Each year since 2006 for a short period in Autmn saying ‘Trick or Treat’ will give a targeting cursor. Targeting an NPC will give a ‘trick’ or a ‘treat’. Most treats are candy, tricks have varied from year to year but can involve teleportation to a different location, temporary re-coloring of clothing or an ‘evil twin’ stealing your candy.
At this time the usual begging responses are changed for more seasonal ones, including:
TRICK!
That doesn’t appear to have any more candy.
Oooooh, aren’t you cute!!
Want something really special? Of course you do!
Here you go! Enjoy!
All right…This better not spoil your dinner!
Rare items only available to GM beggars have included spider webs, miniature guillotine and iron maiden, skulls on a pike, a skeletal torso and head, a chair in a ghost costume, developers’ heads on spikes. Items that have been added more recently can be found listed here: https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/items/holiday-gifts/halloween-gifts/
From 2026 a new dimension has been added to this activity. In addition to the established rewards you now have a chance to receive different styles of Candy Buckets when Trick-or-Treating, which can be turned in to a new vendor to purchase rewards.
Luck will influence your chances of getting candy currency when Trick-or-Treating. Screaming Sally, near the bank in Umbra, offers rewards for candy buckets obtained.
