The event will introduce the ability to unlock a fifth costume slot on any character. To unlock this slot you need to gather one each of the four types of Event Salvage that can be found through "Trick or Treating". You need one each of Statesman Mask, Lord Recluse Helmet, Back Alley Brawler Gloves, and Hamidon costume. All four then need to be brought to the appropriate Halloween contact for the character's game. [[Granny Beldam]] for villains and [[Annah]] for heroes. The contact will then unlock the fifth slot. Note that the devs have said [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=shibboleth&Number=6511204&bodyprev=#Post6511204] that the contacts will remain in the game, so that, while new costume salvage may not be earnable after the event, existing costume salvage may still be turned in after the event is over. | |||

Overview
During this event, players can 'Trick or Treat' by clicking on doors in the various zones. Either a treat is awarded usually in the form of a random inspiration or costume salvage or a trick which will spawn various enemies in your immediate area. Note that currently the event is only active on the Test server. It is expected to activate on Live sontime in October 2006, but the exact event start date is currently unknown.
Temporary Powers
One of the treats was the Rock temporary power. It is a one use, ranged attack that does minor smashing damage. Matt Miller was the developer behind this homage to It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. [1]
Fifth Costume Slot
The event will introduce the ability to unlock a fifth costume slot on any character. To unlock this slot you need to gather one each of the four types of Event Salvage that can be found through "Trick or Treating". You need one each of Statesman Mask, Lord Recluse Helmet, Back Alley Brawler Gloves, and Hamidon costume. All four then need to be brought to the appropriate Halloween contact for the character's game. Granny Beldam for villains and Annah for heroes. The contact will then unlock the fifth slot. Note that the devs have said [2] that the contacts will remain in the game, so that, while new costume salvage may not be earnable after the event, existing costume salvage may still be turned in after the event is over.
