ThunderMU Season 6 · Halloween Event

The Night of the Jack O'Lantern

Four times a day the candles on the Halloween field light themselves.

The Burning Field

Every year, when the last harvest is burned and the wind starts to smell of ash, a door opens in the world that should have stayed shut.

Behind it lies a field the maps forgot. The old soldiers call it Halloween. Skeletons still march there in rusted ranks, guarding a war nobody remembers, and spiders spin their silk over graves with no names.

Four times a day, the candles on that field light themselves.

Then the pouches come, fat with stolen gold, hopping between the tombstones. The paper ghosts follow, lanterns burning where their hearts should be. And when the fog turns cold, the ground splits open and the Jack O'Lantern climbs out: a knight without a head, wearing a pumpkin he carved into a grin and set on fire so he could see in the dark. Five of him walk the field with every hunt.

And the field cannot always hold him. When the mood takes him, the Jack walks out through the gate and into the world: he can be met in different places on any map, at any hour. If you smell candle smoke where no candle burns, he is already close.

He gives his treasure to one hunter only, the one who hurt him most: armor that still smolders, weapons forged in candle flame, jewels taken from every hunter who failed before. And mind your own blood. On this field the guilty fall with their pockets open.

But what the Jack gives, November takes back. When the first day of November begins, every flame he left behind goes out.

The candles are already lit. Can you hear him laughing?

Jack O'Lantern in the dark, a burning candle on his pumpkin head

Off the schedule

He Keeps No Hours

The candles call him to the Halloween field four times a day, but they cannot keep him there. Jack O'Lantern walks wherever he pleases: he can be met in different places on any map, at any time of the day or night.

Keep your weapon drawn, wherever you are.

The map

The Halloween Field

A new map full of skeletons and spiders, open all day. Every day at 03:40, 09:40, 15:40 and 21:40 server time the Halloween hunt fills it with event creatures for 60 minutes.

The town in the middle of the Halloween field: a stone plaza with graves, dead trees, jack o'lanterns and a pumpkin carriage — Safe zone · gate 120, 125
The Town
Walls, open graves and a pumpkin carriage around the gate. You arrive here and you come back here when you fall.

The circus on the Halloween field: a red and yellow tent with a clown face, two more tents, wagons and a glowing rune circle — At the edge of the field
The Circus
Three tents, the biggest painted with a screaming clown, and a burning rune on the ground. The show ended long ago.

The mausoleum on the Halloween field: a stone tomb with obelisks behind an iron fence with candles — At the edge of the field
The Mausoleum
A tomb of grey stone behind an iron fence, a candle burning on every post. Something still waits inside.

Entry

Open the Move window (M) and pick Halloween, first row, above Arena.
Level 100+ and 10,000,000 Zen. No reset needed.
Die there and you come back at the Halloween gate, not in Lorencia.

PK map

Player killing is allowed all over the field. Only the town around the gate is safe.
It works like the Arena: a red (PK) player who dies here can drop items. Normal players drop nothing.
Hunt in a party. The pouches attract more than hunters.

Every hunt brings them

What Crawls Out of the Fog

Every hunt brings 30 Pouches of Blessing, 30 Fire Flame Ghosts and 5 Jack O'Lanterns to random spots of the field. They don't come back during the hunt: when they are gone, they are gone until the next one. Only the Jack O'Lantern walks outside the hunt as well: he can be met in different places on any map, at any time.

Jack O'Lantern

The Headless Harvester

Once he guarded the gates of Lorencia. He lost his head there one autumn night and never stopped looking for it. Now he wears a pumpkin, carved into a grin and burning from inside, and the same fire runs down to his hands and feet. He calls meteors down on anyone who comes close, and he gives what he carries to one hunter only: the one who hurt him most. Nor does he keep to the field: he can be met in different places on any map, at any time.

Fire Flame Ghost

The Lantern Without a Heart

An old paper umbrella that learned to walk. Where a heart should be, a lantern burns, and it hops on its one leg through the fog with an orange glow you can see from across the field. It never strikes back. It only wanders and waits for someone to take what it carries: jewels, pumpkins and, now and then, a pair of small wings.

The Halloween Arsenal

Every piece Jack O'Lantern drops, with its in-game tooltip. With a 30% chance his first item is a Halloween weapon, always one of the winner's class. The weapons hit about three quarters as hard as the class's Archangel weapon and throw off fire and orange lightning.
