Overview

Acantha is a Praetorian NPC who hovers on the northeast side of the Tiberian Bluff in Imperial City. She is not a contact, but she will grant a free costume slot if brought a complete set of costume Event Salvage from the Halloween Events. Her coordinates are (263, 48, 3395).

EdLetter.png Editor's Note:

It is thought that Acantha first appeared after the September 28, 2010 Patch. But since Acantha wasn't mention in that or any previous patch notes, it's presumed she is an unintended early leak that will probably debut in the 2010 Halloween Event for Praetoria.

Praetorians can indeed use Acantha to unlock a second costume slot. But for now, the only source of the Halloween Event Salvage needed to give to Acantha to unlock the slot is through the Auction House or to be gleemailed the salvage.

Badge bughunter 01.png Bug! Some players have had difficulty finding Acantha since she seems to fade in and out of appearing on the map. (This bug may because she is on the static NPC timer instead of registering as a contact.) If players cannot find her at her location, it's been suggested they retreat outside drawing distance and then return (repeat if necessary).


Costume Slot

When Clicked without the salvage needed

What do you know of deception and illusion? During these troubled times, you cannot trust what you see. Perhaps you have found some otherworldly costumes? Bring me one Statesman Mask, one Lord Recluse Helmet, one Back Alley Brawler Gloves, and one Hamidon costume. If you do this, I will teach you what I know of disguise and illusion, giving you access to another Costume Slot.


When Clicked with the salvage needed
"Give Acantha the salvage."

Ah, you have it all, do you? Sit down a while, I will instruct you in the arcane arts.

You now have an additional costume slot.


Talking to Acantha again after redeeming salvage will give the following message

I am afraid there is nothing more I can do for you.


Zombie Apocalypse

While redeeming costume salvage with Annah or Granny Beldam has a chance for a Zombie Apocalypse or a Deadly Apocalypse event in both a hero and a villain zone, it is not known if this is also true for Acantha.
