WARNING: You can trick or treat without a costume at night, but when doing so, you are guaranteed to roll a Trick and receive a debuff instead of candies.
How To Get Costumes in 99 Nights in the Forest?
Costumes are the key item that let you go trick or treating in the Halloween event of 99 Nights in the Forest. You can find them scattered across the forest map during the event from various sources. Here are all the places from which you can get costumes:
- From Costume Chests, found near POIs like houses, ruins, etc.
- From Halloween Themed Mobs like Wolves and Cultists
Once you pick up a costume and equip it, your character visually changes and you become eligible to trick or treat at any decorated house you find while exploring.
There are five sets of costumes you can equip, namely: the Pirate, Lobster, Astronaut, Dinosaur, Mummy, and the Werewolf. Equipping a full set gives you extra buffs and candies.
NOTE: You can only use an equipped costume piece to trick or treat once. When you do it, your costume pieces will be lost and you will candy in exchange for them.
