How to take part

Just go to Aeven while the event is on. If Aeven looks dark or empty when you arrive, refresh your browser page (F5) to load the Halloween graphics.

Haunted Aeven

The whole town turns to autumn dusk with jack-o'-lanterns and spooky decorations. New visitors arrive:

  • the Pumpkin Keeper, who starts the event quest;
  • Hazel the Little Witch, who helps you on the curse's trail;
  • the Ghostly Merchant, who sells Halloween Candy (30 gold), Health Potions and Big Health Potions.

Cursed creatures roam the streets: Pumplings, Mischievous Ghosts and Haunted Scarecrows. See Haunted Aeven.

The Hollow Graveyard

Behind the churchyard gate lies the Hollow Graveyard, home of the Grave Rattlers and the roaming boss Hollowmaw. It only exists during Halloween; anyone still inside when the event ends is taken back to Aeven.

Quest: The Pumpkin Keeper's Curse

Talk to the Pumpkin Keeper near the town square, collect 5 Enchanted Pumpkin Fragments from the cursed creatures, follow the trail with Hazel's help to the cursed shrine in the Hollow Graveyard and defeat Hollowmaw.

Reward: the Haunted Pumpkin pet, 5,000 gold, 2,500 experience and the title Curse Breaker — once per character. Full walkthrough: The Pumpkin Keeper's Curse.

Progress is kept

The quest can only be started while Halloween is on. If you do not finish in time, your progress waits for next year.
