Halloween 2009
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.

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.
