That's a nice spot for them
Did you raise the ones on the right up from the floor below to get them there?
TY Always wanted to know how to do that.
Ahh I'm thinking of the more useful way of that; Lock the item down, use the ladder, stand at the top, then start raising it with the deco tool... you'll find it's now no longer limited to the floor plan, so you can raise it up as high as you like... notice the Bells on the Tower Of Cow top centre, they've gone 3 floors and are mounted on the outside. In the gap middle left you can see fish trophies also raised from the floor to just along the edge of the second. I was wondering if you'd done it from below to get it along the edges there ... I've not placed mine yet so I don't know if they'd align if raised from below.
Look at post #153 with the carved pumpkins on the outside walls (south and east).
Hm I'm at 86.4 skill. I got an alacrity and I only got two gains within 15 minutes, lol. I guess alacrity is a waste of time since they fixed how they work with trans. Spent about 30 minutes trick or treating and didn't get anything but candy. Debating as to whether I keep trying or gain more begging.A friend created new char with 50 begging. She got her first pike at 55 I think. She was so excited she couldn't believe it.
Hey, just wondering, how are you trick or treating?

There are 11
But yes, it's not that bad if you're really grinding them out quickly; but doing it the old fashioned way is likely to be exceptionally hard. Half way to duplicating the results with a luck suit so far, not sure yet if it makes a difference...
Sometimes I've messed with a single text macro and supplied the target, sometimes I've used a target next mobile macro on the run...mostly focusing on Ter Mur refugees, did some elves in heartwood. I got two water pitchers acquired from begging while using begging skill on the gold npc near Ter Mur gate...and that one, old pike graphic off...I don't know. I think a refugee, but hard to say.
((i can not tell what the first pumpkin is. What is it?))
Important Information, as you can see from the data it looks like Luck DOES play a part in the drops. I don't have identical data quite yet, but with 4000 odd results with a basic luck suit, I'm getting close to double the number of heads so far. So I would suggest you put on your own suits, the higher the better, when Trick Or Treating yourself.
And for those asking, you say "Trick Or Treat" but it tests against your begging skill. You don't use Begging directly however, except to raise the skill.

It's a demon face, facing toward the left.
Treasurers of Tokuno is not active has not been posted as such. These Halloween events have been. No offense but I didn't think it was That confusing. *Chuckles* I think we can thank the twitter mentality for the obsession of haste, shorthand and abbreviations. Cuz hey, Who has time to type 10 more letters......

Feel free to copy and paste
Thank you for all your hard work. I think it's about time I make a new suit for my thief (beggar) anyhow, hehe.
I personally think now they fixed spawning Dev's Head in a secret way . Got my last head Sunday night short after Midnight, than went to bed and go on trick'n treating the whole sunday. Nothing! Tried with Luck in normal rounds in heartwood and the other, seamly more simplier way to get the heads - Nothing until now!
So what is happend? Some here who have made the same experience?

P.S. This is my first post on Stratics Forum and normally i do not speak english, so excuse me if i used wrong words

Seems like a very slow process. I probably haven't trick or treated longer than three hours at this point in total and have two skulls on pike (old ones) thingies. Currently at 90.7 begging now. With Evil Twin thefts considered, I have about 40-50 of all candies (except rock candies)...so maybe I've done, I'm not sure, 600 or so trick or treats at this point? lol I suppose I just dont have the patience
Actually, if I'm reading things right regarding Adol's data, I suppose two Skulls on Pike in 600 is actually very lucky. 50 reward points each for those ;P.
Oh yes, getting theses heads consider people with strong or better with no nerves *G*. This morning i felt so scared with this zombie eyes looking out of the mirror in the bathroom and wonders which ones are them... and than noticed that they were my ownlol I suppose I just dont have the patience
I feel completely with you, G.v.P. - but it also seems that Bleak must love me *G*. An hour after my posting here this morning (this night *G*) i got finally the 5th Bleaks Head
- so i felt a bit better than. Wish i also play on Legends (my shard is Drachenfels) - you surely got one of my double Bleaks Head as gift.I appreciate all the dev work done & the spikes are truly creepy. I just wish it was a little bit more fun. That a gm beggar not using any tricks could get more than one spike per day. Or I could trade in the many old items I do get for a spike.
I know players with less than gm have gotten spikes, in fact more than my gm has. I do not mind that. Just let the gms get them too please?

