This quest was introduced in October 2005 and is available every year around Halloween.

It's one of five tasks required to receive a Bone Mask of Horror (illusion click item).

Old Man Draykey is found in the northwest corner of Kithicor Forest at about 1915, 4535.

You say, 'Hail, Old Man Draykey'.

Old Man Draykey says 'Greetings, _____! Have you [come to participate] in the festivities?''

You say, 'I have come to participate.'

Old Man Draykey says 'Excellent, excellent! For those of you that enjoy trick-or-treating I have set up an event beyond anything you have done before. I will have convinced ten...well beings...not all of them are really people, to help with this. It's a very tricky endeavor, with highly complex [instructions]. Prepare yourself and then I will reveal the secrets to you.'

You say, 'What instructions?'

Old Man Draykey says 'First of all you need to know how to properly speak with these people. Once you find them, you simply need to say 'Trick or treat', and see what they have to say in return. I have compiled a list of my helpers around Norrath and have written them down in my book. As I have said, there are ten people each with a piece of candy you'll need to collect. Once you've collected all ten return to me with the full bag.'

You receive Draykey's Codex, a book of hints as to where to find the mobs, and a Trick-or-Treat Bag (10-slot GIANT container).

The Codex reads:

Search out those that have treats for you. Here is a small list of clues as to where they can be found.

1. Hiding in the bushes of the dead house.
2. The pinnacle of enlightenment.
3. He's not Slate, but he's close.
4. Wanders in a pit in the land of his kind.
5. A short man in an icy land, food can be found in his hands.
6. Lurking in the forest near a feline retreat.
7. He found out the hard way that drinking and swordplay do not mix.
8. Hidden away in the caves of his lair.
9. Toiling in the fields of the gnoll's family.
10. He's fallen down the stairs, but it's been kept under wraps.


The goal of the quest is to /target and say "Trick or treat" to 10 NPCs.

NOTE: Sometimes the NPC will "trick" you and give you something like Coal, Sand, or Pocket Lint. If you receive a "trick" instead of the "treat," you need to zone out and back in again to say "trick or treat" again (and keep doing so until you get a treat).
