Trick or Treat Adventure

[NorthWoodsKingdom]

Let's talk trick-or-treating, shall we? lol
Who recalls those youthful, giddy solitary nights of each year when Mom made you put on too many warm clothes underneath your cheap (or homemade) costume? You would sometimes don a crappy mask that made it impossible to see & always got too sweaty on the inside or you wore makeup that somehow ended up getting on every piece of clothing you had on that night. You carried a plastic pumpkin with a handle or a pillowcase or sometimes, even a paper bag. Sometimes you wore the wrong shoes, somehow forgetting from the previous year how much walking was involved in this endeavor. No matter what, *something* you wore always ended up hurting or being extremely uncomfortable.
I know I remember those days, quite vividly!
I also remember the excitement once returning home and dumping my plastic pumpkin or bag of booty from the night --- to investigate, count, separate, categorize, and compare with my fellow trick-or-treaters before deciding what to eat first. Sometimes it'd be something fun like glittery stickers or a spooky spider ring. Mostly it was individually wrapped pieces of delicious CANDY - jawbreakers, bubble gum, suckers, and every chocolate candy bar known to exist. Rarely, it'd be an apple or something homemade, like Rice Krispy treats (which Mom always made me throw away because, well a razor blade could be in that apple or the homemade stuff could be POISONED! lol). Even more rarely, it'd be something dreadfully useful, like a pencil or other school supplies or even worse - a toothbrush or dental floss. *shove aside, lol*

This is what I *don't* remember ..... walking up to somebody's house in my (awesome! lol) costume, ringing the doorbell, yelling "trick or treat!" while shoving my bag in their faces....and being handed COAL (isn't that just a joke, for bad kids at CHRISTMAS!?) or TRUFFLES (had no clue what those were, as a kid -- are they chocolate bon-bons? lol) or JEWELS (my mama wishes! lol).
Granted, the coal can be turned into jewels for those with the 4th knowledge shard, which helps with making tiaras but then why doesn't the adventure also drop fur, silver or other ingredients required for the other costumes? That just seems randomly, nonsensically biased. lol
Truffles...really? Aren't most players always maxed on those and even if they're not, what are they good for, besides feeding the baron and more importantly - How do they help with this event???
In addition to the parchment bats & ghosts and candy corn (which, btw, is NOT like a jelly bean, lol, totally different consistency), I would think that we'd get other sweet stuff, too. I realize this event is for players as low as level 15, so of course that takes out any chance for candy bon bons or teacakes to drop...and jeez, I suppose that also takes out CHOCOLATE too (that menu item doesn't become available until level 20-something, right?), but there are at least a couple of other things that could (& should) be dropping that are relevant to trick-or-treating and available to level 15 players otherwise.... Apples, a GOLDEN apple!, glimmerdust, creepy teeth, bones and most importantly ---SUGAR!!!
You'd also think the adventure would give a better energy return than 0 or 3, too. Meh.

In the end (& my point, finally lol) ..All I know is if I was ever allowed to go out trick-or-treating for EIGHT WHOLE HOURS (good lord, can you imagine?? lol), you can bet that I would come home with *A LOTTTTTT* more than these 3 lil "goblins" are bringing back to my queendom! What a sad, sad haul. I woulda cried til Christmas if that's all I managed to get, as a kid.
Ivy's right; my "princess", "witch" and "fangbeast" need to be saying "TRICK OR TREAT!!!!" with just a little more enthusiasm! lol

Another thing - during the Pyre Festival, sunstones weren't gathered from a special sunstone-only adventure; they could be obtained from most of the regular adventures, which also made it possible to get them from the barracks. Whyyyyy isn't the trick-or-treat adventure available in the barracks???

Annnnd another thing, lol... my adventure #16 is currently out (3/day + 2 on event start date) and I've yet to get a single special crate with a hayride, spooky scarecrow or anything else...and some already have 2+ of each! Wahhhh, lol

So, has anyone else gotten better (or different) adventure drops than truffles or coal with their bats, ghosts & candy corn???

Sorry, NOT accepting new neighbors, can hardly keep up with the demanding ones I currently have, lol. *kiss* :o

I'm just getting the bats, ghosts, candy corn & occasional energy. Maybe gotten coal, I don't remember. I don't know how many adventures I've done but today will be the first day I'll most likely only have completed 2 since I overslept this morning. That 8 hr or so turn around finally got to me.
And I haven't gotten a single crate with an extra "goody" either. So we're in the same boat there.

Sugar as an additional drop would have been great since Rudy has completely quit dropping that for me. He has been dropping fur or ice cream more often than not. I don't think I've gotten sugar from him in maybe 2 weeks. Guess I'll have to hold back on that special hay I've been feeding him...lol.

[reliquary]

Iknow,rite!! I remember coming back from trick or treating with sticky fingers, ravaging some neighbors kids house with piles of sorted candies all over their living room floor. A gaggle of us bouncing off the walls on a sugar high with greasepaint and plastic costumes all over everything.

