Runes of Magic News

The celebration goes on day and night for several days in a row. The tables are lined with all kinds of delicacies. Travelers that happen to pass by are also warmly welcomed to join the festivities. Travelers that learned of the origins of this festival from the villagers spread the news of this inspirational event, letting more people know and giving them the opportunity to share in this lovely event.

Now, the custom of the Autumn Banquet has already spread to every city and village. During the celebrations, people gain a better understanding of how truly wealthy they really are, and they also give thanks for each others' well being. I hope that this year's Autumn Banquet will warm your heart too.

Ghosts and demons will be trying to use this witching season to escape from the realm of the dead. In their attempts to contact you on this side of the void, you'll find some enticing items winging their way into your mailboxes over the coming days.

We have a surprise in store for you every day between October 25th and November 3rd, and you can look forward to various useful items to help you on your adventures.

If you have multiple characters on your account, the presents will land in the mailbox of the first character you log in with. Even if you miss a day during this period, it won't have any effect on the remaining presents.



The boundaries between the realm of the dead and the world of the living start to blur during the infamous Pumpkin Festival! Creepy figures sharpen their claws and descend upon Taborea to haunt the inhabitants and spread fear and chaos.

The spirits from the other side have cast spells on the creatures in certain regions. They’ve even possessed the bodies of various famous residents of Varanas City and are using them as envoys of the land of the dead. Do you have the courage necessary to take on these phantoms?

What do I need to do?

During the event between October 24th (08:00 AM CET) until November 7th (08:00 AM CET), it’ll be your task to round up your friends and allies or head out on the adventure alone. Visit these dangerous locations, defeat the monsters and exchange the coins you gather in loot for special prizes.

All monsters in the zones listed below will be carrying the special Coin of Earth (7 Days). Defeat them, collect the coins and visit the Central Plaza in Varanas City (Channel 1) – Owenstein, Hilary, Frank and Eve will be waiting for you there to exchange them for valuable rewards. What are you waiting for?

List of zones during the event:

• Weeping Coast
• Savage Lands
• Enoch
• Korris
• Vortis

The RoM Team

Enjoy the festivities by taking part in parades, joining the big round of "Trick or Treat", catching ghosts or otherwise coming to the aid of the terrified citizens. Look forward to some fantastic prizes for your efforts.

The witching season is upon us once more, and the Pumpkin King has returned! He's threatening the living with his hordes of ghosts and monsters. Challenge him to a duel with emotes, defeat his pumpkin offspring and put an end to his terror! Other witches and demons have also come to haunt Taborea's inhabitants. Beat them back using their own weapons and drive terror into their hearts!

When the Eye of Wisdom first came to Candara, the land was very underdeveloped. There was a great shortage of lumber, a farmer used a pumpkin to carve a mask like these and then when he put a candle inside, it seemed to come to life.

When the leaders at the Eye of Wisdom heard of this, they marked this day as a day of celebration so that the people could take a rest before the hard winter. Everyone put on these pumpkin masks and gathered to enjoy a friendly chat and some delicious pumpkin dishes. Later, children would put on these masks and dress up as monsters then visit their neighbor's houses to ask for candy.

First it was only the game of a few children, but over time a custom developed and now the day is set in the calendar as Pumpkin Festival. Children still dress as monsters and ask everyone for candy or try to scare them. And they shout: 'Trick or Treat!' Colored Ribbons Exchange
