Overview

Halloween 2010 brought back some popular Halloween-related activities from previous years as well as new additions and special items to celebrate the holiday. It went live with Publish 68.3 and scheduled to end November 15, 2010.

Trick or Treat

There are 4 new treats as well as the old ones. These can be obtained by simply walking up to an Npc, saying "Trick or Treat" and then targeting them.

Beware - NPC's may opt to play a trick on players instead of giving them a treat.

If a character has Grandmaster (100.0 skill) Begging there is a small chance to receive a special treat from previous years or one of the four new rare treats.

Equipping a Bloody Sash will transform your appearence to resemble a werewolf.

Pumpkin Patch

Farmers once again could harvest Pumpkin.png pumpkins this season. Pumpkins could be picked up from most any farm land. Some of them may be double-clicked and thrown as a fire bomb.

The pumpkins can weigh anywhere from 3-25 stones and very rarely a Jack O' Lantern will spawn.
