This holiday, which commemorates some ancient blood rite or other, involves people dressing in weird clothes and going door-to-door threatening to commit acts of petty vandalism unless the homeowner gives you candy. It's good fun for all involved, except the half-orc hoboes, who complain that when they do exactly the same thing, they get arrested.

Details

Halloween is that time of year when Adventurers dress up and scam candy off total strangers. Or something. It occurs each Porktober 8. To go trick-or-treating, you need an outfit. Visit up to twelve houses per block, getting nasty tricks (i.e. combats) or sweet treats for no Adventure cost! Move on to the next block for five Adventures. Trick-or-treating is available both from Trick or Treat! in Seaside Town and the announcement on the main map.

Special Items

Whatever your outfit, there are ten possible generic results, dependent on the type of house you're visiting:

Depending on your outfit, you can also receive the following treats (these adventures override 3 of the lit houses in each block):

Special Adventures

Halloween XI

On Halloween XI, the four existing generic results were replaced by these seven generic Crimbo-themed adventures (Foreshadowing Crimboween):

Halloween XX

Halloween XX introduced new special combat adventures. These adventures feature monsters that scale to your stats, similar to those found during the Feast of Boris or El Dia de Los Muertos Borrachos. These adventures do not occur while trick-or-treating (or in any other place that does not invoke adventure.php).

Wearing one of the special hats dropped by these combat adventures allows you to trick-or-treat (without an outfit), yielding a new set of trick-or-treat adventures:

Halloween XXV

During Halloween XXV, The Shivering Timbers location opened up in the Distant Woods.

Wearing one of the special hats dropped in this location allows you to trick-or-treat (without an outfit), yielding a new set of trick-or-treat adventures:

Also, a special one-time adventure was added, which dropped an item useful in The Shivering Timbers:

Halloween XL

A special one-time adventure was added, which dropped an item during the Silent Invasion:

Halloween XLVI (Cinco de Halloween)

The generic non-combats were on this day replaced with various Spanish-talking, cocktail-giving, house-dwelling NPCs. Erm, the non-combats were replaced with other non-combats which contained aforementioned NPCs.

Halloween XLVIII

Several new monsters were occasionally encountered, all of whom had larger-than usual heads. With the soul knife equipped, they drop mimeplasm in addition to candy.

History

Trick-Or-Treat revamp

The format of Trick-Or-Treating was drastically changed on October 25, 2013. Instead of being individual adventures in Seaside Town, the "Trick-Or-Treating" adventure zone now opens a block of 12 houses. Selecting a house goes to that house to trick-or-treat. This yields any number of different outcomes. Visiting a house does not cost an adventure.

At any time, you can choose to scope out a new block. This costs 5 adventures, and refreshes all the houses on the block (while also randomizing the house images).

New combat adventures have been observed:

Along with the outfit candies, five new candies are dropping. Three of these grant 10 adventures of an effect granting +15 to either Muscle (Milk Studs,) Mysticality (Box of Dweebs,) or Moxie (Bag of W&Ws.) Also dropped are the booze-enhancing Swizzlers, and the highly "collectable" PEEZ dispensers.

Finally, there is A Fun-Size Dilemma, in which the player is offered a choice to "Take the whole bowl" or "Resist the temptation." Both options will result in a huge bowl of candy.

Prior to the revamp on Halloween XLIV, these six generic adventures occurred instead:

Notes

Without an outfit you receive the following message:

You can't go Trick-or-Treating without a costume!

You can go Trick-or-Treating while falling-down drunk.

You can Trick-or-Treat with zero HP. However, you will immediately lose any combats you encounter.

You will receive your outfit's special adventure approximately 40% of the time, and one of the generic adventures the other 60%.

According to Xenophobe, there was never an intention for Radio Free Regalia to have its own Halloween yield and adventure.
