Getting Started
Step 1 — Buy a basket. Go to the Sally Sweet Shop and buy a basket for $35. It must be in your inventory, not your display case.
Step 2 — Equip spooky clothing. You only need one item from the clothing list below.
Step 3 — Equip a spooky weapon. You only need one weapon from the weapon list below.
Step 4 — Attack. Attack any low-level player, and make sure the last hit is with your spooky weapon.
- Defends and assists do not count.
- Treat drops are random, so keep going even if you get a dry spell.
Step 5 — Collect treats and upgrade your basket. Spend treats only on basket upgrades (see the upgrade path in section 4).

4. Basket Upgrade Path
Buy upgrades in this order. "Running total" is the total number of treats you'll have collected by that point, and the basket name shows which tier your basket reaches.

5. Basic Week Plan
Before the event: Check the calendar and, if needed, adjust your start time a little so the event lines up with your best Torn time.
Energy sources to use during the week, in order:
- Book: "Ugly Energy" — start it if you managed to get one and saved it for this event. If not, use one of these instead:
- Green Eggs (Green Easter Eggs) — ideally saved from Easter just for this.
- FHC (Feathery Hotel Coupon) — if you have the funds.
- Seasonal Newsletter — for 250 energy.
- Job points — if you work at a Candle Shop, Farm, Grocery Store, Sweet Shop, or similar.
- Daily refills.
- Cans (energy drinks).
- Xanax — stack to 1,000 energy before kick-off, then use during the day.
- Always land the last hit with the spooky weapon.
Travel: Consider not flying at all during the event week — the downtime isn't worth it, especially since the recent changes.
Racing: Race, baby, race! It can be done at the same time as the event. 😊
6. Exchanging for Rewards
Once you've finished upgrading your basket, you can exchange your treats for big rewards.
- Exchange in batches of 10.
- 150–180 exchanges seems to be a good quantity to aim for.
