Considering that we currently have Chapter 2 of the Celestial Arms as well as the user-run Halloween event by Saber and the Trains event by Hirosame, I would like to draw attention to those events and encourage member participation there. In comparison, the official Halloween event this year will be simpler, involving new monster hunts.
The following monsters will be available to be fought in all field locations as rare seasonal mobs.
Make a hunting thread and RP in it at least 5 times to claim a reward. You may do this multiple times (by either making more threads or adding 5 more posts to existing threads) to gain additional rewards each completion. The event AP for participating in these events is 1.1x and the event lasts till 11-6-15 at 11:59 PM PST.
