Hey Jellybeans! It wouldn't be SpOoKy SeAsOn without the annual Pumpkin Festival!  Join the festivities with trick-or-treating, hunting pumpkin ghosts, making delicious pumpkin pie, and more! But beware... something darker lurks in the shadows outside Prontera. Gear up, gather your friends, and dive into this hauntingly fun event. Keep reading for more details!

 

Welcome to the Pumpkin Festival!

 

General & Rewards

A variety of mini-games are located in different towns, and you can earn Pumpkin Festival Certificates for participating. Hermann the Skeleton in the center of Prontera (/navi prontera 147/198) offers rewards in exchange for Pumpkin Festival Certificates. However his stock is a little dry at the start. Visit him daily to see what appears in his shop. Rumor has it that the most desirable items will be available after 12 or 13 days of stopping by Hermann's shop. Plan accordingly! If you miss a few days, it won't reset your progress, but make sure you don't run out of time to unlock all the rewards! Also, remember to use the certificates before the event ends and they vanish.

 

Trick or Treat

Halloween lasts for one day, but during the Pumpkin Festival, it's still custom and practice to dress up and go from house to house to ask for candy for the entire month. You will be able to trick or treat in five towns: Alberta, Geffen, Izlude, Niflheim, and Rachel. On the minimap you will see the locations of the houses where you can knock to ask for candy. But wait! You need to put on a costume first! In all of these five towns, you will find the Unhappy Mask Salesman, and he will assist you in creating a mask that disguises you as a monster to go trick or treating! Keep in mind that for each town, you need to put on a different mask. When using the mask, your costume will only stay for 1 minute, so better stand in front of a door, or else your mask will go to waste.
The towns each have 10 houses giving out candy. You can only knock on a door once each day, and there are different kinds of candies or other surprises that you can get depending on the town. You can go trick or treating 10 times each day per character. For every successful knock on a door, you get 1 certificate. Now go, and find out which types of candy you can get from all the towns!

Unhappy Mask Salesman locations for each town:

Alberta 28,240

Geffen 39,124

Izlude 102,67

Niflheim 27,157

South of Rachel (ve_fild02) 183,380 

 

Mysterious Pumpkins

Mysterious Pumpkins will appear in the towns of Payon, Aldebaran, Comodo, and Morocc. They are quite harmless, but among them, a few Mischievous Ghosts are hiding, disguised as a pumpkin. Find the Mischievous Ghosts, and drive them out of the towns, so they stop scaring people. But be careful, they are quite swift... After 30 minutes, if all the ghosts have not been found, all of the pumpkins will disappear again. You will see an announcement when they're back! You get Certificates when you reveal them and when you manage to defeat them! After the mini-game ends, they will be back in 60 minutes. 

To ensure a smooth ghost hunting experience for yourself and other players, try to wait until you see the message confirming you killed the ghost before teleporting off to find more. Being mid-teleport while the system is processing the kill may result it not being counted, which can be confusing when people are looking for one more ghost that was already dealt with!

This mini-game has been revamped so that we can run it as a GM weekly event. So look forward to earning those extra festival certificates if it is chosen by vote. 

Old Cobby's Spirit

Face the elusive jelly pumpkin demon Old Cobby and keep him on his toes! If he's always on the run, he won't be able to turn Prontera into his personal patch of doom! Old Cobby's Spirit respawns just south of Prontera (prt_fild08) every 10-20 minutes. Defeating him will reward 3 certificates and 1 old purple box. As a unique event monster, the rules for boss monsters apply to Old Cobby, so he is free-for-all. Good luck!

 

Powerful Pumpkin Pies

When you kill monsters you might receive an Edible Pumpkin or some Raw Dough. You can use these items to create a Powerful Pumpkin Pie that boosts your stats for a short while. To do that, bring 3 Edible Pumpkins and 1 Raw Dough to Casper, the travelling cook in the center of Prontera (/navi prontera 145/200). You can only get 1 certificate each day for creating pumpkin pies, but you can create as many pies as you wish.

 

Uneasy Cemetery

When night falls this time of year, the restless dead rise from their graves to terrorize the citizens of Prontera, but when day comes they temporarily return to their rest. To break this horrible cycle, bring Holy Water to Mother Mathana outside the Prontera Church (/navi prontera 257/313). She requires 1000 Holy Water, but as a community you can work together to keep Prontera safe. For every 100 holy water you hand in you will get a Pumpkin Harvest Certificate. Mother Mathana will take all your holy water, even if you give her a surplus that covers more than one day. However, bringing more than the required amount of holy water can earn the city additional peaceful nights when the dead will not rise. A day in Ragnarok has been set for 12 hours. Night occurs at midnight and noon server time.

 

Event ends on November 2nd @ 4 PM Server Time!
