All Howl's Eve

Introduction

As the days grow shorter and the nights colder, the villagers stockpile wood to keep the darkness at bay. But the lumberjacks, who once fearlessly faced the forest, now refuse to return to work. They speak of unearthly howls and cries that echo even louder than the crashing of falling trees. With winter approaching and desperation mounting, the townsfolk have turned to drastic measures: they have called upon Crash, the infamous monster hunter whose mere name haunts the nightmares of the creatures he hunts. With nothing better to do, Crash took the job out of sheer boredom.

As night falls and the full moon rises, the forest seems to pulse with an eerie life of its own, calling out to those brave enough—or foolish enough—to enter its shadows. Will you venture into the darkness alongside Crash (and keep an eye on him while you're at it) this All Howl’s Eve? The forest is alive with sounds that defy reason, the night teems with hidden dangers, and the truth waits to be discovered.

Quests & Quest Milestones

The quest line consists of a story section and additional episodic quests, which start as soon as the story is completed. This means that you will be able to finish the first series of quests right away, while later quests have new additions released on a daily basis, allowing you to continue to play one additional event quest on each new event day.

Solving event quests also comes with additional benefits, as each completed quest brings you closer to reaching one of the Milestones which give you additional rewards simply for reaching them.

Event Menu

Each completed quest will give you Magic Ingredients as a reward. They are automatically added to the Event Menu. With the Magic Ingredients, you can obtain various Magical Lights which will help light your path through the Misty Forest. With these Magical Lights, you will uncover rewards and Friendly Spirits in the mist. The latter will help you unlock Grand Prizes including the Moonlight Party Artifacts.

By clicking the Event Menu icon you will access the Event Window which will give you plenty of information and allow you to put the Magic Ingredients you gathered to use:

1. Indicates the remaining time for the Event.
2. Shows you the amount of Magic Ingredients you have collected and have not yet spent.
3. Allows you to buy Magic Ingredients using Diamonds.
4. Magical Lights (Candles, Lanterns, and Flash Flasks), which are used to remove fog from the Misty forest. Hover over them or use the information button ("i") to see how to use them.
5. The Misty Forest which you try to traverse to unlock rewards. Tiles covered in fog can be cleared using Magical Lights and will sometimes uncover Lost Items, more Magical Lights, or Friendly Spirits.
6. A Friendly Spirit you can discover when you make your way through the Forest.
7. Opens the Magical Lights Shop which allows you to buy more Magical Lights using Magic Ingredients.
8. Leagues, allows you to see your progress through the Leagues (please check the bottom of the page for more information)
9. As you see that you have reached 5/5 Reroll charges, and you want to change your Daily Prize, just press the Reroll button, confirm your choice, and you will see your Daily Prize change for the day!
10. Shows you the Daily Exclusive reward you can get if you discover a Lost Item in the fog. This also shows you how long it will still be available before it is gone.
11. Grand Prizes to be won by collecting 20 Friendly Spirits for each. Click on the "Claim" button to collect the Grand Prizes you have already achieved.
12. The amount of Friendly Spirits you have already discovered in the Misty Forest.

Magic Ingredients

You start the All Howl's Eve event with 50 Magic Ingredients and each Event Quest will give you more as a reward for completing the given tasks. Every day you play during the Event, you will receive a Daily All Howl's Eve login reward of more Magic Ingredients.

From time to time, you will find more Magic Ingredients around your city outskirts for you to collect.

You can then use the Magic Ingredients to buy more Magical Lights. Additional Magic Ingredients are unlocked upon reaching the first and the third Quest Milestone.

Remember that the All Howl's Eve event only lasts for a few weeks, and after that you will no longer be able to use your Magic Ingredients to buy Magical Lights and earn awesome rewards, so don't waste time!

Traversing the Misty Forest

The Misty Forest is a spooky place, shrouded in thick fog. But fear not, with Crash and Freda's help you can get your hands on Magical Lights that make even the thickest mist vanish.

Your goal is to comb through the forest in search for Friendly Spirits and Lost Items. To do so, you advance from left to right and clear the thick fog that shrouds your view. Whenever at least one fog tile is cleared by a Magical Light in the rightmost column, a new row of misty tiles is unlocked next to it, moving you further to the right. Use Magical Lights strategically to clear out as many tiles as possible and collect all rewards you can find.

Magical Lights

There are three types of Magical Lights that will help you advance in the Misty Forest:

• Candles uncover one patch of fog at a time and can only be used on tiles that are still covered in mist.

• Lanterns clear an entire column from top to bottom, unless their light beam is interrupted by an obstacle. They need to be placed on a tile that was previously uncovered.

• Flash Flasks remove the fog on all patches directly adjacent to where it was placed. They also need to be placed on a tile that was previously uncovered.

Additional Magical Lights can be obtained in the Magical Lights Shop that is opened from the event menu. Candles, Lanterns and Flash Flasks can be obtained separately or in bulk, with various different options.

While using Magical Lights and making your way through the forest, you will uncover additional Magical Lights, Lost Items containing various rewards (including Daily Exclusives) and Friendly Spirits that help you unlock the Grand Prizes of the event.

Friendly Spirits

Sometimes you will uncover Friendly Spirits from the fog. Find and collect 20 of these cute ghosts and you will unlock the next Grand Prize.

In this event you will have the chance to participate in Leagues and win even more fantastic prizes! There are five different Leagues you can reach: Hobby, Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold League. Each League is limited to a number of players with the required amount of points for that League.

Each League has a minimum amount of points that needs to be reached. The League requirements are based on the progress of all players playing the event and it is recalculated every hour, so you might notice some changes on the required points to achieve the next League.

If you hover your mouse over the Leagues icon in the event window, you will be able to see what is your rank and how much further you have to go until you reach the next League.

Leagues Prizes

In Leagues there are even more fantastic prizes to be won such as Expiring Buildings, Knowledge Points, Royal Restoration, Artifacts and even an exclusive Portrait that is not available anywhere else in the game!
