program forever. These items can be released at a later time for other promotions/events.

 
Earlier today we were in a live stream with Beau from Massively where we covered the mechanics of the new Summerhold skirmish in the recent Patch 3.0.5 release. We also shed some light on general strategies amongst the four playable vehicles that you can choose in Summerhold.
 
Thanks to everyone who was part of our raid and it was lots of fun taking down the M4-U23 boss. With two skirmishes during the stream, we improved and blasted down the boss on our second attempt faster! Now that’s teamwork!
 
You can check out the stream here in case you missed it earlier.
 

 
We’ve got some special Halloween Vanity items this year!
 
In the Item Shop there are three new items, a new vanity helm, shoulder, and back piece! These vanity items will help you look your ghouliest this Halloween, so be sure to dress up!
 

 

 

Spooky Mask on a male character.
 

Spooky Mask on a female character.
 

 
Vanity items can be worn in addition to your armor and do not provide any additional stats.
 
We hope this helps bring the holiday spirit to Sarnaut and that you have a safe Halloween!

 
So far we have given you previews for the upcoming user interface changes, the Xadaganian female makeover, and the Galant Sweep.
 
There are more previews to come though. We have new things coming to Allods that we’re just itching to tell you about and tomorrow, Wednesday 10/17, you’ll get your next patch preview.
 
But the winds of change are coming and they refuse to be held back. We are proud to announce that patch 3.0.5 “Autumn Wind” will be arriving on October 30th!
 
In the meantime, keep on the lookout for more patch previews and events the Allods Team has in store for you until “Autumn Wind” blows into town.
