Joy

Joy is used for currency in the Hallowtide event, and can be traded for Hallowtide exclusive items. You can check how much Joy you have by either talking to Lysander Spellhardt, Glaive Spellhardt or Galpin Spellhardt, though this requires that you have made a Hallowtide Mask first.
Joy is bound to your character. If your slot wipes, and you make a new character, Joy will NOT be transferred over.
Generally, it is recommended for you to to buy the Hallowtide '22, '23, and '24 Medals, the Hallowtide Aspect Variants, and (optionally) the Spectral Instrument Set first. As the all the yearly medals will allow you to unlock Hallowtide-exclusive weapons and equipments with knowledge after the event is over. Which also includes the Harrowing enchantment and Pumpkin Pitch mantra.
==Obtainment==
Joy can be obtained in 2 ways:
#Spooking stationary NPCs with the Hallowtide Mask. This gives you 3 Joy per NPC spooked, with a cooldown of 30 minutes for each NPC. Guards and similar NPCs cannot be spooked.
#By doing the Gourdskipper Trial. There are 2 ways to get Joy by doing this trial.
#*Firstly, by surviving each wave, which gives you 3 Joy per wave. There is a total of 8 waves, and once you complete the whole trial, you get 16 Joy on top of it. Ultimately giving you 40 Joy per full trial.
#*Secondly, by getting infected, and infecting people. Which gives you 3 Joy per people you infect.
