2014 Hallowe'en event

Death's Door is the 2014 Hallowe'en event. Players hunt spooky ghosts in Death's mansion and get a variety of rewards, including Ghost hunter equipment, a new Firemaking and Prayer ability, along with titles, emotes and experience.

Starting the event
Start the event by heading to the Burthorpe lodestone and speaking to Muncher, Death's pet skeleton hellhound. After briefly attempting to understand his barks, you will discover that Death's house has been invaded by ghosts. Ask him to take you there, and upon arrival you will see Death.

Talk to him, and he will explain that Melzar the Mad has attacked his house in order to try and control his domain and resurrect the dead of Crandor. Melzar is attacking the mansion using an army of crandorian ghosts, which Death would like you to remove using the Proto pack; a powerful ghost-busting weapon developed by a friend of his.

Ghosts
Climb over the chain and equip the proto pack. The aim of the event is to collect points by dismissing ghosts via the pack, which can then be spent on rewards. Killing stronger ghosts awards more points than killing weaker ones, although they also take longer to dismiss.

To find ghosts, you may either search furniture, or you can aid other players and dismiss their ghosts. Searching moving furniture will generally release stronger ghosts than stationary furniture. Ghosts can be found both on the ground and upper floor of the mansion, although only three ghosts can be active in a room at once.

There are eight different types of ghosts, which can be viewed in the Ghostpedia (accessible via the HUD).

When dismissed, ghosts can drop demonic trace, active ectoplasm, or an ectoplasmator. Additionally, a trophy is given to players who help defeat demonic ghosts, but only one can be obtained per day. Demonic ghosts can only be summoned by using five pieces of demonic trace.

Fear


While in the presence of ghosts (excluding beastial), and also while fighting them, you will gain fear. If you reach 100% fear, you will be scared to death and reappear next to Death, losing 20 reward points, and being reduced to 30% fear. The more powerful ghosts are capable of increasing your fear much faster, some possessing special attacks that increase it significantly. To reduce your fear, you can stand in the moonlight next to windows, which will reduce your fear by 5% every tick. Note that you can not dismiss ghosts while standing in moonlight and ghosts heal when they stand in the moonlight. Moonlight moves around the mansion from window to window. You can also hug Teddy, shine Night lights, or eat chocolates, which can be obtained from chests within the mansion.

The fear amounts are as the following:
 * Weak ghost: 1%
 * Spooky ghost: 5%
 * Wailing ghost: 3%
 * Terrifying ghost: 1%, 5% when causing people to flee
 * Vile ghost: 1%, 15% with attacks
 * Demonic ghost: Same as vile/terrifying

Chests
Occasionally, a chest will spawn in a random location inside the house that grants loot when searched. The chest will only appear for two minutes, and can give bones, big bones, dragon bones, sugar skulls, Toffee apples, chocolates, teddies, Night lights, Demonic trace and active ectoplasm, which can be used to supercharge your proto pack and do more damage to ghosts. A very lucky player can also end up finding an Ectoplasmator (if they don't have one already) or Ghostly essence from a chest. Whenever a chest is spawned, a yellow message will appear in the chatbox stating which floor of the mansion it's on.

Trivia

 * When trying to dismiss ghosts that are already at 0 health the player receives this message: "That ghost is already dying. Or dead. Whatever. The point is that you can't dismiss it." A pun towards ghosts being undead creatures.
 * The event's name, Death's Door, is a play on the saying "Knocking on Death's Door", meaning doing something that could likely get you killed.
 * Protopacks are based on the Proton Packs from the Ghostbusters franchise.
