Harvest Festival Hall Continues
Harvest Festival Hall remains available until Thursday, November 5.
To get to Harvest Festival Hall, travel to Eldritch Academy from Pora Elinu or speak to Ellonia [Halloween Guide], found next to the pumpkin decorations in any town.
Once inside Eldritch Academy, speak to Titiana to enter the Hall, then speak to the witch Serena to begin, and use the cannons to repel waves of monsters intent on stealing every last bit of candy they can get their grubby paws on.

Additions to the TERA Store
Available for a very limited time starting Tuesday, October 29, the 2019 Halloween Critter Crate offers a never before seen mount and pet, as well as other various Halloween themed Pets.
This specialty Halloween crate will only be available for purchase until 10 a.m. PDT on Tuesday, November 5.
Gourdo has returned to TERA for Halloween! You’ll need to work together to take him down…but the rewards will be well worth the effort!
This Halloween season—starting Tuesday, October 22 and continuing until Tuesday, November 5—keep an eye peeled for Gourdo in most of TERA’s cities and major villages, such as Crescentia, Scythera Fae, and so on (but not in Velika or on Exodor).
During the event, Gourdo will appear on weekdays from 4 p.m. PDT until 9 p.m. PDT, and from noon to midnight on Saturdays and Sundays.
Once you spot him, it’s “smashing pumpkins” time! If your group takes him out, you’ll receive lots of awesome consumables, possibly including Squash Pie, Halloween-themed footsteps, or up to five Gourdo’s Moongourds!
Check out the possible rewards:
Squash Pie (100% HP)
Castanica Midnight Oil (+50% craft speed for 1 hour)
Ice Effect (consumable boost and character effect, not tradeable)
Fire Effect consumable boost and character effect, not tradeable)
Strongbox Key
[Event] Gourdo’s Moongourd ×2
[Event] Gourdo’s Moongourd ×5
Superior Noctenium Elixir
10% Item XP Boost (2-hour)
Footsteps: Frightsteps
What could be easier? But here’s a curveball: There are also fake Gourdos! These phony pumpkinheads are invulnerable, and so no matter how much you beat them, they’ll never fall…and never drop any rewards. So even if you can take out a true Gourdo all by yourself, wailing on a Fake Gourdo will only make it angry.
If you manage to kill a real Gourdo and you pick up a Gourdo’s Moongourd, you’re in luck! Each day during the event, you’ll receive an [Event] Gourdo’s Campfire in your Parcel Post. Combine that with 100 Gourdo’s Moongourds to make a special Halloween Moongourd Pie—which you can then bust open to receive even more amazing rewards, such as autumn-themed Footsteps, a Moon pet, Skill Advancement Scrolls, Legacy Essences, or other items! And if you find yourself running out of event campfires, you can purchase more from the TERA Store.
Ready to get Gourdo? Then get going! He’s only around until November 5!
This week’s highlights include the trickiest of treaters: Gourdo! Plus bonuses for Vanguard Requests, weekend dungeons highlights, new companions and more.

Defeating Gourdo rewards you with some awesome consumables, and may provide a Strongbox Key or even our groovy Halloween footsteps!
Sounds easy enough, right? Oh, but wait: Those phony Gourdos haven’t gone away entirely! These pumpkinheads are invulnerable, and so they can never be beaten…and never drop any rewards!
Don’t get too overconfident: You might be able to take out a true Gourdo all by yourself, but wailing on a phony Gourdo, will only frustrate you and him.

GEAR UP, UP, AND AWAY!
Monsters and quests on Exodor also provide a new gear set, specifically designed for easy enchanting with the materials found exclusively on the archipelago. Duranium gear is the first to drop, and while it’s comparable to Stormcry gear, it provides increased Defense, Amplification, and Resistance bonuses (as do the 12 new varieties of inner armor). It can’t be upgraded, but it does enchant up to +15. And when you get them, Azart, Annihilation, and Dark Light gear can infuse effects! By the time you’ve assembled and enchanted a full set (including belts and masks), you should be able to easily handle anything Exodor throws at you.
Gourdo's Trick or Treat event is returning for another Halloween season! Look for more information coming in October.
