'''Trick or Treat''' is a [[Halloween Events]] event open to all players during the Halloween holiday window. Say the magic words to a vendor and you might come away with candy — or with a prank you won't soon forget.

{{#ifexist:Server News|'''Event window:'' The event is active while the server's Halloween holiday is running. 10/1 until 11/2 (always subject to GM discretion).|}}

== How to Play ==
# Find a vendor (any NPC shopkeeper).
# Type '''trick or treat''' in chat. The phrase just needs to appear in your message — capitalization doesn't matter.
# You will be prompted: ''Pick someone to Trick or Treat.''
# Target a vendor within 15 tiles.

A few things to keep in mind:
* Only vendors carry candy. Targeting a player or creature replies ''That doesn't look friendly.'' Targeting an object replies ''There is little chance of getting candy from that!''
* Each vendor's supply is limited. After trick-or-treating a vendor, that vendor is out of candy for 5–10 minutes (''That doesn't appear to have any more candy.''). Move on to the next one.

== Treats ==
Nine times out of ten, the vendor gives you a treat. They may say:
* ''Oooooh, aren't you cute!''
* ''All right...This better not spoil your dinner!''
* ''Here you go! Enjoy!''

You receive a random piece of candy in your backpack:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Candy
|-
| Wrapped Candy
|-
| Lollipops
|-
| Nougat Swirl
|-
| Taffy
|-
| Jelly Beans
|}

=== Special Treats ===
A high '''Begging''' skill improves your chance of a rare special treat:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Begging skill !! Special treat chance
|-
| 100–119 || 10%
|-
| 120 or higher || 15%
|}

If luck is with you, you'll see: ''You receive a special treat!'' The special treat is a random one of the following festive items, and it **replaces** the normal candy for that round (you won't get both) [1]:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Special treat
|-
| Creepy Cake
|-
| Pumpkin Pizza
|-
| Grim Warning
|-
| Harvest Wine
|-
| Murky Milk
|-
| Mr. Plains Cookies
|-
| Skulls on a Pike
|-
| Chair in a Ghost Costume
|-
| Excellent Iron Maiden
|-
| Halloween Guillotine
|-
| Colored Small Webs
|-
| Flaming Scarecrow
|}

Not everything on the list is food — you could just as easily be "treated" to a guillotine [1].

== Tricks ==
About one time in ten, the vendor shouts '''TRICK!''' instead. One of the following happens:

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Trick !! What happens !! Notes
|-
| '''Bleeding''' || Pools of blood appear around you for 10 seconds || Purely cosmetic — no damage
|-
| '''Re-Hue''' || Your character is randomly re-hued after a moment || Lasts 10 seconds, then wears off
|-
| '''Naughty Twin''' || A twin copy of you appears beside you || Lasts 5 seconds — see below
|}

The twin is by far the most common trick.

=== The Naughty Twin ===
Your twin (named "[your name]'s Naughty Twin") looks exactly like you but is completely harmless — it will not attack you or anyone else. It vanishes after 5 seconds, but before it goes it will do one of two things:

* '''Steal candy''' — ''Your naughty twin steals some of your candy.'' One candy item (wrapped candy, lollipops, nougat swirl, taffy, or jelly beans) disappears from your backpack.
* '''Gate you''' — ''Your naughty twin teleports you away with a naughty laugh!'' You are flung to a random town on your map:
** '''Mainland''' — Moonglow, Britain, Jhelom, Yew, Minoc, Trinsic, Skara Brae, or Magincia
** '''Ilshenar''' — Compassion, Honesty, Honor, Humility, Justice, Sacrifice, Spirituality, Valor, or Chaos
** '''Malas''' — Luna or Umbra
** '''Tokuno''' — Isamu-Jima, Makoto-Jima, or Homare-Jima
** '''TerMur''' — Royal City

== Tips ==
* The only trick that costs you anything is the candy theft — keep an eye on your stash when you hear TRICK!
* The bleeding and re-hue tricks are purely visual and wear off within 10 seconds.
* Being teleported is not dangerous, but you may land a long way from where you were heading.
* If you're on a candy-collecting spree, a Begging 120+ character gives you the best odds of a special treat.
* If the event isn't responding, check the date — Trick or Treat only works during the Halloween window.
