If the character has less than 50,000 Zeny, the Mischievous Ghost removes only the available Zeny. The character's Zeny will not become negative.
'''Before exchanging:'''


A Trick does not award Pumpkin Spirits.
* Make sure the character has enough Pumpkin Spirits.
* Keep sufficient inventory space and available weight.
* Read the reward description before selecting '''Exchange'''.
* Completed exchanges cannot normally be reversed.


== = Inventory Requirement ==
= Prontera Halloween Invasion =
Keep enough inventory space and weight capacity before playing Trick or Treat. If the selected item reward cannot be carried, the attempt is returned and the player can free inventory space before trying again.


== Prontera Halloween Invasion ==
== Invasion Schedule ==
Halloween monsters automatically invade Prontera every three hours.
The automatic Prontera invasion is scheduled every 3 hours at server time:
 
== = Invasion Schedule ==
The invasion starts at the following server times:


* 00:00
* 00:00
Line 231: Line 245:
* 21:00
* 21:00


The schedule follows the game server's clock.
An announcement appears when the invasion begins. Players should travel to Prontera and form a party.
 
== = How the Invasion Works ==
 
# A server-wide announcement warns players that Prontera is under attack.
# A first wave of 45 Halloween monsters appears throughout Prontera.
# Players must defeat all 45 first-wave monsters.
# After the first wave is cleared, the '''Pumpkin Lord''' appears near '''prontera 156,182'''.
# Players must defeat the Pumpkin Lord before the invasion timer expires.


The invasion lasts for up to '''10 minutes'''. If the invasion is not completed within 10 minutes, the Pumpkin Lord escapes and the invasion ends.
The invasion has a 10-minute time limit. If the invading monsters and Pumpkin Lord are not defeated in time, the invasion ends.


== = First-Wave Monsters ==
== Elite Invasion Wave ==
{| class="wikitable"
The first wave contains 12 powerful Halloween monsters around Prontera.

* '''1 invasion kill''' added to the Festival Record
* Each first-wave invasion monster personally defeated gives '''1 Pumpkin Spirit'''.
* The character who defeats the Pumpkin Lord receives '''20 Pumpkin Spirits'''.
* The character who defeats the Pumpkin Lord also receives '''1 Gift Box'''.
 
Only the character credited with the kill receives the corresponding personal reward.


== = Checking the Invasion ==
These monsters are intended to be difficult. Lower-level players should avoid fighting alone and should remain away from active combat areas.
Speak to the Halloween Festival NPC and select '''Invasion Status''' to see:


* Whether an invasion is active
== Level 250 Pumpkin Lord ==
* How many first-wave monsters remain
After all 12 elite invaders are defeated, the Pumpkin Lord appears near the Prontera fountain.

The Halloween Festival NPC is in Prontera at '''147,187'''.

Check that:
* The character must be on the exact assigned map.
* The character must personally defeat the monster.
* The daily mission may already be complete.
* The event may currently be disabled for maintenance.

Speak to the Halloween Festival NPC and select '''Daily Pumpkin Hunt''' to check the exact assigned map and progress.
* The character is on an eligible Chapter 1 map.

No. The map is assigned automatically according to Base Level and remains fixed until the next daily reset.


== = Can more than one Daily Hunt be completed each day? ==
== Can I complete the hunt in a party? ==
No. Only one Daily Pumpkin Hunt can be completed per account per server day.
Party members may help, but the mission counter is personal. Only eligible kills credited to the character increase that character's progress.


== = Can Trick or Treat be played repeatedly? ==
== Can Pumpkin Spirits be traded? ==
No. Trick or Treat is available once per account per server day.
No. Pumpkin Spirits are account-based event points, not inventory items.


== = Does choosing Treat guarantee a reward? ==
== Will Pumpkin Spirits disappear after logout or maintenance? ==
No. The final result is random. Selecting Trick or Treat does not guarantee Jackpot, Sweet Treat, or Trick.
No. Pumpkin Spirit balances and account festival progress are saved persistently.


