Again, this is not what i mean.

Its clear that i mean the event not to be held at Draynor at all whatsoever.

Again, what does it matter if the quest givers are in a specific location but the quests throw you all around the world? This is how a lot of games, especially MMORPGs do their lore based events. It is also how plenty of content in RS3 work. For instance, what's the problem when Death is in his office and he keeps sending us out every day for a Reaper Task in different locations?

i do want the spooky blindfold as well but i really hate the "grind these tokens" events

We can have similar miniquests the past years and have the spooky blindfold as either a direct reward or indirectly from spending in the event shop too.

For example, using last year's miniquest structure, we can have Pestilence asking us to get ingredients to make a spooky blindfold. For example, black dye, clothes, threads, a pair of scissors (gather ores and smith them). And to make it "spooky", we need to find many ghosts and solve different puzzles they gave just like last year.

These are classical miniquests, fitting the Halloween theme.

I think a lot of players just miss having an actual holiday event. whether it included a quest or if it was just some quick 15 minute event that gave a couple holiday themed rewards. I miss them too, but people complained that it was a waste of time making a different event each year for each holiday. which is the reason we see events like the one in draynor coming back every year since like 2020, or the easter event. I'm sure eventually christmas will be the same way.

We know the Spooky Blindfold a lot of players asked for will be obtainable this year:

" Mod Miva
Greetings,
Yes, the spooky blindfold will be added to the H'oddments store when it returns this autumn."


So we can all go kill 4000% enraged Telos blind folded like Evillucario this Halloween. :P

I think I read something on Twitter from a J Mod doing Violet is Boo, or a Halloween based Violet quest. I am not sure if they actually meant it or not. But I remember it coming up.

I also want an actual Holiday Event and no a Skill-A-Thon. We have more than enough of those on a yearly basis. Much like I said for Christmas, I want it to bring back Pre-Deathcon like events. Where it feels like a quests and the rewards are actually nice. I like the old outfits far more than the newer stuff where it actually look Halloweenish.

I actually really like the Zombie Invasion thing we did, but once you got to a certain point, fairly early on, there wasn't really anything to do.

I want the event to spread across the entire F2P, or at least Varrock, Lumbridge and Draynor. Maybe with the Gods gone, we can stop wedging them into every single event. Because let's be honest, when the God Saga began, that is when the Holiday Events died for the most part. Come the Sixth-Age, the world will need the World Guardian.

^So pretty much rehashed content?

As much as it might be as a noice change of pace from the last 2 years, Its seems clear enough to me that the whole Violet series is meant for the christmas season and not halloween.

So that wouldnt make much sense IMO.

Yeah that was my thought. The only way I could see Violet Series for Halloween is if they pull a Nightmare Before Christmas like quest. Come the Sixth-Age, the world will need the World Guardian.
