The villain contact for this is apparently on Nerva, on the same little
island that you end up on when you exit the base portal for that zone.

Of course, neither contact is really available yet, which makes the
whole thing somewhat moot.

Any idea on what the special event is?

It's definitely for the Halloween event this year. What, precisely, that
will be, is still open to speculation.

Starting slot, L20 slot, L30 slot, event slot.

You wouldn't see 5 until you unlocked the L40 slot...

Hmm. Wouldn't a selection of canned foe costumes be a hoot? I'd love to
dress up as a REAL tank...

My guess:

The Villain contact asks for a number of things, including a Statesman Mask
and a Hamidon costume (or something similar). I am going to guess that
there will be mobs dressed as Statesman, Lord Recluse and Hamidon (among
others possibly) that have the potential to drop a mask/costume/whatever
when defeated.

Get all the drops, get access to a fifth costume slot.

Although, interestingly enough, my L32 robots/dark MM (aka god mode) only
has access to 4 costume slots total. The fifth may only be accessible once
you hit 50??

I have all of the Crotoa monsters, the Halloween monsters from last
year, and a bunch of "Bored Over-Achieving Badge-Collector" badges so it
might just be that or you get it at 50. Just need another recent 50 to
verify this and that'll be clear.

When I went to the facemaker last night, I could see 4 slots. The fourth
one was blacked out, but there were four slots showing.

Asked the rest of the 50's I was teamed with tonight, they all have it,
so its requirement is having level 50.

Except that every character I've logged on since the patch went
through has had the whole window changed to five slots. Just
went and logged on my level four just to make sure I wasn't imagining
things and sure enough, five slots.

The best bet really is that it's unlocked somehow in the next event.
Personally I think it'd be interesting if the slot was the only one
that
allowed a character to wear certain special 'event' costume pieces or
the like. ... but that's just me.
