Masquerade Challengers

Have you been keeping the various Gossips fed and hydrated? Unfortunately, you've taken that job away from the Hacked Waitron, causing her to malfunction. Instead of helping, she's ready to fight. To unlock: Give 1,000 food and/or drinks to the NPCs and then visit the Ballroom.

Security is intense in the ballroom. The Ballroom Enforcer finds dancing with the gossips pretty suspicious, so get ready for a battle if you do. To unluck: Dance with all five gossips and then visit the Ballroom.

Not enough battling for you? Take a break from the floor to fight older challengers like Blaire, the Mecharachnid, Baron Blanaby, and more!

Are you guys aware, that there is a life outside of Subeta - you know, work, sleep, etc. How should we get all of this done? How long will the challengers be around? And the Horde doesn't seem to work as hoped - 2 challengers for a ton of preparation for each fight seems a lot more time consuming than hammering away one by one...

Go to the Masquerade Forums and look for dancing threads with NPCs in them. (Here is one as an example).

So I just noticed that quests reset. Are we allowed to do them again or should we wait? I asked elsewhere but didn't get an answer.

Got the enforcer beat OK but probably won't get the maid since I can't see giving 1K food & drink any time soon.

Allowing us to bulk buy some of the cheaper food and drink from Libertine Lounge would be super helpful right now - trying to buy 900 ish of each to hit the 1k tier for both is tiring. My fingers don't want to click anymore lol

Is there any new loot for the old challengers? If not I probably won't have time to fight them between dancing and fighting.

Not each! You can do a mix of them. That's the and/or bit. You could do like 800 food and 200 drinks or all drinks. Whatever works for you!

The artwork is amazing on the new challengers! Just a quick question, is anyone else having lag? I rebooted and checked my internet speed. All seems to be good on my end, but I am techno challenged, so thought I better double check if it is me or the site.

a combination! Could be 999 drinks and 1 food, or 500 of each. A little better, I hope ;)

Yep, just join one of the newer ballrooms where you see NPCs listed as possible dancers and the rest is automatic :D

Oh, wow... I am really into battling and believe I've gotten all available permanent opponents (until now). I don't.... really want to spend tons of time feeding NPCs; that doesn't sound so fun. But it looks like we have to to unlock the ticked off robot. So... do we necessarily need to buy food and drink from the menagerie/lounge, or will purchasing regular food/drink for sP work?

Also, it says shows I've danced with the five NPCs and I'm currently in the ballroom, but the security robot has not challenged me. What do I need to do?

Try dancing with at least one more NPC to unlock it. Like me, you may have gotten the separate achievements from dancing with them years ago, but the combined achievement is much newer so it needs a recent dance with one of them to unlock it.

While I have all "Dance with gossips" unlocked, I don't have the combined one unlocked, is there anything special I have to do for that?
