Ok managed to pull this one trough before i have to leave for 2 weeks! Important that you try to read as much as possible about this event, and especially the rules!

General intro:
This year you have to face the spoopiest monster ever! And face him in his own home!

The event will take place in the same dungeon as the hallowed void event i did a few years back, but new monsters and new mechanic!
Each monster will tell you how many decos/items it can drop, and in how many special colors.
(Sure makes their name a bit more boring, but hey, more info is nice!)
(And the special rare hue for the bat deco is quite hard to spot, but it is very slightly different, but you will see its eyes alot better with this hue)

The first area is pretty scarce with monsters, and it has a healer and a corpse stone there.

The main dungeon is pretty much straightforward, normal dungeon typed event that i have done in the past.
This year there will be no headless knight! (or will there? hah hah hah hah)
But this years twist is the spoopiest boss you ever met!

You need to slaughter the pumpkin wards that keeps the boss away from this realm, find each ward in each of the broken towns. (will make sense when you are there)
Kill 30 of them, and the gate to the boss will appear for 1hour! (the gate will spawn near the normal gate)

The Boss! (The Spoopiest) [The Competition]
Ok this one will be quite the different one!
The boss will remain in the mansion for one hour after spawning it..
You will not be able to kill it, but that is not the point either!

Your goal is to make as much damage to it as possible, during the period of this event.
Pet's will not give you any damage points, but will act as temporary tanks. (But it does walk slowly).
Damage done to this boss is stored on your person, and will remain troughout the whole event, so when the boss despawns and then when it spawns again, the damage will NOT reset. (The damage you have done towards the boss that is).
You will understand when you hit it.

From time to time when you hit it, it will tell you how much damage you have done to the boss in total.
(This is the only way for you to know how much damage you have done to it).

When the event is over (sometimes after November 10th.. could be November 11th or some day after there)
The player that have the most damage to the boss, wins!
And the grand price is the huge pumpkin you see in Luna bank.
There will be more rewards than the pumpkin, everyone that have atleast tried and done some damage will get a peacock feather and some deco.
And the more you score, the more peacock feathers you will  get and possibly other deco.
(Peacock feathers is needed to make the new peacock ethy mount for those that missed it)

But for now i think that only the grand winner will get that huge pumpkin (plus peacock feathers and the other deco the other players get)

What you need to be careful of when you are fighting the boss!
Im going to be kind to you all, and tell you exactly what the bosses main abilities are, to help you survive! (Insurance cost is disabled in the mansion region, ie you will not loose insurance in that region)

-Pumpkin ray!
From time to time, the boss will spew out pumpkins, and has a chance to combo this laser several times. Each time it goes a little bit faster.
During the laser, he will loose 50% in all resists, and each time he combo it, he will loose another 50% resist.
So he will be at minus 150% resist at the max combo. (Time to use those crushing blow weapons to deal devastating damage to it!)
Damage level: ++++
Range: Circle

-Pumpkin Bomb!
This is a nice treat for all the ones that cast spells or have spells on their weapons.
He will throw a pumpkin bomb at your location, and it will do a countdown and explode after 3 seconds.
(The more spells the boss gets, the higher the chance he will throw this)
Damage level: ++++++
Range: 2 tiles around the pumpkin bomb.

-Magic Pumpkin Missile!
This special ability will come from time to time, the more hits from weapons the boss gets, the larger the chance it will do this ability. It will spawn a magic missile for each player around. You will get a huge red text warning when he is doing this ability, and when he spawns the pumpkin missiles, it will take 2 seconds before they arm themself. So if you see a magic missile pumpkin spewing fire when it runs towards you, run faster! (Players furthur away from the boss will have their stamina reset to 0, to give melee players a fair chance)
Damage level: ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Range: 1 tile around it when it explodes, but the missiles can only travel 25 tiles before running out of fuel and explodes.

Plus some other abilities like melee reflect or magic reflect, and a spoopy gump attack.
(It will switch colors when it reflects)

The boss will also give out a very nice deco once you reach a million damage mark. (You will get a message and the deco will be given to you in your backpack.. This deco can also be d-clicked at your own risc to get a very unique costume of the boss. (This costume is not in the random costume deeds)

Otherwise the boss will walk quite slowly and its melee damage aint that terrible.



Ok time for rules and important info!

-Your corpse cannot be looted by other players, neither in main dungeon nor in the mansion.

-The Mansion is completely safe from PvP

-The main dungeon will fall under my usual halloween ruleset, 'Semi-PvP allowed'
It is a Felucca rules dungeon, but!!!!!!!!! (your corpse cannot get looted for one thing).
This is important so listen up, I will allow players to kill other players '1-2' times, maybe 3 during the whole event. So yea, if someone overdoes it, please send a screenshot to me! very important, and bring in your journal in that screenshoot too!.
Exceptions to this rule: If they are fighting you (Macro accidents can happen, but try not to overdo it, i dont want to see PvP players trying to completely ruin it for non-PvP players). So yea, if they try to kill you too, and actually kill you.. you are a fair person to hunt, but also if the player is trash talking, hunt is on!
Otherwise, if you are a PvPer, abide by these rules or get punished.
Sounds a bit wierd yes, but it have worked in the past. No point in trying to change this. It is a way to try to be fair to everyone.
-There is a small area around the public gate that works as a safe zone, good to know!
-There are stealables in this event, even a major one. Dont ask about them!
-And this should be obvious, but do not afk farm in the event (or afk farm monsters at all.. This is your only warning)
-Have fun!

And the final thing,
HOW TO ENTER the event, you need to have read the rules carefully, and read about the competition boss, and try to compete, participants will get a reward too!
But to enter, you need to say "Yes to spoopy" to the pumpkin in Luna bank! (You gotta stand near it, and after 1 second it will teleport you to the dungeon)


Its hard to please everyone..
But..
I think i can say im among the best people teaser that exists at the moment.

hotfix:
-Linked Gates now comes blessed (small side effect from removing personal blessings from donation store)
-The halloween boss will now:
-Give you a proper warning message that looks way better for the missiles.
-Tell you how much damage you have done to it in a green text instead, easier to read in the spam.
-The pumpkin ticking bombs will now be instantly visible on the ground when it throws it at you.
-The Magic missiles will now:
a)More often kill themself when they have lost target instead of blowing up
b)Not change targets, and die after 8 seconds after spawning (6 seconds after they got the message) incase they havnt moved or lost its first target.
c)Will now upon reaching a player, jump onto them and then blow up. This will cause slightly less wierd deaths when you are near a player that gets chased. Now the area is 1 tile around the player, and not 1 tile arounmd where the magic missile hit the player.
-AoE attacks from weapons (Hit fire area example.. not WW) Will no longer hit players at all, will still work as normal on monsters.
-The boss will now properly despawn after 1 hour
-Players can now properly res the vet and healing training target
-Removed the gump based attack on the spoopy boss.
-Fixed the issue where the 1m dmg mark reward could be d-clicked even if it was locked down in some occations. (was just one word missing.. sigh)
-Also patching the servers uo client, could help with some bugs maybe?
-You can no longer kill players in the newbie dungeon. (I thought the previous deaths that happened a few months ago occured due to the fact that the newbie dungeon region was bypassed due to me making it larger ingame).
-Bandage should hopefully properly reveal you when used, even if you use the new ingame macro.
-Rewrote the hiding skill code, should better reflect and work as intended. Apparently as fast as you went above 100% it started to mess with the code and go into some negative range areas.
Its hard to please everyone..
But..
I think i can say im among the best people teaser that exists at the moment.
