    The staff have mentioned that the Hallowynn quest uses new mechanics from the new quest system. I am curious about what these mechanics are and what the new quest system is in general. I have completed the quest and saw the usual cut scenes that are used in most quests now and did not recognize the new mechanics. Are they the jump-scares, or the music or something else I missed?

    Well, the "New Quest System" has existed since the gameplay update. It's not an overhaul, like the Mob Update, but an upgrade to the old one.

    It just lets the GMs be more creative and have more options, as far as I know.

    I think they said something like they upgraded it a bit more for this update.
    But, the only difference I saw is that non-quest npcs have white names

    What about the part where you could find the 4 stages of the quest in any order and it would know how many you've done? That's new. It could do it without quest items, unlike The Lost.

    There really is a new system, one which wasn't used before; you'll probably experience the new features in upcoming quests :)
    (+ a lot of stuff changed which can't be noticed by the player, but still counts as improvement, code-wise)

    Nope, the new quest system was first implemented in this Halloween Update.

    There's a lot of new things that you guys saw that you might not have noticed. Such as non-linear objectives without using items or NPCs, the ability to control the paths of mobs (as seen in the cutscene), music playing (also seen in the cutscene), and certain "infinite" functions, such as the ambient noises in the Hallowynn area. And we've only scratched the surface of the cool things the system will be able to do. Just wait until we REALLY start to blow your minds.

    Tantibus, it would be SUPER COOL if the corrupted dungeon xp change could be pushed into effect. I used a key on the infested pit and only got 200k with 160% xp bonus. (lvl 99)

    I don't think the XP rewards text factors in multipliers like XP armor.

    This is a huge deal. This means we can save/load data without requiring any actions from the player, and in any order. Remember the falling tree at spawn? Wouldn't it be cool if you didn't had to push a button and could simply hit it like a normal mob as it breaks down? The game could remember whether you did that or not (assuming you can avoid breaking down the tree) and if you did, 40 level laters you could meet a woodcutter in Nesaak telling you about how he had to get rid of a dangerous hanging tree over a ravine a while ago. AND THEN, you could go back there and see that the tree has been in fact cut down.

    It's gonna be really cool. We really needed that to do some of the stuff we want to do.

    Imagine putting that with pretty much everything in Wynncraft... that will be amazing :^

    I can only expect something like development of a "random scenario" for a quest, or just straight-up idiot proof features :>
