Pumpkin Night, Troy and the Training Grounds

Halloween is back from 27 October to 9 November: hunt ghosts in the new Haunted Labyrinth, fight the other faction over the Halloween Devil at the Witching Hour, and forge the new Pumpkin King Suit. Also in this patch: three events that were in the game but never worked now open. The Trojan Expedition sends the Greek army against Troy every Thursday night, five Trojan heroes one after another, with a treasure chest for each one and guild and personal prizes afterwards. Training Ground 1, 2 and 3 at the Instance Caller are a timed party run with a boss at the end, a large EXP reward and a title. Pan's Envoys now trade the six parts of Pan's Invitation, and the letter they make opens Pan's Labyrinth on weekends. Battles and world bosses now also pay Battle Coins, spent in the new Coin Shop tab of the Battlepass window.

Halloween 2026: Pumpkin Night

From 27 October to 9 November (server time, UTC+8), level 20 and up. The ghosts have fled into the new Haunted Labyrinth, the Halloween Devil rises in the middle of the Labyrinth at the Witching Hour, and the Halloween Envoy in each capital is where it all starts.

Getting started Halloween Envoy, Athens and Sparta
  • Claim today's 20 Halloween Wands from the Envoy. Every wand try uses one wandNew
  • Choose "Enter the Haunted Labyrinth". You arrive beside its Main City Transporter, which takes you home at any timeNew
  • Keep 3 bag slots free: a single capture can give candy, Chocolate and a Trick-Or-Treat! at onceNote

The Halloween Look

For Pumpkin Night the game dresses up. Everything here goes back to normal after the event.

Athens and Sparta
  • The statue fountain in each capital's square is gone: a heap of giant pumpkins sits in its basin, carved faces glowing, draped in spider webs, with spiders lying in waitNew
  • Both capitals fall into a Halloween dusk: autumn reds and golds on every tree and lawn, dusky stone, violet water and crystals, and lamps glowing like lanternsNew
  • Little pumpkins, some of them carved, sprout among the flowerbedsNew
  • Halloween music plays in both capitals and their newbie areas, and in the Haunted LabyrinthNew
Login and interface
  • The login screen turns to night: a pumpkin moon and bats over withered fields, and the logo reads Pumpkin NightNew
  • The login and character screens play the Halloween musicNew
  • The interface's glowing bars and highlights turn pumpkin orange, and its vines turn to autumn leaves. The map legend and the minimap markers keep their usual coloursNew

Mechanics: the Ghost Hunt

Stand within 5 steps of a Spooky Ghost and use a Halloween Wand on it. Only wands work on ghosts: skills, pets, burns, stuns and freezes no longer touch them. A wand can be used about twice a second.

How it works
  • A miss raises your next try by 10% (pity), up to 95%. A capture resets it to 55%New
  • A streak grows when you capture again within 90 seconds of your last capture, up to x5. A miss or a longer pause starts it overNew
  • Every capture: the streak's Pumpkin Candy, 250 B-Gold and 100,000 EXPNew
  • Every capture also has a 15% chance of a Chocolate (+2% damage for 1 hour), 3% of a Halloween Trick-Or-Treat! (a "golden soul") and 1% of a Soul LanternNew
  • Your first capture of the event gives the Halloween Hunter title, and every capture counts towards the Battlepass Ghost Hunt task (20 a day, 300 points)New
  • If another hunter captures the ghost first, your wand comes back. A captured ghost returns about a minute laterNote
  • The Haunted Labyrinth is not a safe zone: the other faction hunts there too. Fall there and you return to your capital, unless you pay to revive on the spotNote

Mechanics: the Witching Hour

At 06:00, 11:00, 18:00 and 23:00 the Halloween Devil rises in the middle of the Haunted Labyrinth, at the central crossroads (2, 0), with a warning five minutes before. The Labyrinth is not a safe zone, so both factions fight over it. It stays for 30 minutes, and only Halloween Wands can harm it.

Who Needs Reward when it falls
Every hunter on its map500,000 wand damage in total5 Pumpkin Candy, 10,000 B-Gold, Battle Coins, Halloween Boss Executioner title
Battle CoinsYour faction won the race100 (50 otherwise)
Top damagerThe most wand damagealso a Ghost Egg, Magic Jade: Ghost, 10% a Soul Lantern
Killing blowA wand strike that brings it downthe same as the top damager
How it works
  • The Devil has 25,000,000 HP. Each wand strike deals 100,000 to 500,000 (about 300,000 on average) and gives half its damage as EXP, with a 15% chance of a ChocolateNew
  • Every strike counts towards your share, including the one that brings it down. Be on its map when it falls to be paidNew
  • It keeps its wounds if it walks back to its spot, so the hunt never starts overNote
  • The faction race: when the Devil falls, the faction whose players dealt it more wand damage wins the Witching Hour (on a tie, the faction of the killing blow). Every online player of that faction gets Trick or Treat, +10% EXP for 30 minutesNew
  • A Devil still standing after 30 minutes escapes until the next Witching HourNote
  • The Devil no longer appears in Athens or Sparta. Reach the Labyrinth through the Halloween Envoy in your capitalChanged

Mechanics: the Halloween Envoy

In Athens and Sparta. Every limit is per character, daily limits reset at midnight server time, and last year's claims no longer count.

  • Pumpkin Carriage: a brand-new mount. You ride inside a whole glowing pumpkin, with gold bands, a gold crown and a curling stem on top, and a window on every side so you can still be seen. Its wheels turn as it rolls and its lantern swings. A scarecrow chauffeur bounces on the box, shakes the reins on the run and looks around while you stand still, and a Scarecrow Steed pulls the coach. The same stats as the Flying Dragon Spirit: +28% movement speed, MaxHP +12,000, MaxMP +1,800, Hit +150 and Dodge +76. Nine tiers (level 40 to 120), and it does not expire.

Fixes
  • Using a Halloween Wand on a ghost that had just vanished disconnected youFixed
  • A missed wand try used up the wand but showed the "already dead" messageFixed
  • Two hunters hitting the same ghost could both be paid for itFixed
  • The Halloween Devil came back with no HP a minute after it fell, so one more hit "killed" it for full rewardsFixed
  • The Envoy's candy exchange ran all year, and its daily count could carry over from the day beforeFixed
  • The Envoy's Trick-Or-Treat option never appeared, and one of its replies showed the wrong textFixed
