2012 Hallowe'en event

⌊undefined⌋

Haunted Houses is the 2012 Hallowe'en event. It is a community-based event, where players must pick a side to hunt ghost haunting houses in RuneScape. Players can start the event in the Varrock square or Falador park by talking to either Brother Righteous for Team Righteous or Brother Heinous for Team Heinous.

Hunting ghosts
There are ghosts haunting the houses of RuneScape. Players can get hints for the locations of the ghosts by talking to the monks, and the locations will reset every two hours. You will receive a notification in the chatbox when the next "wave" begins. Before every "wave", it is required to check in with the monks either in Varrock or Falador.

Once a ghost is found, it can be dismissed, rewarding the player with ectoplasm that can be spent on robes and an ectoplasmator that boosts Prayer experience.

Current Locations
As of 23:22 UTC October 25 2012 1:22:00 GMT until the next wave.
 * Al-Kharid - General Store
 * Seer's Village - Bank
 * Yanille - Hunter shop
 * Draynor - wise old man house
 * Goblin Village

Rewards
Every ghost dismissed earns the player 10 ectoplasm, thus a maximum of 50 ectoplasm can be gained per hunt. Each piece of the robes costs 25 ectoplasm, while the ectoplasmator costs 50.

All rewards, with the exception of the cloaks, are members-only. If you are Free-to-play, you only get the choice of the cloak when you select the option *Shop*. The robes can be switched freely between hallowed and unhallowed versions. The ectoplasmator can only be bought while wearing the full set of robes. A total of 200 ectoplasm points is needed to unlock all of the rewards.
 * Hallowed hood / Unhallowed hood (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed cloak / Unhallowed cloak (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed torso / Unhallowed torso (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed robe skirt / Unhallowed robe skirt (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed gloves / Unhallowed gloves (25 ectoplasm)
 * Hallowed boots / Unhallowed boots (25 ectoplasm)
 * Ectoplasmator (50 ectoplasm )

Tips

 * Ghosts do not appear at all until you are a few squares from them, so make sure you go close to or into the buildings to find them.
 * Watch the in-game message area, as it can mention that you have spotted a ghost in a location if you went near enough to it. If you see this this line but have not seen the ghost yet, look around as you are near it. (You only see this message if you are the first player in a hunt to spot the particular ghost.)
 * Remember that spotting a ghost does not dismiss it. Make sure you actually dismiss it!
 * Ghosts seem to mostly be on the ground floors of buildings, but they can be upstairs too. The "North Varrock" ghost, for example, was on the first floor of the king's castle in Varrock, not the ground floor.
