Halloween Madness Carnival [Phase 3]

 

This Halloween season we introduce the Halloween Compendium - Book of Madness. It is said that before the conveniences such as cursed mobile phones/ or cursed fax numbers, people had to make do with plain old cursed books; you never know what might be lurking in those texts, for thousands of years, grimoires have been attached to textbooks, novels, poems, encyclopedias, historiographies, and even poetry collections.

 

But when we talk about the Compendium Book of Madness, you won't encounter lousy luck or even be cursed in a traditional sense, but more of a supernaturally dangerous one. What is written in this book shall be determined by your own effort, and what is written, shall be done accordingly. Halloween Compendium once belonged to a powerful entity that the GMs should not name. It contains an ancient manuscript that teams of scribes and scholars have compiled. Brave players will have to encode it with each passing time.

The spookiest event has arrived in BraveRO for the first time! Every player will be able to take part in the Halloween Event where they can earn and exchange items for exclusive rewards! Every brave adventurer participating in this event will have their hands full for the foreseeable future. Riches and rewards await those who have the bravery to work for them.

 

There will be some new things in this Halloween event such as the introduction of the Compendium Book of Madness in Phase 1 and the addition of a modified Airship Halloween instance in phase 2!

 

The festivities will run from Oct 7 2022 to November 6 Sunday. It will run for a total of 31 days.

 

Let the Madness Carnival begin! 

 

 

 

It's the time again when the barrier between the living and the dead grows thin, and those who have passed on can be sensed by the living. It's the time when those imprisoned and sealed in chaotic planes gain strength to temporarily descend and manifest themselves among mortals. Rigel, the Queen of the Dead can no longer wait until she can descend. She sent her legions from the Madness Dimension to shape this realm of the Braves into a world filled with torment, sorrow, and death. 

 

They must be stopped! The Caspen Research And Paranormal Study team is looking for brave adventurers who can aid them in their fight against these invading monsters. To be qualified, a player must be Lv. 500, and at least of 2nd class or above, they should have sufficient courage to face these rampaging creatures of madness.

 

The monsters this time are different, they are extremely strong, have extremely high life ratings, and they are also immune to normal physical and magical attacks. Only with the new equipment designed to battle them can you deal significant damage against them.

 

 

 

Players can register as a Ghost Hunter through the Ghost Hunting Tech Officer located in Caspen. This time normal equipments will have no power against these monsters. The only way to deal against them is through equipping the Divine Armaments. These equipments is capable of vanishing a specified amount of life points from seasonal monsters. Every 2nd job and above classes should be able to get and equip one. 

 

 

 

 

Weapons will remain time-limited but players can choose to upgrade them up to level 10 giving them a little bit of bonus especially at Lvl 10. Weapon can be upgraded at the Armament Mastersmith located inside Halloween city.

 

 

 

Notes: Compendium of Madness is account bound/gepard bound. You should not create multiple compendium in different accounts other than your main account. Once one of your character in your main account finished the compendium quest, you can just use @compendium command to access the book on your other account.

Other than the usual attendance reward, the NPC also give 200 compendium exp. You can sign up to the attendance NPC once every 23 hours. Don't miss a single day, you might get something really nice.

 

Warning: Do not try claiming multiple reward in this NPC using multiple accounts. 

 

 

 

There are six different boosters all providing different buffs. They last for 15 minutes. Do take note that the timer will still continue even if you're offline. Boosters can be obtained from the Seasonal Point Shop NPC, drops from Trick Mimics, or as additional rewards from Dispatch Missions.

 

 

 

Every 3 hours, there will be an Invasion Event inside Hallow City and 1 other map. Monsters from the Madness Dimension will appear and wreak havoc. Kill them and earn 1~3 seasonal points. The race for each map will be counted separately. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd ranked players after each invasion will win various items and 10, 8, and 6 race shop points respectively. The 4th and 5th ranked players gets 4 and 2 race shop points respectively.

 

 

 

A few minutes after the Invasion Race, Trick Mimics will spawn inside Halloween City, bringing various rewards. Every player may kill them for a chance to win valuable rewards! The event duration is 45 minutes.

 

Rewards range from Raffle Tickets, Zeny Bags, EXP Crystals, Boosters, valuable items like Pure Elunium, Pure Oridecon, Divinium Ore, and many more!

