BONE MASK OF HORROR
This quest is for an illusion mask that will make you look like a Frostbone-style Skeleton.
The mask has decent stats and is useful in resizing yourself (this illusion will overwrite shrink effects).
It is obtained via a series of five tasks/missions and you may need assistance for some of them.
This is a seasonal set of five (5) tasks/missions that may or may not be available, during the annual Halloween events.
It was originally added with the 2005 Halloween events.
NOTE: There are several versions of this mask that are level related. The task outlined below is for the high end mask (Required Level 60). If you do the tasks at lower levels, you will get a lesser but similar mask of a slightly different name and with lesser stats.
The lower level masks are called the Dusty Bone Mask of Horror (Recommended Level 10), Cracked Bone Mask of Horror (Required Level 10), Hardened Bone Mask of Horror (Required Level 20), Strengthened Bone Mask of Horror (Required Level 30), Calcified Bone Mask of Horror (Required Level 40), and the Solid Bone Mask of Horror (Required Level 50).
They all have progressively better stats.
As best as I can tell, the tasks are very similar, they simply involve level-related zones and lesser versions of related MOB's.
NOTE: You can (and will) get variations on some of these tasks (what zone you are sent to, the Level of the MOB’s you encounter and similar) based on your current character level(s).
NOTE: Some of the NPC's despawn and respawn. If they aren't up, just hang out for a few minutes.
NOTE:
Other than the Monster

Hail her and follow along to get the task called "The Hungry Halfling."
She will give you a book called 
Mippie's Home Remedies

This book is merely a book of the recipes that you need to know, so you can dump it, if you want to.
.
15) You now need to make (or obtain) some food items made via the recipes in the book.
The easiest to make (or buy from other players) is the Pumpkin Bread (Weight 1.5), because you only have to find (or buy from other players) five (5) of the dropped ingredients.
The dropped ingredient is

I mention only the Pumpkin Bread, as the other recipes will require at least ten (10) drops, where this only requires five (5).

Cup of Flour (Weight

some other random 5-dose illusion potion.
Don't use it up, you will need it later!
If you do use it up, don’t panic (see Step 31), there are alternatives!
.
17) PLANE OF KNOWLEDGE: You are looking for Shroudkeeper Hyush, Shroudkeeper Nisua or Shroudkeeper Learu (all Level 70).
One of them is up on the hill near the main bank.
Hail and shroud yourself up into anything you want to, just make sure it is Level 20.
You are doing this to make this task a ton easier and avoid a venture into the Plane of Hate.
.

You will need a group (this is a group task).
NOTE: You can also use the shroud trick here (see Step 17) and get the task changed to Kurn's Tower, the Estate of Unrest and then Befallen, instead of as shown below.
NOTE: Only one (1) person in the group needs to collect the below listed drops. Therefore, you can send group members off in separate directions to get the items faster.
.
23) WALL OF SLAUGHTER: You are here after a Splintered Discordling Bone (Weight 0.3).
It drops off random "discordling" type MOB's (and maybe others) (Level 68 to 70).

HP, 115 MANA, 115 END; 10 AC, 10 STR, 5 DEX, 10 WIS, 10 INT, 5 AGI; 15 FIRE, 15
COLD, 15 MAGIC).
.
28)
You will need a group of at least three (3) people (six is better).
Hail Cathil and follow along (key phrase, “Tale”).
Then hail A Silly Puppet and say, "Tale?"
Then give A Silly Puppet the Bristlebane's Ticket of Admission, from Step 21.
.
29) You will now be assigned a Monster
Each group member will be offered a deity to play.
The deity possibilities are Terris
When everyone is ready, say "Story"
to A Silly Puppet and follow along (key phrase, I believe, is
“Imagine”). You will be transported into an instanced version of
.
30)
The job here is to protect Rivervale and beat three (3) waves... or better, three trains... of MOB's.
Each Wave will have higher con MOB than the previous ones, of about 15 MOB's each.
The last wave has the named MOB (Name??).
Kill it first.
The named drops a loot item, in the form of an Artifact, which will transform into a loot item for the player who loots it, once they zone out.
Drop task to zone out, or just wait.

31) PLANE OF KNOWLEDGE: You are looking for Zigan Ribshard (Level 50).
He is a goblin on the evil side of PoK, standing by a pole near the Cabilis stone.
You need to be in "costume."
So, use the 5 Dose Essence of Troll
(or whatever other possible potion you got from Step 16).
NOTE: If you used up this item, don’t panic! ANY type of illusion at all (from any source, be it player cast, a potion, a clickie…) will work for this step!
Hail him to receive your reward, the Bone Mask of Horror (or some lesser version, depending on your actual level)!
UNSUBSTANTIATED RUMOR: As you level up, you can also trade up your mask by going back to Zigan. I am not sure how this works… but some say you merely destroy the mask you have and hail him again! Can anyone advise?
