The Evil Pumpkin Festival is starting! For the second year in a row, both immortals and regular people enjoy fun and just a bit terrifying adventures for a period of whole three weeks!
A feast will take over Aelion from October 27 to November 11: the Aelinar will be transformed, and in your adventures you will get a chance to meet special, somewhat quirky, yet still dangerous opponents—candy bandits, the guardians of countless treasures. Embrace the holiday spirit! Play nasty tricks on your friends, get your candy rewards and exchange them for unique costumes and musical instruments in the market.
Pumpkin Horror!
Want to get a whole lot of candy at once? Just go to the city park—it doesn’t get easier than that!
12 am to 1 pm and 6 pm to 10 pm PDT every day, 1 special rideable broom and lots of pumpkins will appear there. You know where to find the pumpkins, but not the broom.
As soon as the broom appears, all players in the park will receive a dedicated notification. Your objective will be to be the first to find the broom, mount it and make off to a safe place, evading the crowds of competitors. Additionally, mounted heroes will be able to throw special pumpkins that add a fear effect on their targets. Fun like no other!
Didn’t manage to reach the precious objective? Then let no one else have it! Grab the first pumpkin you can lay your hands on and throw it at the cocky immortal that dared steal the broom that is yours by law. After all, you saw it first! A couple of well-aimed shots, and that upstart is back on the ground, and the broom is free once more!
You will receive 25 pieces of candy for every 5 seconds you spend on the broom. And if you manage to hold on to it for more than a minute, you will also be rewarded for completing the daily quest. Another way to receive that reward is to hit the broom rider with five pumpkins.
Let us point out that you will receive more rewards for riding the broom than for throwing pumpkins. After all, you receive rewards both for the daily quest and a bonus for holding on to your “mount.”
By the way, all players that completed any of the daily quests will not be able to ride the broom until next day. But they will be able to pellet the broom riders as much as they want. Isn’t that nice?
Candy bandits and their caches
During your adventures you might encounter special candy bandits. Their name may not be very terrifying but those thugs can prove formidable adversaries. By defeating them you can earn candy and pieces of a map for the treasure hidden in the city park.
During the festivities you will find tons of new Halloween-styled items that you can buy for candy. You can find the special offer on the Events tab. Also, there you will see sinister costumes of phantoms, skeletons, and mummies that will turn your character in a true otherworldly monster, and mysterious and gloomy headgear that correspond to the holiday spirit perfectly. Besides, you will be able to purchase incredible fireworks and a new musical instrument in the market. Create an otherworldly celebration with howls and pyrotechnics for those around!
In the bandits cache you may find:
- Phantom Costume (green).
- Prison Ghost Costume (green).
- Prison Ghost Costume (white).
- Skeleton Costume (blue).
- Pumpkin Headwear.
- Talking Hat Headwear (purple).
- Epic Adept by the name of Apathius the Gloomy.
Items to appear in the market:
Put on the costumes, play the musical instruments, set off the fireworks! We hope y’all have lots of fun!
