* Spooky Fog? *
There is usually a cover of thick black fog over all the outdoor areas of Rubi Ka for the duration of the event. Not this year. Thick grey fog did herald the arrival of Deathbones, though. So if you see creepy server notices and grey fog, this still applies.
* Item Store *
The usual jetpack.
* * * Mission NPCs * * * - 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. Draculeet or Frankenleet: r u here 4 trick or treat? * Trick! -> choose a costume * Treat! -> choose an old mission * Do you have anything new for me to do? Frankenleet: j00 no liekz trix or treeetz? * I have played those games with you for my entire life! Frankenleet: U wantz challeng3? I haz frand who needz halp! Or mebbe u liek burried lewt!? * Where can I find your "frand" who needs "halp?" -> Mission: Locate the Hidden Enigma Grove * Burried "lewt"? Did you bury it? -> Mission: It Came From Below (New Mission for 2016)

- 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.
