Baskets now available from Sally's Sweet Shop. Items set to restock every 15 minutes. Get yours now to secure your supply of treats!
The Trick or Treat event opened up at 14:00 TCT today, thus beginning a week of sweet success for anyone wielding a Halloween Basket. Baskets went on sale at Salty's Sweet Shop Sally's Sweet Shop shortly before the event began, and these $35 items sold out within less than a minute! I swear it was easier getting an Xbox Series X than it was one of these f***ing baskets.

A total of 100 baskets will restock every fifteen minutes, so make sure you time your trip correctly to get one, as they refresh at 00, 15, 30, and 45 minutes every hour. 9,600 Halloween Baskets will be available over the course of each day, and they will remain on sale until the event ends at 14:00 on the 3rd of November.
Please note that purchasing the basket does not contribute towards your 100 a day Sweet Shop item limit, and you cannot buy more than one basket. Please also note that we're currently registering 1,000 attacks every minute, which is a new Torn record, so good luck staying out of the hospital everyone! Thank f**k we bought those new servers.

Aside from the extortionate thirty-five dollar basket cost, there are no downsides whatsoever to participation in the Trick or Treat event. While holding a basket, each attack you make between the 27th of October and the 3rd of November has a chance of gaining you a treat. If you were planning to spend the next seven days murdering strangers for no apparent reason, you may as well do so with a little plastic bucket in your hand.
Your basket will automatically level-up as you pass certain treat milestones, growing from Spooky to Creepy, to Freaky and beyond. Each level gives you a greater chance of collecting a treat from an attack. You can also spend treats to further improve your basket by clicking on it in your inventory, as doing so will bring up the upgrade screen below.

As you can see, there are four of upgrades, with the last three unlocked when you hit certain basket levels. Treats can be used to unlock these upgrades, or you can simply exchange your treats for a stash of consumable items instead. Some of the upgrades will ensure that you receive a higher quantity or better quality of items when you exchange your treats, with special rewards and benefits also on offer depending on which upgrade path you take.
Players must decide for themselves whether they want to invest their treats in basket upgrades for a long-term strategy, or go for the short-term benefit and receive a bunch of candy, cans and alcohol right now. It may be that there is one upgrade path which is the most efficient of all, but if there is, we don't know it. I guess we'll all have to wait for Andyman to figure it out for us.
Trick or Treat isn't the only event that's planned for the Halloween season. Duke's parcel giveaway was announced in the most recent edition of the Local News. Am I going to make you read this article to find out what Duke's clue is? Yes, I certainly am.

And finally, if you're desperately disappointed that we're not giving out Halloween masks to the top 250 treat collectors this year, then fret not my spooky chums, because we're going to run a couple of small events on October 31st to compensate. Whereas most of the new Halloween masks will be given out to Community Event winners, we have reserved 100 to hand out via other means.
25 will be given out through our Facebook competition which will be posted on the 31st. An additional 25 will be given out randomly to players who take part in Duke's parcel competition. 25 further masks will be provided via Global Chat if you can answer some Halloween trivia questions. And finally, the last batch of 25 masks will be given out in a secret manner which is entirely secret.
Or is it?
TL;DR: Trick or Treat started at 2pm TCT today. Baskets restock at Sally's Sweet Shop every 15 minutes.
