RMK Halloween: The Pumpkin Prince 2

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: The Pumpkin Prince is a noble vampire. No one really knows how old he truly is, but it seems he lost the joy for living a long time ago, except on one night a year, October 31st, when he is "born" once more in the form of an infant. As the hours of Halloween pass, he grows, living an entire lifetime in one night. The ghosts all look forward to his resurrection each year. It just wouldn't be Halloween without the Pumpkin Prince.

RMK Halloween: The Pumpkin Prince 1

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: As you work on catching "rain" to make sweet treats, the ghosts chat with you. You merely touch a skull, grinning ghost, or a jack-o-lantern and begin to tell you funny things, or drop helpful tips. But sometimes the ghosts gossip. They tell you something odd about a person called, "Pumpkin Prince."

For RMK Halloween I have some tips for you hunters. First, if you make toxic candy (a skull-n-crossbone) it's okay. You didn't make a sweet treat, but you can still give it to a ghost. There is one that will gladly take it from you and clear your hud so you can try again! You have to find the ghost that accepts your toxic creations! Second, if you win a premium ticket you can use it at the store of your choice, but you can only redeem it once, just like all the other tickets. You may even want to use this valuable ticket as a trading tool. For example, say one hunter cannot get that last missing ticket, and you need 4 more. You can make a great trade, your one ticket, for 4 of the other hunter's extras. Everybody wins! You can do the trades in the Trading Table area or use the RMK Sim group. Good luck!

Now a little more about the outfit. The suit by Frozen Night can be won at RMK Halloween. It comes with a black necktie and a striped one. It can worn by either girls or guys. The parasol I won at OMG Gacha, it's the rare pumpkin style! Adorable!

RMK Gothic Bunny Hunt: The Jack of Spades

(click to enlarge)

STORYLINE: When Alice arrived at the entrance to Wonderland, she saw the Jack of Spades standing there gobbling down a tray full of strawberry jam tarts. He looked up startled, then roughly grabbed her arm. "Hey! What are you doing here!" But Alice was not a journalist to be manhandled by an overgrown piece of paper. With a well placed heel, she jabbed the foot of the card soldier.

At the Bunny Hunt landing point you can get a free Card Solider outfit. Just click on Humpty Dumpty. You can only draw an outfit once. The card solider outfits are random. The Aces are rare and have different color themes. The rarest is the black Joker with a white rabbit on the front. I have only seen one person so far with this rare Bunny!

You begin your journey in the garden. Touch the storybook at the landing point for the HUD to start a quest to get back something very important to you that was stolen by a naughty spirit. Find the StoryTeller ghosts throughout the sim. Each ghost will send you on a quest. Some are easy, some take practice to get right (like skydiving), and some will have searching all over the sim tiny ghosts or pumpkins. There are 20 quests in all, each one is different. Once you complete a mission, you get a piece of what was stolen from you. 17 prizes are randomly dropped with gifts for girls and guys. And by the last quest, you will have earned a cool skeleton avatar! Dev highly recommends this event with two thumbs up.

BONUS: Devi's hunt tips:
1) Convert your avatar to the provided ghost one. You will be able to hunt much faster and combat sim lag since this is a hugely popular event and many people are there.
2) Take a friend, or make friends. Some challenges require two people to complete.
3) A wearable translator Hud will help you talk to non-English speaking people at the event.
4) If the sim is full, try coming in a less busy time such as 3pm SL.
5) If you run into trouble because of lag, go ahead and complete all quests. Use the white "POST" box next to the storyteller book at the landing. Be sure to keep your Hud! Event organizers will help you. Also the full skeleton is available on last quest.

Good luck! Have fun!
