Hallow's End: Costumes and Crypts 2026!


From now until midnight on November 31st, we’re running our normal hallow’s end contest – with a twist! For the first time, you can dress up your house for prizes, too!

Submit screenshots according to theme. At the end of the submission period, we’ll hold a public vote on the website. On November 7th, we’ll reveal who the winners of each category are, and who will walk away with the top prizes! 2 categories are transmog-exclusive, and 2 categories are housing-exclusive – but the Urostek and Best in Show are open to ANY submissions!

1st Mythic Boss down in record time

Ministry of Defense is now 1/9 mythic, and we’ve never progressed this fast before. Normally it takes us around 2 months to get our first mythic kill. This took us 4 weeks total, with 11 pulls over 2 nights, which is the fastest we’ve ever gotten a Mythic boss down. Great job team! We’re well on our way to meeting our new goals! We were 3rd to kill Sarkareth on heroic, but we’re currently #2 on the realm for mythic progression. With renewed vigor from the Alliance in Dragonflight, we’re sure to have to work hard to keep our spot on the Aerie Peak leaderboard.

Heroic team progress, plan for several weeks, and recommendations

From the desk of Huge & Sparkles LLC:

Hey team! A very impressive first two weeks as we find our footing in Aberrus! Some highlights include

  • Full Normal Vault slots week 1!
  • Earliest ever team heroic kills week 2!
  • One Mystic (Mage/Hunter/Druid) Tier Token dropped!
  • And many more!

Kidding aside, it’s been a fun start and we just wanted to drop some notes about our plans for the next few weeks so you can chart out your gameplay including mid-week homework and other hobbies, etc.
