====Loot Filled Ghostships Threaten the Kingdom====
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 1 ====
The cooler weather and spooky season has brought with it the return of ghostships sailing above the Kingdom! This year, however, the fleet is led by a scoundrel known as Admiral Arrrgh.
+
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
The ethereal ships cannot be harmed by conventional means. In order to inflict enough damage to ground the ship and loot its hold for treasure, you'll need to first visit one of several haunted locations throughout the Kingdom to collect Ghastly Galleon Gouda which will in turn attract Halloween mice that drop Ethereal Cannonballs to fire at the ships!
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 2 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
There are ghostships flying above several regions in the Kingdom. Once you have your hands on some cannonballs, you can fire them from your Camp to inflict damage on the ghostships equal to the point value of the mice you capture. Do enough damage to bring down the ship and loot its hold!
+
==== PARAGRAPH HEADER 3 ====
 +
CONTENT OF PARAGRAPH
  
====Inflicting Double Damage with Ghostfire Cannonballs====
+
-- {{MHP|POSTER SNUID|POSTER NAME}}
With the appearance of Admiral Arrrgh has also come a new high-powered type of cannonball. Collect Ghostfire Cannonballs by hunting either Admiral Arrrgh or Captain Cannonball using Lockbox Limburger Cheese, which you'll find when looting any ghostship.
 
  
Arm your cannon with Ghostfire Cannonballs to inflict DOUBLE damage against any ghostship! These cannonballs can be a bit scarce, so make each shot count by capturing high-point value mice!
+

====Ghoulishly Good Rewards====
+
</blockquote> -->
Shooting down a ghostship will have it crash into the ground, allowing you to loot its cargo hold for valuable treasure! You'll find different treasure in each ghostship depending on which region the ship is located in.

Throughout the event you'll also find familiar Spooky Charms. However, their stats and effect have been altered by the arrival of Admiral Arrrgh. Spooky Charms now have slightly better stats, especially when paired with any Halloween trap. All Spooky Charms also have a chance to transform into a spookier version with each hunt. With a little ghostly luck, you may even find Ultimate Spooky Charms with an impressive +20 Luck!

====Burroughs Adventure Overhaul====
+
-- {{MHP|502041253|Dave Vanderburg}}
In other spooky news, Mousevina von Vermin has now taken up a permanent resting place within the Mousoleum. Master level hunters working through the ranks will have to slay Mousevina to find their way beyond the Burroughs and into Furoma.
 
  
The zombies in the Mousoleum have become even more ravenous, now requiring a barricade to be built to hold them at bay and allow hunters to hunt the more lucractive vampire breeds using a new craftable Crimson Cheese.
+
----
  
The previous adventures "Find a Way Out of the Laboratory" and "Survive the Mousoleum" have been both replaced with "Slay Mousevina von Vermin". Any hunters who already completed the Survive the Mousoleum adventure have automatically been granted completion of the adventure to Slay Mousevina von Vermin.

Finally, several adventures have had the amount of title progression they reward upon completion boosted. We are currently in the process of rewarding hunters who have already completed these affected adventures with the additional title progression, meaning you may see your title increase slightly as we reward you with this additional progression.

If you're curious to check out the new challenges in the Laboratory and Mousoleum but are also eager to take aim at Halloween Ghostships, fear not! A ghostship has appeared in the Burroughs region.
