Nightmare Harvest Has Begun: Harvest Lanterns, Phantom NPCs and Witching Night!

Pilots, the fog has rolled in! Lanterns are glowing across the maps of the Abys and NPCs are rising from the fog as phantoms: Nightmare Harvest has begun.

When?

• Saturday, October 24 – Monday, November 2, 22:00 (server time, CET)
• Witching Night: Saturday evening, October 31
• The Harvest Calendar stays open for one more week after the event, until November 9

Harvest Lanterns

Half of the bonus boxes on the maps have turned into Harvest Lanterns. What a lantern gives you:

• Credits ×3 · Ammo ×2 · Orbidium ×2
• A 10% chance of 3 extra MIN-1
• No daily limit: every lantern you collect is multiplied.

Phantom NPCs

On x-3 and deeper maps, a quarter of all NPCs spawn as green-glowing phantoms. Phantoms give +50% credits and +50% XP. Bosses, Ubers and event NPCs never turn into phantoms.

Witching Night — Saturday, October 31

• 18:00–19:30 · Haunting Hour: waves of phantoms drift in from the edges of maps x-3 to x-7. They are aggressive and drop Orbidium.
• 18:00–19:30: an extra ×2 on Harvest Lanterns
• 18:00–00:00: XP and honor +20%
• 19:30–23:30 · MEGA Happy Hour: 20% off Orbidium items in the Shop and ApexGate energy spins (25% with Premium; event packs excluded)

All Witching Night times are server time (CET).

Collect 5 lanterns or defeat 5 NPCs each day to unlock the day's step; its reward goes to your mailbox. Missing a day doesn't break the chain — you simply continue where you left off.
