2008 Hallowe'en event



The 2008 Hallowe’en event was released on 28 October, at the same time as the Swept Away quest.

To start the Hallowe'en event, players have to travel to Maggie's encampment, north of Rimmington and south of Falador. She asks the player to collect treats for her.

During the event, players have to bring her six clusters of delicious popcorn balls, four tempting chocolate drops and five tasty hard candies by going around Rimmington, Port Sarim and Draynor Village doing trick-or-treating. Each non-player character in those areas can be trick-or-treated multiple times if enough time has passed between two consecutive trick-or-treats. Both shopkeepers and their assistants can both be done. Any character that is killable cannot be trick-or-treated.

Before players can obtain any treats they have to dress appropriately. Players can talk to Wendy, Maggie's apprentice, for fashion tips. If the costume is good enough, the trick-or-treat victims will let the player know. Members can, with the aid from a Catspeak amulet, talk to a cat there to check how many pieces of costumes is wearing.

Players who look in Maggie's Cauldron will learn the Trick emote.

Trick or treating

There are 8 in Draynor Village: Olivia, Fortunato, Diango, Miss Schism, Ned, Aggie, Morgan, and Leela.

Rewards
Once all the items have been collected, players return to Maggie for their reward. Players will get a Warlock top, Warlock legs and a Warlock cloak if their character is male, and a Witch top, Witch bottom, and Witch cloak if their character is female.

Talking to Wendy about the purple cat allows you to change you cat into a purple one :) though this takes time and logic, you have to swap the animals once more this time it will be harder(quite harder) trying with one puzzle too long wont make any progress, you will be better off trying again

Trivia

 * Players who have completed Desert Treasure and the Ghostly robes miniquest do not need to talk to Wendy about a costume, as the Ghostly robes seem to also scare people.
 * The Wise Old Man cannot be tricked into giving players candy. You say "Trick-or-tr" and then he says "Don't even think about it."
 * Penguins have taken this opportunity to spy on humans using a Jack-o-lantern as a disguise.
 * Players who had have not started the event and recieve the emote would say "Boo!" when attempting to trick-or-treat. Not only would the player not recieve candy, but would be made fun of by the NPC.
