Halloween Event Guide

The custom Halloween event is Tower of Shattered Lanterns in Convorteum (`convorteum`, instance version 1). This is separate from older rat-bounty Halloween scripts.

Access

The event is wired through Dizzy's dynamic-zone launcher in Greater Faydark. When the Convorteum Halloween toggle is enabled, Dizzy offers Tower of Shattered Lanterns (Halloween Event) and creates a `convorteum` expedition.

Tower Progression

Tower of Shattered Lanterns is built as a multi-floor progression event. The zone controller spawns trash, minibosses, plinths, and bosses across floors 1 through 6. The default zone script applies era and raid scaling to the event NPCs.

Progression is controlled through essence counts, miniboss credit, and keys:

Floor	Progression
Floor 1	Kill early tower enemies and floor 1 minibosses. The scripts track Floor 1 essence separately and start the tower key flow.
Floor 2	Gather 12 Floor 2 essences and defeat the Floor 2 miniboss to receive the Obsidian Key for Floor 3.
Floor 3	Gather 12 Floor 3 essences and defeat both Floor 3 minibosses, Twilight Phantasm and Glasswork Duelist, to receive the Phantasmal Key for Floor 4.
Floor 4	Gather 12 Floor 4 essences and defeat the required Floor 4 minibosses to receive the Ember Key for Floor 5.
Floor 5	Kill the bone-spawned enemies for 30 Floor 5 essences and defeat The Lanternless to receive the Umbral Key for Floor 6.
Floor 6	Face The Wickbreaker, plinth mechanics, and the final boss Morghast, Shatterlight Sovereign.

Final Boss

Morghast, Shatterlight Sovereign is the floor 6 boss. The script locks the boss at HP checkpoints and signals plinths at 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, and 10%. The boss becomes vulnerable again after the active plinth stage is resolved.

On combat engage, Morghast can seed era-appropriate loot. In Luclin or Planes of Power eras there is also a small chance for Hallow's Spell. In Velious, Luclin, and Planes of Power eras there is a small chance for one of the Halloween candy items.

Cursebreaker Quest

Hollen Shadowstalker handles the Cursebreaker turn-in. Players combine ten unique Curse Breaker relics into the Seal of Curseproof using the tiered reforging kit. Turning the seal in grants curse immunity tracking and the Cursebreaker title. The script also shares the protection to same-IP group members that do not already have it.

-Some rats use indoor-only location selection. Some combat versions set short lock globals so the same target cannot immediately be reused.

-Several rat steps give one or more candy items, with later steps giving larger stacks. PVP-flagged characters can qualify for separate PVP reward globals on some steps.
-== Bristlebane Tickets ==
-'''Bristlebane's Ticket of Admission''' is used with '''Dieffer Wolfhugger''' in the Halloween event zone. Ticket turn-ins can result in tricks, candy, or special prizes depending on the script version and random roll.
-Possible trick items include:
-* Sand
-* Chunk of Coal
-* Pocket Lint
-Possible treat rewards include stacks of Halloween candy.
-Special-prize logic uses globals such as '''halloween_special_winner''' and can award mount/illusion-style prizes, '''Gold Ticket''', or '''Peace Be With You''' depending on the active Dieffer script and the player's reward state.
-== Notable NPCs ==
-'''Toby''', '''Napoleon''', and '''Paulie''' have extra combat forms in the Halloween event scripts. These versions can spawn final forms, signal location triggers, or reset their rat globals if they time out.
-'''Dieffer Wolfhugger''' also has utility behavior in older scripts, including SoW/SoE donation handling and weather control.
