[NEW! Updated 10/17]Leaderboard Rewards
The thing on everyone's mind. What extra-special rewards do we have in store for the best of the best? We're doing something new for this event, and releasing super exclusive extra Halloween vanities to our top players!
Like in Ursoth's event, the top 50 players for each class will receive a radical looking rotating Jack o' Lantern vanity banner (Top Left). Then the top 25 rogues will also receive the Medusa Vanity Costume (Top Right), complete with wriggling and slithering snakes on top of her head. Top 25 warriors get the Frankenstein Vanity Costume (Bottom Left), with sparks of electricity all around his big 'ol bolts. And, last but not least, the Top 25 sorcerers get their very own Ghost Costume Vanity. Spooooky!
Token Rewards and Craftables
What will you be able to buy with your pocket full of Necropolis Tokens? There are tons of treats at the token vendor this Halloween. First, the vanities we already revealed (see below) will be available for 450 tokens each, along with the usual packs of Energy Kits and Tokens for Platinum.
You'll also see the return of two of your favorite holiday pet eggs: Ewen the Pumpkin and Vlad the Bat.
Now, if those pets don't get you excited...Let me be the first to tell you that this year you will also have the first chance every in Arcane Legends history to get a MYTHIC pet for tokens! Grimm eggs will be available at the token vendor only for the duration of the event.
If you're a collector, you'll love this new spectral ghost banner to add to your collection. It moves and fades in an out behind you, for that spooky haunted feeling all day long.
There are crafting recipes available too. If you're hunting for valuable new gear, buy the recipe for the Greater Halloween Pumpkin Chest.
This recipe requires crafting elements + 3 lesser chests, and will give you a chance to receive the following items:
- Legendary Halloween Bone Armor
- Mythic Halloween Weapons from 2013 (Scaled to higher levels)
- Halloween Amulet
- Undead Wrathjaw Pet Egg
- Energy
- Gold
- Tokens
More details on chest rewards to come!
The Necropolis Cursed Skull can be crafted and used to upgrade an item to add Mana and a chance to drain life from your enemies. Ouch!
You'll also find recolors of some of your favorite vanities from passed years like the Rogue Witch Vanity and the Warrior Mummy Vanity.
New Bosses
There are four fearsome bosses to fight in the new Halloween Event! Watch the video below to meet Scourge the Undead Whelp, Valko the Werewolf, Drakeula the Vampire Lord and Paracelsus the Alchemist (Forms 1 & 2).
New Vanities
Last week, Samhayne revealed some of the fancy new vanities that you'll be able to get in the new event, including a sweet new minotaur set for warriors, a jack o' lantern get-up for rogues and a gargoyle set for sorcerers. Plus, spooky undead zombie vanities for all classes. Here are a few screenshots of some of the vanities that will be available for event tokens to whet your appetite:
Tiered Rewards
Remiem made an Insider's Post on Tuesday revealing the new rewards for moving up through the different event tiers. Like our last couple of events, playing the seasonal content will earn you points so that you can progress through 4 different tiers of gameplay: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and the new Platinum tier. Moving up in the tiers isn't always easy, so we make sure that getting to each one is worth your while. Here are the prizes for reaching each of the Halloween event tiers:
For reaching bronze, you'll receive 3 Lesser Pumpkin Chests. You can open these chests to find energy kits (to access the boss zones), gold, Necropolis Tokens to redeem at the token vendor, or pieces of a spooky legendary gear set. If you hold on to them, you can also craft them into Greater Pumpkin Chests which have the chance for even better rewards.
At the Silver tier, you'll receive a Legendary Haunted Ring, set to your level, and a flaming pumpkin vanity helm that will definitely get some screams.
If you want a cool new companion, you'll want to get to Gold Tier, where you'll receive the new flying eyeball pet Blinky. He shoots LASERS from his eyes to damage multiple enemies.
Reaching platinum won't be any easy task, but it'll be well worth the effort. When you reach the top tier, you'll get a new gem to upgrade you gear with extra damage. Plus, the new title "Death's Hand".
