Halloween, the time of ghouls and trick or treating is just around the corner. What would Halloween be without decorations? The citizens of Pokari have begun decorating the city with various decorations to prepare for Halloween. Hopefully it will not keep players too afraid of entering the city of Pokari.

Starting from October 28th to November 1st there will be two daily quests that players can do whenever the Witch of Samhain appears. Be careful because the Witch has been known to be very elusive. Rumors have been heard that she randomly appears in any of the realms from 2 to 15 starting at 8:00 PM Server time each day for a couple hours.




During the event time when you see the witch, there will be a strange invasion of ghastly monsters invading Pokari. Who would you call when there is something strange in the city?? Unfortunately the Ghostbusters were not available, so the citizens of Pokari will have to rely on you.


During the quest, players can talk to the Witch of Samhain to obtain the “Restless Spirits” Quest which will have you defeat the ghosts haunting the town. Players will receive 2 event tokens and 100 spirit tokens as a reward. The quest is can only be completed once per day.

Players can redeem their spirit tokens for prizes from the Witch of Samhain. Here are the various prizes that you can obtain:

Candy Corn (Restore’s Health) 1
Witch's Brew (Restore’s Mana) 1
Foghorn Rooster transformation card 50
Grudge Doll transformation card 50
Animated Corpsek transformation card 75
Bonespear Bandit transformation card 75
Rogueknight Shade transformation card (CAN ONLY BUY 1) 100 Fleeting Phantom Pet (cautious) 150
Fleeting Phantom Pet (fierce) 150
Fleeting Phantom Pet (bright) 150
Fleeting Phantom Pet (normal) 150
Terrorlight Spook Pet (cautious) 150
Terrorlight Spook Pet (fierce) 150
Terrorlight Spook Pet (bright) 150
Terrorlight Spook Pet (normal) 150

Will you help save Pokari from the Haunting of the Restless Spirits?

Another staple of Halloween is obviously Trick or Treating. During our Halloween events, you’ll be able to Trick or Treat throughout various towns in game. 24 NPCs, 8 from each major city, Pokari, Gallio and Amaz has joined the Halloween Spirit and will participate in the Trick or Treat event. This quest is also available each day when you see the Witch of Samhain.

Players will start the quest chain at Witch of Samhain. After that you will talk to each of the participating NPCs in order. Each NPC will either give you a trick or a treat! Players have a 50% chance of getting one of the Trick or Treats.

A Trick would result in them turning you into a haunting monster for 15 seconds. The transformation can be one of the following: Foghorn Rooster, Grudge Doll, Bonespear Bandit, Wandering Wuto or a Fallen Stonecarver.

If you were lucky enough to escape the wrath of the NPC and receive a treat, you will receive one of the following treats: 25 Candy Corn, 25 Witch’s Brew, 25 Egg Tart, Dahaka Champion Card, Tomero Gilgunner Pet.

Here are the NPCs who will be participating in the Trick or Treating Festivities:
