~*~ GENERAL INFORMATION ~*~
Journey to the Realm of Naidem, where the dead reside as they wait for the next phase of their unlife. Wander through the twilit streets of Evermore Hollow, a town built on the memories of the dead and be sure to visit its various neighborhoods to learn more about those that live there. Stroll through the haunting mist of Graveyard Temporalis to see what hovers in crypts and mausoleums, or play around in the Bittermere Woods where a haunted well and Herb Hunters can be found. Dozens of shops are spread about through the town proper and its adjoining neighborhoods, though use caution (and a barrel key) when playing Trick-or-Treat in Endeltime Estates.

~*~ TRICK-OR-TREAT, FISHING, HERB HUNT, and SPOOK CONTEST ~*~
Trick or Treat returns to Ebon Gate. Join other adventurers as they laugh and play the time-honored game of Trick or Treat. Will you get a Treat? Or will you struggle for your life as creatures trick you into giving it up? This event requires a barrel key, which can be purchased in the SimuCoin store.
[1]
If you're looking for a relaxing pastime in Naidem, and you enjoy wielding a fishing pole, save up your soul shards, grab some bait and a pole, and go fishing! Take a quiet ride on the Gleyminn Anni river and drift to one of four fishing holes. Carry a sharp knife in your pack, though, because all of these fish have been gobbling up treasures! Save up your soul shards - each catch will cost 50 soul shards.
The Herb Hunt also returns this year. Help a couple searching for the rare Toadshade in the Gardens of Bittermere Woods. They are happy to take any herbs that you may find, but the best prize is the fabled Toadshade, a particularly shy plant that is rumored to be able to get up and walk around. This event requires a key, which can be purchased in the SimuCoin store.

Do you have what it takes to scare the ghosts that haunt Evermore Hollow? Find out by taking part in the Spook Contest! Visit Town Hall and speak to the waifling about participation. The contest runs the entire month and the top five winners will earn special titles!

~*~ DEEP SEA DIVING and FISHING ~*~
Dive into adventure, and search the Abandoned Waters for buried treasure! While the search for unique artifacts is a well-known pastime, diving expeditions are new for 2017. Will you search the shallow waters, or will you take a risk and dive to darker (and deeper) territory? Beware... Evil lurks at the bottom of the sea, and diving in these areas will require quick thinking (and perhaps use of some handy items) on your part! Premium accounts have access to an exclusive area where heightened awareness could land you a secret cache! Diver's Licenses can be purchased in the SimuCoin store.
https://store.play.net/store/purchase/gs
If being a landlubber is more your style, and you enjoy wielding a fishing pole, save up your seashells, grab some bait and a pole, and go fishing in the tidal pools within the mysterious sea caverns. Carry a sharp knife in your pack, though, because all of these fish have been gobbling up treasures lying on the bottom of the sea. And, if you can cut out an egg, well... Make sure you ask around before you act too hastily! Save up your seashells - each catch will cost 25 seashells.
[Note: At this time, fishing skill does not relate to tiers of prizes.]
Deep Sea Diving and Fishing do not require the Games Pass for participation.
>FESTIVAL 4
~*~ DIGGING AND MINI-GAMES ~*~
Dig along the black sands of the beach, and unbury long lost treasures! NPCs available along the shore's edge will sell shovels in convenient 1-use and 20-use sizes. Shovels will cost 2,000 and 40,000 silvers, respectively.
A few Mini-Games can be found in the sea caverns, and will require that your pockets jingle with silvers in order to play. Mini-Games are not compatible with notes, so fill your pockets will silvers!
Both Digging and Mini-Games participation will require a Games Pass, available in the SimuCoin store. Passes are account-wide and are good for one week's play time.
