Sweet can't wait to break out the Beggars!
Heads on a Pike are awesome! Love it...
Pumpkins are cool too.
and hey if you don't like the things you can drop it in my Mailbox! GL's right south of Yew gate..... Tram House with the big YEW on it can't miss it.... first clearing to the south.

I'm going to record my begging antics here, hopefully I can get some Odds for you all
Edit: I forgot to add, this will be at GM Begging and I won't be recording the TRICKS, because now they turned Halloween Cloth into a dye tub there's no need to take it slowly; I shall hare about "Nearest Target > Whisper Trick or Treat > Waitfortarg > Current Target" everything to generate as much loot, and data as I can

Not sure what begging level but it does require begging.
The odds are going to be very, very low. I should be able to break 2000 beggings in the next 30 mins or so, and it looks like even at GM the odds are working out around 0.2% of hits for a Head (I've only got 2 so far, MrsTroublemaker below was the second)
And again, whilst I sympathise with those who are a bit queasy about the heads, remember you need to double click them to see the actual art, the in game art is too small and pixellated to be any more horrific than then current in game gore...

Nah you have to take them off the server in some manner to get them to spawn. I use a goat. Put the pumpkins in a bag, once the bag is full feed it to the goat. Some folks use a horde minion, others just recall off and trash them.
They need to be off the subserver to respawn; easiest way is to let a Necromancer Horde Minion scoop them up, and then dismiss him. Apparently Goats eat them too, but I never got that to work...
Greetings all, as it will no doubt be buried in the locked thread, here's the details I've been able to collect about the new drops and their relative rarity.
I'm pretty sure I have all of the candy now. As you can see, the Rock Candy spawns much, much less than normal candy. It also doesn't give the "you could eat as much as you want" message. But it doesn't, as far as I can tell, appear to do anything else. Or does it...?
What are the relative drop rates of all the rewards; the following chart is an approximation. It is what I've ended up with over time, after the Naughty Twin has stolen some candy back again, not counting the other "Tricks!" but giving a percentage of the final loot you get to keep. This is at Grandmaster Begging;
My results are being posted here.
What does it mean for you the collector? I've a total of just over 2000 results at the time of typing this, and if you take the old and new results as a group, the new heads are dropping way, way less than the old... in fact they've been below 0.2% chance that the final result is a dev's head. However if you look at individual drops, they have only dropped once, 3 times individually in those results for me, but the other Skull On A Pike also dropped just once. it's tempting to wonder then if the individual odds are the same as that old reward, and it's just the odds of a Dev-Pike are so low because there's now nearly double the rewards it could be instead.
The patch notes mentioned there were other rewards apart from the heads on a pike. Unless there's something even rarer, or I've just been unlucky, I think they mean the Rock Candy.
These are the 3 artworks I've gained;
It's going to be a pain to grind out a complete set solo then; I did about 2 hours of constant trick or treating to get the results so far. Hope you find this useful, and when I next get stuck in, I'll update the total in the document above!

Where were you trick or treating at? I ran about three and a half to four hours trick or treating last night and did not get a single head on a pike. I did get quite a few of the other special drops tho. GM begging and even went and tossed on a 2k luck suit after the second hour of not getting one...
Do you need GM Begging to get the drop?
Just edited the post, but the patch notes said yes, GM Begging is needed.
As to where... I'm doing laps of Heartwood, with the following EC macro in Pinco:
> Target Nearest Mobile
> Say "Trick or Treat"
> WaitForTarg
> Cursor Target Current
Then just run past all the NPCs and hammer space when within 9 squares, you can cover all of Heartwood in about 1-2 minutes and tag all the NPCs for begging

Damn, I can't count, exhausted from candy-snatching! There are 12 (2x6) normal candy of course, which matches your 25... HONK HONK... I shall change that image

Well... time for me to tell the refugees of Ter Mur goodbye then...
I got head from the refugees, so they do have them.Hmmm... where did you hit to get the heads on a pike? Have only gotten Chair in ghost costume and Guillotine from Refugees... maybe I need to hit a richer neighborhood
oh that just sounds WRONG!!!
as long as trick no longer kills me
...(slowly works up begging skill from 0...lol)
I have cleaned up this thread and removed any posts that were not on topic, including those about what is and isnt "proper" in game. If you have a problem with it, take it up with EA, and keep it out of this thread. I am unlocking it now. Don't make me take your toys away again...
I use the Tokuno city. The buildings have lots of candy givers. You can hit the 2 story and stay in there till you get sent to the gate.

I have to say that content isn't to my taste, so my GM begging is staying stoned while I concentrate on getting pumpkins and the kits to carve them.
Different strokes for different folks

This is so INCREDIBLY COOL! I want one!!! I would pay gold on ATL!The head on spikes are quite gruesome tho lol
But so far what I got ..
Edging towards 3000 begging results now after another hour today, and no more Pikes so far; so the percentages have edged down to 0.1%. Remember, these aren't the odds of the reward on each individual panhandle at GM, but the total of what you end up with after all the begging and candy stealing is done (in other words, it's way too much work to sit and record every single drop as it happens )

Some folks are saying they are getting the heads on a spike at only 80 begging now. I can't confirm because I ain't training it to that level again and I dang sure ain't turning my GM begging down

Plezse note: I had forgotten to put begging on when i started trick/treating....and i received Grim Omens (the gold things) and guillotine. Lucky?
FYI
To those asking if GM Begging is required to get head on pike, webs, grims, and other item. No it is not!
I got my first head on pike today at 68.1.
Webs yesterday at 65 and grim at 67.
Persistance! Bug the living daylights out of npc's. Beware of tricks in Fel though. One sent me to Yew Gate in Fel.

I'd like to know also. Maybe we should have another thread to discuss the spiked heads?I've seen a few so far contained in other threads.
