Tips about the Event * What happens when an event finishes?? Click here to take you to a post called How Events Work in the Hub. * Treat Bags randomly drop from Farmhouse, Toadstool Farmhouse, Cottage, Toadstool Cottage, Market Place, Library, Tavern, Watchtower, Lantern Spire, Toadstool Spire, Ghost Knight, and the Werepea. * You now get a small amount of energy back when collecting pumpkins. Pictures of the event from ShibuyaCloth: click here If anyone accidentally sold their Haunted Stable from last year's event (the non upgradeable one) write to support.storm8.com under topic Issues/Bugs > Item-related issue. More info on the Gothic Buildings: If you progressed to the point in the event where you unlock a Gothic building and it becomes available in the Market, it will remain in the Market even after the event has ended. Also, the Tomb will continue to drop the materials needed to construct and upgrade the Gothic buildings after the event has ended.

Info about Gothic facades:
* You will be able to keep your Haunted Castle on your board in addition to the new Gothic King's Keep or Gothic Queen's Court.

* However, the new Gothic King's Keep and Gothic Queen's Court obey the same rules as the Toadstool Buildings, so you will not be able to have a Gothic King's Keep and Gothic Queen's Court in addition to the core game's regular King's Keep and Queen's Court on your board at the same time. It is a skin for your existing castle. It will be unlocked in the Market when won for you to decide if you want to change the look of the castle.

* If anyone accidentally sold their Haunted Stable from last year's event (the non upgradable one) write to support.storm8.com under topic Issues/Bugs > Item-related issue.[/QUOTE]

*If you progressed to the point in the event where you unlock a Gothic building and it becomes available in the Market, it will remain in the Market even after the event has ended. Also, the Tomb will continue to drop the materials needed to construct and upgrade the Gothic buildings after the event has ended.

* The gothic potion shop and gothic workshop became available in the Feature market to sell and rebuild in a gothic style when the tomb is upgraded to L7.

* The gothic castle becomes available when the tomb is L10 to sell and rebuild in a gothic style. That's what the black roses are for that drop from the tomb.

* Do not sell a building unless you are eligible to replace it with a gothic style.

[kindefarm1890]

SpiritWind00 - Any word from the team why the Werepea no longer drops treat bags every 22 hours? I thought the Werepea would drop treat bags until the end of the pet event on 11/1. It is disappointing to go through the event for this prize to find out it no longer works.

[ktorewqas]

I hope its not designed to stop dropping treat bag at this time what about the treat bags from buildings? Sw, can you ask the team? Thanks

[Dqueenie]

Whoa, the first 40 taps of the morning, all on treatbag droppable buildings, including L10 cabin & I got.....not 1 treat bag?! I just wasted 40 energy for nothing?! Okay not nothing, but I wasn't hoping for coins. S8, could you please turn on the fun?

[jackylina29]

Please let this next event be more fun and fair....I am finally getting some Halloween drops from baby animals thank you I was getting bummed out....just paths so far but its better than nothing....please drop some other items soon I love Halloween I want to enjoy this next part more.....I'm thinking most of us are having a lack of bone dire piglat drops I'm almost ready to make a 2nd ghost skunkupea but I think that's on purpose cause most of us may just want one of each and then we will move on this way we are forced to keep trying longer...I didn't really like the toadstool redesign of the buildings but I am looking forward to making some creepy cool looking ones....please make the new building something we will want to click on after event I'm ready to store cabin already and kinda wish I hadn't wasted materials and energy building it for it to go straight to storage....it would have been cool to at least drop something helpful for this next event.....I can dream but most likely won't.....also why doesn't the were skunk we paid for drop more than xp...will it in the future...I want to keep buying things when I can but it hurts paying money for something that ends up useless...I don't make a lot of money so when I spend on here I don't want to regret it cause in the future that stuffs makes me second guess whether to spend money or not. Since the monster hunts have been back the game has been much better but please listen to your players to make the game even better for us and make s8 more money in long run...thanks

While tapping on ponds I got the galloping horse and then showed progress on the costume goals in the goal book. I see no progress being made. That's happened a couple of times now. Just strange.
