## Content

### Shop

*Heroes were unlocked throughout the event.*

### Hero Outfits

One brand new hero outfit was introduced in this event for the following hero:

### Alchemy

Event-specific and non-story quests during this time included the following limited time drops: Howloween materials of lollipops, spiders, and pumpkins.

#### **Hero Eggs**

These materials are used in Alchemy to make the following eggs:

#### **Plushies**

*Note: Plushies can only be unlocked in guilds that have reached level 50.*

To celebrate Howloween, the puppies Charlie and Quinn occasionally came trick-or-treating at the guild hall. You could tap on a puppy each time it appears and choose either "Treat" or "Trick" from the pop-up window. When "Treat" was chosen, the puppy would take a few event materials and was likely to return for more rather soon. When "Trick" was chosen, the puppy caused mayhem in the guild hall by enshrouding it in purple fog, setting fire to the cauldron, covering the barracks with black mist, entangling the individual materials stations in vines, or making all heroes bigger. The duration between the puppies' return visits was much longer after they had been tricked. Howloween plushie recipes could be unlocked by treating the puppies or cleaning up after their mischief.

### Material Boost

If there were ads to watch in the system, the ads button would appear. When activated, the material boost gave you double the amount of Event material on non-event quests.

The purchase of microtransaction heroes during this event replaced the material boost from advertisements. Buying one hero would give you double the materials from non-event quests, while buying two would give you triple the materials. This version of the boost was permanent for the duration of the event itself.

### Event Badges

#### Tasks

In-game click on the Spider Web in the bottom left corner to access Event Badges.

 Lorekeeper [I, II]

**Note:** Recruiter required actual money to be paid, though it makes sense considering the final reward of a 14-day VIP ticket needs a $10 purchase to be useful.

**Note 2:** The badge outfit rewards [for 5 badges and 7 badges] counted for Artisan if you had no other variations of that type.

### Event Box

**Buy the Event Box and get a Random Reward!**

At the start of the event, each player received one free purchase of the Event Box. After that it could be purchased every 2 days for 50,000  and for 60  in between. If the player had  Event Box tickets, they could be used to buy the Event Box by enabling "Use Tickets" next to the buying option.

The prize pool, consisting of 9 different, randomly chosen avatar items, heroes, hero outfits and materials, refreshed automatically every day at midnight (00:00) local time and could be manually refreshed with a  Refresh Ticket or a successively rising number of gems, starting at 5.

### Event Pass

The Event Pass awarded prizes as players collected event materials; additional rewards were available to players who purchased the Gold Pass for 450 gems. Materials requirements increased as players advanced through ten stages and acted only as criteria, not costs; that is, no materials were taken from inventory as prizes were claimed. The Event Pass window could be found by tapping the spider web icon in the bottom left of the guild hall screen and then opening the third tab on the right.

#### **Requirements and Rewards**

Rewards included two new kinds of tickets, one that granted a free opening of the Event Box (pink with gold star), and another that could be used to refresh the prize pool of the Event Box (blue with circular arrow). These tickets do not expire and any still held at the end of the event would be carried over into the next. The Gold Pass could be purchased at any time to receive rewards retroactively from stages already cleared.
