| Title | Halloween – Treasures of the Sorcerer’s Dungeon (Autumn 2017) |
|---|---|
| Content | Halloween approaches, the Sorcerer’s Dungeon has been taken over by the Pumpkin King and his henchmen.
Following a similar formula to the two previous Halloween Events, <a href="https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/combat/pvm-player-versus-monster/halloween-treasures-of-doom/">Treasures of Doom</a> and <a href="https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/combat/pvm-player-versus-monster/treasures-of-the-kotl-city/">Treasures of the Kotl City</a>, a researcher has stationed himself outside the dungeon. This kindly scientist will tithe gold for adventuring chivalrous knights, lock karma and restore life to distressed ghosts.
Artifacts of Enchanted Origin will appear in adventurers' packs as they battle the inhabitants of the dungeon and the researcher will exchange these for a variety of items in his inventory:

Not all artifacts falling into adventurers' packs in the dungeon will be of interest to the researcher, for this is Ilshenar; there are paragon creatures and therefore a chance of <a href="https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/items/artifacts-minor/">Minor Artifacts</a> and, potentially,<a href="https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/combat/pvm-player-versus-monster/ilshenar-paragon-creatures/"> paragon chests</a> in corpses if you have the luxury of time to open them to look. |
