Halloween has Arrived in Sundaria!

We are happy to announce that the Halloween Event is live. During this event, players may speak with the Galdrin's Harvest Watcher in town to begin. Players will be tasked with obtained Candy Apples from the bosses of Sundaria. Players may exchange the Candy Apples at the Watcher for rewards.

• 5 new weapon pattern rewards
• Class Set Fragments
• Magical Cores and Tokens of Change

Additionally, two new fearsome Halloween enemies are stalking the dungeons of Sundaria. These enemies will drop a large amount of Candy Apples when killed. If either one manages to kill you, or you flee, they will leave that dungeon run and go on the hunt once more. These new bosses are only available on Nightmare difficulty, and can spawn in all 7 dungeons.
