Overview[imgright]http://www.menewsha.com/img/30801/59a9b9ffc4be7e79f2354d6ecd3dca76.gif[/imgright]
A basic review of how the event works.- Bones, Ribs and Skulls = Used for trading for Event Item Rares to Treat.
- Bones, Ribs and Skulls are collected by posting in the forums or visiting the Crypt. (Please note that the first time you use the Crypt it will not work!
- Unused currency of all types will carry over day to day until the end of the Event.
- However, unused event currency will disappear after the Event is over.
- Skeletons = Used in the Special Event Store.
- Skeletons are equal to 25 gold (ie: a 100 gold item would cost 4 Skeletons).
- You can get Skeletons by trading Bones, Ribs and Skulls to Trick.
- Unused Skeletons will disappear after the event is over.
- Event Items (rares) will start being released on October 31st.

We've got a plethora of currencies this time!
Bones, Ribs and Skulls are used to trade for the Event Items (rares) and Skeletons are used in the Special Event Shop. For more information - continue reading!
---
Bones, Ribs and Skulls: How to collect them
There are two ways to collect these currencies:
1) Post in the forums.
You will earn one random currency each time you post in the forums.
Spamming will not be tolerated, even if it is an event. Warnings will be handed out the same as on non-event days.
2) Visit the Crypts.
Every 15 minutes you can sneak past the graveyard watchman and raid the Crypt to bring back one random currency. You are more likely to collect Bones than any other currency. Ribs is the next most common. Skulls are the least common. But if you're running low on a specific type, go visit Trick and he'll be happy to convert whichever currency you don't need for whichever type of currency you do. Beware, though - he does have an exchange rate!
Please note that the first time you visit the Crypt you will find the gate locked. Try again after 15 minutes. (If it still doesn't work, clear your cache and try again!)
Skeletons: What are they? and How to collect them
We're bringing back Event Store Currency for this event - horray!
Each Skeleton is worth 25 gold in the store. You can only use Skeletons when using Skeletons, however. You can't pay part in Skeletons and part in gold! In the cases where the price of an item sits between Skeleton, you may "pay" a little more or a little less while using Skeletons than you would using gold.
To obtain Skeletons, visit Trick who will be happy to accept 8 Bones, 2 Ribs and 3 Skulls to give you a Skeleton.

Frequently Asked Questions[imgright]http://www.menewsha.com/img/30801/595156c30d54d54bc01697a9723edb6b.jpg[/imgright]
This space will be filled with commonly asked questions you guys have about the event. Staff will edit in the answers to questions that seem to be asked a lot.
****
Q. How long will this event last?
A. Until approximately 7pm Central on November 8th.
Q. Can you collect event currency by posting in all forums or only in the event forum?
A. You can collect them in all forums except the Word Games forum.
Q. Can I buy or trade event currency?
A. No. You'll have to earn your currency on your own!
Q. What time does the next event item rare come out?
A. They should come out at midnight Central Time Zone, but this may vary due to unforeseen circumstances. Just hang tight if it happens!
Q. Is there a limit to how many event item rares I can collect? Do they have to be collected in a specific order?
You may collect as many of the gifts as you have currency for, as many times as you like, whichever order or item you like. (For example, if you only wanted to collect the third item, you do not have to collect the first and second as well.)
Q. Who did the artwork for the event?
A. ToriKat and HamletSpamlet did the artwork for the staff thread banners (and Sizzla put together the banners).
YanYan13 and did the artwork for the event forum layout.
Omi did the FAQ artwork.
Q. Who did the pixeling for this event?
A. Tre le Coco, wish04, Some Random Randomness and puchistar all contributed to the lovely event item rares and commons. :)
Q. Why isn't [specific feature] working for me?
A. Please post your browser (ex: Firefox), browser-version (ex: 3.1), and operating system (ex: Windows Vista) and let us know what problem you are experiencing, if it happens in all browsers you try; etc. Posting screenshots may also be useful. We'll do our best to troubleshoot - but we need more information than just, "this isn't working. :c"

It's leftover code from Celes Paradi... It doesn't do anything and hopefully will shortly be removed. :)

Oh sorry about that, I should have asked the question I wanted to ask but forgot.
For event rares, they won't use different currencies will they? Like one uses bones, or one uses ribs. I read the previous posts by Jeryck, but I'm not sure if I had overlooked it or not.

They should use a mix of different currencies, but not all of them will use a mixture.
(I wasn't mad, btw. I'm very, very, very tired.)

Ah I see. It's okay I understand the tired part! I'm planning to go back to sleep soon myself.
I like that idea, with the mixture of currencies!

This is odd, when i try to trade 3 or 4 skulls or ribs for bones, it tells me that i don't have any currency. however it works when i trade 1 or when i trade 2. :O
Solved one portion so I deleted it!

question
when visiting the crypt, is it within each 15 minute block, or 15 minutes since the last time you visited?

Thank-you for this little FAQ forum for the Halloween event here on Menewsha. I was a bit confused as to what to do with the bones, but, once I read the post, it was alot clearer to me as to what I had to do.
And Happy Halloween! <3

I have firefox and the crypt isn't working for me.
Edit: ok it works now. Is the "it's locked" thing just a dud chance?

I'm pretty sure this has been said, but the Crypt seems to be perpetually locked. Is there a reason for this or is it a glitch?

The crypt seems a bit buggy, not sure if the stuff going on with it is intended or not.
First time I went there, around 10 past the hour, it said the gates were locked. I waited until 17 past and it said the same thing. I tried again 32 past and finally got a bone. Then I tried again 46 and it said I got a bone, but I didn't get anything. So I tried clicking again just to see what was going to happen, and it kept saying I got a bone, even though I was getting nothing. o_O
Then I deicded to wait a few minutes and just went to try again. 49 past it said I got a bone, but I seem to have gotten a skull instead, and whenever I click the crypt now I keep getting the message that I got a bone, even though it's not giving me anything.
I dunno if the message for the bones/skulls/ribs (which look like brains to me :XD) are meant to be different though. :P Or if every 15 min means set times or 15 min from the last time you received something.
