Fight your way through hordes of undead in what is probably the spookiest area known to Calypso colonists while competing for special prizes. The Halloween Mayhem area contains a dark and spooky graveyard instance with two creepy creature types and two terrifying bosses.

Halloween wouldn't be the same without special loot, including Halloween Candy Boxes, great event prizes and additional bonus prizes!

In this Mayhem style event, you will hunt in one of five different solo instances and score points by looting Halloween Pumpkins.

EVENT DATES

Bonus Prizes
In addition, all qualifying event participants reaching one of the following point thresholds will receive bonus prizes:

  • 5000 Points - 5 x Halloween Candy Boxes + 50 PED Universal Ammo
  • 10000 Points - 10 x Halloween Candy Boxes + 200 PED Universal Ammo
  • 15000 Points - 15 x Halloween Candy Boxes + 500 PED Universal Ammo
  • 20000 Points - 20 x Halloween Candy Boxes + 1000 PED Universal Ammo


Time Limit Each participant is limited to a maximum of 40 hours in the Halloween event instances. This 40 hour limit applies to combined time in any of the Halloween instances, not each individual instance level.

Event participants must keep track of their time spent in the event instances, since the current instance system unfortunately does not track time spent across multiple login/instance sessions.

Note that the 60 minute timer that appears once you enter one of the Halloween Mayhem instances is not an official event time tracking feature.

Rules
This event is intended for solo hunters. Any attempt at abusing team mechanics or any other Entropia Universe systems or features in order to gain an unfair advantage over other participants will be grounds for disqualification from the event, forfeiture of any prizes, and possible sanctions imposed on one’s Entropia Universe account.

Do not abandon the mission! If you abandon the mission for any reason, either intentionally or accidentally, all points earned up to that point will be lost forever. Support cannot and will not restore points for abandoned missions, regardless of the situation.

Notes
The Essence of Evil items required to spawn Count Vamp of Boorum bosses are now restricted to the instance level from which they are looted as follows:

  • Chipped Essence of Evil - Level 1 Instance
  • Flawed Essence of Evil - Level 2 Instance
  • Average Essence of Evil - Level 3 Instance
  • Flawless Essence of Evil - Level 4 Instance
  • Perfect Essence of Evil - Level 5 Instance

Also, can anyone say if the spawning essenses were tradeable last year? Did some ppl prefer to spawn count vamp whatsit and others not so that a market opened up?

Thanks...

40 hours is so dumb



+1 agreed, another brilliant MA feature

Well, gold rush is 65 hours. :) they gotta make sure the cost of prizes is paid for (by decay). 40 hours for 11 days will be a stretch but doable.
 
My guess, price 1,2 & 3 will go to the same gun :)

Everyone who doen't have access to that top gun, don't bother..
We should all send 100 empty boxes to MA's office, maybe then they will get the points made

edit : laugh emoticon not working :)

Yeah im out of it already, but I can see clearly this is a good even for MA. Gonna bring a lot of incomes to MA due to the 40h and all the buffs with speed. Yes faster decay and ammo burn :D

Guess we will see. It is luck based and you can't grind beyond 40 hours to try to score a 5k or three.. so we shall see.
 
Increase critical hit chance 13% is surely not correct... I notice it's not included on the webpage linked by Xen above.

I know you have problems with mindark at the moment but snide aside, this is point based and you have to loot the points.. increased turnover will only get you so far... gotta have the luck.

Ahhhhmmmm, I have a feeling the ring will make you slower - zombify you!

What does the 1% life steal do? Is it 1% of damage you do is added to your own health, so 50 dps shooting is 5 heal points every 10s?

Yes other than that +13% crit CHANCE would be so overpowered and... pointless since there is 5.0 cap on the focused blow buff anyway...
2% crit chance is already huge ;).

It is +13% critical damage reduction for sure as psoted on the strongboxes site...

you do 50 dmg, you get healed for 0.5
you do 100 dmg, you get healed for 1.0
you do 75 dmg, you get healed for 0.8
rounds up if i remember, you get healed the same time you inflict damage if i saw it right

Yes, this is correct. As for the speed reduction.. it either makes you slower OR is applied to the mob on a hit.. probably does the former.. and that is okay for balancing imo.
 
so.... since the ring is advertised on the "shiny new" box page, the top 3 prizes are available from opening boxes...
FAIL... nothing special about the prizes then right? I mean if you can get it from a box, then what's the point. If the ring cannot be found in the boxes, or none drop, then it is false advertising.

because not everyone wants to buy boxes... not every event needs to drop something super unique
 
I notice that the two places referenced in the original article have differing times/dates for the start.

My guess is sloppy editing from last year's announcement.
