I have finished the halloween event yesterday. It was not too fun, but it was pretty satisfying looking at an inventory full of purples.
I mean LOOK AT THIS.
You’re telling me this inventory isn’t satisfying to look at?
I will be splitting this review into two sections.
The Hunt
At first when I saw the preview, I was a little disappointed. So, the way we get our items is to just grind like normal and do nothing interesting? I expected some kind of maybe special quest, a special boss, or any other way than just plain grinding.
Doing chests is what I do all the time, and the quests and fishing just add extra boredom to the event. Look, I did not enjoy running around Summer Hold looking for the boring quests and praying to the RNG gods just to get the item I needed.
A thing I can say is, Vetex did a pretty nice job for making the RNG a little more forgiving. It doesn’t take as long as a sunken to get the items, at least.
The Vanities
In this section I will rate every single vanity out of 10.
Pumpkin Fedora : 5/10; pretty meh.
Dark Omen Mask : 9/10, well designed; I love it very much.
Wrappings (Head) : 4/10; garbage, doesn’t go well with outfits.
Mini Cauldron : 7/10; if you wanted to dress more like a witch I guess you can now.
Death Crown : 8/10; another great one, neutral colors work with most outfit and gives a deadly vibe to it.
Candy Corn Hat : 3/10; trash, doesn’t go well.
Halloween Bag : 5/10; not bad, but not good either.
Wrappings (Body) : 7/10, this is better since you can pretend you have wounds all over, but it would be higher if the Torso disable feature worked on this one.
Skeleton hat : 7/10; well-designed, if you wanted to become a pirate witch, this hat is for you.
Hallowed I : 8/10; pumpkin hats are good in general.
Shoulder Crow : 9/10; interesting accessory for shoulder, which works with most outfits.
Bat Ears : 7/10; would work well if RNG gives a great color.
Wrappings (Legs) : 6/10; same reason as body, but makes less sense on legs.
Skull Chain Necklace : 8/10; very cool necklace, if you don’t use a cape that covers up the entire necklace.
Hallowed II : 8/10; same reason as Hallowed I.
Headless Horseman : 8/10; very great if you decide to dress like a mythical creature.
Overall, I would rate the Halloween event a 4/10, it gave some great vanities overall (at least better than independence, because the vanity can actually work in outfits better), but is a pain to get the items and doesn’t give much enjoyment.
