Halloween event has started!

[Tsukino]

Nothing up on the Lodestone yet, but I guess stuff switched over automatically. NPCs in the usual places in town.

If you're unhappy with the thread, just don't read it and don't reply to it. Or if you only wanted to be helpful, then add something to the thread to make it useful.

As far as I found out, the event NPC will give you a quest named "Impish Impositions" and ask you to go on a patrol in town to discover Imps.

- Imps will pop only at night time, which starts from about 17.30 in-game.
- Sometimes they start popping as late as 19.20.
- The atmosphere and lighting in the city will noticeably change, so you will know it even without looking at the clock.
- Also, you can hear a noise from an imp 2 times a night, once when they start popping, and once when they stop popping.
- Imps will pop in various spots in the town, mostly in a Guild or in front of a Guild.
- First person to talk to the Imp NPC, will get to answer a riddle, if you answer correctly, you get an extra amount of Cookies.
- Everyone can check the Treat Basket on the floor which will pop after the Imp disappears.
- Each basket will yield 3 pumpkin cookies.

*Cookies are for either eating or bringing them to the Quest NPC (Adventurer Guild's Runner) and trade for rewards.*
I believe list of rewards include Pumpkin Hat. I haven't gotten enough cookies to trade in yet, but I've seen people wearing various designs of Pumpkin-head Hat.

There are so many people doing the event in Ul'dah on my server. I am thinking about going to Gridania to see if I can find a more peaceful spot to try to answer the Imp's riddle when I see one.


Additional information,
After taking the quest, when you talk to the NPC again you'll be able to select "Exchange cookies for prizes" which will bring up a list for you to view what headgear are available.

Here's a screenshot of the prize list.

I just wanted people to know it was ready, kind of like how people will post that servers are up following maintenance.

Anyway, you get five cookies if you're the lucky one to answer a question. If you get it correct, you get four more for nine total. All of them are about game lore like Ala Mihgo, Dalamud, etc. The "Suspicious" NPCs do repop, and right before they do you get a /say from them which might make it easier to try and be the first to target them.

The event is really easy all you have to do is check the baskets and let some one else do all the work again!

However the person doing the work gets more of a reward.

This is a bit too toddler for me. It reminds me of Halloween in elementary school.

Even WoW's had a headless horseman.

Oh my God! We have been over this already!.

The games, while both being MMORPG's, treat seasonal events differently!.

[meekriot]

So is there any other rewards than cookies?
