With Halloween creeping up faster than a ghost deer through the fog, I couldn’t resist compiling all the juicy details I’ve gathered from recent official teasers. The event kicks off in on October 18th!, and it looks like it’s going to be the biggest update yet.
If you’re like me and obsessed with farming gems without dropping Robux, this is your golden ticket. Let’s break it down step by step!
A Three-Week Spooky Spectacle
The devs at 99 Nights are going all out this year, stretching the Halloween event over three full weeks to sync up with Roblox’s global Halloween bash starting after October 24th. Instead of dumping everything at once, they’re rolling it out in stages, each building on the last for maximum atmosphere and rewards.
We’ll be seeing map overhauls, creepy entity makeovers, new mechanics, and – most importantly – insane gem farming opportunities.
From what we’ve seen, the whole forest and lobby are getting a Halloween glow-up: dim lanterns, flickering candles, burning pumpkins everywhere, and a thick fog that screams “spooky vibes.”
Entities are getting darker looks too – pumpkins on their heads glowing orange, eyes burning like jack-o’-lanterns. It’s festive AF, but with that edge of terror we love.
Pro tip: Keep an eye on the stage timer that pops up about 10 minutes before each update. It’ll count down to the next phase.
Stage 1: Trick or Treat (aka Pumpkin Frenzy) – Candy Chaos and Gem Bonanza
Starting October 18th and running for 7 days, this is where the fun begins. The main gig is to start collecting candies scattered across the forest and trading them in for gems. Sounds simple, but it’s designed for mega farming.
- How It Works: When you hop into a game, you’ll spot a new Halloween-themed structure (think the pet taming spot but decked out with lanterns, pumpkins, and buckets). Your job is to fill those buckets with candies found all over the map. Candies respawn every 10 nights, and here’s the risk-reward twist: The more dangerous the area, the better your odds of obtaining them. High-risk zones = more candies = more gems.
- Exchanging for Gems: Once your bucket’s full, head to the fairy – but only at night! Normally she snoozes after dark, but during the event, she’s wide awake and ready to trade. During daytime, she’s back to seeds only. In a single game, you could rack up over 80 gems easy. Pumpkins filled with gems might pop up too.
This stage is basically a gem farmer’s dream. The devs even hinted at it in the lobby with visual clues like pumpkins and candies. But word of warning: They might put on some limits later to prevent infinite exploits, so grind while you can!
Stage 2: The Ghost Deer Haunts the Forest
Dropping on October 25th, things get scarier with the star of the show: the Ghost Deer.
- What’s New: The deer turns ghostly, phasing through walls, vanishing into the fog, and ambushing from nowhere. It can grab you and deal damage.
- Your goal is to survive and don’t get caught. This ties into the overall event, building on the candy collecting from Stage 1.
It’s temporary, though – the ghost deer vanishes after the event, so make the most of the chaos.
Stage 3: The Mysterious Finale
Starting November 1st, devs are introducing a new entity exclusive to the event (appears only during this stage and vanishes afterward). There’s a theory it combines elements from the first two stages, with new quests for even more rewards.
Extra Goodies: Codes, UGC, and Roblox Quests
The devs know we live for freebies, so they’re hooking us up:
- New Codes: After each stage, fresh codes drop for free gems. These are basically gold now, so redeem them quickly!
- Free UGC Item?: Rumors say everyone gets a special holiday-themed clothing item just for logging in. Might be free, might cost a tiny bit – unclear, but it’s unique and limited.
- Roblox-Wide Integration: Tie into the traditional Roblox Halloween quest by hunting special pumpkins across the map. Activate them all, and you score a new limited class that’s not for sale.
Honestly, 99 Nights in the Forest is bucking the trend – while other games rushed their Halloween drops this week, the devs took time to craft something atmospheric and packed with crystals.
It’s not just about the scares; it’s a smart way to farm without paying. Compared to past events, this feels massive. Can’t wait for New Year’s if this is the benchmark!
