Harvest Masquerade

The Harvest Masquerade is the annual celebration of Fall and takes place in late October, overlapping Halloween and extending into early November. Each year, the Harvest Masquerade will vary slightly, changing locations, challenges, and reward items.

The Harvest Masquerade of 2025

The very first Harvest Masquerade after the flood took place in October 2025. Players explored a new temporary dungeon space, called the Spider Tunnels (formerly known as Covetous 1 and Covetous 2). The Spider Tunnels were accessed through the homestead community called the East Guard.

Players could collect terathan silk to create Halloween costumes from a costume sewing kit (available during the event from the Costumer NPC). Based on the player’s costume quality (“random luck”), they received a prize including: turnips, halloween candy, pumpkin pizza, Hallowing throwing pies, short pumpkins, tall pumpkins, or a pumpkin scarecrow.

Later on, players had the opportunity to trade their pumpkins with Lizzy Zar from Desolation, or Kilo from Rat’s Hollow to receive a pumpkin carving kit. Players could use this kit on their pumpkins to create a Jack-o’-lantern.
