Throne and Liberty: Spooktacular Halloween event, Haunted Harvest, begins October 24

MMORPGs are no strangers to seasonal events, and it seems that the recently released Throne and Liberty from NCSoft and Amazon Games is no exception. From October 24, Halloween will very much come to Solisium. 

The Haunted Harvest event is set to run from October 24 until November 13, so you’ll have plenty of time to dive in and experience absolutely everything on offer. Here’s the official trailer for the event:

The sheer amount of Halloween-themed things on display in the trailer can be a little overwhelming, but don’t worry, let’s take a look at everything that will be available to try during the Haunted Harvest event. 

Get scared by event duties and tasks

It is an event-only Dungeon, home to a giant Jack-o’-lantern with murderous intentions. In the trailer, you can see a player shapeshifting into a pumpkin to roll around obstacles and AOEs. According to the official post from Throne and Liberty, we’ll be defeating fiendish pumpkins and devouring Candy Corn for a chance to win rewards such as cosmetics, buffs, and Ornate Coins. 

You’ll also get Dimension Pumpkins, a special item that can be exchanged for spoils at event merchants, including:

• Ghastly Gourd cosmetic
• Jack-o’-lantern Izzy Amitoi
• Hallow-Knight shapeshift

Speaking of event merchants, they’ll be located in special event villages, specifically added to the map in celebration of the spooky season. Candy Corn will be the main currency during the event, and you’ll not only earn it through participating in themed tasks such as greeting costumed villagers but they will also be rewarded for daily login. 

If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to get the Phantom’s Prank buff, which increases both Sollant and experience gain. 

Go fishing for gummies

During the event, you’ll be able to fish in various spots around Solisium in the hopes of reeling in a range of gummy fish. Each fish comes with buffs that last 15 minutes:

• Red, Yellow, or Blue Gummy Fish
  • Increased movement and attack speeds
• Pumpkin Taffy
  • Increased boss hit rate
  • Damage boost against undead and demon enemies
  • Damage resistance against undead and demon enemies

Cooking up a fright

There will also be new recipes available to cook, both of which come with their own useful 15-minute perks when consumed:

• Spooky Pumpkin Pie
  • Increased mastery gain
  • Increased abyss consumption efficiency
• Choco-Spider Cookie
  • Increased critical hit chance and damage

Special Shop gets haunting additions

One of the standout items from the trailer is the Grin Reaper outfit, complete with a backlit pumpkin-face mask. This item will be available in the Special Shop as part of the Wicked Enchanter bundle, the cost of which has not yet been revealed. 

There will also be other cosmetics available for purchase, including the skeleton outfit and witches hat on display in the trailer. Further cosmetics will become available when the new Battle Pass begins, carrying the theme of “Phantom Assassin’s Star”. 

Overall, this looks like an incredible first seasonal event for Throne and Liberty. As a long-time MMO player, this has left me slightly overwhelmed with the amount of things to do, and I can’t wait to dive in and experience the first-ever Solisium Halloween. See you there, if you dare!
