Trick-or-Treat
Trick Or Treat is a SimuCoin activity re-introduced at Ebon Gate 2020 on Caligos Isle. This replaced Deep Sea Diving.
How it Works
First, purchase a key from the SimuCoin store. Each key allows for ten treats. Then, you enter the Trick or Treat area and are randomly dropped into a room. Find a door and KNOCK on it. Each entry will earn you up to ten "treats." After you've knocked on a door, you won't be able to knock on the same one for thirty seconds. That means you'll need to move around the area to get all your knocks in. The area may be a bit familiar, but it's an old location that is now beached on the shores of Caligos.
Results
Tricks
You'll get "tricks" approximately 25% of the time that you KNOCK. These will not impact your ten treats. Trick are angered spirits (non-corporeal undead using the zombie base) and do not drop any loot. You'll need to dispatch them before being able to knock again. When the undead spawns, you will automatically target it.
The area is not instanced, and instead uses a new tactic with creatures that debuted this run. The person who knocks is the only person the undead can attack. Anyone else can attack it though, so if you need help, get a friend to come join you! It is recommended to explore the area in pairs or small groups to stay safe. If you run away, the creature will follow you and immediately try to strike you.
If you die inside of the area, you won't be removed. Instead, another player can heal you or the azure-robed ghostly cleric can.
Upon exiting the area, you are healed. You'll also get credit for each undead you kill inside, up to 10, that awards you 100 additional experience (on top of the experience you get for killing the creatures) after you're moved out of the event by finishing your KNOCKs. This can saturate you. If you're already saturated, it will be 25 instant experience (this was lowered from 100 experience in 2020).
Treats
There are multiple treats possible with each KNOCK in addition to the trick (undead creature that attacks).
- Seashells (approximately 80% of the time)
- Trick-or-Treat candy (approximately 10% of the time)
- Ghezyte-veined sea glass bauble (Species in 2020) or Ebon Gate Treasure Trove raffle tokens
- Invitation to an Eve of the Reunion event (2021 only)
Occasionally, KNOCKing on the door could result in more seashells. You will sometimes be awarded a small bag of seashells that will be between 100 and 200 seashells. And occasionally you'll be awarded between 1000 and 2000 seashells. There are no special announcements, and the seashells are automatically redeemed. Comparatively, these extra seashells will be quite a bit more frequent than sewer caches at Duskruin Arena.
