Halloween Basket
What TornLife's research has established about Halloween Basket, and the questions players asked about it.
What TornLife has verified
- Baskets are permanent on the account that bought them and need not be repurchased each year. They cannot be traded. Once a player holds a higher basket, a new Spooky cannot be bought. (documented; Halloween Basket : Creepy, )
- Upgrade tiers unlock with baskets: Tier 1 on Spooky, Tier 3 at Shocking, Tier 4 at Horrifying (all upgrades). Nightmarish adds only a higher rate and an honor. (documented; Halloween Basket : Spooky › Historical Notes, )
- The starting basket, Halloween Basket : Spooky (item ID 920), costs $35 at Sally's Sweet Shop during the event. Stock respawns every five minutes (wiki: 1,000 baskets each time). Only one basket per player. It is untradable. (documented; Halloween Basket : Spooky › Historical Notes, )
- The Apocalyptic basket (item ID 1448, Special, circulation 1) is obtained only by upgrading a Nightmarish basket with 9,999 treats to begin the end times; the treats are kept. It is the highest tier and cannot be upgraded further. (documented; Halloween Basket : Apocalyptic, )
- Crystalline Falcata, a melee slashing weapon with 100% Dimensiokinesis Bonus that can harm M'aol without Stygian Darkness, became available from a Halloween basket for 135 treats after M'aol was summoned. It was hidden in the API until 30 October 2024. (documented; Crystalline Falcata › Historical Notes, )
- The Spooky basket originally spawned in batches of 100 every 15 minutes. This was judged too slow and was increased. (documented; Halloween Basket : Spooky › Historical Notes, )
- Baskets upgrade automatically by total treats: Spooky 0, Creepy 5, Freaky 15, Frightful 40, Haunting 90, Shocking 190, Terrifying 440, Horrifying 940, Petrifying 1940, Nightmarish 4440. Apocalyptic is only obtained by summoning M'aol. (documented; Trick or Treat › Baskets, )
- Treat collection boosts by basket: Creepy 5%, Freaky 10%, Haunting 20%, Shocking 25%, Terrifying 30%, Horrifying 35%, Nightmarish 45%. Nightmarish is the highest boost apart from possibly Apocalyptic. (documented; Halloween Basket : Terrifying › Related Awards, )
- Before the Apocalyptic basket was released, Nightmarish was the top basket tier. (documented; Halloween Basket : Nightmarish › Related Awards / Historical Notes, )
- The Apocalyptic basket gives an unknown treat-collection boost, stated to be less than 100%. It is untradable, and a Spooky basket cannot be bought while holding it. (documented; Halloween Basket : Apocalyptic, )
- Patch list #165 (27 Oct 2020) added three spooky honors for reaching Halloween Basket increments. (confirmed by Torn; Patch list #165 : 27/10/20 — changes to Award (2020-10-27), )
