This is Halloween
The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting chillier and Halloween is nearly upon us! Pumpkin spirits have been spotted in a few locations and Pumpkin Pete is going to need your help to keep his head. Our upcoming Halloween event kicks off on the 16th of October and will run until 23:59 Game Time on the 5th of November!
- Help Pumpkin Pete grow a new Pumpkin Head with Necromantic energy
- Smash Pumpkins earned as you play or by gathering at Pumpkin Parties with other players!
- Collect Sweet Enhancers for beneficial effects during the event and earn a Pumpkin Mask that prevents T1 & T2 Ritual Candles from degrading
- Smash Pumpkins for a chance to find Halloween treats like the Ensouled Pumpkin Mask, Orange Hallowe'en Mask and more
Oh for Pete's sake
Pumpkin Pete is in a bit of a bind. Every year, he likes to swap out his pumpkin head for a fresh one so he can look snazzy for his favourite season of the year. With the recent surge of Necromantic energy appearing around Gielinor, he sees a great opportunity to harness all that new energy for a flashy new look.
Unfortunately for Pete, he isn't the most experienced - and now he's unleashed a plethora of plump pumpkins to plague Gielinor! It's time for your expert help to clean things up and imbue his new head with energy.
A pumpkin a day keeps the reaper away
Pete's rocked up at Fort Forinthry with his own pumpkin patch (even he knows this is the right place for skilling activities!).
Each day, you can visit the patch to perform a quick ritual to imbue his head with some energy and help him along the way. Even Ironman players can help out! As a token of appreciation, Pete will reward you with some new treats each day. You can read more about those below.
Cleaning up the mess is going to take a little more elbow grease.
He did the pumpkin (s)mash
All that Necromantic meddling has given the pumpkins a spirit of their own and it's down to you to tackle this festive fruit overload. Pete has given us an old rotten pumpkin head that will be revitalized - like his own head - if you smash enough of the devious root vegetables. Anything you find within your pumpkin victims will be yours to keep. Ironman players can also smash to their heart's content, but will get H'oddments in lieu of some rewards.
Pumpkins can be smashed at communal Pumpkin Parties, or while you are out training any skill (except Dungeoneering).
Pumpkin Parties
We're not sure what the term for a group of necromantic pumpkins are (gaggle? flock?), but there's a LOT of them gathering in areas around Gielinor.
Every 30 minutes past the hour, a Pumpkin Party will kick off at Fort Forinthry, Draynor Village or the City of Um (look for a handy broadcast 5 minutes before the party to know where to go!). When the party is ready to start, Pete can teleport you right there - no excuses for being late!
Once the party starts, you will need to find and smash as many of the congregating pumpkins as you can in a 3 minute time limit. Each pumpkin you smash will reward items from the below loot table - and if you collectively succeed in fully fending off the orange scourge, you'll receive additional Agility XP from all that running around! Ironman players are also invited, but won't receive the additional Agility XP. Take a lap!
On October 31st, rewards from any smashed pumpkins at these parties will also be doubled.
Smashing Pumpkins
As you skill or fight your way across Gielinor, your actions will attract the nefarious pumpkins to your presence. Same rules apply - all pumpkins must die so you can get rewards. Well, technically they're already dead, but you catch our drift.
These work similar to Seren Spirits, periodically appearing while you are gaining experience, though they'll appear when skilling anything except Dungeoneering. Clearly these creatures are not fans of Daemonheim. Smash em up and get extra rewards - you too, Ironman players!
If you want to opt-out and get some peace and quiet from Pumpkins, you can ask Pete to turn these off for you, but you might hurt his feelings in the process.
Rewards
This Halloween there are a plethora of rewards, all of which can be earned in-game by smashing pumpkins.
Rotten Pumpkin Mask and Pumpkin Mask
Pete will gift you a Rotten Pumpkin Mask when you first speak to him. How lovely...
If looking like a Pumpkin-you-meant-to-get-rid-of-on-November-1st-but-now-it's-January-oh-god-why-did-I-procrastinate isn't your style, have no fear - smashing up 500 pumpkins (both Party Pumpkins and smashing Pumpkins count!) will restore the mask to its former glory so you can look Halloween fresh.
This reinvigorated Pumpkin Mask comes with the added benefit of preventing your Tier 1 and Tier 2 Light Sources from decaying while performing Necromancy Rituals! You can also wear it as a light source to brighten up dark areas of the map.
Ensouled Pumpkin Mask
Some lucky (unlucky?) pumpkins have been empowered even further by Pete's antics, and you can wear it as an Ensouled Pumpkin Mask!
This ensouled version has the same effect as the Pumpkin Mask, but also prevents Tier 3 Light Sources from decaying at Necromancy Rituals too.
You can find the Ensouled Pumpkin Mask via gameplay by smashing pumpkins or via the Harvest Bonus in the Grim Harvest promotion.
Orange Hallowe'en Mask
The iconic Hallowe'en Mask is back this year with a new orange variant!
The Orange Hallowe'en Mask can be found via gameplay by smashing pumpkins or via the Grim Harvest promotion.
Soul Dive & Soul Surge Cosmetic ability scrolls
Add a soulful spin to your movement with these new ability overrides!
Soul Surge overrides the look of your surge, while Soul Dive overrides the visuals of your Dive and Bladed Dive abilities.
Both overrides can be found as tokens via gameplay by smashing pumpkins or in the Grim Harvest promotion. You can also find them in the H'Oddments store as a direct unlock for your character.
Pumpkin Beret Override
Get smashing, look dashing. The Pumpkin Beret has a chance to drop exclusively in the Pumpkin Parties event, so make sure to attend if you're looking to add it to your wardrobe.
Overhead Emotes
A brand new reward is making its debut with this event - Overhead Emotes! These emotes will help you add a little more flair to your discussions and opens the door for a whole cavalcade of potential emote ideas for the future.
These emotes are displayed over your characters head, similar to prayer icons, for a short period of time.
You will be given the following emotes Heart/ Thumbs Up/ Thumbs Down completely free and you can find them in your emote menu under the new "Overheads" segment.
There will be 6 other emotes to get you hands on throughout the course of the event!
The Halloween Emote tokens (Pumpkin Sob, Pumpkin Nauseous and Pumpkin Joy) are found by smashing pumpkins during the Halloween Event!
Necromancy Emotes: Necromancer Facepalm, Bone Heart and Excited Rasial emote tokens are found by smashing pumpkins or within the Grim Harvest promotion. You can also find them in the H'Oddments store as a direct unlock for your character.
Fort Thematic Cosmetics
Get your Fort into the spirit of the season with new cosmetic unlocks. Dedicate your Chapel to Icthlarin, or theme up with an adorable spooky themed decorations for the trees! You can find both of these tokens by smashing pumpkins. You can also find them in the H'Oddments store as a direct unlock for your character.
Sweet Enhancers
Trick or Treating wouldn't be the same without some tasty and interesting sweets to get your hands on! Get your hands on a pick and mix of assorted sweets that either give temporary skill buffs or help you on your pumpkin smashing adventures!
