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 blissful wrapped 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. If the costume is good enough, the trick-or-treat victims will let the player know. Players must wear at least two pieces of the below costumes to qualify as a costume.

Wendy, Maggie's apprentice, will give fashion tips, and suggest places to get costume pieces.

Trogs, Maggie's purple cat, will tell you how many pieces of costume you're wearing - if you are wearing the Catspeak amulet.

Trick emote is required when you trick-or-treat an NPC and they choose trick. Players who look in Maggie's Cauldron will learn the Trick emote. If player has not received them already, the Scared and Zombie hand emotes can also be unlocked.

Trick or treating

Note that killable NPCs, such as men and women cannot be trick or treated. There are 27 NPCs in all that give candy.

There are 9 in Draynor Village: Olivia, Fortunato, Diango, Miss Schism, Ned, Aggie, Morgan, the Farmer and Leela.

There are 13 in Port Sarim: Ahab, Jack Seagull, Longbow Ben, Redbeard Frank, Brian, Betty, Grum, Gerrant, Seaman Lorris, Seaman Thresnor, Captain Tobias, Wydin, and Klarense

There are 5 in Rimmington: Hetty, Brian, Rommik, Shopkeeper, and Shop assistant.

Treats
NPCs give out three treats during this event. They are all non-tradable, although scammers are offering to sell them to others. All will disappear at the end of the event.

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. Equipping Warlock items on a female character will make them turn into Witch items, and vice versa.

The Grim reaper hood is also obtainable after the event, even if you never got it. It appears in the Toy box in your Player-owned house.

Trivia

 * The Wise Old Man will not give players any candy. You say "Trick-or-tr" and then he says "Don't even think about it." Most likely because he thinks you're going to take his party hat that he stole in the as seen in the Draynor Village bank surveillance camera.
 * Penguins have taken this opportunity to spy on humans using a Jack-o-lantern as a disguise, they are usually seen in the jail east of Draynor and on Entrana near the runecrafting altar.
 * Players who have not started the event, yet received the emote will say "Boo!" when attempting to trick-or-treat. Not only will the player not receive candy, but will also be made fun of by the NPC.
