===Support Breast Cancer Research with New Make a Difference Items===

October is [https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-awareness-month National Breast Cancer Awareness Month] and, going live October 1st, our Make a Difference Store is having a few items added to its [https://www.shroudoftheavatar.com/?page_id=51225#tab-breast_cancer_charity breast cancer charity section]. Catnip Games donates 20% of the net purchase price of items in this section to the [https://www.bcrf.org/ Breast Cancer Research Foundation]. Starting on the first of the month, a Pink Fireflies 3-Pack will be added!

October 1st also heralds the return of the Pink Katana, which was removed from the in-game store when the Make a Difference store relaunched; a new Pink Katana Pattern 6-Pack has been created to go with it.

Our own reminder, as the month is about awareness, not just donations: despite all the pink, [https://www.nationalbreastcancer.org/breast-cancer-myths/men-do-not-get-breast-cancer-it-affects-women-only/ breast cancer is not ONLY a woman’s disease]. Men have vestigial breast tissue and can develop cancer as well. It’s rare, but they tend to have worse outcomes because it’s not something they are routinely screened for and so it’s generally caught later in the disease process. If you’re a man who’s noticed any odd changes to your chest, please don’t ignore them!

===Improvements to the Vendor Listings in Zone Window===
The Vendor Listings in Zone window has seen some performance and usage improvements from DevilCult this month:

The window will no longer be destroyed when closing it; it will now just be hidden. A message will appear in chat upon opening the list informing you that you may close the window and let it load in background. While the list continues loading, it might still affect the game a little depending on how many vendors and items are being loaded. Once the list finishes loading, another chat message will appear showing the number of items loaded and the number of vendors in the town, letting you know that it’s ready for use.

Data caching for the vendors (though not the listed items) has been added: when leaving a town and then returning within an hour, that list will still be downloaded but will need to repopulate the items, which can still take some time.

The scroll bar will now resize correctly with the window. Finally, the dark ‘loading’ overlay has been enlarged so players can’t click the columns to sort or the refresh button until the whole list is loaded, which was delaying its completion.

We hope these changes help you search for that rare conversation piece or deadly dagger!

===A New Helm in the Jotungrund Ice Crevasse===
[[Image:SS_Frost_Helm_overlay.png|800px]]

Some far-ranging members of the Ice Bear clan that inhabit the ice crevasse in Jotungrund have noticed the fierce giant occassionally found far to their south and have decided that he’s a stylish dude. They’ve been making helms to mimic his iconic headgear and you can get one too! They even have patterns, should you have the skill for it. As these barbarians refuse to put their wares for sale on vendors despite the recent UI improvements, may we suggest violence?
