Festival of the Lost

"Am I supposed to celebrate death? It's a time for mourning our lost, yet everyone is...smiling.[...]People call me disturbing."

— Eris Morn

The Festival of the Lost, as celebrated in the Tower

The Festival of the Lost is a limited time event held in the Tower, coinciding with Halloween. The event began on October 26, 2015, and ended on November 9, 2015. Another festival will be held in October, 2016.

Overview

"Have some candy, Guardian. Death has passed us by this night."

— Eva Levante

The Festival of the Lost honors and celebrates the spirits of the dead, Guardian and citizen alike. The event involves the consumption of candy.

Gameplay

Speaking with Eva Levante will present players with quest Sweet Memories, in which they must collect candy from vendors around the Tower. Completing this will open three additional quests: The Masks We Wear, Playing Pretend, and Face Off!, each of which require collecting masks and using them in specific situations.

The primary reward of the festival is a collection of new cosmetic items called Masks, which are worn like helmets but offer no additional stats or perks. Rare Masks will expire at the end of the festival and be removed from the player's inventory, but Legendary Masks are permanent; Rare Masks can be upgraded into Legendary Masks using an event-exclusive material called Paper Glue.
