Halloween 2008

Revision as of 16:26, 31 October 2008 by JC the Builder (Talk | contribs)

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)

Quest

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