## 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 include 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 come trick-or-treating at the guild hall. You can tap on a puppy each time it appears and choose either "Treat" or "Trick" from the pop-up window. When "Treat" is chosen, the puppy would take a few event materials and is likely to return for more rather soon. When "Trick" is chosen, the puppy causes 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 is much longer after they had been tricked. Howloween plushie recipes can be unlocked by treating the puppies or cleaning up after their mischief.

### Material Boost

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

The purchase of microtransaction heroes during this event replaces the material boost from advertisements. Buying one hero will give you double the materials from non-event quests, while buying two will give you triple the materials. This version of the boost is 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.

**Note:** Recruiter requires 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] count for Artisan if you have 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 receives one free purchase of the Event Box. After that it can be purchased every 2 days for 50,000  and for 60  in between. If the player has  Event Box tickets, they can 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, refreshes automatically every day at midnight (00:00) local time and can be manually refreshed with a  Refresh Ticket or a successively rising number of gems, starting at 5.

### Event Pass

The Event Pass awards prizes as players collect event materials; additional rewards are available to players who purchase the Gold Pass for 450 gems. Materials requirements increase as players advance through ten stages and act only as criteria, not costs; that is, no materials are taken from inventory as prizes are claimed. The Event Pass window can 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 include two new kinds of tickets, one that grants a free opening of the Event Box , and another that can be used to refresh the prize pool of the Event Box . These tickets do not expire and any still held at the end of the event will be carried over into the next. The Gold Pass can be purchased at any time to receive rewards retroactively from stages already cleared.