 

 

 

Several days after the nonstop legions of monsters sent by Rigel, the Brave Heroes of the realm have learned to adapt and survive. Over time, the Caspen Research and Paranormal Study has sent various personnel to aid and assist our heroes in the fight against the tide of darkness.

 

Now that we have somewhat adapted to fighting the monsters from the Madness Dimension, the time to make an offensive move has come! In order to further understand and counter the vicious monsters, Brave Heroes are tasked to capture various ghosts throughout the realm. Every ghost captured is a step closer to victory.

 

Rigel must not succeed in her relentless attempt to enslave our beloved realm! Push forward heroes!

 

 

 

The time to hunt ghosts is here! Talk to the Mission Dispatcher NPC in Halloween City to take a mission. You will be assigned to capture and take pictures of ghosts in a random location. To know the location of your mission, you can check using the @ghosthunt command. The Dispatcher will reward you based on the number of ghosts you have identified.

 

When you're at the location, you're greeted by a Ghost Trap. The minimum activation cost for a trap are 5 Ghost Coffins, 5 Magic Candles, 2 Jars of Blood, and 1 Evil Scroll. However, you can amplify the power of the trap by a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 20. Amplifying the trap increases its catching power and attraction. This means that if you'll maximize the amplification, you'll have higher chance of capturing a ghost and luring rarer ghosts. Rarer ghosts can give better rewards. 

 

If you have successfully captured a ghost, it will reward you with Halloween Candies. Afterwards, an additional question will be asked. If you answered correctly, it will grant bonus rewards.

 

Do take note that maximizing the amplification does not guarantee good drops, higher rarity ghosts, or capturing anything. As such, there's still a chance that the ghost may escape.

 

After you have captured the required amount of ghosts, return to the Dispatcher and he'll reward you with Compendium EXP and a random booster item.

thank you for the report. Already made it unstackable.

Changelog:

Allowed monsters to receive actual damage and get status. It means you can poison, stun, freeze the monsters. You can also use steal on them. I just want to see if anyone can come up with a good build.

 

This is still under observation

can we make event item weight 0 please

Reduce to 0.1

Will the event shop be just like last easter event where both loots and event token are needed to buy items? Or it will just like last year's halloween event where we use the loots as a way to gain more tokens?

I am really hoping for the second option :-P

can this be fixed pls lol

Since, we are already anticipating that this is/was going to happen sooner rather than later.

 

 

While you're at it, you might want to brush up on the Server Rules and Policies on Macro Use

Will the event shop be just like last easter event where both loots and event token are needed to buy items? Or it will just like last year's halloween event where we use the loots as a way to gain more tokens?

 

only tokens will be required for the shop items.

 

I don't have idea what the other loots will be used for, neither Bravo knows. Need to wait for phase 2.

Ok, Thank you

The Goblin Invasion event seems to be broken, didn't appear today, making 3 times wasted opportunities to gain extra exp and items, as I am now writting this time. Please fix it, I wanna play this event. All other automated events are running fine, only Goblin one does not.

My Compendium Book of Madness, didn't received any EXP (twice) from Daily Quest.

That's weird.

 

Can you take screenshot of your Daily Quest reward image message like the one when you received your DQ token in chatbox? This might help us see where the issue is. Also how do you take your rewards? From board or from Daily Quest npc? We can't easily figure it out if it's only happening in your account unless we can find what's the difference between yours and the others who isn't having the issue.

hello, can you add the monster spawn point at certain spot like last xmas? e.g hellring spot in 7 clock, nightmare glob at 9 pm clock spot, so the repeatable quest can be done with party members, or make it like zeph quest ?

The Repeatable Hunting Quest is meant to be done solo, hence why it's set the way it is.

maybe solo only but the 100% random spawn can take quite a while to hunt down, having a localized spawn point would be a nice idea

the problem with this is it also encourages people to afk, dual client (2 device or more), macro bot and so on. When there's a lot of people doing the same quest, it become too easy that people can afk while a single person do it. Quest like this is automatically shared in the party. Actually when it's first released the idea is to allow players to hunt around the map with a party but the requirement is like 1k+ mobs. Unfortunately we found out that the party share system is only screen wide so the requirement was reduced a lot. Back in christmas, there's a lot of botters caught because of the localized mob spawn.

 

Eitherway, there's already a few macro botters caught during this event. If mobs spawn in localized area, it will be easier to bot for them. Sure it's a good convenience for players but it also comes with negative effect that doesn't really help the server.

that is totally fair, though a pain lol but I must thank the botters for making everyone else life harder
