Third & Fourth Quest
Stemming the Skeletal Tide (30th Oct). Capture 1 Skeleton of Dhuum
Every Bit Helps. (30th Oct). Capture 3 Skeletons of Dhuum

Speculation
Gathered from gw.dat
Oct 29th GW Update added Dhuum for the final quest.

- will probably be a solo quest.
- take place in the underworld.
- player is transformed into an Agent of the Mad King with a custom skill bar.

Agent of the Mad King skills
Sugar Rush - speed boost
Sticky Ground - snare
Sugar Shock - knock down
The Mad King's Influence - foes turn into allies temporarily

Third Quest
Everlasting Mobstopper - capture Skeleton of Dhuum
Weakened by Dhuum - can only capture one skeleton at a time

Skeleton of Dhuum skills
Bone Spike - 100 damage to target foe
Flurry of Splinters - 15 damage per second to 5 foes over 3 seconds

Vs Dhuum
Should be the final quest.

Dhuum skills
Dhuum - Dhuum does cool stuff ^^
Summon Champion - summon a champion of Dhuum
Summon Minions - summon minions of Dhuum
Touch of Dhuum - steal health and target suffers from DP
Reaping of Dhuum - move between foes and attacks each one
Judgment of Dhuum - deals damage to everything
Weight of Dhuum - snare, degen, less benefit from healing
Curse of Dhuum - disable res

Player/NPC Skills ?
Dhuum's Rest - put Dhuum to rest, disables ghostly fury
Spiritual Healing - heal Reaper
Encase Skeletal - render skeleton harmless
Reversal of Death - remove DP
Ghostly Fury - deals damage, disables Dhuum's rest

Edit:
There seems to be 4 quests.
Everlasting Mobstopper is probably the third one.
And we will face Dhuum in the last quest.

As to the quest rewards
I doubt it will be a mini-pet and certainly hope that it is more than just tonics/tot bags.
My guess, Halloween Costumes!

good job, any idea on the reward?

Everlasting Mobstopper... I LOL'd thats awesome

wat if that everlasting mobster is another tonic?

i'm just really hoping the new mini will be an ultra rare prize for the quests.

Nice, I like halloween, definately be doing this Q

Hope the headgear and other stuff is good this year.

Miniature Mad King Thorn's Guard, pl0x.

Can't let the 20ish of them be worth 10,000+ ectos from the contest now can me?

Everlasting Thorn tonic probably

evenfall, can you find out the rarity of the mad kings guard mini?

Custom skill bars and solo festival quests are fun. I might make some time to do these.

Would be pretty funny if this had a top 100 ladder on capture count. Easy way to hand out the prize, mini I assume.

There is something new which is not mini-pets or tonics. No sure whether it will be the reward for the quest.

No idea. Doubt such data can be found inside the client's gw.dat.

Seems probable that *a* reward will be a mini Mad King's Guard with around a mini Polar Bear drop rate. Same basic setup as the quests that dispense Polar Bears during Wintersday.

The "something else" may also be a reward.

I'm not sure if i like the idea of having a mini with very low droprate drop from quests that are only in for one year. But it's a high possibility that it'll be since that wouldn't lessen the value of the contest minis all that much *IF* it is a MKG mini.

If it's a different mini it would be nice to have the droprate around the percentage of the celestial minis instead of the polar mini. As those are "one year only" aswell. (Yes i do realize that they might come back if enough years pass)

Nice find.

This sounds exciting.

sure we can :P
All a matter of opinions though.

All the same these quests will be cool and I'm sure the reward (mini or not) will be nice too.

Oh, I can't wait!

My favorite time of the year in GW is Halloween.

Now check the .dat and tell me what the Costume Brawl bars are gonna be. I can't wait this last hour!

Good find.

A solo quest eh with set skills. Thank God, I was scared this new Underworld quest would have the Permasins coming in freaking droves.

Is there any news on how you start this quest? I assume we'll get it from an npc, maybe in lions arch? Does anyone know?
