The Pumpkin Basket is one of the special rewards available during the Halloween event in MapleStory Classic World. Unlike ordinary monster drops, obtaining this weapon requires completing a short quest chain and finding three hidden children across Victoria Island. The first part is relatively simple, but the follow-up quest can take longer if you do not know where to look.
If you want to collect the Pumpkin Basket before the event ends, you will need to prepare for some monster farming and a little exploration. Here is how to complete both quests, find all three children, and claim your Halloween reward.
How to Start the Pumpkin Basket Quest
The quest chain begins with Malady, who can be found in Henesys or Kerning City. Your character must be at least Level 10 to participate.
Speak with Malady and accept the [Event] Halloween Candies quest. She will ask you to recover 100 Halloween Candies that have been taken by monsters.
You do not need to visit a special event dungeon to collect them. Monsters at Level 10 or higher have a chance to drop Halloween Candies, so you can farm them while gaining experience.
How to Collect 100 Halloween Candies
The first objective is straightforward: defeat eligible monsters until you have collected 100 Halloween Candies.
For lower-level characters, Ribbon Pigs, Dark Stumps, Octopuses, and Green Mushrooms are worth considering. Choose monsters that you can defeat quickly rather than traveling to difficult areas simply to complete the quest.
Here are a few tips to make farming easier:
Accept the Halloween Candies quest before starting your farming session.
Hunt monsters that are Level 10 or higher.
Keep enough inventory space for the candy drops.
Choose a training map with convenient monster spawns.
Avoid spending too much time fighting enemies that are difficult for your current level.
The candies are untradeable, so you must collect all 100 yourself. You can also defeat the event Orange Slimes appearing in Henesys, Ellinia, Kerning City, and Perion for additional Halloween-related drops.
Once you have collected everything, return to Malady and complete the first quest.
How to Find All Three Children in Trick or Treat!
After handing over the 100 Halloween Candies, speak with Malady again. She will unlock the hidden follow-up quest called [Event] Trick or Treat!
This mission requires you to deliver three candy pouches to children hiding in different locations around Victoria Island.
- Anne – The Hill East of Henesys
Anne is located on The Hill East of Henesys. Leave Henesys through the nearby exit and enter the hill map. Look around the elevated section for Anne and talk to her to deliver the first pouch.
- Estelle – The Field South of Ellinia
Next, travel toward Ellinia and find The Field South of Ellinia. Estelle is waiting in this open area. Speak with her to hand over the second candy pouch.
- Ronnie – The Tree Tunnel At the Forest Up North
The final child is Ronnie, who can be found inside The Tree Tunnel At the Forest Up North. Travel through the northern forest maps near Ellinia until you reach the tunnel. Look for Ronnie around the elevated middle section and deliver the last pouch.
After visiting all three children, return to Malady in Henesys or Kerning City to complete the hidden quest.
What Does the Pumpkin Basket Do?
Completing Trick or Treat! rewards you with the Pumpkin Basket, a Halloween-themed one-handed sword.
Its current stats include:
Weapon Attack: +27
Speed: +3
Attack Speed: Fast
Upgrade Slots: 7
Required Level: 10
The weapon can be used by all jobs and traded between players within the same world. It is a useful early-game weapon, particularly for characters that can benefit from one-handed swords.
Final Tips Before the Halloween Event Ends
The Halloween event runs from October 28 through November 18, 2026. Make sure you finish both quests before the deadline, as Halloween Candies will expire when the event ends.
You should also keep some MapleStory Classic World Mesos available fmeor traveling between towns. Planning your route from Henesys toward Ellinia can save unnecessary trips and make the three-child mission much quicker.
The Pumpkin Basket is a limited-time reward worth collecting, especially for players who enjoy seasonal items and early-game equipment. Whether you earn your currency through monster farming or choose to buy MS Classic World Mesos, remember that you do not need expensive equipment to complete this quest. Reach Level 10, collect the 100 candies, find Anne, Estelle, and Ronnie, and return to Malady to claim your reward.
