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 Candy. 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.

Candy
All Mobs have a chance to drop Green Candy when killed during a Spooky Festival. The chance can be increased with certain items. Green Candy has a chance to be converted into Purple Candy when it drops from a mob, which is calculated with this formula: $$ConvertChance = GreenCandyDropChance + \frac{MobLevel}{5}$$

Spooky Mobs
Spooky Mobs only appear in the night time during the Spooky Festival in certain areas such as the Graveyard. They drop Candy and other drops related to the festival (like Ectoplasm). There are 6 Spooky Mobs. These mobs only take one damage per hit on normal circumstances, although they have a very small amount of. To be more efficient, it is recommended to use a weapon with high like the Livid Dagger or to reforge your weapon to fast. Another option is to use the Ghoul Buster as it deals to Spooky Mobs. The best pet to use for the Spooky Mobs is the Bat Pet.

Trick or Treat Chests
When a Mob is killed during a Spooky Festival, there is a chance to spawn a Trick or Treat Chest. They can be opened and will give the player 1-3 Spooky items, or will spawn a Spooky Mob.

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

Note: Obtaining candy from a Bat Piñata 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 s, 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 s, and players who achieve #1 damage on the boss will be given. Damaging the Horseman will reward Green Candies and Purple Candies.
