October 23rd 2018 begins the Halloween Event this year. Until November 6th you then can complete 57 quests and receive a lot of rewards for it.

The quests are presented in a new design. This brings a great benefit as with quests offering alternatives you see the related progress of each possibility individually.

Already with the second quest players will have the possibility to decide between fight and negotiation. I really like this and obviously the game designers also like it as they used this 12 times during the quest line, using different difficulty levels.

Already after the 5th quest the milestone reward is the Haunted Tower. We already know this from last year. To improve the attractiveness of this building, all existing and new Haunted Towers received an additional age based supply production bonus in the range of 5% to 8% on top of the existing happiness property.

A second big part of the quest line are these many production quests. 13 times you are asked to produce supplies, 3 of them are optional as you can decide to do something else instead. Only the quests 18 and 44 require productions in buildings of the current or the previous age. All others can be done in these tiny blacksmith buildings. Having 11 of them during the event is a good idea.

The quests are in the usual range of possibilities and pretty much the same as with previous events. They can be completed easily. I finished them in half of the event's duration to be able to complete this video as soon as possible. I was very busy in my job and had to reduce my time for this game significantly. But it still was not a challenge to manage this. Nobody will have to fear these quests.

I will publish another video about fighting and negotiations at the highest difficulty in different ages as this is also relevant for the daily challenges, and not only for this event. Therefore I am not going into the details of this in today's video. What you can see at the moment is a fight against a medium sized army in the Contemporary Era.

We already have Halloween Events since many years and since long you already can win graveyards and related upgrades. To adopt to the very different requirements and expectations of new players and veterans, this year you will not get a small graveyard and an upgrade. Instead you receive two kits where you can chose between receiving a new small graveyard or upgrading an existing graveyard. I still have an Ancient Graveyard from the Postmodern Era in my inventory and upgrade it twice. After the first upgrade it is not only a better graveyard, it also received an automatic renovation to my current age, the Contemporary Era. I only use the second upgrade now to have some material for this video. It is still not the best possible graveyard, but the maximum I can achieve this year. The result remains in my inventory as I currently have enough happiness, but I never have enough building space.

Afterwards the quests are still simple to solve. Only some long supply productions reduce the speed a bit. This is why we just fly over the quests. As always you will find all quests below the video in the first pinned comment.

For completing the 31st quest you will the receive the Laboratory of the mad Scientist. When players received this building for the very first time in November 2015 they were fascinated. It was the very first building being able to theoretically produce 3 forge points every day. Since the InnoGames delivered better and better event buildings and not many players still use this building in their cities. Therefore InnoGames saw the need to improve the building, existing and new laboratories. They now produce 50% more goods every day and there were also some small improvements related to coins and supplies. A great building for new players. Veterans already having many event buildings might see this different as the competition of good event buildings is strong.

The main reward is the Dark Doorway. Many think that it is good to receive a complete building again, without the need to apply between 6 and 9 upgrades to make it complete. And the new building is really worth being the grand prize of an event. On the tiny 3 x 3 floor space it provides 3 forge points every day. This is pure efficiency.

And please take care of yourself, also outside of that game. This is the time of the year when many accidents happen, including that shown here.
