Halloween (1 October - 7 November)

Edgeville gets decorations, lanterns and ghosts. Every 3 minutes haunted pumpkins appear around Edgeville, at the rock crabs and in the Wilderness, and last 5 minutes. Smash them for treats - but 1 in 10 is a trick that splatters you with goop (never deadly). ::halloween shows how many are out.

Halloween: the Goop-o'-Lantern Harvest

While Halloween runs, the Event portal at home takes you to the Hollow Patch in the Haunted Woods east of Canifis (a safe area). Old Hob gives you a free pitchfork. The goop-infected creatures there never attack first; the player who did the most damage gets the Goopy Halloween tokens:

The Harvest Moon: every kill by anyone fills it (250 kills + 30 per player online, at most 1,500). When it is full, the Goop-o'-Lantern rises in the Moonlit Ring (multi-combat) 2 minutes later. Only pitchforks hurt it. Watch for its goop seeds (step off the marked tiles), its lantern flare (step back) and its sprouts, which heal it until they are killed. Everyone who helped enough rolls on their own: 150-300 tokens and a treat bag, more bags 1/5, a Harvest set piece 1/8, a Halloween weapon 1/30, the Lil' Lantern pet 1/200, a Blood key 1/10.

Pitchforks (untradeable) - each upgrade uses up the tier before it:

Ripe pumpkins: smash one every 20 seconds for 15-40 tokens, a cosmetic 1/40 or a treat bag 1/25 (or a trick). Each worn Harvest set piece adds +5% pitchfork damage, and the full set 5% more. The Gourd Cache (400 tokens) shows your exact chances before you roll. ::halloween opens the Harvest screen. Tokens are untradeable and are kept after the event; pitchfork upgrades and the Gourd Cache stay open for 3 days after it ends.
