Online:Witches Festival
The Witches Festival is a holiday event that typically takes place in the month of October. During this event players can obtain a skeletal polymorph, a 100% XP buff and the opportunity to acquire a collection of Witches Festival-themed items. The festival also has a special quest associated with it, named The Witchmother’s Bargain, which repeats every year. A notable feature of the event is the inclusion of Plunder Skulls. Plunder Skulls are special reward containers that grant players various event-themed items.
Contents
Witchmother’s Cauldron [ edit ]
After completing The Witchmother’s Bargain, the Witchmother’s Whistle memento is gained. The whistle can be used repeatedly during the event to summon the Witchmother’s Cauldron, which grants you and your party a two-hour 100% XP buff that stacks with all other XP bonuses. Drinking from the Witchmother’s Cauldron will transform your character into skeleton for the duration of the buff. After the end of the event, the memento will no longer grant the XP buff or the skeleton transformation.
The whistle can be used by all characters on your account (including characters who have not completed The Witchmother’s Bargain) since Mementos are account-wide, despite the fact that the quest itself is separate for each character.
