Halloween event

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:

• +200% experience
• +50% drop anything rate
• +50% rare drop rate
• +100% rare enemy rate

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.

Event items

Halloween Cookie ハロウィーンのクッキー A sweet tasty treat. I think someone hungry wants this.. Type : Event Item Max Stack : 99 Hex : 03100E

Main article: Halloween Cookie

During the event, Halloween Cookies will drop from all enemies, regardless of difficulty or episode, at a rate of 1/2000 (with the exception of scared Rappies). Halloween Cookies will not drop from item boxes.

Associated quests

The availability of Halloween Cookies enable 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. Halloween Cookies are event-exclusive items, dropping only during the Ephinea Halloween event.

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.
