Okay, now that things seem more or less in order, this week we'll have the
Trick or Treat Event run at full points.

Here are the rules:
1) There's an event room west of Arelium where you can start your part in the
Event. Just follow the smoke.

2) One of the three things you can do, every day, is a set of daily
activities, a mix of general activities (such as killing monsters and donating
items in the event room) and guild activities (which are based on the guild,
not your guild level, so it is not just possible but expected that a player
with only 1 level in a guild can get a task for that guild they can't do, yes
that is intentional, if you can't do it just ignore it). The goal is to do
five of your tasks in any one day. These tasks autosave when you complete one
of them, but you may need to return to the event room to start them again if
you quit out. Activities you can complete are in "show effects".
3) You can also, in the event room, "register" eq you have earned with your
name on it in the last three days. Each of the classic stats (such as str,
hpr, or avoid) counts, but only if the item is strong enough compared to your
character power. Note that multislot eq power is dilluted, so for example, a
full plate with +10 str is not all that strong since it has like 15 slots.
Each stat you contribute counts towards the event, and the item is not damaged
or used up -- everyone whose name is on it can register it.
4) During these events, more smoke will rise from mini-areas with, what a
coincidence, monsters you're likely tasked with killing and candy you're
likely tasked with looting. Follow the smoke to find them, too.
5) During the weekend, powerful bosses can be summoned in these mini-areas.
You'll need the correct colour of candles to do it. On weekdays, these nosave
candles are basically tiny weak torches and can be ignored, but you can make a
note of which creatures have which colour candle for later use.

Each of the three things you need to do -- activities, eq, and bosses --
counts separately for event points. You get 10 points for the first of each
you do, and 1 more point for each after that. Right now there is no way to
track your current points except your own records, but I'll likely add it in
the next couple of days.

Prizes can be purchased when the event is over. Yes, you can see them at the
event room, there's some up now and more will be added. The customizable eq
are the 10-point items at the top of the list with weak/no bonuses, and the
10-point scrolls that let you add stronger bonuses, up to twice. So, a
maxxed-out item will cost you 30 points, which if you've been testing the
event, you will find much easier to get. The maximum possible point total is
87 so you can get two maxxed-out items, not three. This is in addition to any
eq you get from boss kills, which is not tradable.
