Mini-guide to quests Hallowtide:

Materials you will need:​

-medicinal powder-10 units,
-ground grain-10 units,
-Blue salt knives -5 units. (you can buy at the place where you complete the task of making a creepy pumpkin),
-Blue salt hammer - 1 unit. (or more craft hammers if you want to spend all the tokens at once).

Quests:
Spooky quest Line should start with the hot springs at the Solis headlands (East).
After arriving at the hot springs (you can move through the festival gate located in your faction base), you need to go down to the open tents and speak to the NPC called Hallowtide Guide Bongro, a decorator who gives a quest for making a creepy pumpkin. To do this, you will need 5 Blue salt knives and 1 pumpkin, which you will be given from Bongro. There is a traveling merchant nearby, where you can buy blue salt knives. The Hallowtide Pumpkinhead Workbench for making the necessary pumpkins is located next to Bongro.

Then you can run to the next NPC Snail Trainer Zerk. This quest will give you a snail for half an hour. You need to summon it and mount it then, go in search of sweets that are randomly located in dropped pouches, you need to find the right candy using a special skill of the snail.

Even if you found one on your first pouch, do not rush to get off the snail! You will need another candy for future crafting (any color). So collect another candy. In addition, extra candy can be used to speeding up the snail — to do this, you need to target the snail and use the candy from the inventory. Do not despawn your snail early! the snail has a minute cool-down and wont allow you to find more candy!

We move along the fences and pumpkins to the NPC Snail Trainer Zinpio and Pumpkin Carver Suyeon, handing her a purple candy and a creepy pumpkin, the character gets "Magical Copper details" - 2 units. and a new quest - delivery of pumpkin with candy for Welkos. To continue the chain of festival quests, you need to use the world gate to Two crowns, which can be found near Zinpio and Suyeon.

Festival Keeper Kennis will give you a quest which leads you to Welkos. Welkos, is located near the Two Crowns arena, near fences and pumpkins. Welkos will ask you to light three pumpkins (small pumpkins in hats located next to each other called Decorative Pumpkin Lantern). Reward — 1 spooky token and a "Rapid growth potion" that allows you to get 10,000 experience. "Potion of Growth" should not be used — it will be needed for further crafting!

Next, you need to go to a smelter, which is located nearby → section [Quest] and craft Pumpkin Caramel from candy and a "Witch's pot" is created from the crafted pumpkin caramel and Magical Copper details obtained from the quest.
We go back to Welkos, show him the cauldron, get two white bottles — "Ghostly Essence Potion", a second Potion of Growth and also a new quest.

Place the pot on the ground by right clicking it from your inventory in any convenient place nearby (the pot disappears after 30 minutes!) and use it to create 2 potions for the task: Honor Elixir (medicinal powder — 10 units and Ghostly Essence Potion obtained from Welkos) and Vocation Elixir (ground grain-10 units and Ghostly Essence Potion obtained from Welkos). We turn in the quest to Welkos and get the third "Potion of Growth". For the next quest, you need to brew the "Spiritual Potion" in your witch's pot — for this you will need 3 Potion of Growth - 3 units - and a Blue Salt Hammer -1 unit. It is the Spiritual Potion requiring Potion of Growths counts for completing the "Spiritual Seance" quest.

This is the end of the daily line of Hallowtide quests.
