How to earn Halloween Pumpkin Coins
Halloween Pumpkin Coin (Event) is the event currency. There are two sources, and neither requires much extra play time.
1. “Trick or Treat” Attendance rewards
Open Attendance in the game menu and claim the reward for the day. There are 14 attendance rewards:
| Day | Coins | Day | Coins |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–6 | 35 each | 8–13 | 35 each |
| 7 | 100 | 14 | 100 |
That is 620 coins in total. The event lasts three weeks, leaving room to miss a couple of days, though claiming rewards daily is best.
2. Event missions
Ten missions are available under Season Mission → Event. They reset once a week per server.
| Mission | Objective | Coins |
|---|---|---|
| [Event] Abyss | Defeat 10 monsters in the Abyss | 25 |
| [Event] Transcendence | Complete a Transcendence Dungeon once | 25 |
| [Event] Expedition | Complete Expedition Conquest once | 25 |
| [Event] Ascension Trial | Complete the Ascension Trial once | 25 |
| [Event] Nightmare | Complete any Nightmare stage once | 25 |
| [Event] Log in | Log in 3 times | 30 |
| [Event] Obtain Equipment | Obtain one unique equipment item | 20 |
| [Event] Use a Scroll | Use 5 scrolls | 20 |
| [Event] Dimensional Invasion | Participate once | 20 |
| [Event] Shugo Festival | Participate once | 20 |
All ten missions give 235 coins per week. That is 705 over three weeks and about 1,325 including Attendance rewards.

Candy in settlements and its keys
The event also places candy around settlements. You need a key to open it. Make keys from Candy Key Fragment (Event), earned from Expedition and Transcendence rewards.
Craft keys in Substance Morph → Event:
| Result | Material | Chance | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Red Candy Key (Event) | 60 fragments | 100% | Once per week per server |
| Yellow Candy Key (Event) | 60 fragments | 100% | Once per week per server |
| Blue Candy Key (Event) | 60 fragments | 100% | Once per week per server |
| 10 Superior Power Shards | 1 fragment | 100% | Unlimited |
Candy contents
Each candy gives all of its listed contents:
| Candy | Main reward | Also included |
|---|---|---|
| Red | 20 Growth Pet Chests, 10 Battle Enhance Scrolls | 5 Halloween Candy and 5 Halloween Cookies |
| Yellow | 10,000 Abyss Points, 10 Life Crystals | 5 Halloween Candy and 5 Halloween Cookies |
| Blue | 4 Odyle Energy (160 energy), 10 Resurrection Spiritstones | 5 Halloween Candy and 5 Halloween Cookies |
Halloween food
Halloween Candy and Cookies last five minutes and are useful before bosses or Nightmare:
| Food | Effect for 5 min |
|---|---|
| Halloween Candy | Attack +25, Defence +250, Max SP +300, natural SP recovery +40% |
| Halloween Cookie | Max HP +500, Max MP +250, Max SP +300, natural SP recovery +40% |
The food is removed on 4 November. Use it before difficult fights instead of saving it.
Halloween skin shop
The in-game shop also has paid Halloween cosmetics: three armour sets, weapon skins for every class, two pets, spider-shaped wings and head and face accessories. They are available until maintenance on 25 November. These are cosmetic only; the free Spooky Scary Skeleton chest skin from the Special Halloween Chest is also a good collection piece.
Do
- Log in daily: 14 claims give 620 coins
- Complete all ten Event missions each week
- Buy the Special Halloween Chest first
- Buy weekly items after each Wednesday reset

- Do not save candy, cookies or keys; they disappear on 4 November
- Do not spend coins on Power Shards before buying the rest of the shop
- Do not try to buy Odyle Energy below level 45
Common mistakes
- Buying the chest lastSmall purchases use up the coins, leaving you short of 250 before the event ends.
- Skipping a week at the merchantWeekly limits do not stack, so those items are lost.
- Claiming rewards on an altAttendance and missions may already have been claimed by your main character on that server.
- Saving food for laterHalloween Candy and Cookies are removed when the event ends.
Weekly checklist
- Claim the reward in Attendance
- Complete the ten missions in Season Mission → Event
- Buy the weekly items from the merchant
- Run Expedition and Transcendence for key fragments
- Make a Blue key with 60 fragments and open candy in a settlement
The essentials
“Trick or Treat” is straightforward: claim Attendance rewards daily and finish ten weekly Event missions to earn enough for the shop. Buy the Special Halloween Chest first for 10,000 Pet Soul Crystals, then get weekly Odyle Energy and Rift Stones. Turn Expedition and Transcendence fragments into a Blue key. Spend everything before maintenance on 4 November.
