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.

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.

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

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.