Well a little off topic but I think they could have made the whole trick-or-treat experience a lot better with a little bit of thought and dev time.
1) There are halloween costumes, polymorph, bloody sashes, fishing poles, etc that let the user actually put on a costume. I think if you're wearing a costume you should have improved odds of getting a special drop (or at least getting more candy)! Or maybe different costumes give a chance at a treat unique to that costume. I know if someone shows up on my doorstep in street clothes on Hallowe'en, they ain't getting the good candy!
2) Put some truly rare and amazing items up for grabs
3) Let us go trick or treating in dangerous spots like evil mages, or ancient liches....treat - you might get something truly awesome, trick - they might just kill you, or turn you into a newt, or even hit you with temporary stat loss or something
4) Make the NPCs in different towns have themed treats so that there's a reason to travel the whole world.
Oh well, that's just my two cents, and I know it takes dev time, but this is going on for a month, why not make it more fun, and less of a rinse-and-repeat experience - and yes, I actually have put on some of my hallowe'en costumes in game for the trick or treating - just seemed in the spirit. Speaking of which, why are there are no new costumes available for clean-up point turn-in?! Grrrr..I love those things.

*rubs eyes* Ok, I've brought the two data sets into closer accord now, out of 7494 results without luck it ended up as 0.11 were Heads, and for 7861 results with 1011 Luck it turned out to be .14... I can't be certain, as that low you'd only expect 7 or so heads, which isn't a huge data set; I ended up with 8/7494 and 11/7861, so 3 more using luck. So again, whilst that could be within the normal random range with such long odds, I'd suggest you use Luck when begging, just in case!
None, just use your begging skill and start to beg on placec with a lot of NPC
Or better yet, beg and then Trick or Treat - get gold/begging items and your candy/hallowe'en treats from each NPC.Don't beg just say trick or treat with GM begging char
I don't know where people are getting these odds, but I got two heads within the first 100-200 trick or treats and have done about 3000+ since and havn't got any. I have gone to almost every city in the game and nothing seems to matter.
The odds of getting a head on a spike are very small, and the rng has it's issues. People are getting thier odds by taking many thousands of attempts and doing the math and getting close. No need to go far and wide though, you can in theory stand in front of the same NPC and t-r-t- every 60 seconds all day long, you will eventually get all the top end stuff from it.
Click any of the coloured texts in my previous posts for my data. I used Heartwood as every NPC inside will allow you to Trick or Treat; Cove looks like it would be nice but half the people there are unseasonal grumps alas. Then it's just a question of grinding it out, Nyses is correct about doing many thousands...
Not to be a math stickler here (It was my WORST subject in school) but if you have 2,000 beggings and got 2 heads, that's .001%. Or am I doing the math wrong.
That's correct, although 2000 attempts could be just an hour a day for a week, so not quite as bad as it seems at first.
you are both close. The 2 out of 2000 = .1% or .001. 2/2000 = .001 but 1% of 2000 = 20, so .01% of 2000 = .1% Key is that the % sign is equal to, two decimal places.

Your maths are off a bit
Percentage is (individual value) divided by (total figure) multiplied by 100. The document I made, to save time, was calculating that automatically, so for instance the actual typing in square C5 is"=(B5/D4)*100"
Which pulls the data entered 1 square to the left (for Nougat Swirl), divides it into the data at D4 under Total Scrounge Success (which in turn totals all the data under column B) and multiplies it by 100. So all I do is dump the candy and items into one box, and type the totals I see there into Column B and the rest of the form calculates figures and percentages for me.
In your example, you only divided 2 by 2000 to get 0.001, but that's not the percentage as it's not been converted to being a share of 100 yet.
And this is why when I started college at 30, they "recommended" that I drop Algebra 101 and take a "refresher" course for no credit so I could take Algebra 101 later. And when my middle school-aged son could finish the problems before I finished writing the problems down, I disowned him.

I didn't notice the percent symbol, without which the statement is of course correct.
Next year I would like to be able to trick or treat, and get Halloween candy or items off of monsters.
I would like to see the Halloween candy like this off of monsters
slimy jelly beans
monster drooled all over lollipops.
