The witching hour is upon us again!

Hircine smells have spread through the world of Wurm, and the bearded spirits (some evil, some less) have taken residence at your homes and smithies.

Some say that a knock on the door, an odd custom from a distant realm, is just what the ghosts are waiting for to reveal themselves...

The Halloween event starts on October 27th 2024 (00:00 CEST) and lasts until November 5th 2024 (23:59 CET).

This event features:

• 20% skill gain rate bonus [/*]
• 20% affinity gain rate bonus [/*]
• New Halloween specific activity and rewards [/*]
• Rewards from previous Halloween events available through hunting and archaeology [/*]
• Discounts on sleep powder packages in the shop
  [/*]

You can find three new items as rewards for the event:

• Figurine of Grimbleat - A silver figurine portraying a frightful goat demon. [/*]
• Arachnid Necklace - A spooky necklace in the shape of an eight-legged horror. [/*]
• Goat Head Necklace - A gleaming necklace featuring a sturdy goat head. It is made of cast silver. [/*]

You can now knock on doors to get ghosts to appear - most of them are peaceful enough, but defeating the aggressive ones will give you the desired rewards.

The structure you knocked on gets a 24 hour cooldown until you can summon the ghost again (other players can still do it), and you cannot knock on your own structures, so you may need to travel around to find the haunted structures.

You will also be able to get the new items as fragments by doing archaeology during the event, and as usual, you can still get fragments for old items, as well as gain some old event rewards by hunting creatures.

Below is a list of other items that you can find during this event:

• "Skjaldi the Scarecrow" (archeology item) [/*]
• "Autumn wreath" (archeology item) [/*]
• "Black-winged shoulderpads" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Sigvard the Skeleton" (archeology item) [/*]
• "Flaming skull candle" (archeology item) [/*]
• "Pet bat cage" (archeology item) [/*]
• "Statue of Pumpkin Terror" (archeology item) [/*]
• "Pumpkin shoulder pad" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Troll mask" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Skull mask" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Deception mask" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Plague mask" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Faceless mask" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Minion mask" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Witch hat" (creature drop) [/*]
• "Black bear helm" (creature drop) [/*]

At the same time, we’ll be running a sale on sleep powder in the in-game silver shop, so that you can take full advantage of the bonus skill gain event.

We'll be updating the game today, in a few hours, with a short downtime to implement this event. However the event itself will begin only on October 27th.

Happy Halloween from the Wurm Online team!
 
Small bit of unrelated news:
Monthly skin reruns will also make a return to the shop on November 1st, with two skins showing up in the shop each month, instead of only one like before.
