- Draculeet and Frankenleet - The Halloween mission NPCs are two leets in costumes. There used to be several in each major city, but this year, we have:
middle of Newland: /waypoint 351.5 314.4 566
middle of Borealis: /waypoint 690 590 800
middle of Old Athen: /waypoint 437.6 346.5 540
north in Omni Trade: /waypoint 396.3 525.5 710
Start any of the Halloween missions by talking to either one. The conversations are slightly different, but the missions are the same.

-> Mission: It Came From Below (New Mission for 2016)
* * * Event MOBs * * *
- Uncle Pumpkinhead - The basic wild pumpkin is a "boss" with no special abilities, just lots of health. They're social, but otherwise mind their own business, standing around outside towns and outposts.... What exactly their business is, is a matter of some speculation.
- Griefing Uncle Pumpkinhead -The boss pumpkin staking out various PvP zones
- Ganking Uncle Pumpkinhead -A bigger boss in the SBC-Xpm Alpha-Romeo notum mine
- Harvesting Uncle Pumpkinhead -Rumor has it, there are even bigger Uncles out there than the Griefing and Ganking bosses.
- Hollow Reaper - an open-world raid boss located in Deep Artery Valley
Items not seen for several yearsLet me know if you spot any of these.

Halloween Pitchfork
Splat Shirt
* Spooky Fog? *There used to be a cover of thick black fog over all the outdoor areas of Rubi Ka for the duration of the event. Not since 2015. Thick grey fog did herald the arrival of Deathbones, though. So if you see creepy server notices and grey fog, this still applies.
