You have been invited to the Annual Masquerade Ball! The dance floor will be open until
11:59pm on June 11 with the
Masquerade Forums closing on June 16.
You can use the following sCode in your status as well as other places to get your friends (or well dressed strangers) to share a dance with you.
Code:
[dance=USERNAME]
Would you rather dance with someone completely random? Try the
Mystery Dance feature. You have a chance of getting all sorts of treats from Mystery Dancing, not just trinkets!
Don't forget, before you step foot on the dance floor you will need a mask.
You will not be able to dance if you are not wearing a mask. What counts as one? Anything with the word 'mask' in the name. Rarity doesn't matter! Stop by the
Migrating Masks to restock a mask or two, there are even some new ones this year!
After accepting a dance, you will receive either Steamworks Trinkets or Lounge Trinkets. The Lounge Trinkets can be used at the
Libertine Lounge where you can rehydrate and fill up on food. The Steamworks Trinkets will allow you to purchase all sorts of goods from the
Steamworks Menagerie.
This is the only wave of items for both shops.


Keep an eye out for Boudewijn while you dance. If you manage to win a duel with him, he’ll give you a bag of trinkets. He won’t actually kill you in a duel, so no worries there!
You need to visit the dance floor after accepting dances to find Boudewijn. You might just notice Boudewijn challenging you more on the floor this year. ;)


Oh, and just a reminder! You have a chance of unlocking the Dancing Steamwork Style achievement when using the
Mystery Dance feature. This achievement will give you the rad Steamwork Masquerade avatar border. When you dance with people you choose (like friends, on threads, etc), you have the chance to unlock the achievement Dancing Rave Style which will give you the bright Rave Masquerade avatar border.
