GM has received two deeds for pumpkin, two trays of candied apples, 9 trays of cider and 14 wagon lamps.
Care to share where you are trick or treating most? I am starting to think Ter Mur Refugees just carry what I am finding. Nothing else. Should I be trying gypsy camps for gypsy wagons?

I got 2000 stones of candy, and nearly 50 of the old crap, nothing new, no skulls, not even heads on a spike or nothing,

I've gotten all four of the new items (Giant Pumpkin Deed, Tray of Apples, Tray of Cider, Gypsy Wagon lamp) from the refugees, along with a head on a pike. And lot's of candy. Haven't gotten an Iron Maiden yet though. Those look cool.

Gm Begging, ~2200 base luck.

There is one on Catskills near the Gargoyle City. The Zombie got stuck at the moongate spamming "Trick or Treat" non-stop for over an hour... and then of course nothing when I paged. They are back at it again this morning.
Now now, don't ruin this thread with claims of cheating. Don't you know this Trick or Treat thing is on the up and up ? I'm enjoying reading how people have 50 of everything, and 10k tons of candy already , and also jobs, and sleep time etc....I really really love these types of threads.

If you're using the EC with Pinco's, and you don't want/need to beg as well, the macro is even simpler:

Target Nearest Friendly (only targets blue, yellow and green names)
Say/Whisper Trick or Treat (whisper it to look mysterious)
Wait for Target
Cursor Target Current

You can perform run-by TorTing with this macro.

Psst, @Dot_Warner , you don't even need Pinco's. This works just fine in default EC.

You can dye the giant pumpkin deeds with natural dyes (but not cleanup dyes). They look like they've been dipped in paint. o_O

So using that method, doesn't say "Trick or Treat" over and over to the same Nearset Mobile ? Someohow your macro only does it once and then waits for a different mobile ? *eagerly awaits your response*

You have to run from mobile to mobile... you can't trick or treat the same one it won't have any candy again for awhile.

I"m sick of this RNG BS...every time I get tricked its the ridiculous Naught Twin giggling hysterically as he tps me each and every damn time. I"m sick of it. I call shenanigans on this RNG fairy tale. I"m one of those that firmly believes there's something in the code that's account related. I've never gotten a Doom drop, I never get a Mesanna named item, i've never got a devs head on a stick...yada yada yada..but the same ppl continue to get the same goods, year in and year out...piss on it, I'm done.

im getting stone walled on the gypsy wagon so far.
It's because you want it... Murphys law and all... You have to say outloud "Last thing I want is that stupid Gypsy Wagon!" And then you will get 10 of them.

I have to say I fall in the horrid RNG Category I have put in 14 hours now since the 1st of October.

I have not got a single new item from this years list. I did get 22 grim omens, 15 small black web and 10 orange webs, multiple of each head on a stick, and 3-4 of each of last years skulls. Lots of candy and sore fingers. GO UO!

It has been about a month since I last logged into the game, so I haven't done any trick or treating (and maybe that means I'm out of line and have no right to express dissatisfaction); but considering how many years I held on to the hope we might be given real Gypsy wagons for players, the lamp is a disappointment. Just saying....

I'm usually pretty critical of the art but I gotta say I think these ToT items look pretty good. I'm happy with them. The pumpkin is too large to actually be useful but it looks pretty good :)

so i got bored and wanted to test a couple things.
took my begging off my guy and went out with 0 begging.
ToT'd 450 times and got 0 items other than the normal candy.

than i went and racked up my begging to 55 and ToT'd 450 times and got 0 items.

ill try them both again to get the numbers up to 1000 for each. (gotta love days off when the kids are in school!)

Well I do have GM begging and I can assure you I'm doing much better than that. Not too interested in spending a large amount of time testing with 0 begging though.

OMG! I know what you mean! At least when we get to something it's exactly perfect lol. Hope you don't sample 1001 or you'll have to run it up to 2000 ;) I'm fairly mild as my thing is symmetry. But symmetry is really important!!!! lol My kids use to move things in the house like 1/2" and I'd catch it every time. But numbers can have symmetry too. I like to buy rares in pairs to balance the room they're in. Gets expensive :p Everyone torments me!!! *Shakes fist in air*
