Halloween 2008

Trick or Treat

There are 3 new common treats that can be acquired by visiting NPCs, saying "Trick or Treat" and targeting them; a muffin, a candy corn or a pixie stick. If you have Grandmaster (100) Begging there is a chance that you will be given a small spider web (and possibly other rares). Of course there are many tricks that can be played upon you, from summoning a Changeling that attacks you to instant death and other curses.

Treats

  • a giant pumpkin muffin
  • candy corn
  • pixie stick
  • pumpkin pizza (very rare)
  • creepy cake (very rare)
  • murky milk (very rare)
  • Mr. Plain's cookies (very rare)
  • harvest wine (very rare)
  • small web, left and right (very rare)

The last six were gained by a GM Beggar, Mr Plain's Cookies gained with no begging skill.

Originally the rares were stated to be about 2% chance; current production shard testing has gotten 7 rares in 1250 treats; or about 0.5%.


Tricks

  • No apparent effect (likely a polymorph to human male/female that goes unnoticed) Skin turned pale white for a time and then a message saying "You have returned to your normal form"
  • Bleeding profusely (harmless)
  • Polymorph (as per the Magery polymorph)
  • Evil twin/Changeling (all your skills and weaknesses, tries to kill you, and cannot be outrun. You can Gate, Recall, Invisibility or hide to escape; or, let it get you to 1 health where it will unsummon; or kill it. Killing it gets you nothing (no body to loot or spawns in backpack.)
  • Insta-death (65,000 damage, body parts - Fame loss does occur)
  • "Haunted" Each step the player takes will play a random sound.

Quest

A new quest starting in the Yew Courthouse: talk to Jasper and read the book on the table.

  • Every step required in the chain, skipping steps will keep you from completing the event.
  • Event can be done once per character.
  • Participating characters must be 15 days old (except for Test Center).

Khaldun in Trammel

Khaldun dungeon is temporarily available in Trammel for the duration of Halloween events.

Pumpkin Patch

Farmers are once again harvesting pumpkins this season. Pumpkins can be picked up from most any farm land. Some of them may be double-clicked and thrown as a fire bomb. Additionally, the named pumpkins may be used with the Cooking skill to prepare food items requiring pumpkin. The pumpkins can weigh anywhere from 3-25 stones and very rarely a black one will spawn.
