Halloween Event 2007
The event began on , 2007 and ran through , 2007.
Overview
Temporary Powers
Knocking on doors can give a "Classic Costume" temporary power. These powers last for 13 days real time, are incompatible with any stealth powers, and cannot be used in PvP zones. For costumes that have a set sex (Carnie Harlequin (female), Carnie Strongman (male)), activating the costume will change the apparent sex of the character if the character is the opposite sex. For costumes that have both sexes (Crey Agent, Paragon Protector), the character will take the appropriate model for their sex.

Event Salvage
Notes
- Testing for this event began on Tuesday September 18th and ran from 3 PM to 7 PM Eastern.
- Second testing set was on Monday September 14th and ran from 3pm to...
- Reports of rare insps being dropped from ToTing.. notably mez ones that are not normally getable in game anymore.
- Confirmed, IRON WILLS are dropping as treats instead of the normally worthless teir 1 insps. (additionally, insp drops now seem to be all Teir 3s)
- Note: Costumes are dropped independent of event salvage, meaning you can get both at once.
- Most costumes ignore gender: Male characters can use female costumes and vice versa. (A few costumes have both male and female versions available, and will display the version appropriate to the character using it.)
- Costumes stay around for 13 days after getting them, then they are gone.
- While similar to Freakshow and Arachnos costumes, these DO NOT grant stealth or invisibility. Mobs will attack players who are wearing these costumes, even if it's a costume of their group.
- Badges for this event (the ones added this year, do not have bars yet, but appear between the consignment house badges and the original Winter ones.
Temporary Powers
One of the treats is the Rock temporary power. It is a one use, ranged attack that does minor smashing damage. Matt Miller was the developer behind this homage to It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. [1]

Rock Ranged Smashing Damage You got a rock. |
Free Costume Slot
The event introduced the ability to unlock a free costume slot on any character. Which slot it opens depends on how many costume slots you have already unlocked. Costume slots are awarded incrementally...a level 1 will be awarded their second slot, while a level 50 with all four previous costume slots unlocked will unlock a fifth. This reward did not include a free costume change token; unless you have free costume change tokens left over from previous awards, you will have to pay normal influence or infamy costs to change the costume in this new slot.
To unlock this slot a player needed to gather one each of the four types of Event Salvage that can be found through "Trick or Treating". You need one each of Statesman Mask, Lord Recluse Helmet, Back Alley Brawler Gloves, and Hamidon costume. All four then need to be brought to the appropriate Halloween contact for the character's game. Granny Beldam for villains and Annah for heroes. The contact will then unlock the free slot. Note that the devs have said [2] that the contacts will remain in the game, so that, while new costume salvage cannot be earned after the event, existing costume salvage may still be turned in. There was a 35% chance of any Treat being a piece of event salvage, with even chances for which of the four types of event salvage is received.
Event Salvage
Back Alley Brawler Halloween Gloves
Event Salvage
These are rubber Back Alley Brawler gloves, perfect for a Halloween costume. Their manufacture makes it difficult to perform simple tasks like opening doors. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.
Statesman Halloween Mask
Event Salvage
This is a Halloween mask of the famous hero Statesman. It's made of cheap plastic, and the flimsy string probably won't last through the night. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.
Lord Recluse Halloween Helmet
Event Salvage
This is a Halloween mask of the infamous Lord Recluse. It's made of smelly rubber, and wearing it makes you all sweaty and hard to find your breath. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.
Hamidon Halloween Costume
Event Salvage
The most popular Halloween costume among the kids in Paragon City is that of Hamidon. This simple costume is made from coloured plastic wrap. Many kids like to put action figures of their favourite heroes inside the wrap, pretending they are 'raiding' for 'Hami-O's' Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.

- 20 - 50 Siren's Call
- 30 - 50 Warburg
Enemies
Note: none of these groups counted toward the non-Halloween badges available in the game normally. For example, these Fir Bolg do not count towards the Pumpkin Master/Mistress badge.
Coven
The Coven is made up of witches also seen as the Cabal enemy group found in Croatoa. Note that this group is the most visually different from their normal in-game spawns of any of the Halloween mobs. The Cabal is primarily colored in shades of grey and black, while the Halloween Coven is much more colorful.
Fir Bolg
Fir Bolg can also be found in Croatoa at the present. Note that there is no badge for defeating them.
Spirits
Spectral Demons from the Circle of Thorns were used to create the Spirits faction.
Vampires
Council vampyri were the models used to make up the Vampires enemy group for the event.
Werewolves
Council nightwolves and warwolves were the models used to make up the Werewolves faction for the event.
Zombies
The zombies are Banished Pantheon soldiers.
Unseelie Court
The Unseelie Court was a new enemy group for the 2006 event. They accompanied the random zone spawns of Eochai and Jack in Irons.

Eochai and Jack in Irons
There was a zone spawn of either Eochai or Jack in Irons in every zone in which the event is active. Once one is defeated, another of the two would spawn in the same zone within a minute or two. For each spawn, there was a 90% chance that it would be Eochai, and a 10% chance that it would be Jack in Irons. Additionally, Jack in Irons only spawned in level 20 and up zones. [3]
