 Fallon & Jack Hollow (https://www.wizard101.com/game/newsletter)
If you haven’t had a chance to read the latest newsletter, here is some of the info!
 October brings with it a change in the air. Ambrose and his Faculty have brought the ancient tradition of Hallowe’en with them to the Spiral again this year.
October marks both an ending and a beginning in an eternal cycle, which is something we understand here at the School of Death. Death’s power comes from the removing of order from the universe at large. Withdrawing the power of order and allowing chaos to return instills Necromancers to bend magic to their will.
Jack Hallow in the Ravenwood Commons has special quests for young Wizards and there’s a new tower in Ravenwood that he will ask you to explore. Spooky Bob has returned to the Ravenwood Shopping District with all sorts of Hallowe’en items for you to purchase. Please note if you completed these quests during the last Hallowe’en event, you will not be offered these quests again, but you can still enter the tower in Ravenwood.

Mounts to arrive MID-OCTOBER!
 Do you think you know everything about the Spiral? Well Merle is asking some very tough questions on his Twitter Channel.
If you think you know the answer, re-Tweet it, but be very careful, these are difficult questions that few players have answered correctly! Merle will Tweet the answer the next week day (weekends excluded) so brush up on your Spiral trivia, and see if you can answer his questions.
I went on a shopping spree for the entire family! We got pumpkin masks and black kitties and sweet new staffs and lots of other goodies. Have you gotten a new Halloween costume yet? Post your pictures on ConnectX!! I would love to see what festive costume you’ve out together.
 My New Halloween Costume & My Vampire Buddy There is lots of fun to be had in the new haunted city. Valdus scored a nice Wraith Statue and a Marleybone Camping tent from the final tower in Ravenwood. I won a Dead Briar Tree. So it looks like there are some rare drops that are AWESOME!
 Wraith Statue  Valdus inside his Marleybone Camping Tent!  Use the MB Tent as an extra room outdoors! Have fun my awesome wizard friends! Let’s save Wizard City from this spooky Halloween takeover.

Dear Malistaire,
You must have known that someone was coming for you. Your wicked ways have troubled the Spiral for too long.
 Malistaire Vows Revenge In your haste to punish me, you lost your Ebon Robe along with a painting that you Ruined! I believe it was once a painting of you.
 Ruined Painting - Crowns Item Dropped by Malistaire You and I have battled many times before, and you sir have always been STINGY when it comes to getting drops that I can use!
 Malistaire - Super Nemesis However, this weekend, it seems your defenses were weakened. I was determined to steal your robes as soon as you were distracted. It was too easy this time.
 Perfect Distraction After a crushing defeat, I returned to Wizard City with your beloved Ebon Robe…and a SMILE on my face.
 Grandmaster Robe from Malistaire I guess this is where I say Thank You. Maybe you will keep both eyes open next time and you won’t get robbed. Don’t worry Mr. zombie, I have a feeling we will meet again and again. Next time, I won’t be so nice.
Sincerely,
Fallon Shadowblade

It certainly was a busy weekend defending the Spiral. A few friends dropped by Sunday night and I had an impromptu Tour Party at my mansion in Dragonspyre. Leala Turkey (@epicdolls) dropped by with her wizard Leesha Darkheart, a fellow Death student, and her husband Beau (@spouseaggro) brought Cass Lionrunner to visit!
On a side note: Wizard101 needs a way to block people from your home. I had the unpleasant experience of children with foul mouths last night. The friends I wanted there ported to me, and then that’s when it happened….other people ported and then MORE people ported. It was ok…at FIRST. Then, these kids were being really rude and I had NO way of getting them out of my home once they were there. I even left and came back and they were there. I was quite embarassed when Leala & Beau showed up with these hooligans running around my house. It was certainly NOT typical. Hopefully, we can visit again though! Ok, rant done. 
 I want Goodies! This week will begin the festivities here at Diary of a Wizard and ConnectX! Announcements coming soon regarding contests, giveaways, Meet & Greets, and LOTS more for October. I love Halloween!

Testing phase is complete and the updates for the Bazaar are now live on Wizard101. Here is a message direct from the faculty at Ravenwood regarding the latest changes to the Bazaar.
New Bazaar!
Elik has updated his Bazaar in Olde Town. The new Bazaar allows players to sort items based on name, quantity, school, level and cost.
When you first arrive at the Bazaar, everything will be sorted by name. As you can see from the following picture, there’s a yellow arrow under the word ‘Name’. Click the word Name to sort from A to Z or Z to A.
 Sort by NAME If you’d prefer to sort by the quantity of an item, click the top of the column with the # sign. You can sort from high to low, or low to high.
 Sort by QUANTITY If you’d prefer to sort by level, click the letters LVL at the top of the column. Again you can sort from high to low, or low to high.
 Sort by LEVEL If you’d prefer to sort by school, click the top of the SCH column. A small spiral image indicates the item can be used by any school.
 Sort by SCHOOL Finally, if you’d prefer to sort by cost you can do so by clicking on the top of the column with the word Cost. You can sort from high to low and low to high.
 Sort by COST If you only want to see items that your current character can use at this time, select the Usable checkbox in the lower right corner of the window. This will filter out all items that you cannot currently use due to level or school restrictions.
We all hope that you will find shopping at the new and improved Bazaar an easier and faster experience.
So, I am off to shop, shop, shop! I think you all will be very pleased with the updates. Let me know what you think!
