When is the Halloween Festival? - Guild Wars Forums

Just like the title says. I has started to farm carvings and have almost 10 stacks so far. I am just wondering when the festival starts and ends.

Thanks guys. I can not get to the wiki or the gw sit4e cause it is blocked and I am at work and was wondering

thanks

Probably around Halloween.

Seriously, though, I don't know if official dates have been announced.

Wow, your trolling is really bad. Halloween isn't until late next month.

Jensy · Sep 10, 2008, 06:22 PM // 18:22

Probably around the 29th of October to the 2nd of November.

Yanno, when Halloween actually is

Introverted Dimensions · Sep 10, 2008, 06:31 PM // 18:31

Sometime in late December, because as you know that's when halloween is.

Well I have to plan for it. I want to get enough carvings to get the max sweet tooth title. So that is a few carvings, 30,000 to be exact. So if I start now I should be able to get 120 stacks or about 600,000 gold. That is a savings of 400,000 gold if I was to buy the title at one point.

Or I could decide to convert my goodies to title points and then sell them for 100 gold each. From there I could use that gold to make more gold buying stacks at 6250 gold each and still make a killing.

Either way I will need the NPC to carry out my plan. Yes my plan.

I can get the drunken title for free in pre-searing Ascalon but take me a while killing bears. I can average 34 ales an hour. so 40 stacks will take me 84 days to get enough ales for the drunkard title. So November the 3rd I would get enough ales for the title. But wait, HALLOWEEN. see my point

Edit: Well I guess that I could exchange my carvings for drunken points. Humm

I wonder. I would need to get 102 charr carvings an hour to get the same ale rate as pre killing bears yields for ales. I wonder if that is doable.

Edit Edit: Just another though. If I ran to the hunters with two toons on different computers then I could get 60 ales in an hour. Not bad farming for pre.

Uhhh, one problem. Unless I'm mistaken, the collectors for the event does not give anything for the sweets title. Only Squash Serum, Witch Brew, Ghost-in-the-Box, Vial of Absinthe and Transmogrify Tonic are available. Sweets are available from the Trick-or-Treat Bags.

*Darcy* · Sep 10, 2008, 08:05 PM // 20:05

Serra, you are correct. The special drops are the bags, which might contain candy apple, cookie, or candy corn. NPCs do not offer sweet items.

I thought it was on September 11th.

You can postpone your trade for Wintersday, and get fruitcakes, candy canes, and whatnot. If you are trading charr carvings, Wintersday will give you the choice between drunkard, party animal, or sweet tooth title point items, and Halloween will give you the choice between party animal and drunkard items. The halloween event will likely occur between the 29th or 30th of October and November 2nd, plus or minus a day or two.

Halloween Festivals usually happen around Halloween, amirite?

I'm already anxious for it. I've had Costume Brawl on my mind for the past couple weeks.
