2008 Hallowe'en event

The 2008 Hallowe’en event was released on 28 October, at the same time as the Swept Away quest. It will likely end somewhere around 11 November.

General Info
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. The cheapest, easiest to obtain costume, that works, is the white apron from Gerrant's bait shop (free), and the black wizard hat, obtained from Betty for 3 gold pieces.

Maggie, the person north of the cart, event and quest started by talking bought that item with her. (cart is north of Melzar's Maze

Wendy, Maggie's apprentice, will give fashion tips, suggest places to get costume pieces, and starts the Purple cat miniquest.

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 will also be unlocked.

Costumes
The following items will work as part of your costume, but this list doesn't cover them all (You need to have at least two costume components to get a treat):

Trick or treating
After donning your costume you can now Trick or treat, which is done by right-clicking on an NPC and clicking "Trick or Treat". If you're going to trick or treat for Maggie, make sure you talk to Wendy and look into the cauldron first before you go off to get the candy. 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 in wheat field east of Draynor, 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 (seaman lorris, seaman thresnor, and captain tobias all ask for trick most of the time), Wydin, and Klarense

There are 5 in Rimmington: Hetty, Brian, Rommik, Shopkeeper, and Shop assistant. (Note: NPCs can be tricked again after waiting a few minutes)

Treats
NPCs give out three kinds of treats during this event. They are all non-tradable. Each treat heals 3 hit points. All will disappear at the end of the event. Popcorn balls seem to be the most common and it seems that you can only get wrapped candies and chocolate drops from doing tricks.

Note:If you don't get all the treats you need, you can talk back to the NPC's again after a few minutes.

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 skirt, 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.
 * Trick emote.

Trivia

 * If you try and take from any of the seed or wine stalls and talk to the ones running them after trick-or-treating, they don't seem to remember and talk to you back without saying, "He/She's the one who stole from me! Guards! Guards!"
 * 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."
 * Penguins have taken this opportunity to spy on humans using a Jack-o-lantern or a Pumpkin as a disguise, they are usually seen in the jail east of Draynor and on Entrana near the runecrafting altar and as far away as the Wilderness and Morytania.
 * Players who have not yet received the Trick 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.
 * Players who had a toybox could find a Grim reaper hood after the event was introduced, even if they did not get it during the 2007 Halloween Event. This is a glitch and is now fixed. Anyone who obtained the Grim reaper hood from the toybox and not from the event had their Grim reaper hood disappear.
 * When a player dies during this event, Death will appear and reap them once they are dead.
 * If you use trick or treat on the pirates like Jack Seagull, Ahab and Longbow Ben they will speak proper English.
 * If you have the item " Zombie Head", you cannot scare people with it, whereas its original purpose was to trick or treat anyway.
 * Members only costume parts still work on free worlds.
 * When unlocking the "Scared" emote, the game referes to it as the "Terrified" emote.
 * During the event, the pixie house in Draynor Village remains inaccessible; Even if the door to the house is open, no one can enter. Jagex has declared that this is not a glitch.
 * If you use your purple cat on the cat box in POH's the cat will be deformed.
 * During the part of the event where you need to retreive Betty's wand, the magic slate refers to the animal in the north-center pen as a raven, while ingame it is called a blackbird.
