[Ended] Phantom Masquerade - Halloween Event 2024 EVENT DURATION: OCTOBER 9 2024 - NOVEMBER 10 2024 As the veil between worlds thins on the eve of Halloween, whispers of an ancient celebration fill the air. Legends speak of a grand masquerade held once every century, where mortals and spirits dance under the moonlit sky. Known only as the Phantom Feast, this mysterious event draws the brave and curious to a hidden realm, where the line between the living and the dead blurs. At the heart of the celebration lies the Phantom Masquerade—a night of enchanting music, elaborate masks, and shadowy figures. But beware, for those who attend may find themselves swept into a game where not everything is as it seems. Will you dare to join the dance? Or will the phantoms claim you before dawn? Similar to our traditional seasonal event, Phase 1 will focus on grinding. You can collect monster loot, join battlegrounds to level up your compendium, and more. Notice: Due to earlier server lag issues, we haven't loaded the majority of NPCs for Phase 1. We'll monitor the situation today and update the NPCs by tomorrow. ★ DETECTIVE EQUIPMENT ★ You find Detective Shou in Caspen (caspen 174 214). He wholeheartedly welcomes to to the CRAPS, the Caspen Research and Paranormal Studies, which is a small group of paranormal detectives. He enlists your aid and gives you your own Mystery Detective Set (time-limited event item), and a Divine Weapon. You can enter Hallow City by talking to Detective Shou, by talking to the Temporal Rift Beside him, or warping directly ( hallow_city). In order to deal significant damage to the various monsters you find inside Hallow City, you will need to equip the Detective Set and Divine Weapon. You can further strengthen your Divine Weapon by talking to the Divine Upgrader (hallow_city 171 194). For each upgrading attempt, it will cost 50x Mystery Tokens. You can acquire Mystery Tokens by doing the various activities for this event. You can upgrade your Divine Weapon up to level 10. Once it reaches level 10, it will deal higher damage to the monsters. The monsters drop a bunch of items. Loot and save these items for future phases. ★ COMPENDIUM: THE PHANTOM MASQUERADE ★ This Halloween, the Phantom Masquerade compendium has been added, with a total of 200 levels. The levels of of this compendium will be increased with each phase. As with the previous summer compendium, you will need to level up both facets through various in-game features. You can find the Phantom Masquerade Book in Hallow City (hallow_city 166 195). PVE AND PVP FACETS PVE Facet Compendium EXP Sources:Level up by killing monsters during Race. (TBA in race) Usual features that give compendium XP will now boost the PVE facet. Monsters have a low chance to drop 1k XP crystals. Daily quests (found inside compendium) also reward PVE facet EXP. PVP Facet Compendium EXP Sources:Level up through battlegrounds. Winners of the 500 PVP automated events will receive PVP facet XP. COMPENDIUM TREASURE BOXESYou can claim these via your Compendium. You need Phantom Treasure Chest Keys to open 1 Compendium Treasure Box. When claiming Compendium Treasure Boxes, you can randomly either get a PVE Treasure Box, or a PVP Treasure Box. The maximum amount of Compendium Treasure Boxes that you can acquire from your Compendium is equal to the lowest level of both of your PVE and PVE Facet Levels. If your current PVE Facet Level is 5 and your current PVP Facet Level is 20, the maximum number of boxes that you can claim is 5. If your PVE Facet Level increases to 10 later on, you can acquire an additional 5 boxes. Take note that the rewards that can be acquired from each Compendium Box will depend on the levels indicated in its name. For example, for PVE Treasure Box 1-50, this means that when opening this box, you can only get a random reward from Level 1 to 50 of the PVE rewards. When you open a treasure box, the rewards you receive will be based on the number you roll. For example, if you roll a 50 out of 1-50 on a PVP treasure box, you’ll receive a trial artifact, which is the level 50 reward for the compendium’s PVP facet. Compendium Treasure Boxes are tradable. The Phantom Treasure Chest Keys are tradable as well. Thus, you can sell your boxes and/or to players if you don't have enough keys to open them. You can open as many Treasure Boxes that you want as long that you have keys. PREMIUM COMPENDIUM REWARDS Premium Rewards can be accessed via the Compendium. You can unlock it by paying either 2,500x 1B Zeny Bags or 150x Donation Tokens. Take note that the level of your premium rewards will depend on your PvE and PvP facet levels. The level will be the lower of either PvE or PvP facet. For example, if your PvE facet is level 20, but your PvP facet is still level 13, your premium reward level will be 13. ★ COMPENDIUM EXP SOURCES ★ SOCIAL TASKBOARD 50 PVE Facet Compendium EXP per Finished Task BATTLEGROUNDS Win 8x BG playtime Mystery Tokens 30% chance to get Compendium Treasure Key. 250 PVP Facet Compendium exp (cap at 6000 a day) 2% chance to get 1x Halloween Battle EXP crystal (no cap) Additional chance to get extra drop rewards Lose 6x BG playtime Mystery Tokens 15% chance to get compendium treasure key. 150 PVP Facet Compendium EXP (cap at 6000 a day) 0.5% chance to get 1 Halloween Battle EXP crystal (no cap) DAILY QUEST 250x Mystery Tokens 250x PVE Facet Compendium EXP 1x Paragon Ticket 1x Alice Old Apron WIN 500 PVP 200x Mystery Token 300 PVP Facet Compendium EXP 1x Paragon Ticket FINISH ZEPH HUNTING MISSIONS (Mission level/3)x Mystery Token WIN GOBLIN INVASION 150x Mystery Token 1x Paragon Ticket 200 PVE Facet Compendium EXP WIN SURVIVAL EVENT 250x Mystery Token 1 x Paragon Ticket 300 PVE Facet Compendium EXP WIN DICE EVENT 350x Mystery Token 1x Paragon Ticket 300 PVE Facet Compendium EXP WIN PORING CATCHER 350x Mystery Token 1 x Paragon Ticket 350 PVE Facet Compendium EXP COMPLETE SCAVENGER HUNT 50x Mystery Token 1x Alice Old Apron WHEEL OF FORTUNE 150 PVE Facet Compendium EXP ★ COMPENDIUM DAILY QUEST ★ You need to kill 200 of a specified monster to complete your Compendium Daily Quest.

You can do the Murder Mystery Quest once per day. It resets every 00:00 server time. Try talking to the suspects. You have to present them with the various items you've looted around Hallow City as evidence and see how they'd respond. You can submit as many or as few items as you like, but there will be a minimum amount that you need to submit. Take note that each suspect will only accept submissions for an item once per day. This means, if you've submitted 100x Blood Vials to the Butler already, he won't accept any further Blood Vial submissions.
