## New Cats

The Halloween Event 2017 was a full event in *Castle Cats* that was added in version 1.6.1. The event started on September 20 and ended on November 9. The first part of this event brought six new cats, two that could be purchased with real money, and four that could be acquired through Alchemy. Additionally, it featured the return of the two cats from last year's Halloween event. It also added new armory costumes for three cats, as well as new customization options for your guild leader.

In version 1.6.2, four more cats were added, three more armory costumes for your cats, and new customization options for your guild leader.

## Trivia

* Kyle's Vampire Costume sparkles, a reference to the "sparkly vampires" from Twilight. Twilight is referenced again in the dialogue when Francis says, "Vampires don't sparkle" and Kyle says, "... They do too."
* To purchase everything by way of microtransaction, without going on any Quests, the user would need 1,200 gems and 10,130 of each material. This translates to, at minimum: an 800 gem pack (15 USD), a 400 gem pack (10 USD), and 26 of the 400 materials packs (3 USD each), as well as the three purchase-only cats (5 USD each), totaling ~118 USD, not counting tax (where applicable).
	+ On the other side of the equation, if we consider an optimization for speed, assuming no failures and a continuous ad boost, it would take 235 hours and 15 minutes, or about 10 and a half days of continuous play, to collect enough materials for everything without needing to purchase any materials. This would drop microtransaction needs down to the purchase only cats and maybe the gem packs (depending on their 5% gem luck, luck with gem rewards on standard Quests, their Guild level up rate, and how many story/event quests they have remaining).
		- 10 quests spread out among levels 1 and 2 can typically all be completed within a single quest board cycle, with at least half of a cycle worth of time to spare, gaining 30 random materials every 15 minutes. 30,390 total materials across all three material types would take 1,013 15-minute cycles to collect, not accounting for random spread.
