Live Services Open Tomorrow!

Grab your Service Pass and get ready for an action-packed four days as merchants descend upon Evermore Hollow from Friday, October 16th at noon through Tuesday, October 20th at midnight.

Each Service Pass grants up to 10 live services from working merchants. Pay close attention to each merchant’s Jack-o'-Lantern, which displays crucial details about how that artisan operates.

New This Year

Guide Book Direct Transport: If you own a Guide Book to the Unliving, check the working merchants section. This year, you can use it to transport directly to their workrooms. Best of all, this feature is no longer locked behind a Service Pass, and it works for everyone in your group. (Note: Only group members holding a Service Pass will see merchant-specific messaging).
Saga Integration: Download the latest version of Saga to access the new Ebon Gate window, built specifically to display merchant rules. No more scrolling through game text; the rules pop up the moment you step through a merchant’s door.
Expanded Raffle Verb: Use RAFFLE LIST to check all active raffles, plus new integration that allows you to view Treasure Trove details directly from the command.

Important Reminders

Treasure Trove: Remember to PULL your Service Pass to participate in the Treasure Trove. The preview for the first five items kicks off tonight!
Alter Books: Once the final merchant packs up on October 21st, remember to TEAR your Service Pass to receive an Alter Book. Alter Books start at a base of 5 charges and scale upward if you missed any live services:
  • 10 services claimed: 5 charges
  • 9 services claimed: 6 charges
  • 8 services claimed: 7 charges
  • Unclaimed services continue to convert into bonus book charges using this same formula.

We are hydrated, energized, and ready for an incredible run. See you at the Evermore Hollow!
