TIME TO DANCE

Let's hope you prepared well because it's officially time for the Annual Masquerade Ball!! The dance floor is open to all those with masks until 11:59pm on June 11. The Masquerade Forums will close on June 16!

You can use the following sCode in your status and other places to have various people share a dance with you.

Code:

[dance=USERNAME]

Want to shake things up and dance with someone completely random? Try your hand at the Mystery Dance feature. You have the chance to get more than just trinkets from these dances!

The most important thing (other than wearing comfortable shoes) is to have a mask on. After all, this is a Masquerade! You won't be able to request or accept dances without a mask. Any item with the word 'mask' counts towards this, no rarity requirements. In need of a mask? Stop by Migrating Masks to restock a few fashionable masks from previous years or try to grab a newly released mask!

How many times can we put mask in this news post?

After you accept a dance, you will receive either Steamworks Trinkets or Lounge Trinkets as a parting gift. The Lounge Trinkets can be used at the Libertine Lounge where you can take a break and fill up on delicious foods and drinks. The Steamworks Trinkets will allow you to purchase a wide range of goods from the Steamworks Menagerie.

This is the only wave of items for BOTH shops. Enjoy!

Keep an eye out for the dastardly Boudewijn while dancing. If you manage to win a duel with him, he'll be forced to give you a bag of trinkets. Don't worry; he won't actually kill you in a duel or anything. Maybe slightly maim. Nothing a good drink can't fix.

You need to visit the dance floor after accepting a dance to find Boudewijn.

Last but not least, there are two avatar borders you have a chance of getting while dancing. The Steamwork Masquerade avatar border comes from using the Mystery Dance feature while the Dancing Rave Style comes from dancing with anyone you choose. These are not guaranteed, so you may have to dance a lot to get one.

Tammynoneed20 @ 05/29/24 2:26 pm

@Amber I just got 25 csc from mystery dancing I though that you stopped giving it out thank you so much for not stopping the awesome surprise *runs off to dance some more*

0

Amber @ 05/29/24 2:21 pm STAFF

It's already very nice of us giving any CSC at all ;) @Tammynoneed20

On the duels: The odds aren't as bad as they have been in previous years. Just because you dance a lot of days doesn't mean you'll be guaranteed a duel, though.

The holiday is long, we'll have the battle opponents soon :) Potentially a new one even.

Kamil @ 05/29/24 2:06 pm

@StarShadow I’ve got four days of dancing, checking the floor after every invitation to dance, and zero duels lol.

0

StarShadow @ 05/29/24 1:03 pm

4 days of dancing & only 1 duel. Was hoping for better chances this year. And wish the dance floor problem could be fixed. All my friend dances only show my old HA that I made when masq started instead of the current one.

Tammynoneed20 @ 05/29/24 4:09 am

I wish we got more csc with dances I got it 25 csc once

Sad @ 05/28/24 7:05 pm

May I have this dance?

0

Kamil @ 05/28/24 1:38 pm

I’m co-signing the multiple wishes for battle opponents. The hydras would be great since wins reset, easier too no doubt, but new opponents would be fantastic. What am I saying? Any opponents would be fantastic lol. 🔪🗡️🔪💯

1

StarShadow @ 05/28/24 11:59 am

This is odd. The mystery dances are showing my current outfit but dances with friends keeps showing the old one. Strange.
@Aishatonu It will show up in your event side bar & just click accept invite

2

ColdDragon @ 05/28/24 11:57 am

Hope the panzer hydras will make an appearance. Been less into battle since the push to get all battles done before the reset ended. Or maybe I was just exhausted and now recharged and ready to go.

2

Aishatonu @ 05/28/24 11:20 am

How do I accept someone else's dance?

0

StarShadow @ 05/28/24 12:53 am

Looks like we are having the same problem that came up last year, the dance floor is showing my old HA not the current one I have on now. I change my outfit every day for masquerade & it's disappointing that no one will see the new ones. Hope someone can fit this this year. Thanks.

Hopefully I can get the Steamworks border this year. Fingers crossed!

Thank you so much! I really cant remember xDD

Amber @ 05/27/24 12:04 am STAFF

@Mackenzi The first few years of Masq, we had to manually tag a lot of items as 'masks'. We ended up changing the system to just be anything with 'mask' in the name. :) It was easier on everyone to know which items worked and which didn't.

Jess @ 05/27/24 12:01 am

@Kaiidth Those bags weren’t created until a number of years later so they’re at the bottom of the 2018 tab!

1

Kaiidth @ 05/26/24 9:51 pm

I can't find the token bags in the Steamworks menagerie, its 20122 in the lounge but not in the other. Does anyone know where it is?

Pretzels @ 05/26/24 9:48 pm

Happy Masquerade, everyone! Thank you for the random dance option. I like the dancing, but the direct option makes me a bit anxious with the way my autism and anxiety affects me, so it's really nice to still be involved. That comment about how many times can you say mask on the post actually made me laugh out loud =D Also, lots of great items, as usual. I got Rave Lurby =]

&, for everyone; don't forget to refresh this page until you've accepted them all! Please don't just go by the side bar notifications. ♥️

Also, Boudewijn will only show up on the dances you send & accept ballroom pages; he does NOT on the Mystery dance page.

Sorry I meant that for @Laurey. Please read below.

0

Jinjah @ 05/26/24 7:00 pm

@Mackenzi you could put any wearable mask item below the base in the wardrobe and wear the item without the word mask above the base. Use a small mask such as the Blue Eye Mask and put it beneath the base, then wear the face covering you want to use, or no mask at all if you prefer. As long as it's beneath the base it will work the way you want it to look.

Ryuu @ 05/26/24 5:58 pm

You can do Mystery & Regular Dances at the same time!

People tend to get confused about this, but they're on separate timers & there's zero reason not to, so I wanted to be sure to mention it! You can even be awarded CSC from Mystery Dances too.

Anyway. Love just so many things this year; all the wonderful foods, the eye patch masks, the dusters, the pigments, & especially appreciate the carbide lamp on the mining hats~ The artists did a great job this year (like every year!). ♥️♥️♥️
_{I'm going to eat so many rocks. haha.}

Mackenzi @ 05/26/24 5:57 pm

@Laurey I guess I thought for some reason we were adding non-"mask" masks (hasn't that happened in the past?) but maybe that's something we can do with the new tag system, fingers crossed.

@Thia tbh, unless i'm missing something, there seems there's barely any wardrobe items on the cyberpunk side this year. And that makes me sad.

Do NOT forget to mystery dance if you need trinkets.

"It was such a great dance, you've both been given a Gold Bag of Steamworks Trinkets!"

@Mackenzi
Because it doesn't have "mask" in the name. But you can find a small mask to wear behind your base layer and then put that item in front of your base for the mask look while still being able to dance.
