Spooky Festival



The Spooky Festival is an event that takes place from Autumn 29-31 (in-game time) and lasts for 1 hour (real life time), during which every monster will have a chance to drop either Green or Purple Candies (this chance gets bigger when holding a spooky talisman). In real life, the time between Spooky festivals is 5 days and 4 hours.

Green Candies count for 1 point and Purple ones count for 5 points. Higher-level monsters have better chances to drop Purple Candies.

Note: Endermen that are spawned from ender pearls do not drop candies.

Players can find when the next event starts (real-world time) using this fansite.

Leaderboard + Rewards
The Leaderboard is defined by the number of candy collected.

Note: Obtaining candy from a Bat Pinata will not add points to the leaderboard

Rewards will be given at the end of the Spooky Festival based on your placing in the leaderboard:

Each tier gets all the items in the tier below it (except coins, you get just the value listed). The rewards can be collected at the leaderboard near the Fear Mongerer. But if you missed it, you still can claim rewards in SkyBlock Menu in the "Calendar and Events" section.

Fear Mongerer


While the Spooky Festival only occurs from Autumn 29-31, The Fear Mongerer NPC and his shop will be available for three hours. They will arrive one hour before the event begins and depart one hour after the event ends.

The Fear Mongerer is located in the Village at the Event Stand, which is a big pumpkin during this time. Candies can be exchanged with the Fear Mongerer for various Spooky Festival-exclusive items, including the Bat Artifact and Bat Person Armor.

Headless Horseman
The Headless Horseman is a boss related to the Spooky Festival. Spawning it requires the Horseman's Candle to be bought from the Fear Mongerer during the event, but it can be used at any time (during the night hours).

Among other things, it drops Spooky Shards, which can be used to craft the Bat Person Armor as an upgrade to Spooky Armor, the Bat Person Ring and Artifact, and the Ghoul Buster.

Spawning the Horseman will give you 4 Spooky Shards, and players who achieve #1 damage on the boss will be given 1 Spooky Shard. Damaging the Horseman will reward Green candies and Purple Candies.
