we do need a better idea of where your skeletons spawn, if i go and die 10 times I would like to know with some idea as to the location of my skeleton zombies so I don't have to travel to all the graveyards to try and find my bones?
After i died 10 times in a row i found about 5 of me in each graveyard.

So far it's cool..except I don't see it as any real replay value...I got 4 of my bones a few masks an some candy in like an hr..this is a month long event? Not interested in shiny hues..any invasions or anything like that in the works?

I would like both of the above postings but I can't decide which one is better.

So far, a friend and I have tried the Trick Or Treating; the cloth trick DOES still work, and so far we've got Murky Milk, Guillotine, Skulls On A Pike, Grim Warning and Excellent Iron Maiden, so last years' rewards are at least included. No idea if anything new is in yet...

Well this guy NOOB has zombies ALL over...literally lol and me and BloodGoul have been killing them non-stop and neither of us have gotten NOOB's bones.

Well..It seems you must have way more luck getting your own then. If people are getting others to drop they are rare as I killed numerous others and no bones

I'm not saying I didn't like the event or that I won't do it..I'm just saying personally I didn't want some über awesome item I just thought we'd maybe get an invasion something to set a goal for like the 04 invasion if memory serves right we got te statues at Brit but unfortunate it's just a grind for pixels...

I would like both of the above postings but I can't decide which one is better.
Cute.. I'm mobile I clicked delete and gave the reason as double post..seems it hasn't been deleted yet

What is the cloth trick? (need to farm trick or treat for turn-in points) ;)

i have received a red and black set of bones along with pink, blue, white, green.

As for the cloth, put on clothes that you can cut up with scissors. when you change color so with your clothes. All you have to do is use scissors on the clothes to get the cloth.

I like how the idea of giving candy to angry protestor works:

"I thank you for the thought, but what would i do with this?"

:D

Cloth trick does not work on Lake Austin as far as I can tell. As long as the clothing is "colored" it says scissors can not be used on that. Once the coloring wears off, cuts up just fine.

Man no new trick or treat stuffs? That would be the second year in a row with no new trick or treat items. Halloween is THE begger holiday (both thematically and for those who have the skill GMed) sucks if there's no new additions.

Hopefully its jut not been found yet.

Not able to test this yet --- but have you tried using the "salvage bag" to get the special hued cloth? :)

At my age I steer clear of bones -- particularly my own -- but it's neat collecting the candy and beggar goodies! :)

Lol, I feel stupid now. Didn't realize I was hitting Start UO Game instead of Start UO Patcher from Pinco's UI Patcher menu.

Patching now, should fix it!

Is it just me, or do the pumpkins seem to be spawning VERY slowly this year even when you correctly pull them off the server.

Yes Kylie, I was on my necro using my little minion and dispelling and they spawn VERY slow indeed...and the killer pumpkins don't seem to spawn as often.

Also my begging is only at 70.1, I thought I'd gotten it higher! :( but I'm hoping I can get it GM by the end of the month :/

Aside from the bones, is there anything new that drops with this year's Halloween whether with the Trick or Treat or killing Skeletons/Zombies in the Graveyards ?

Thanks.
Not sure if someone already mentioned this one, but I got an orange (maybe fire?) hued small web from trick or treating. Same graphic as previous years, just different color.

Orange and black webs are also from two years back. :(

Sorry, was busy all day yesterday with content; Now I see where the rumours which made it to UOGuide too that you couldn't get the cloth again came from. Yes, you're all doing it wrong, they fixed the scissors last year, but you put the cloth into the Salvage Bag and recycle it that way, which was how to get it most recently. Use a robe and GM-120 Tailor to get the maximum return of 8 pieces of two-tone Halloween cloth.

So far I've not gotten anything from Begging that wasn't available last year. The new content seems to be the new pumpkin masks and the skeletons. One little tip, if you've got a vendor they are containers so can be put on for free; share the karma and share the bones!

I give all the normal colored ones to players for free, however, I have found some awesome dual toned ones (red and black), those are for keeps unless i see $$$, just because they are so cool looking.

Only ones I can think of are the light green version of the places you have marked. For the most part they are empty as heck. Folks skerrid of reds I reckon :)

So now that I am getting my 8 pieces at a time. Can they be combined (either on their own or by me)? Or will I just have multiple stacks of 8 in similar colors?

I don't want to try and lose any. :)

The only way I found them to be stackable is when the hue is exactly the same. Long shot, but happens on occasion.

Yup, you can Combine Cloth via Tailoring to make them all the same type in one go, and then stack them in a container, but there's a HUGE range of Halloween colours, I've heard 250+ plus? I've got to 56 so far, with 4 or so duplicating. One of them was from this year, so the colours will stack to previous years, indicating at least some of the range is the same.

Nimauq has spent a while writing a macro for the EC which allows you to pull the colour Hue from an item, and it seems the Halloween Cloths are using the Metallic Dye colours. This means there are a maximum of 156 colours, as shown here.
