Halloween Quest

The Halloween quests are open every October and feature two separate quests and an associated dungeon.

To participate in these quests, go to Mistas and run South until you see the small tent camp.

NOTE: You MUST be patched up to the most recent patch in order to participate!

The Haunted Halls

Trilby the Researcher needs your help investigating the undead and paranormal creatures that reside in the Haunted Halls. Hail him to begin the quest.

You may complete this quest every 7 hours.

You will be asked to kill various creatures and mini-bosses inside the dungeon.

The Haunted Halls dungeon is considered mid to advanced level difficulty and should be approached with caution.

Trick or Treat

Mary wants your help keeping the Trick or Treat network alive. Hail her to begin the quest.

You can run this quest every 7 hours.

You will collect trick or treat masks from the Haunted Halls dungeon and then travel around Excelsior trick or treating with NPCs.

Important Dungeon Info

- Young players may not enter the dungeon. Your account must be at least 7 days old to enter.

- This dungeon has 11 stealables located in chests or barrels. They will move to new locations every 6 hours.

- Each mini-boss will drop some gold and each has 2-4 Halloween dungeon 'artifacts' to collect. 22 in total.

- This dungeon has FREE CANDY! All candy can be picked up from the ground, is temporary, and provides a brief buff when eaten.

- All trash mobs have a chance to drop human skulls.

- There are 2 res stations per level.

- There is a 5 minute logout delay for this dungeon. This means that if you log out inside the dungeon without securing your camp, your character will stay in-world and be subject to death by any wandering hostiles as well as failed AFK checks. The staff are not responsible for any lost items or pets if you log out in the dungeon in spite of this warning.

- Safe-AFK room: There is a safe space to AFK on the 2nd and 3rd levels of the dungeon. On the second level, enter the center room, then go up the staircase. On the third level, the room is located on the east side of the dungeon to the south. You will be automatically moved into the safe room, and may exit at your leisure.

- You can only complete this quest once per account per delay period.

- Every 1 hour, all trash mobs in the dungeon will perform a full respawn.

You can track your progress, as well as find out how long until you're able to run the quests again by visiting the clock on the outer wall of the large tent at the Halloween Quest area. Hover over the clock to see the available key words.

Additional Event Features

Dungeon Stealables

There are a number of stealables that spawn inside barrels and chests across the Haunted Halls dungeon. These move periodically, so they won't always be in the same place every time you check.

You must have 110+ stealing to attempt to take one of these items. If you fail, you will have a 30 second stealing cooldown before you can use the skill again.

Vendor Stone

Every time you complete either quest you will receive Vials of Ectoplasm which can be used as currency on the Halloween vendor stone.

The vendor stone and its item display are on the 4th floor of the rewards building.

NOTE: Quest currency should be spent on the vendor stone on/before the stated quest closing date! Quest currency is designed to decay several days after the quest closing date to ensure that any minor quest extensions are accounted for, but once the quest is closed the vendor stone will no longer be available and you will not be able to spend the currency.

T-Shirt

When you have completed 35+ runs of the Haunted Halls quest and 20+ runs of the Trick or Treat quest, you are eligible to receive this year's Halloween T-shirt.

Say hail to Lysel when you are ready to collect your shirt.

Puppets

You may obtain one of three puppets when you have completed the Haunted Halls quest 20+ times and the Trick or Treat quest 15+ times. Say hail to Lysel when you are ready to select your puppet.

The available puppets are displayed on the 2nd floor of the reward display building, near the stairs.

Seasonal Totems

Once you have completed 40+ runs of the Haunted Halls quest, and 20+ runs of the Trick or Treat quest, you may collect your seasonal totem.

Say hail to Aimery when you are ready, and you will receive your voucher to bring to Andrew the Collector. You will be able to select from: Pumpkin, Pentagram or Skull totems.

Haunted Halls Raffle

When completing each of the quests, you may receive a raffle ticket as a reward. These tickets are only good for the month of October and only for the special Haunted Halls raffle. Bring your tickets to the raffle stone to enter them into the raffle!

The raffle stone is located on the 4th floor of the rewards building.

Event Rules

By entering the Halloween Dungeon, you are agreeing to these rules.

- If you are found to be AFK anywhere in the dungeon except the safe AFK room, you will lose access to the dungeon for 2-4 weeks.

- If you are jailed for any reason and receive 10+ tasks, you will lose access to the dungeon for 2-4 weeks.

- Luring: This seems to be a problem every year. If you are running for your life in the dungeon and you pass another player, I strongly recommend you PM them to apologize. If you have mobs dragged onto you, I strongly suggest you take into account the player's overall gear level and time on the shard. If it's a vet doing it, then it's more likely to be intentional. If it's someone with less gear, then it's more likely they simply were trying to get out alive. If you have evidence of this happening to you, send a page to report it. Otherwise, just realize that some players are inconsiderate people and do your best to avoid them in the future.

- If you violate the rules of this dungeon or in any way exploit, take advantage of or participate in inappropriate behavior/activities in/about the dungeon your privileges will be revoked for the duration and you may be jailed. If you don't like hunting there, then simply don't hunt there. Don't bash the staff or the work we do here. Don't train mobs on people, don't cut in line, etc. Just be nice.

- Please keep in mind that all spawn sharing and kill stealing rules still apply in the Halloween dungeon. If a person is camping a spawn that you want as well, you are free to wait with them. The person who was there first will get the next spawn, and the person who was there 2nd gets the spawn after that. If someone dies while fighting a boss spawn, allow them 3 minutes to return and re-engage the mob. If they do not re-engage within 3 minutes, the spawn is considered available. Instances of kill stealing will be documented and could incur jail time if they are repeat offenses. Play by the rules and save yourself the trouble.
