Halloween Trick or Treat Guide

Getting a Basket:
You must first buy a basket from Sally's Sweet Shop, found in the city, for $35. These restock 1,000 baskets every 15 minutes, so if you didn't get one yet, and it's sold out, just keep waiting and refreshing. If you've already purchased your 100 item city limit for the day, you'll still be able to purchase the basket. HOWEVER, if you buy the basket first, it will count toward your daily limit. Because of this, I recommend hitting your daily city purchase limit and then acquiring a basket.
Note: You must be level 5 to buy the basket.

Earning Treats:
Any attack on any player can reward a treat. The default chance to loot candy from the first basket starts pretty low. This is improved by various basket upgrades as well as wearing "Spooky" clothing and having the finishing hit from a "Spooky" weapon (Assuming you have "I See Dead People" and "Here's Johnny!" unlocked on your basket).

Medieval Helmet
Witch's Hat

Leveling up your Basket:
Your basket will "level up" to the next basket level automatically the next time you collect a treat from an attack after you've collected the required amount of treats. It doesn't consume your treats to level up your basket. Each basket level improves the chance of looting candy by 5% per level (Up to +45% at Nightmarish).


Basket Levels:

Image	Name	Treat Cost	Total
Load image	Spooky	0	0
Load image	Creepy	5	5
Load image	Freaky	10	15
Load image	Frightful	25	40
Load image	Haunting	50	90

Load image	Horrifying	500	940

Upgrading your basket:
You can upgrade your basket to provide additional perks like higher drop chances, improved candy rewards, etc. It does consume your treats to unlock additional basket perks. You can do this by finding your basket under "Special Items", and clicking the "Use Item" next to your basket.

NOTE: The top two rows (Spooky and Creepy) should be green (Use Revitalize) because you mathematically can't get the spooky weapons and clothes upgrades before unlocking that basket.

 

Correct, not until you unlock those perks

> Furthermore, the nature of some upgrades means that some known Trick or Treat strategies from previous years will no longer work unless you have the right upgrades.

From the newspaper ^ You have to unlock the upgrades before the clothing and final hits apply the extra bonus

The sub text does say "Probably..." so you might be right. I won't be the first one to try it though. xD We'll have to wait and see for people to get that far first though!

Yep. So with all said and done, once you have the last basket and all the upgrades, you should have a 100% chance to get candy
