trick or treatFollow

I just finished getting all the trick or treat masks and man does it feel good. Thought Id offer some tips in cse anyone was interested for the NQ area. If you can, get someone to SOW you as well as grabbing a sow totem. Stacked together your speed will be running at 40%. If you have a horse I still suggest this only because manuvering a horse in some of the buildings is a pain in the ***. I tried it.

The goblin starts at the claymore in NQ. I've been trying all ways of doing this, from getting every single NPC in NQ to just running to the clusters of people as many times as I can. Keep in mind each NPC will only give you a treat once every 3-4 minutes. I started around the claymore, worked up to the castle, then to the gaming building, swung back hit up the folks on top of the hill, rgabbed the guards, broker, bank, jewler, and mender areas. Each building I chose had anough people to make it worthwhile plus by the time I did that round the timer would be up for the first NOC I hit and I could redo the circuit.

Keep in mind that you also have to deal with luck. There's no set pattern to whether youre going to get a trick or a treat, and if you get the treats the goblin wnats. I did the round about 4 times and I got anything from 93-122 points per run. You need a minimum of 100 points if you're looking for the Antonia and Lucan masks.

Anyways Im glad Sony put in some entertaining quests for halloween. I've only been back in the game for a couple of weeks but I am enjoying myself thouroughly. GL!

You may need to reload your video driver.

Do you crash in any other zones?

I reduced the graphics setting so now i can trick or treat.

Was a wierd crash i was only getting when trick or treating.

I bought multiple pumkins and bats. I love that stuff. I have really enjoyed this whole event. Someone recently complained somewhere that EQ2 had no sense of humor. Hogwash! I thought the whole event was humerous and showed a lot of planning.

I wasn't able to complete the trick or treat either and may try again. I wasn't sure if zoning into the saucer would take you out of the zone though. I will try that. Thanks

Regarding how much fun this event has been...

I remember the annual Halloween events from EQ and I think the EQ2 version is SOOOO much better.

The EQ event always centered around armys of undead creatures leaving their graves at sundown and ravaging the low level zones like commonlands and Qeynos Hills. Well, you can call me crazy, but being attacked by roving gangs of lvl 35+ large diameter aggro mobs as a lvl 12 noob is not my idea of a good time!

In my first year in EQ, during my first Halloween fest, I quickly learned to stop adventuring every day at sundown, head for town and tradeskill until daylight. While the higher level players were gloating in /ooc about the latest uber drop, I was cowering in front of a forge or sitting on the floor of the bank with my fletching kit open and trying to pass the time until it was safe to venture out again.

The following year, my characters were all high enough level to hold their own against the nightly skellie invasion but since they always appeared in large groups, fighting them solo was still pretty much undoable. So at sundown, I just tended to head for a zone where they weren't!

I much prefer events that are fun to do at any level and not just for full groups of mid to upper classmen.

Oh, yeah... I also bought a full set of items from the gobbo at the door to the haunted house. Took them home and spruced up the place with them! Only won 2 of the masks so far but I will probably try for some more.

And one more thing... I love that the pumpkins that decorate the home villages are movable, (like the boxes in Splitpaw). Even if some goof did pick up every pumpkin in Willow Wood the other night and pile them all on the counter in the bank!

It is fun to have the option to leave some effect on the enviornment and to be able to "adjust" some of the things around you.

So has anyone had the zombie jump out and scare you during random times of play? I was in my house the other day and it happened twice. Scared me half to death I even screamed. All I was doing was working on my merch getting it ready to sell for the night when the zombie popped up. The next day it did it aain at a totally different time. No matter that youve had it done before the suddeness will always scare eyou

This is right on the money. What cracks me up is the fact that the zombie doesn't just jump out... he sidles into vision, then does the oogie-boogie dance. =^_^=

With all this talk of Scare Tactics, I'm too chicken to spend too much time in my room. I think that crow is eyeballing me...
