=== Halloween Trick AND Treat Event! ===
 
''{{date|20|October|2010}}''
 
 
<blockquote>
 
<blockquote>
<p>Attention all MouseHunters!</p>
 
  
<p>An insane mouse has proclaimed itself to be the King of Halloween and has setup a spooky obstacle to protect itself from hunters! The King needs your help to explore this new haunted area and track down the pesky mouse at the heart of it all!</p>
+
==== Write the Mythweaver's finale at the Conclusion Cliffs! ====
 +
After months of Fighting the Blight and Riding the Rapids, the brave and resilient MouseHunters of Gnawnia have finally discovered the final step in the Mythweaver's ultimate plan.
  
<p>In order to fully explore the Haunted Terrortories of Gnawnia, you'll need plenty of Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. You can collect these two new types of cheese by visiting up to 10 of your friends' hunter profiles a day to go Trick-or-Treating. Just click the "Trick-or-Treat" button to discover if your friend decided to trick, or treat you! You'll receive Ghoulgonzola for a trick, and Candy Corn Cheese for a treat. You can also collect both of these flavours of cheese by hunting mutated or Hollowhead mice at the Haunted Terrortories.</p>
+
The Mythweaver is making his last stand at the peak of the '''Conclusion Cliffs''' overlooking the Kingdom.
  
<p>During the Halloween event Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn cheese carry a very high attraction rate in not only the Haunted Terrortories, but many other hunting locations in the Kingdom. Their ability to attract mice is closely tied to the magic of the Haunted Terroroties, meaning they will be slightly less powerful when the Halloween event ends.</p>
+
The King is calling upon all hunters ranked '''Viceroy and above''' to ascend to that great precipice with their trusty droids and conclude the Mythweaver's story once and for all!
  
<p>When you arrive at the Haunted Terrortories you'll notice two new progress bars on your heads-up-display. These progress bars are filled by catching mice using Ghoulgonzola and Candy Corn Cheese. Trick AND treat enough mice to fill both bars in your current location to attract mice from the next! You TRICK mice using Ghoulgonzola and TREAT them with Candy Corn Cheese.</p>
+
==== The Folklore Forest Ends Here ====
 +
If you haven't already picked up the '''Mythweaver's Guide to World Domination''' then visit the '''Draconic Depths Cartographer''' to purchase it for 2,000 Dragon's Breath Opals and 1,000,000 Gold.
  
<p>You'll have to trick and treat your way through the Corn Maze, into the Haunted Manor and finally to the Pumpkin Patch where the Trick, Treat and Gourdborg mice await you!</p>
+
Owning this book will unlock access to the Afterword Acres, Epilogue Falls, and Conclusion Cliffs.
  
<p>What sort of haunted loot waits for you at the end of your journey? With a little farming knowledge, an evil pumpkin seed from the Gourdborg mouse can be used to create a spooky (and shadowy) limited edition trap that will let you hunt with fearsome Halloween style! Rumor even has it that with some creative crafting an even more fearsome trap can be constructed...</p>
+
==== Every Good Story Needs a Hook ====
 +
Use the '''Plot Hooks''' you earned in the Epilogue Falls to craft '''Plotting Paneer Cheese''' which will be essential to thwarting the Mythweaver's final plan.
  
<p>There's more Halloween fun yet! Gifting is up and running and features a limited edition Pumpkin Treat Basket to celebrate Halloween! Who knows what treats could be inside?</p>
+
This pivotal and powerful cheese can be purchased in the Cheese Shoppe at the Conclusion Cliffs or crafted from the area's Heads Up Display.
  
<p>Let the trick-or-treating begin! Have fun and happy haunting MouseHunters!</p>
+
With Plotting Paneer armed, your droids will have what they need to start writing a conclusion to the Mythweaver's story.

In order to find the Mythweaver in his final form, you'll need to establish yourself as a successful writer by raising your '''Notoriety''' in all the major literary genres.

<p>The Digby Cleaning Crew has finished cleaning up the horrible mess caused in the laboratory, especially with the help of those hunters who stopped over to lend a hand!</p>

Once your Notoriety is high enough, you'll be capable of writing the most awe-inspiring genre of all: '''Fantasy'''.

Fantasy is the only genre powerful enough to attract the '''Ultimate Mythweaver''' himself!
