Overview

Halloween 2009 brought back some popular Halloween-related activities from previous years as well as new additions and special items to celebrate the holiday. It was a major part of Publish 62.

Note: Publish 62 adds all the content listed below. If your shard has not yet received the publish then none of the content will be available. As of Oct. 25, 2009 only Origin and TC1 shards have the publish.

Event Loot Items

Special event-themed loot may be found as loot on some monsters:

  • Black Cat Statuette Black cat statuette.png
  • Pumpkin Scarecrow Pumpkin scarecrow.png
  • Ruined Tapestry Ruined tapestry.png

Trick or Treat

In addition to the treats from previous years, there are 5 new treats this year. Simply walk up to an NPC and say "Trick or Treat" and then target them.

Beware - NPC's may opt to play a trick on players instead of giving them a treat. However, this year there will be no death involved but players may still be surprised at what can happen.

If you have Grandmaster (100) Begging there is a small chance that you will be given one of two new rare items.

Randomly, a character may suddenly yell out "MAKE IT STOP!"

Tricks

New 2009 Tricks

Instead of an Evil Twin which would attack you in years past, a Naughty Twin may appear which may:

  • Teleport you to a random moongate on same facet.
  • Steal some of your candy
  • Temporarily polymorph you into a Pile of Maggots.

Recurring 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)
  • "Haunted" Each step the player takes will play a random sound.

Mystery Quest

A new quest starting at the Court of Truth in Yew: Speak with Jasper the Inspector there.

  • Can be done completely in either Felucca or Trammel.
  • Every step required in the chain, skipping steps will keep you from completing the event.
  • May be repeated.
  • Participating characters must be 15 days old (except for Test Center).

For full step by step details of this quest (including lots of spoilers) see: Halloween 2009 Quest.

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 Jack O' Lantern will spawn.

Jack O' Lanterns

Menacing and Leering, Lit and Unlit

Very rarely, a named pumpkin will spawn as a large Jack O' Lantern with a carved face. They may spawn in a variety of designs and can be locked down in a player's home and left lit or unlit.

Named Pumpkins

Pumpkins are named after devs, GM's and EM's.
