Trick or Treating

Description

In Rune Midgard cities, 20 special Drops NPCs are distributing candies ( 1 Halloween Candy Box). You can collect candies on multiple characters and freely share or trade them. Each candy provides buffs lasting 30 minutes, and they can stack except for identical types:

• +2% ATK
• +2% MATK
• +10 HIT
• +10 FLEE
• +4 CRIT
• +20% Passive HP Regeneration
• +10% Passive SP Regeneration

There's a Drops NPC in Payon center to track how many of the twenty NPCs you've found. Keep in mind, if you die, the buffs vanish.

Remember, the event concludes on November 12th. Happy hunting!

The Drops NPC in Payon that helps you track how many Drops you have found.

Additional Notes

• Each Drops NPC will award 1 Halloween Candy Box, which when opened give various candies.

• This like all the Halloween quests can be completed across multiple characters on the same account.
• There does not appear to be an additional prize for finding all 20 Drops NPC's.
