The Hallowed Hunt (Event) + MASSIVE Mobile QoL Improvements!

We're back! Sorry for the wait! Linqx had some health issues that needed to be addressed. We also ran into some issues before that with getting the mobile clients updated and approved. But we're back with a slew of new features, mobile improvements, and bug fixes! Along with our best event: The Hallowed Hunt!

Event Start

11/27/2025 (PST)

Event End

12/18/2025 (PST)

The Hallowed Hunt

Welcome to The Hallowed Hunt! Will you survive? We're thrilled to release our first Halloween event in nearly 7 years! This is certainly our most ambitious event to date, packed with Halloween-themed activities, interesting items, unique affixes, and more!

Hallowed and Bones

Hallowed and Bones are making their debut in the Dominion! We won't spoil too much, but we're thrilled to see how everyone fares against them. Can you find out where they're hiding?

Pumpkin Lord

A familiar yet fiercer ruler of the Dominion has returned to The Void, angrier than ever and ready to wreak havoc.

Trick-or-Treating

Join us in the Tavern every real-life hour for a festive trick-or-treating activity! Collect candy, consumables, essence, and more! Keep an eye out for in-game announcements every hour indicating the start, and follow the shop vendors as they call out the next location!

Dominion Ghost Hunt

Spooky times await! The Dominion is overrun with ghosts, and a global counter will track progress toward spawning the miniboss Ghasty. Team up with fellow adventurers to take down 66 Ghostys and earn a chance to fight Ghasty! After the event, Ghosty and Ghasty will linger in the new player biomes as Oyun and Astake work on banishing them.

Event Tiered Items

We've introduced a new tier: the Event tier. These items will have drop rates between Unique and Special items. We want everyone to have a chance to obtain Event tier items while keeping them rare enough to encourage trading. We're excited to launch 4 of them during The Hallowed Hunt! To make their drops feel extra special, we're also introducing new chests for each event. Old event items will get updated tiers and bag types in the future.

Quest Attainments + Essence Shop

We've heard your event feedback loud and clear! This event will feature easier quests to help you earn every reward at least once. For those who want to grind, Hallowed Essence will drop from every boss throughout the event!

We're also introducing a new Attainment type: The Hallowed Hunt attainment requires you to complete all other event-specific attainments to earn the final rewards—an exclusive “I Survived The Hallowed Hunt” title and three of Typ's Brain roll tokens!

Event Essence Slot

In response to player feedback, we've added an event-specific essence slot! After discovering an event essence, it will automatically be equipped in an event slot. We hope this addresses player's concerns of having to drop stacks of work-in-progress essences!

Halloween-Specific Affixes

The special event tier items will drop with halloween-specific affixes! These will be rollable only during the event and will be removed from the pool afterward. However, items with these affixes will retain them permanently. Look out for their return next Halloween!

Event Gold Shop

As with all events, we're offering limited-time gold shop items for our free-to-play players! Grab a spooky Gladiator skin, a pet version of the Pumpkin Lord, and a batty hat. They're available until The Hallowed Hunt ends, so don't miss out!

Spooky Package Return + New Graveyard and Witch Package

The Spooky Pack is back, and we're also introducing 2 brand packs, the Witch and Graveyard Package featuring amazing artwork by Jmn and Bee! Your support helps us continue this incredible journey together. Thanks a lot if you decide to buy them!

And More!
