Editing Hallowmas (Guide)

{{Audience|EarlyMYN|Evergreen=yes}}[[File:Foxmask hallowmas.png|thumb]]
{{GuideFor|Concept=Concept:Hallowmas}}{{Hallowmas}}
''A damp fog fills London’s streets. Londoners of all stripes lurk in its concealment: masked, cloaked, triply hidden. It is the season of Hallowmas, of the commission and purging of sin. Londoners seek out the Attendants – the masked representatives of the Bazaar – to be shriven.''

'''Hallowmas''' is Fallen London's annual feast of masks and confessions. Hallowmas starts roughly a week before Halloween and ends a week afterwards.

During the festival, you can:
*Collect '''[[Hallowmas (Guide)#Confessions|Confessions]]''', which can be handed in to the Attendants to upgrade certain [[Hallowmas (Guide)#Companions and Items|Companions]]
*Attend '''[[Hallowmas (Guide)#Masques|Hallowmas Masques]]''', where certain Confessions can be swapped and Menaces can be raised
*Relinquish '''[[Hallowmas (Guide)#Menaces|Menaces]]''' to the Fool's Apostate in exchange for {{IL|Spirit of Hallowmas}}, for later [[Hallowmas (Guide)#Rewards|rewards]]
==Masks==
[[File:Masks visage.png|right|frameless]]''At Hallowmas, Londoners wear masks. Those in the know will wish to pick a very particular mask. Three have particular import.''

Each year, three of the four [[Obtain a Mask|different Masks]] are available to wear. The ones available in 2023 are {{IL|The Demon}}, {{IL|The Infant}}, and {{Il|The Crown}}. They grant stat bonuses and can cause an opportunity card to appear while worn during Hallowmas. Masks will become tattered and useless (except as a memento) by the end of the festival, unless you choose to purchase a gilded one for {{FontFate}}.

Each mask grants you free entry to one of the '''Hallowmas Masques''' via an opportunity card. While attending a Masque with its associated Mask, a particularly lucrative option will be available to raise the associated '''Menace'''. When the Menace reaches 7, it can be [[The Fool's Judgement|relinquished to The Fool's Apostate]] in exchange for Spirit of Hallowmas.

The main reason to choose a particular Mask is to make it easier to raise a particular Menace, due to the privileges the Mask grants at its affiliated Masque.

''The Fool's Apostate is the arbiter of Hallowmas. He judges whether Londoners have adequately entered the spirit of the festival.''

Three Menaces are part of the Hallowmas festivities every year. The Menaces for 2023 are {{Il|Scandal}}, {{Il|Wounds}}, and {{Il|Suspicion}} ({{Il|Nightmares}} could not be turned in).

Menaces can be raised at [[Hallowmas (Guide)#Masques|Hallowmas Masques]], or in any of the usual ways. See [[Menaces (Guide)]] for Menace-raising strategies.

When one of this year's Menaces reaches level 7, a storylet will appear: [[The Fool's Judgement]], where you can trade all of that Menace to The Fool's Apostate and receive {{IL|Spirit of Hallowmas|28 x}}. This can be traded in at the end of the festival for [[Hallowmas (Guide)#Rewards|rewards]] of valuable items. Additionally, the Menace you turn in the most of will grant you a particular [[Hallowmas (Guide)#Affiliations|Affiliation]]. 

'''''Note:''' The Fool's Judgement is not an autofire storylet; you will have to leave any storylet you are currently in, and then click on The Fool's Judgement. Don't get distracted and overshoot, as you will be sent to the associated Menace area if it reaches 8! (This isn't as punishing as it would otherwise be, as during Hallowmas there are cards which let you return to London with 5 levels of menace remaining.)''

You can track your {{IL|Spirit of Hallowmas}} on the Myself page, under Stories. The quantity of individual Menaces you turn in are tracked by [[Fallen London Wiki:IDs and Hidden Qualities|hidden qualities]].

==Confessions==
[[File:Gossip.png|alt=|right|frameless]]''Bring Confessions to the Attendants to upgrade certain Companions, improving their stat bonuses.''

Confessions are released throughout the festival: seven at the beginning, and seven more a week later. You will get a random assortment of the available Confessions: {{Il|A Confession of Curiosity|Appearance=Curiosity}}, {{Il|A Confession of Guile|Appearance=Guile}}, {{Il|A Confession of Impropriety|Appearance=Impropriety}}, {{Il|A Confession of Pride|Appearance=Pride}}, {{Il|A Confession of Violence|Appearance=Violence}}, and {{Il|A Confession of Whimsy|Appearance=Whimsy}}. Different combinations of Confessions can be traded to the Attendants in order to upgrade certain Companions. Different companions are upgradeable each year.
===Sources===
*[[Procure A Mysterious Confession]]: Seven free Confessions are given out on the first day of Hallowmas, and seven more a week later on 31 October.
*{{FontFate}}: [[Purchase another Mysterious Confession (15 FATE)]].
*[[Trade confessions with another player]]: You can trade any Confession you have for any Confession one of your [[Social Actions (Guide)|Contacts]] has, assuming they accept the trade. (The request will appear in their Messages tab.)
*Exchange Confessions at Masques (discussed below).
At the end of Hallowmas, you can turn in leftover Confessions at [[Hallowmas: The Fool's Justice|The Fool's Justice]]. Any Confessions you hold onto after Hallowmas will disappear when next Hallowmas begins; they cannot be saved from year to year.