Energy is key in this event, adventures coming back w/ 5-6 energys is pretty much lame. An awesome playing experience is when *occasionally* I can be totally wrapped up in the game for a longer than the normal amount of time. Instead of just clearing the nessetities in ~5 minutes each morning, it would be rad to *occasionally*grant enought energy to keep it going for say, 20+minutes of tapping fun.

I do really appreciate that needed items were evenly spread in workshop, forge and potion shop......a trade in the exchange for ghosts and bats would be perfect....cause who doesn't like a trade ticket! The materials needed for this challenge sure put a hold on most of the current trades, but let's see what next Thursday holds!

I have 2 accounts, one at lv 40 something, one at lv 15. Low level players always need sap and glimmerdust.
Higher levels are running out of silver. I can't imaging sending out 3 trades a day w/o 2 deep mines.....that must be impossible. And yeah, I bet they would love a golden apple.....or some lanterns to light the way:) my higher level game would love a bonbon, or perhaps a......Dark Item!

Halloween is the best, and this challenge is super fun....I can't wait to get the witchy cauldron! And the lv5 hall is very intricate and fits right in the game design......Thanks TL<3

[Queenzod]

We weren't allowed to have chewing gum growing up, so my folks would take it when we got back. I think they kept it for themselves! The lady across the street would give out nickels, so she was special! Nickels! And once the bottom of my paper grocery bag melted away after hours of being dragged across dew soaked lawns and my candy went all over and I lost it all. I screamed sooo loud! It was a child sized tragedy, I tell ya!

Twice yesterday I got no energy back, which made me grumbly, and I don't understand why we don't get other things in the adventures as well. How about some money? In general, I'm loving this event, but there are some improvements I'd like. Animations would be good, and what NW said about the adventures.

[Seriously700]

I was lucky and got 15 energy this morning and I think I got silver once. I tend to be focused on figuring out the quantities of the bats and ghosts but I will try to pay closer attention. Yesterday I got a total of 7 bats/ghosts in 1 trip which was very cool. No special crates from 11 or 12 adventures.

[zenobia42]

The random drops from the adventure I've gotten include 1-2: coal, silver, hide, mermaid scales, and I think a truffle but I'm maxed on those of course. I usually get 30 or 33 candy corn but once I got 40! And 1-4 bats & ghosts of course. More bats than ghosts. I average about 3 bats and 2 ghosts per adventure. And usually 3-6 energy.

[Castloninian]

I've had one hayride cart from 15 adventures. I remember seeing a bit of coal once and a spicy sauce and maybe a fur but other than that nothing memorable. Energy seems to vary from none to 15.

No gift boxes here either..and I noticed,some having 2&3 gift in there kingdom

I gotten Ivy hot sauce

As hard as energy is to come by it should give a lot of energy

[Seriously700]

Wow I just got 24 energy from my last adventure. Plus 2 ghosts, 2 bats and 37 candy corn. No box. No non- Halloween items.

[zoeee87]

In all seriousness I must have missed the memo about getting crates for the trick or treat adventure. I've done almost 15 adventure and haven't gotten anything other than candy corn, bats and ghosts.. Hmm...

Also- I only remember dressing up 3 times for Halloween. In kindergarten I was Jasmine from Aladin(Disney movie). In 7th grade I planned on dressing up 8in a retro 50s poodle skirt but halfway through the day at school my dad came to tell me my grandma died. So that day didn't end well... Then I didn't partake in Halloween again until I was 16 and dressed up as a hippie. That was that last time I dressed up... Lol so the 3 times I rememever dressing up I never remember getting any candy..

I do however ALWAYS dress up my dog. She's been a butterfly, frog and penguin. This year she is going to be an elephant. Her name is Zoe, hence my username.. We also got a new puppy this year and he will be dressed up as a lion. So I basically live vicariously through my dogs when it comes to dressing up for Halloween. Lol

[roguebee]

I agree with Old Thomas, no sense giving just candy, throw in a spell book from time to time...

[NorthWoodsKingdom]

Thanks for all of your input, Halloweenies, I'm adding reported drops to my first post for easier reference. :)

I just now got a crate when I collected from my adventure. My first one ... Had a scarecrow inside.
My granddoggy's name is Zoey. Smartest pug in the state of Texas....😃. My youngest dresses her up every Halloween as well. She's been a witch, a cow, and can't remember the first year for her.

Well that gives me hope! I have an adventure returning in an hour so keeping my if gets crossed!!! Pugs are soooo adorable!! I have a Shih Tzu(Zoe) and a Yorkie named Cooper! Love me some animals!!

[warwicktown]

I would sure like to see more coming back also, when at best I can get 3 adventures/day in (that dang job thing!) for the amount of energy expended I'm getting frustrated with 3, 4 candy corn....3 bats and no crates :mad:

[Seriously700]

2 more adventures.

3 energy, 4 bats/ghosts, hide, fancy beam, candy corn
9 energy, 5 bats/ghosts, jewels, fancy beam, 30 candy corn

[roguebee]

You can add Prime Cuts to the drops from the adventure.

