1 - If you had to take a random stab at it, what ratio chance do you think it is to obtain each of the crystal types? (ie: Blue 75% / Red 20%/ Yellow 5%)

2 - Does it matter what kind of monster you kill to get the essence? Liches seem to drop it like 1 every 7-8 or so.

3 - How come only the Creepy Cake stacks?

4 - I am still not clear on why some Blue NPCs will give treats while others (especially fighters) will not. Any help?

5 - My beggar is getting small webs as special loot, but he only has 66 Begging. Is this a bug? I thought only GMs had a crack at it.

6 - I haven't done the Blue Crystal thing yet. Is this about the size of it: I go find Jarhead or whoever that dude is in monster form, and I start using blues on him, and it's just the luck of the draw if I happen to be #50 applying a crystal to him if I cure him? If so, is there any indication how close he is?

7 - I was collecting Essences in the Shame Mage Tower and I inexplicably turned back into my human form, even though the monster mojo powder had 10 minutes left. Any idea why this happened?

8 - Does luck affect trick or treating at all?

9 - When your Naughty Twin steals candy, how much does he steal? I never really paid attention. Is it one piece? Or several?

10 - Why exactly are the characters crying out in pain randomly? Does anyone know?

1) blue 80%, red 15%, yellow 5%
2) Definitely - ogre lords have that kind of ratio, slimes etc are like 1 residue every 100ish
6) Yep. Nope, no indication (apparently, because on Europa they're all happily cured and seem to have learned the error of their ways so they're not getting sick again. Yays.)
7) If you suffer even a single point of damage, you're back to human (elf, garg).

1 - If you had to take a random stab at it, what ratio chance do you think it is to obtain each of the crystal types? (ie: Blue 75% / Red 20%/ Yellow 5%) blue 65 red 30 yellow 5

2 - Does it matter what kind of monster you kill to get the essence? Liches seem to drop it like 1 every 7-8 or so. I have gotten them off anything from a slime to a balron

3 - How come only the Creepy Cake stacks? NO Idea

4 - I am still not clear on why some Blue NPCs will give treats while others (especially fighters) will not. Any help? some do not have a backpack

5 - My beggar is getting small webs as special loot, but he only has 66 Begging. Is this a bug? I thought only GMs had a crack at it. Haven't trick or treated much but havent gotten one on my 55 beggar yet

6 - I haven't done the Blue Crystal thing yet. Is this about the size of it: I go find Jarhead or whoever that dude is in monster form, and I start using blues on him, and it's just the luck of the draw if I happen to be #50 applying a crystal to him if I cure him? If so, is there any indication how close he is? have to be the one to change it to human to get the robe and theres no indication that i have seen

7 - I was collecting Essences in the Shame Mage Tower and I inexplicably turned back into my human form, even though the monster mojo powder had 10 minutes left. Any idea why this happened? An area affect spell must have hit you or a trap. any damage you take or deal out changes you just re-apply it

8 - Does luck affect trick or treating at all? Do not know this one sorry

9 - When your Naughty Twin steals candy, how much does he steal? I never really paid attention. Is it one piece? Or several? Haven't gotten a twin yet

10 - Why exactly are the characters crying out in pain randomly? Does anyone know?[/quote] No dentists in Brittania, so with all those bad teeth, when you add lots of sugary candy and the like.........

1) somewhere around 60/35/5, at least from the trends
2) seems pretty random, though higher fame creatures do have a better chance. though i have gone a whole sprig of moon grass killing elder gazers and not recieve one, as i also went to a graveyard and got all four from killing the spawn there which was just ghouls and skeletons.
3) dev oversight maybe?
4) might be dev oversight, i know the hairdressers don't give candy, they aren't recognized as npcs...
5) i thought it was 100% would give the highest chance, and lower % have less chance. or could just be that the devs set the special gifts at different skill %
6) no indications, there's guilds that stealth camp the gypsies, etc. just bring fifty or more, and work as fast as you can to cure them. the last one to cure gets the prize.
7) yep any damage reverts back to normal. some monsters will still aggro if you change in front of them
8) very doubtful, luck only ever applies to mob loot.
9) seems random, like 1-3
10) eat a lot of candy you'll yell out randomly. pretty funny.