==Masques==
[[File:Dance.png|alt=|right|frameless]]''During Hallowmas, three Balls will be held in different locations across London. Attendance is by invitation only.''

The Masques appear as storylets, with a [[Raising Favours (Guide)|Favour]] required for entry. At each Masque, different options are available depending on {{Il|Airs of the Hallowmas Season}} (which changes randomly with each action you take). These allow you to obtain small rewards, raise that Masque's associated Menace, and swap certain Confessions for others.
=== Attending the Masques===

(Confessions can also be exchanged via social actions: [[Trade confessions with another player]] who has the one you need.)

What to do with all these Confessions? [[Seek out the Attendants]], and hand in your Confessions to upgrade certain Companions you may have acquired.

==Companions and Items==
[[File:Weaselassassin.png|alt=|right|frameless]]''At Hallowmas, specific combinations of the Confessions can be brought to the Attendants. If you have a certain Companion, these Confession combinations can be used to upgrade that Companion to a superior, Hallowmas version of that Companion.''

===Obtaining Companions===
''See [[Hallowmas (Guide)/Item Comparison]] for a detailed breakdown of stats and uses for Hallowmas items''

When Hallowmas begins each year, a new Companion joins you. This year, you'll meet the {{IL|Acerbic Clay Man}}, who can also be upgraded this year using Confessions. [[Speak of Hallowmas past; acquire companions|Other past companions can be acquired for Fate]].

This year's freely available companions:
*{{IL|Acerbic Clay Man}}, {{Il|Shadowy}} +3 {{IL|Persuasive}} +3
*{{IL|Weary Wayfinder}}, {{Il|Shadowy}} +5
*{{IL|Rubbery Newcomer}}, {{Il|Watchful}} +3, {{Il|Bizarre}} +1
The many, ''many'' companions from Hallowmases past, available this year for Fate, may be perused at [[Let Slivvy Speak]].

===Upgrading Companions===
If you have certain Companions already, the right combination of Confessions will allow you to upgrade them. 

'''''Note:''''' ''The information under Uses will be filled in as uses for the new Companions are discovered.''

==Rewards==
[[File:Foxmask hallowmas.png|alt=|right|frameless]]
When the Hallowmas revelries come to an end, you will encounter a universal storylet named [[Hallowmas: The Fool's Justice]]. Here, your [[Spirit of Hallowmas]] may be traded in for a variety of rewards, and you will receive a gift from one of the leaders of the Masques depending on which Menace you submitted most often.

===Spirit of Hallowmas===
Each reward costs a certain number of {{Il|Spirit of Hallowmas}}. You can spend your Spirit however you want—take the highest-tier reward, and then smaller rewards to spend whatever you have remaining, or opt for more of the smaller rewards. For example, 1600 Spirit could be spent as 1000 + 500 + 100, or 3(500) + 100, or 16(100), etc.

Any [[Spirit of Hallowmas]] above 2500 will be converted into '''CP''' for the [[The Knight of Hallowmas]] vanity quality at a ratio of 20:1 (in other words, plug the result of <code>(Spirit of Hallowmas - 2500) / 20</code> into the [[CP Calculator]] as your CP gain). Obtaining this quality sets your Spirit to 2499, which you can then spend as you wish on the other rewards.

==Visitors==
A smaller activity that can be done is [[Attract_a_Visitor_at_Hallowmas|attracting a visitor]]. Most of the actions are rather unremarkable, trading an action and some low value items for nightmares and making waves, which are consequently what you need 5 of both to draw the Visitors at Hallowmas card. The option [[Open a window to the night air]] cycles the airs for an action. There are however 2 options here that are of note:
*[[Attend a lecture on 'spiritual hygiene' (7 FATE)]] will sell your soul and either provide a T7 item, or a {{IL|Vial of Cantigaster Venom}}, which is a shared best-in-slot Kataleptic Toxicology item, though there are nonfate ways to obtain this.
**Requires {{IL|The Airs of London}} 32-35
*[[Feeding the River]] is the only way to raise {{IL|Putting the Pieces Together: the Drownies}} up to 3.
**Requires {{IL|Putting the Pieces Together: the Drownies}} 1
**Requires {{IL|The Airs of London}} 90-100
