Start of the Pumpkin Festival!by: GM Fidelis

Heyho, everyone!
Spoiler for old installer info:
First of all, there has been a problem with the current patcher. If you've already played on AnesisRO, then please download the following file, and install it into your AnesisRO (or maybe it's still called AnimusRO) folder:
http://download.anesisro.com/anesis_patcherupdate.exeIf you are an old player from AnimusRO, but you
haven't played on AnesisRO yet (i.e. you didn't use the tiny installer from
[this topic]), then
don't download the above mentioned file, but follow the instructions in the topic that I just linked.
Basically, just check if there is an APatchData folder in your AnesisRO folder. If yes, just patch normally, if no, download the patcher update file! If you don't know, just install the latest conversion/mini installer on top of your current installation.
If you are a completely new player of AnesisRO, please download the full or conversion/mini installer (depending if you ever played RO on a different server). We recommend that you use the
[Torrent Full Installer], it's usually the safest way to download the big files! If you are using the torrent, please seed after downloading!
If you do not install the new patcher, we cannot guarantee you that you will always have the latest updates and patches, so please install the new patcher if you are affected by it, and always patch before logging into the game!
With that being said, it's
EVENT TIME~!
The weather gets worse, the temperatures fall (at least in some part of the world), the leaves drop from the trees, and the sun shows itself just rarely over the day. That means it's finally time for:
The Pumpkin Festival
There are lots of things that you can do during the Pumpkin Festival. Prontera has transformed itself into a gloomy/autumn-ly version of itself, but that's not all! Several events will be offered in different towns, and if you participate in these events, you get a
Pumpkin Festival Certificate! You can use these certificates to get rewards. Most of the events you can only do a fixed number of times each day, so you should choose carefully which reward to get. Now you may ask yourself, but where, and what are the events? Patience, young padawan. I'm getting to it.
The Pumpkin Harvest
Some of you may still remember the Pumpkin Harvest minigame that was released one year ago. It's finally back, with an improved map, and a slightly more challenging gameplay! If you want to participate in the Pumpkin Harvest, go to
Geffen 129,70 and talk to the Pumpkin Recruiter! You can do the minigame 5 times each day per account, and for every attempt at this minigame, you will get one certificate, so here, you can collect 5 certificates each day per account.
Trick or Treat
Halloween's just been last week, but during the Pumpkin Festival, it's still custom and practice to dress up and go from house to house to ask for candy. You will be able to trick or treat in the five towns
Izlude, Rachel, Geffen, Alberta, and Niflheim. On the minimap you will see the locations of the houses where you can knock to ask for candy. But wait! You need to put on a costume first! In all of these five towns, you will find the
Unhappy Mask Salesman (yes, he's unhappy because he lost one of his masks, but this is a completely different story...), and he will assist you in creating a mask that disguises you as a monster to go trick or treating! Keep in mind that for each town, you need to put on a different mask, and when using the mask, your costume will only stay for 1 minute, so better stand in front of a door, or else your mask will go to waste. In order to make it easier for you to find the Unhappy Mask Salesman, here are his locations for each town:
 |
Izlude 102,67
South of Rachel (ve_fild02) 183,380
Geffen 39,124
Alberta 28,240
Niflheim 27,157 |
In every town (except for Izlude), there are 10 houses where you can knock on the door (in Izlude, there are 8 houses). You can only knock on a door once each day (
[this] is how a door looks like), and there are different kinds of candies or ... "things" ... that you can get depending on the town. You can go trick or treating 10 times each day per character. For every successful knock on a door, you get 1 certificate. Now go, and find out which types of candy you can get from all the towns!
Mischievous Ghosts
Approximately every two hours,
Mysterious Pumpkins will appear in the towns of
Payon, Aldebaran, and Yuno. They are quite harmless, but among them, a few
Mischievous Ghosts are hiding, disguised as a harmless pumpkin. Find the Mischievous Ghosts, and drive them out of the towns, so they stop scaring people. But be careful, they are quite swift... After 30 minutes, all of the pumpkins will disappear again for a while. You will see an announcement when they're back! For every Mischievous Ghost that you defeat, you will get 1 certificate.
Pumpkin Pies and Pumpkin Festival Rewards
If you have already been online, killing monsters, you might have noticed that sometimes, you receive an
Edible Pumpkin or some
Raw Dough. You can use these items to create a
Powerful Pumpkin Pie that boosts your stats for a short while. To do that, bring 3 Edible Pumpkins and 1 Raw Dough to Casper, the travelling cook. You can find him in
Alberta 114,71. You can only get 1 certificate each day for creating pumpkin pies, but you can create as much pies as you want.
Right next to Casper, you will find Hermann, the happy skeleton. He distributes the
Pumpkin Festival rewards in return for
Pumpkin Festival Certificates. Visit him to see what he offers you.
...
There have been sightings of an old spirit making trouble in the neighborhoo- eh, I mean in the fields
south of Prontera. Not much is known about that, though, so you might want to figure it out on your own.
So, we hope you have as much fun as we have while doing our GM work for you (Adrift is the one wearing the green shirt)!
(Sorry, just joking, I only wanted to have a reason to post this gif.)
See you around, and don't forget to patch!
