First Quest is out.
Something Wicked This Way Comes (26th Oct). Just a quick run to King Frozenwind.
Second Quest
Don't Fear the Reapers (27th Oct). A long journey to visit all seven Reapers.
Third & Fourth Quest
Stemming the Skeletal Tide (30th Oct). Capture 1 Skeleton of Dhuum
Every Bit Helps. (30th Oct). Capture 3 Skeletons of Dhuum
Speculation
Gathered from gw.dat
Oct 29th GW Update added Dhuum for the final quest.
- will probably be a solo quest.
- take place in the underworld.
- player is transformed into an Agent of the Mad King with a custom skill bar.
Agent of the Mad King skills
Sugar Rush - speed boost
Sticky Ground - snare
Sugar Shock - knock down
The Mad King's Influence - foes turn into allies temporarily
Third Quest
Everlasting Mobstopper - capture Skeleton of Dhuum
Weakened by Dhuum - can only capture one skeleton at a time
Skeleton of Dhuum skills
Bone Spike - 100 damage to target foe
Flurry of Splinters - 15 damage per second to 5 foes over 3 seconds
Vs Dhuum
Should be the final quest.
Dhuum skills
Dhuum - Dhuum does cool stuff ^^
Summon Champion - summon a champion of Dhuum
Summon Minions - summon minions of Dhuum
Touch of Dhuum - steal health and target suffers from DP
Reaping of Dhuum - move between foes and attacks each one
Judgment of Dhuum - deals damage to everything
Weight of Dhuum - snare, degen, less benefit from healing
Curse of Dhuum - disable res
Player/NPC Skills ?
Dhuum's Rest - put Dhuum to rest, disables ghostly fury
Spiritual Healing - heal Reaper
Encase Skeletal - render skeleton harmless
Reversal of Death - remove DP
Ghostly Fury - deals damage, disables Dhuum's rest
Edit:
There seems to be 4 quests.
Everlasting Mobstopper is probably the third one.
And we will face Dhuum in the last quest.
As to the quest rewards
I doubt it will be a mini-pet and certainly hope that it is more than just tonics/tot bags.
My guess, Halloween Costumes!

evenfall, can you find out the rarity of the mad kings guard mini?
Shayne Hawke
Custom skill bars and solo festival quests are fun. I might make some time to do these.
Reformed
Would be pretty funny if this had a top 100 ladder on capture count. Easy way to hand out the prize, mini I assume.
evenfall
There is something new which is not mini-pets or tonics. No sure whether it will be the reward for the quest.
No idea. Doubt such data can be found inside the client's gw.dat.

Seems probable that *a* reward will be a mini Mad King's Guard with around a mini Polar Bear drop rate. Same basic setup as the quests that dispense Polar Bears during Wintersday.
The "something else" may also be a reward.

I'm not sure if i like the idea of having a mini with very low droprate drop from quests that are only in for one year. But it's a high possibility that it'll be since that wouldn't lessen the value of the contest minis all that much *IF* it is a MKG mini.
If it's a different mini it would be nice to have the droprate around the percentage of the celestial minis instead of the polar mini. As those are "one year only" aswell. (Yes i do realize that they might come back if enough years pass)

All a matter of opinions though.
All the same these quests will be cool and I'm sure the reward (mini or not) will be nice too.

Good find.
A solo quest eh with set skills. Thank God, I was scared this new Underworld quest would have the Permasins coming in freaking droves.

Is there any news on how you start this quest? I assume we'll get it from an npc, maybe in lions arch? Does anyone know?

I figured the quest would be available now, but I guess we have to wait until noon or something?

Speak to Mad King's Steward in Lions Arch or Kamadan:
Oh well, they did say quests so here's hoping for more

Just finished quest. Is easy. Just use your brain. all the hype about a new mini pet at the end must not be true since there is not end chest and the quest gives a set reward.
Black Metal
ok i just finished the first quest, you gotta run to the end of the smite area, where the doors are, alternating the 4th skill to turn hostiles friendly and the run skill
edit: well dammit, it looks like the first quest was the ONLY quest........that's a lot of hype for something so simple

I dont get it, is that it? what the hell.
optymind
yay for having el transmo tonic... i knew it was a smart purchase
Chico
If that's it then I hope each day brings a new quest.
Free Runner
It looks like they are doing it one quest per day? they cant tell us Dhuum is coming and then cut it off.
tONYY
This was just a build up I hope.
Holy Warblade
AGREE, hope this wasn't the whole quest for the event >.<
Chico
Is it:
Repeatable?
Once per char?
Once per account?
