Well, the halloween event is only for the first and third chapters. So what about those people who only have factions.

Well if you bought your factions package, it should have with it a bonus key for prophecies for a good 10 hours access. I did this with my little sister who only has factions and it worked, she now has access to LA with all of its goodies.

I would suggest using it only on the 31st so you don't use up your hours otherwise.

Tip for everyone. To farm Skree Wings to give to the Horseman in Champions. Get the quest Skree Hatchlings and then just go farm them. The quest puts 26 lvl 2 Skree Hatchlings in an area right outside of Champions. Plus, Skree Mothers will appear. Easy way to farm, really fast, and if you bother to go and get the Skree hunting bonus you'll level rank also, just takes longer. Easy farm, just make sure not to kill all 26 so you can rezone and go again.

PST (pacific standard time) is -8 hours UTC (former GMT, GMT=UTC)
CET (central european time) is +1 hour UTC (this includes most west european countries)

This means the king will appear for the first time at 0801 (UTC) and 0901 (CET)

Lyra, I have been playing around with the Candy Corn character you get transformed into (going out on killing sprees and such) and it has lasted for 50 minutes each time (timex timed ).

It would be cool to have one of those Candy Corn Mad King's Guards as a minipet.

Just as a bit more confusion.

The guild wars website states the kings first appearance is 12:01AM PST.
Fine, thats 8AM in the UK.

But the login screen information on the dropdown states 12:01AM PDT.
Thats 7AM UK time.

Anyone know for definate which is correct. Are the states on PST or PDT?

Pacific Standard Time should be about -8 GMT. Not sure with daylight savings time added in.

Daylight savings is over anyway, so PST is GMT-8.

There's also a collector in Kamadan who takes 3 sentient roots for the standard four items + transmogrification

Another one in Kamadan takes 2 mandragor carapaces for the four standard items

By the dye trader, between dye trader / rune trader and the merchant. Behind the haunted house cutout.

Also do collectors not give the tonic for the madagor carpaces?>.<

You can invite the Mad King's Guards as henchmen into your group (at least you can in Elonia) and have a messed up looking lvl3 Candy Corn minion summoner running around with you on the plains.

RA, reporting you

You can also farm charr in the Great Northern Wall, Fort Ranik, and Nolani Academy missions.

I saw a few people repeating that there would be a collector for singed gargoyle skulls, and was wondering if you had a cite or comment, or if it's just the usual retardness.

Can someone tell me how to get this quest? From what I can tell, Mofuun gives it, but when I talk to him, he doesn't have any quest to give. Is there something I have to do first? Or is it something only available to Elonian characters (I was using one of my Tyrian characters)? I'd appreciate any clues as to how to do this, thanks.
