Preview - Happy Halloween 2022! It's time to return to the Necropolis!
Arlor Halloween 2022 | The Undead Never Die
Here's the thing about zombies...they tend to come back. And they've done just that this year. Necropolis is once more overrun with terrifying undead and it's up to you to stop it! Don't forget to pay a visit to Arlor's best haunted houses: Boogie's Mansion and the Oligarch's mansion for more tricks, and more treats!
This event begins Thursday, October 13th, at approximately 1:30 PM CST. It will run for three (3) spooky weeks, with a 3 day cooldown.
What's New
The Halloween Event this year will run in 3 rounds of 1 week each, meaning that leaderboards and event tiers will grant rewards each week, then reset. That means 3 chances to climb to the top of the global leaderboards or your personal tiers (point thresholds have been adjusted accordingly)!
Additionally, the event Locked Crate contents will change each week, so make sure to keep an eye out for when your favorite rewards will appear.
Check the sections below to learn more.
How it Works
The Halloween Event is an energy-based event. Spend energy points to enter the boss zone and defeat Necropolis monsters to progress through the event tiers and earn tokens to redeem for the Token Vendor's stash of Halloween goodies.
You can get to Necropolis either from the main map or by talking to the Necropolis Gatekeeper.
Quests:
Once in Necropolis you will find a number of NPCs you can interact with:
You will also find the portal to the Event Zone. This requires energy to enter:
Event Zone:
Once inside you are prompted to purchase a Bane Item that will vastly help in this area. Past years' Bane Item will work here too:
Make your way through, cutting down enemies until you reach a final boss battle:
On occasion, defeating this boss will open a separate portal to one of two special Halloween event zones: Boogie's Mansion or the Oligarch's Mansion.
You must bring one 2022 Necropolis Candy Bag if you want the chance to visit these haunted houses.
Collect the Candy Bars that drop from mobs all around Arlor and craft them into Candy bags to open the way to the Boogie or the Oligarch's Mansion.

The Oligarch is anything but hospitable. To reach him you'll have to wander the halls of his opulent mansion, avoiding traps that will damage, slow, and stun you, all while cutting down the zombie hoard that's taken up residence inside.
Defeat The Oligarch, and you'll receive The Oligarch's Bag 2022, a special event chest that has a chance to drop a whole slew of Halloween goodies.
