The Halloween dungeon is once again open for adventure!
For information about this quest, please read the wiki: Halloween Quests
2017 changes:
- Totem requirements updated
- Added T-shirt side quest
- Added Haunted Halls Raffle (see below)
- Added vendor stone & quest currency
- Added Headhunter's Kits. These kits allow you to use player's heads to craft a head on a spike deco item. There is a new resource needed for these, the Headhunter's Spike, which are dropped rarely from the Hollow Rider, and every time by the Headless Horsemen.
- Added timed teleporters around all of the quest NPCs. If you remain standing near them for longer than 2 minutes you will be moved away. This prevents anyone from blocking visibility to the NPCs.
- The dungeon now has a third level, accessed via the previous-dead-end stairwell at the northwest corner of level 1. This level has 2 res stations and a safe AFK room.
- Trash mobs from levels 1 and 2 have been equalized over all 3 levels. The overall number of mobs spawning in the dungeon is the same, but they are now spread across 3 levels. This is intended to help keep folks more spread out in the dungeon and help eliminate issues with spawn sharing, luring, etc.
- The soul eater mini-boss is now located on level 3 of the dungeon.
- Dungeon stealables will actually need to be stolen. The minimum to attempt to steal is 110. If you fail an attempt, you will have a 30 second stealing cooldown.
- Stealables have a slower respawn rate.
- Stealables now move every 2-6 hours.
- Stealables also now have a year tag.
- You must now be on one of the quests in order to enter the dungeon.
- Quest delay is now 7 hours (from 8 )
- All mini bosses have had their respawn timers reduced by 50%.
- All bonus gold has been removed from mini bosses as well as the quest book turn-ins
- All teleporters across the dungeon have brief delays to prevent tele-hopping to avoid dying.
- Quest books now decay in 2 days
- Costume moved to vendor stone
- Rewards completely overhauled

In an effort to cut down on the most common rewards, which quickly become seen as "useless" and "undesirable" rewards to receive, I have eliminated several of those very common rewards and in their place have added tickets to this new seasonal raffle.
- This raffle will run for the month of October each year the Halloween event is open.
- The reward is entirely unique to the raffle and will remain unique to the raffle for at least 1 year. Note however that if the reward is very popular it may be used again for next year's Halloween raffle. If it is unpopular it may be moved to another system or event after next Halloween.
- You can obtain tickets from completing the quests, or purchase them from the vendor stone.
- You must visit the raffle stone and use your tickets to enter the raffle. They function as currency for the raffle stone, so if you do not visit the stone and "purchase" entries, you will not be entered at all.
- All versions of the tickets are account bound and cannot be traded with other players.
NOTE: Please do not send pages for quest issues unless you have already reviewed the wiki and forum post in depth and are sure you have experienced a bug. Do not reply to this forum thread with quest issues or suggestions - send a page.
This quest will run until November 1st.
Enjoy, dears!
