Ice Maiden · 17 October – 12 November 2026
Harvest the souls of the monsters you slay and bring them to the Necromancer Guild. Every six hours, Halloween monsters invade, and your team fights for the prize.
Event one · 17 October – 12 November
Halloween Festival
Monsters across the continent carry souls the Necromancer Guild wants. Harvest them, trade them, and make the whole server stronger.
Harvest souls
Every monster you defeat has a 1% chance to leave a
Harvested Monster Soul. It goes straight into your bag. Any monster counts, at any level and anywhere in the world, including kills made by your creature.
Souls cannot be traded between players and do not expire. Kills inside Ursa Caverns do not count.
The Necromancer Guild
Five Necromancers have come to town. Any of them will take your souls.
Start the game through the launcher so the update installs. Without it you will not see the Necromancers.
Trade souls for rewards
Choose Trade Harvested Souls and hand in 1, 10, 25 or 50 souls at once. Each soul gives one reward, drawn from this table:

If your bag fills up halfway through a trade, the trade stops and the souls you have not spent stay with you.
Receive the Necromancer Buff
The Guild has a soft spot for its own kind: Summoners, Battle Summoners and Overlords get the buff for free.
Insult the Necromancer
You can. The Necromancer will turn you into a random monster for 30 minutes. You have been warned.
Necromancer's Power
Everyone online carries Necromancer's Power, a buff to all basic stats for players and their creatures. It starts each day at +0.5% and climbs with every soul anyone gives the Guild, in trades and for the buff, up to +20% at 3,000 souls. It resets every day at 00:00 UTC.
The first steps come fast: +1% at 10 souls, +3% at 50, +5% at 140, +10% at 600. Ask any Necromancer for Current Soul Standings to see today's count.
Event two · 17 October – 12 November
Halloween Invasion
Four times a day, pumpkins, horsemen and their masters pour into five areas of the continent for one hour. Pick the area for your level and fight for your team.
When
The times under each wave are in your own time zone.
Each invasion lasts one hour. You will see warnings 10 and 5 minutes before it starts. Every area holds 50 invaders at once, and Veiled Island 220; the ones you defeat are replaced within a minute for the whole hour. Each boss appears once per invasion and does not come back.
Where
Five areas, one for each level range. Invaders and bosses appear next to the area's ordinary monsters, so they turn up only in the lit patches on these maps, taken from the game's own minimap.

Invaders: 50 × Blue-Eye Amber Pumpkin (level 40). Boss: Hunchback Samara (level 50).
Nearest teleport: Mourning Graveyard.

Invaders: 50 × Patchwork Horseman's Head (level 90). Boss: Winged Poseidon Imp (level 100).
Nearest teleport: Palmir Plateau.

Invaders: 50 × Patchwork Horseman's Head (level 130). Boss: Earless Scorched Goblin (level 150).
The lit desert lies just west of Mare Village.

Invaders: 50 horsemen and pumpkins, levels 160–190. Bosses: Lamia the Conjuror (level 180) and Mutated Chrysalis (level 190).
Nearest teleport: Crystal Mountain Gate.

Invaders: 220 invaders of nine kinds, levels 195–250, spread over the whole island. Bosses: 12 per invasion, four each of Death, Actually (205), Invulnerable Violaceous Implord (220) and Enormous Marfan Thorax (250).
Nearest teleports: Frozen Thorn Forest in the north and Frozen Coast in the south, both in the Veiled Island menu.
Invaders do not attack first. The bosses are built for parties.
What invaders drop
Invaders are full monsters of their level. Each one gives EXP and JP, a 70–80% chance of Rupees, and the regular loot of its level, Skill Card Boxes included. On top of that, every kill can bring Halloween extras:
| Halloween extra, per invader | Chance |
|---|---|
| Treats | 2.5% |
| Necromancer's Crystal of any stat, or | 2% |
| 1% | |
| Necromancer's Piece any of the 25 | about 1% |
| 0.5% | |
| Loot pet 28 days | 0.4% |
| Costume 365 days | 0.4% |
| 0.05% |
Item drops go by the usual loot rules. Team points come only from invaders of your own level range.
Trick or Treat
“You are now part of team Trick!”
“You are now part of team Treat!”
Every day each of your characters joins one of two teams. It happens the first time that day the character logs in, defeats an invader or asks a Necromancer about the invasion. You go to whichever team has fewer players so far that day, and a coin toss settles a tie, so the two sides stay even.
Your team holds until 00:00 UTC. Then everyone is sorted again, so tomorrow you may fight for the other side. Each of your characters gets its own team.
Points
| Your level | Per invader | Per boss |
|---|---|---|
| 1–150 | 1 point | 100 points |
| 151 and up | 10 points | 1,000 points |
Only invaders of your own level range count. A level 155 player who clears the Palmir Plateau scores nothing, and ordinary monsters never score.
The final blow takes the points. They go to the character who lands it; a kill by your creature counts as yours. Party members do not share them.
Every point counts twice: toward your own score for the day, and toward your team's total.
Kills are counted too. To share in the prize you need 20 invaders of your own level range in one day; a boss counts as one. You get a message when you reach 20.
Winning
At 00:00 UTC the day closes and the server announces the final score. The team with more points wins. A draw has no winner.
Everyone on the winning team who defeated at least 20 invaders that day receives 5 ×
Halloween Invasion Reward the next day, as soon as they are online. A character with fewer kills gets nothing, even when its team wins, and is told how many it had. Players on the losing side with 20 kills hear “Hard luck! Your team didn't win.”
Collect it the next day: a reward that is not picked up by the end of that day is lost. The last day's result is paid out on 13 November. If your bag is full, make room the same day and it arrives within a minute.
| Inside each Halloween Invasion Reward | Chance |
|---|---|
| Necromancer's Crystal × 1–2 of any of the six stats | 35% |
| 13% | |
| 13% | |
| 9% | |
| 9% | |
| 8% | |

| 500 cash shop points 5 × | 3% |
The boxes expire 14 days after you receive them, so open them in time. Points Cards can't be traded, and a card dropped on the ground can't be picked up again.
Titles
Win or lose, a day you fought for leaves its mark. Each title is earned once, together with that day's result, and it is yours to keep.
Incoming damage −15% physical, skill and magic hits, like Camper
Taming chance +0.5%
As with the boxes, you need 20 invader kills that day. A draw gives neither title.
A title works only as your main title; neither can be a sub title. Choose it in the Titles window.
Boss spoils
The player who lands the final blow on a boss of their own level range takes its spoils:
| Spoil | Chance |
|---|---|
| 1–3 Necromancer's Crystals | always |
| Reawakening Stone 1 to 7; the higher the number, the rarer | 25% |
| 15% | |
| Enhanced Teardrop stone any of 14, from Valor to Escutcheon | 10% |
| Permanent loot pet | 2% |
Your score
Ask any Necromancer about the Halloween Invasion to see your team, your points and kills today, both team totals and when the next invasion begins.
