Mogloween Returns This Weekend

October Begins with a Return to MystCroft!

Candy, costumes, & craziness are in season this Mogloween! If you haven't joined us for this event before, Mogloween is the fall seasonal event where you Trick or BEAT your way through the spookiest, creepiest releases we've put out over the last five years! Just /join mogloween and get ready for bats, brawls, and LOTS of hallow-SCREAMS!

Welcome to MystCroft!

It is a dark and stormy night, fog creeps through the trees and into the houses of Battleon. When you step outside, a beacon pulses in the darkness. As you walk towards it, ghostly moans grow louder. When you enter a clearing you KNOW wasn't there before, you see a portal that takes you to... MystCroft, realm of spookily-delicious Mogloween adventures!

Find the Cauldron sisters, Bubble, Toil, and Trouble, when you /join mogloween and help them play their tricks to save Mogloween... and all the delicious treats that come with it! You'll also have a chance to unlock some of our most awesomely spooky (and most popular gear) of the year!

NEW in MystCroft: the NecroNaut!

If this isn't your first time battling through our Mogloween event, we've got NEW quests and a boss monster for you to tackle - starting today, replay everyone's favorite spooky holiday from years ago & get 2015 Seasonal Rare items. Then, SQUASH the Gatekeeper’s quests and take down the Necronaut in the new Mystcroft challenge area!

This being hails from the Afterlife area of Delta V (also known as the world of Epic Duel, Artix Entertainment's multi-player PVP game), and in AQWorlds, you can talk to the GateKeeper to complete his quests. The new map frames were created by volunteer Epic Duel artist Bido, who has also begun working with AQW background artist J6 to assemble NEW maps from existing art!

The Necronaut and Ultra Necronaut both have a chance to drop the following house item rewards:

Happy and Sad Tryx Cauldrons
Green Pumpkin Patch
Sad and Sadder Pumpkin

And you'll be able to find the Necronaut Limited time Shop in your Game Menu with the:

Necronaut Armor and Helm
Doom Necronaut Armor and Helm
Necronaut and Doom Necronaut Pets

This shop will leave on October 16th, so get your necro gear while it's still here!