== = Can Jackpot items repeat? ==
== What happens if the server restarts during an invasion? ==
Yes. Every Jackpot item is selected randomly from the six-item pool, so duplicate item IDs can be received.
The event attempts to restore the remaining elite wave or the Pumpkin Lord stage, provided the original invasion deadline has not expired.


== = What happens if the character cannot carry a Treat item? ==
== Why can I not enter Prontera safely during an invasion? ==
The attempt is returned. Free inventory weight and space, then speak to the NPC and try again.
The invasion contains monsters from Level 200 to Level 250. Lower-level players should wait until the invasion ends or ask stronger players for assistance.


== = Can the Trick Zeny penalty make Zeny negative? ==
== Where does the Pumpkin Lord appear? ==
No. The penalty removes up to 50,000 Zeny. If the character has less than 50,000 Zeny, only the available amount is removed.
The Pumpkin Lord appears near the Prontera fountain at approximately (156,182) after all elite invaders are defeated.


== = Do Pumpkin Spirits occupy inventory space? ==
== How often can I play Trick or Treat? ==
No. Pumpkin Spirits are account event currency and do not use inventory slots.
Once per account per server date.


== = Does buying a shop reward reduce milestone progress? ==
== How do I obtain the Infinity Fly Wings Box? ==
No. The shop reduces the current Pumpkin Spirit balance, but milestones use Lifetime Spirits Earned.
Collect 800 Pumpkin Spirits, open the Pumpkin Spirit Reward Shop, select '''Infinity Fly Wings Box (1 Week)''', review the contents, and confirm the exchange.


== = How can invasion status be checked? ==
= Important Notes =
Speak to the Halloween Festival NPC and select '''Invasion Status'''. Announcements are also displayed when an invasion starts and when the Pumpkin Lord appears.


== = What happens if the invasion is not completed in time? ==
* Event values and rewards may be adjusted for game balance.
The invasion ends after 10 minutes, the temporary invasion monsters are removed, and the Pumpkin Lord escapes.
* Server announcements and NPC information take priority if event settings change.
* Do not intentionally drag invasion monsters onto low-level or inactive players.
* Report missing NPCs, incorrect rewards, stuck invasions, or mission-count problems to the GladiusRO staff with a screenshot and character name.


== = Will @reloadscript remove Pumpkin Spirits or milestone claims? ==
= Quick Summary =
No. Saved account progress remains. However, an active invasion may stop because temporary spawned monsters are removed during a script reload.


== Final Advice ==
* Visit '''Prontera (147,187)'''.
Complete the Daily Pumpkin Hunt and Trick or Treat every day. Join scheduled Prontera invasions whenever possible, personally defeat first-wave monsters, and monitor Lifetime Spirits Earned through My Festival Record. Consistent daily participation is the best way to unlock all four milestones and obtain the premium Halloween Festival rewards.
* Complete one Base-Level-assigned hunt per day.
* Play Trick or Treat once per day.
* Join the Prontera invasion every 3 hours.
* Defeat Level 200-220 elites and the Level 250 Pumpkin Lord.

Prontera Halloween Invasion

  • 00:00
  • 03:00
  • 06:00
  • 09:00
  • 12:00
  • 15:00

An announcement appears when the invasion begins. Players should travel to Prontera and form a party.

The invasion has a 10-minute time limit. If the invading monsters and Pumpkin Lord are not defeated in time, the invasion ends.

Elite Invasion Wave

The first wave contains 12 powerful Halloween monsters around Prontera.

Monster Quantity Level HP ATK DEF MDEF
Sinister Pumpkin 4 200 1,200,000 6,500-9,000 350 180

Each elite monster gives the player who defeats it:

  • 3 Pumpkin Spirits
  • 1 invasion kill added to the Festival Record

These monsters are intended to be difficult. Lower-level players should avoid fighting alone and should remain away from active combat areas.

Level 250 Pumpkin Lord

  • Level: 250
