One of the treats is 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. [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=general&Number=1646253]

== Free Costume Slot ==
 
The event introduced the ability to unlock a free costume slot on any character. Which slot it opens depends on how many costume slots you have already unlocked. Costume slots are awarded incrementally...a level 1 will be awarded their second slot, while a level 50 with all four previous costume slots unlocked will unlock a fifth. This reward did not include a free costume change token; unless you have free costume change tokens left over from previous awards, you will have to pay normal [[influence]] or [[infamy]] costs to change the costume in this new slot.
 
To unlock this slot a player needed to gather one each of the four types of [[Event_Salvage#Halloween_Event_Salvage|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 free slot.  Note that the devs have said [http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showflat.php?Number=6511204#Post6511204] that the contacts will remain in the game, so that, while new costume salvage cannot be earned after the event, existing costume salvage may still be turned in.  There was a 35% chance of any Treat being a piece of event salvage, with even chances for which of the four types of event salvage is received.
 
== Event Salvage ==
 
=== Back Alley Brawler Halloween Gloves ===

'''Event Salvage'''
 
These are rubber Back Alley Brawler gloves, perfect for a Halloween costume. Their manufacture makes it difficult to perform simple tasks like opening doors. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.

=== Statesman Halloween Mask ===
[[Image:Salvage StatesmanMask.png|left]] [[Image:Statesmask.png|100px|thumb]]
'''Event Salvage'''
 
This is a Halloween mask of the famous hero Statesman. It's made of cheap plastic, and the flimsy string probably won't last through the night. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.

=== Lord Recluse Halloween Helmet ===
 
[[Image:Salvage RecluseMask.png|left]]
'''Event Salvage'''
 
This is a Halloween mask of the infamous Lord Recluse. It's made of smelly rubber, and wearing it makes you all sweaty and hard to find your breath. Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.

=== Hamidon Halloween Costume ===
 
[[Image:Salvage HamidonCostume.png|left]]
'''Event Salvage'''
 
The most popular Halloween costume among the kids in Paragon City is that of Hamidon. This simple costume is made from coloured plastic wrap. Many kids like to put action figures of their favourite heroes inside the wrap, pretending they are 'raiding' for 'Hami-O's' Heroes can take this to Annah in Croatoa, while villains can take this to Granny Beldam in Nerva, for a reward.

:20 - 50 [[Siren's Call]]
:30 - 50 [[Warburg]]

=== Fir Bolg ===
 
[[Fir Bolg]] can also be found in [[Croatoa]] at the present. '''Note''' that there is '''no''' badge for defeating them.

=== Eochai and Jack in Irons ===
There was a zone spawn of either Eochai or Jack in Irons in every zone in which the event is active.  Once one is defeated, another of the two would spawn in the same zone within a minute or two.  For each spawn, there was a 90% chance that it would be Eochai, and a 10% chance that it would be Jack in Irons.  Additionally, Jack in Irons only spawned in level 20 and up zones.

  • note: Costumes dropped independent of event salvage, you can get both at once.
  • Costumes ignore gender, guys can become female carnies, girls, freakshow.
  • Costumes stay around for 13 days after getting them, then they are gone.
  • While similar to freakshow and arachnos costumes, these DO NOT grant stealth or invis. Mobs will attack ppl wearing these costumes, even if its a costume of their mob.
  • Badges for this event (the ones added this yr, do not have bars yet, but appear between the consignment house badges and the original Winter ones.

Temporary Powers

One of the treats is 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]

Power

Ranged Smashing Damage

You got a rock.

Free Costume Slot

The event introduced the ability to unlock a free costume slot on any character. Which slot it opens depends on how many costume slots you have already unlocked. Costume slots are awarded incrementally...a level 1 will be awarded their second slot, while a level 50 with all four previous costume slots unlocked will unlock a fifth. This reward did not include a free costume change token; unless you have free costume change tokens left over from previous awards, you will have to pay normal influence or infamy costs to change the costume in this new slot.

To unlock this slot a player needed 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 free slot. Note that the devs have said [2] that the contacts will remain in the game, so that, while new costume salvage cannot be earned after the event, existing costume salvage may still be turned in. There was a 35% chance of any Treat being a piece of event salvage, with even chances for which of the four types of event salvage is received.
