Items being sold on vendor 2 months before event goes live??

I've been away awhile and was just walking around and window shopping. I came across a few items on a vendor I liked and googled them just to see how you get them (is it a quest, it is kill something?) just to check before I paid millions for them. Anyway...

The items on the vendor are supposed to come from the Halloween Event that hasn't gone live yet. It's slated to start October 1st, 2017 - so is it (the event) already running? And if not, how are the items already being sold and how were they obtained if the event hasn't started yet? Thanks in advance for answers.

I assume this is because the turn in rewards are already available on the list, and the points from the Doom and Kotl events count towards those as well. So anyone with extra points is able to redeem foe them early.

The points from the previous Kotl one carried over (Intentionally).

I think its lame personally. Wish the NPC's hadn't been available until it actually started.

The upcoming Halloween content is slated to take place in the Sorcerer's Dungeon in Ilsh. It will work the same as the Doom event and Kotl City event where you kill mobs to get drops to turn in for goodies.

IF you had points or items left over from either of the aforementioned events, when they turned on the 20th Anny Arc, the turn-in NPC for the Sorcerer's dungeon items was also put in place...SO if you had points, you turn them in and get Halloween stuff in August!

Ah, so doom drops can count towards this one too?

Thank you all !!
Yep!

I don't think they MEANT to put the NPC there....but since it was being tested on TC for awhile, when the publish went live, of course people are gonna go check out stuff that was on TC and lo and behold the npc was there on live shards....a bit of an oopsy on the Dev's part I think but it doesn't do anyone any harm..and personally I would like Halloween to be a year round thing ;)

I only have 27 points so unfortunately have to wait until October to get my Jack's Bag o Tricks :(