[PurpleScorpion76]

I've actually received silver on at least 3 occasions from the trick or treat adventure. And on a few occasions I've received 9 energy, but then I also stated in another post that even 3 energy twice a day is 6 once a day from the feral lands.

I also just got a fancy block.

[PrincessCupOButter]

I got the hayride on my 12th trick or treat adventure. Appropriate, considering I'm the proud owner of Thuakie sword #12!
:cool: I've gotten silver, mermaid scales, lots of coal and today, hot sauce. I agree we need more sweet drops. And since they are stingy with the energy, how about some corn?

Off topic: Would someone please tell me how I can add the signature/message at the bottom of my posts?

Thanks, Princess. I got the scarecrow a couple of days ago but really like the look of the hayride. Keeping my fingers crossed. ✖️
BTW...like your signature:p

[NorthWoodsKingdom]

Adventure #21 is out .... Still no special crate. :/

[sunnygirl634]

Adventure #21 is out .... Still no special crate. :/

Me too! 21 adventures and no crates. My luck was also horrible during the Valentine special event, when special Valentine items could drop from adventures. I only managed to get one heart sheep then. Had to buy the rest of the special heart animals with gems.

[perry5]

I have done 3 adventures/day since last thurs night when I started (21st out now). I received 2 crates-both scarecrows. Really want that elusive hayride-it's sharp! Drops from my adventures have been super slow...sometimes only 1 ghost/bat per trip. Very few "extra items" besides the candy corn & some energy. Extra drops from my pumpkin have also been non-existent...only 1 bat all week. I'll keep sending the knights out in hopes they bring back my hayride!! Fingers crossed (but it could be my golden egg all over again...)

[zenthus]

And no gift boxes for me... I really want purple scarecrow!

[dragoniakingdom]

No gift box here either :(.

[warwicktown]

21 just returned...no box, and 2 ghosts, 6 energy. Grr :(

[NorthWoodsKingdom]

Hooray!!!! Adventure #23 just returned....with a HAYRIDE!!
Now I just want lots & lots & lots of "spooky" purple scarecrows to have as party-goers ... Or at least one. Lol

[belbar22]

Hooray!!!! Adventure #23 just returned....with a HAYRIDE!!

Sooo jealous. LOL.

I want a hayride....I need a hayride....please let me have a hayride. It's not that I don't like my scarecrow....I do...I just really have to have a hayride.

[EBJW]

21 just returned...no box, and 2 ghosts, 6 energy. Grr :(

Me too, s t i l l no boxes brought back.....

Do I really have to wait till nr. 28 ( proud owner(s) of #28 )...?!

Ah well, as long as I know I eventually really surely get one I will wait, (im)patiently... (and I want a scarceow, not a hayride!!)(nice for my spooky corner!)

[tentalen]

21 just returned...no box, and 2 ghosts, 6 energy. Grr :(

Wow sword 1⃣🆒
Got 2 scarecrows, one after the other....then nothing for days. Yesterday hayride. Ghost seem to be ok but bats R real slow. Something wrong with pumpkin counter taking much longer then timer. But corn harvest n beasties is fast n furious. HAGWE see U in the corn patch or GM Nor's haunted garden Cheers🔪1⃣4⃣🔘🌀❎❎😉

[tentalen]

It will come. I too saw hayride at Ngbr and then last night it arrived. Cheers
Sooo jealous. LOL.

I want a hayride....I need a hayride....please let me have a hayride. It's not that I don't like my scarecrow....I do...I just really have to have a hayride.

Don't have it but those that do should be able to use it considering what it cost them.:)
Congrats on the hayride. It looks really good in your HH section.
I'm waiting patiently for my hayride. Missed the chance at no.16. But that's ok. Please,please I want s hayride. (praying to the hayride Gods):rolleyes:

[amerirish]

I've been going on 2 or 3 adventures every day and haven't gotten any boxes...I didn't even realize that the scarecrow and hayride were potential rewards. Dang it, now that I know I'm going to be even more OCD about this game (if that's possible).

Halloween is my very favorite holiday (except for Christmas, obviously). I just bought my first house this year and went NUTS decorating. I am so excited that I'm going to finally get trick or treaters after living in apartments for 20 years :D

[NorthWoodsKingdom]

New drop added.... Wisp lantern.

[claupu]

From day 1 I always did 3 adventures per day. Still no special box for me. On the other hand I was so lucky to get enough bats n ghosts to get my HH to lv 5 some time ago. I will try till the end of the event!

[Rebegarner]

I have now done the trick or treating adventure at least 20 times and received no special crate either!

Me too sort of. 8 more adventures if I only get 1 bat per adventure I'll have HH Level 5. Still no special boxes for me.

[PrincessCupOButter]

I was fairly lucky with my bat/ghost ratio...until I got to level 4. Doing 3 adventures most days and I'm now 3 bats away from level 5. (Not sure how many extra ghosts I have) So, I'm thinking 3 more adventures should do it. But still no scarecrow gift box. The great pumpkin did drop a bat this morning though!
Now if I could only dig that crown up in the prop room....
