Spider Visuals Filter
Spider Visuals Filter
Wolvden offers a toggle for spider visuals year-round, but it can be extra useful during this event for arachnophobes or others who would prefer not to see spiders while exploring! This option on your profile page will replace any spider visual in explore with another image. This won't affect decorations, shop images, or spiders elsewhere on site- it will only apply to explore images.
You can find the toggle in the Account Settings section of your profile page.
Exploring
Exploring
Throughout the month, a gradual corruption will settle itself over the landscapes of Wolvden. At the start of the event, you'll be able to find spooky new encounters and battle a few new enemies. As the community collects more and more Mysterious Effigies, the corruption will begin affecting local fauna and attract more powerful monsters. Winning battles against corrupted enemies will reward Mysterious Effigies!

Trick or Treat
Trick or Treat
Once the Pyre has been lit, you will be able to access a new trick-or-treating mechanic! You can trick-or-treat as many times per day as you would like, but the action has a 5-minutes cooldown.

The player who your wolf visits will receive 1 Smouldering Effigy, while you will earn 2-3 Mysterious Effigies in return!

The dark hollow is filled with bone trinkets, and bundles of herbs are strung from twisted dead branches. Trees and shrubs seem to enclose this place from the outside. It's eerily quiet.
