Halloween event

The Halloween Visual Lobby theme

The Ephinea Halloween event is a minor annual event that occurs during or around the end of the month of October and lasts two weeks.

The Halloween event features the Halloween series of quests, which may be selected at the quest counter at any time of the year, but may only be played through the spending of the featured event-exclusive currency called Halloween Cookies, which drop server-wide.

Additionally, Hallo Rappies will spawn in the VR Temple instead of Love Rappies, and the Visual Lobby will feature the Halloween theme.

Boosts

While the Halloween event does not feature any inherent boosts for normal play, the associated Halloween quests (detailed below) feature large bonuses while played:

Rate	Increase
Drop anything	+50%
Experience	+200%
Rare drop	+50%
Rare enemy	+100%

These boosts are not affected by Ephinea's four rotating weekly boosts, and can only be further increased by playing the quests on Anguish difficulty.

Additionally, while the Halloween event is in progress, playing the Halloween quests grants an additional bonus:

• +20% Halloween Cookie drop rate

The availability of Halloween Cookies enables players to access the Halloween quests, which are a series of single-area, single-room quests with extremely high enemy density for each area in every episode. For each episode, they are located in the "Halloween" quest category (Episode 1, Episode 2, Episode 4).

While these quests may be selected at the quest counter year-round, each Halloween quest requires one member of the party to give one Halloween Cookie to an NPC near the teleporter, in exchange for its activation, for the quest to be played. Only one Cookie must be given to the NPC, and it can be given to the NPC by any member of the party; it does not have to be the party leader, and not every player in the party needs to contribute a Cookie.

Once the teleporter has been activated through the exchange of a Cookie, players will be teleported to a single room in the area of the quest chosen to fight through multiple waves of enemies.
