Male hat (warlock?) is different than female (witch) hat - shorter, different buckle, brown.

Event needs to be longer.

Thorn needs to show up more then once every 3 hours.

Or a novel idea would have been that if you have Prophecies and Nightfall on the same account when you visit Thorn he gives you each hat for that character.

Here is a screenie of the pumpkin crown...

Question. Assuming that you have to be there at a certain time, what do you need in LA and in Kamadan in order to trade in for a pumpkin of hat? Thanks.

you need nothing, just stand in the green circle.

HostileKostal · Oct 31, 2006, 05:02 PM // 17:02

nothing to trade, just be there when he says 'sadly, I have to go.'

Clicking on him won't delay the event. They fixed that after the day of the tengu, but for some reason it still annoys people. If you look at your clock you'll see that the game lasts 30 minutes, that's the way it's designed. It just seems long, but the clicking has nothing to do with it.

So if you want hats for more than one character, whats the best way to server hop? Log back in and then jump to the highest number server?

Thanks!

.. after the event finished in Kamadan, I hopped over to LA in hopes of snatching a pumpkin before the king was supposed to have vanished.

Well, when I arrived in District 95 (versus, say, 25 in Kamadan), there was no king. I figured I had missed him. However, after a few minutes of idling in Lion's Arch, my girlfriend (who was with me) pointed out that, HEY, THERE HE IS.

He hadn't finished. He was just arriving.

What's up with that?

I must have farmed and merched thousands of orr emblems. For those that know the spot at Gates of Kryta and how to farm it with their monk... ~22 orr emblems in 15 minutes is not bad at all!

Sure.

The district hopping technique works very well.

Have guildies spread out across multiple districts and you can jump from LA to Kamadan or vice versa and see him twice for that same visit.

Remember.

The districts are NOT synchronized

Thx ^^

If you're in Kamadan district 30+. You can switch to Lion's Arch district 25- for a chance to score both the holliday hats.

Not entirely true. At the king's first arrival at midnight PST, I was in a district where there was much clicking going on, and the game lasted well over 45 minutes, no exaggeration. Many periods of waiting with nothing happening. It seems that they may have fixed up subsequent visits, although I was in a particuarly well behaved district at 6am PST which only took 25 minutes to run through the whole event.

I have the witches hat. Will I get the pumpkin hat if I stay for the king again in the same district or will I get a second hat or nothing?

Not a problem if I don't since I got the pumpkin hat on my other char....

winkgood · Oct 31, 2006, 09:34 PM // 21:34

I've been able to average about 4 hats per round using the district hopping method. I usually start in Kamadan district 1 or 2 and switch to the mid LA districts once the king has given the hat. After LA I switch chars and go back to Kamadan, then if I'm lucky there will still be some LA districts that still have the king. So far I've gotten 20 hats with this method.

lyra_song · Oct 31, 2006, 10:19 PM // 22:19

winkgood: WOW

gamecube187 · Oct 31, 2006, 10:39 PM // 22:39

Oh, awsome winkgood! Now I might be able to get both hats with all ten of my characters!

Oh, and where is this place to far orr emblems? Can someone please tell me so I can try to stock up on enough halloween items to last until next year?

Neo Nugget · Oct 31, 2006, 10:44 PM // 22:44
