Calendar showing Zilloween during the month of Remember

Every 25-37th of Remember, it's Zilloween. Zilloween is a celebration in honor of the Giant Zille, and it is customary during this holiday to give out Candy to one's fellow Glitchen and carve a lot of Pumpkins.

“

This is Zilloween, this is Zilloween, a holiday (which, for some reason, people tend to repeat) in honor of Zille. A time for costumes, seasonal foods, for gifting candy, and the only time when pumpkins can be grown and carved into lanterns: Zilloween Zilloween, Zilloween Zilloween! Ahem. Excuse us. Overexcited.

Achievements

Candy party in Cebarkul

There are several achievements related to Zilloween:

Player Activities

Meeting in Cebarkul to hand out candy was common. Higher-level often gave out stacks of candy to lower-level players who didn't yet have all the recipes, so they could start working toward the candy-giving achievements.

In Eleven Alpha, Kiehiman Course was a favorite party-place because it was a free teleport point on the Tester Tool. It has a Produce Vendor that can supply corn, and is right next to Tower St West, which has a Groceries Vendor for candy supplies.

Frequency

The dates on which Zilloween will occur in 2018^‡ are as follows:

25th January 2018
