Explore the Festival Zone
http://www.sylestia.com/explore/newzone/?zone=esiorsfieldsfallfestival
This zone is recommended for players using pets of Level 10 and above!
The above will take you to the Festival Zone for the Fall Festival. Please note, if you are exploring another zone in Astryl's Vale, you will have to exit the zone first. If you are in a battle, you will have to finish your battle first.
The zone is currently host to 16 new themed Sylesties, the Ryori, five Named, themed Sylesti Nests, and a grove of Mysterious Pumpkins waiting to be found! Additionally, Ichabod Egret is at it again in his pursuit of the fabled Headless Horseman. Help him on his endeavor and be rewarded handsomely for your efforts. It's rumored that very rare and limited themed Sylesties can be obtained from the Headless Horseman himself.
Roaming the Festival Zone are also a slew of Hallowed Reapers who are known to be carrying a rare undead dragon hatchling amongst other festival items.
Mojo for Hexamora
http://www.sylestia.com/festival/festival_fall/mojo_for_hexamora/
We have added a brand new feature to the Fall Festival called, "Mojo for Hexamora!" Hexamora is a Witch Doctor and a Mojo Master. Visit them and they will tell you about the art of Mojo Collecting. Even better, they will be holding a total of 48 contests throughout the entire festival where you can compete against your fellow players to see who can collect the most Mojo of a specific species over the course of an 8 hour period. Those who place in the top 20 for each contest will receive a unique Exclusive Themed Pet from Hexamora and the Title: The Hallowed.
In order to collect Mojo, you must first obtain a [Mojo Collector]. These can be found from other features of the festival, purchased from the Holiday Shop for Chocolate Coins, or purchased from the Diamond Shop for Diamonds. Once you have Mojo Collectors, visit the Fall Festival zone and enter a battle against the species of the current contest. Then, use your Mojo Collector to steal the Sylesti's Mojo! If successful, you will gain one point towards the current contest. Take an important note, the lower the Health of the target, the much higher chance the Mojo Collector has of working!
In addition to the contests, when you steal a Sylesti's Mojo, you have a small chance of obtaining an Exclusive Themed Pet of the current contest automatically! Lastly, if you collect enough Mojo, you may even become a Mojo Master yourself.
Go Trick or Treating
http://www.sylestia.com/festival/festival_fall/trick_or_treat/
Trick or Treating is back! Visit all fellow Sylestians with your best Trick or Treat. This year, Hosts can then either give you a complimentary Piece of Candy or give you a personal item (from a list of specific items) from their Inventory. As a Trick or Treater, your goal is to collect each of the 21 unique Pieces of Candy. Once you have at least one of each, you can turn them into a Handful of Candy, which can be opened for awesome rewards, including a special unique Themed Pet!
You can view the status of your candy collecting by viewing your Trick or Treating profile. Similar to last year, unique Titles are available by participating. They are as follows:
-Trickster: Trick or Treat 500 times as a Visitor
-Candy Dispenser: Hand out 500 Pieces of Candy
-The Sweet Tooth: Create 5 Handfuls of Candy

The Haunted House is now open! Purchase an entry with either Diamonds, Gold, or Chocolate Coins! You will have the opportunity to search for various hidden treasure including Pet Dyes, Mutators, Perfumes, Trait Disruptors, an unique Avatar Set, and Themed Pets!
There are three stages to the Haunted House. In the first stage, you must explore the Haunted Cemetery and find a Ghostly Key. If you find a Ghostly Key, you can unlock the next stage: the Haunted House! From there, you must sweep away the dust and cobwebs to find more hidden treasure and another Ghostly Key. If you find another key, you can unlock the final stage: the Haunted Basement! In here is where the best items are located including the Fabled Themed Pets of the Fall Contests (the Aeridini, Griffi, Lighira, Ny'vene, and Puffadore).
A brand new feature, this is definitely something you won't want to miss!
