The door between the world of the living and the dead has opened, unleashing a horde of ghosts and ghouls upon Maple World! Hunt them down to restore peace to Maple World (and earn spooky rewards along the way) in our Ghoulbusters event!

To start hunting ghouls, players over Lv. 33 must first accept the "[Halloween] Ghoulbusters" quest from the star event notifier on the left side of the screen. Then, you'll start to encounter ghouls while you're out hunting monsters within your level range (20 levels below and 20 levels above)!

There are three different types of ghouls, each of which gives out a different reward once you defeat 10 of them:

[Updated October 17] The Pumpkin Zombie rewards description has been updated to clarify that players can win up to 100 million, 500 million, and 1 billion mesos. 

• Frankenbalrogs give out EXP based on your level. The 10th and 20th gifts grant extra EXP! 
• Pumpkin Zombies give out mesos in amounts of up to 100 million, 500 million, and 1 billion mesos!
  
• Halloween Pumpkins give out 3 Ghost Coins! The 10th gift gives out 15 Ghost Coins, and the 20th gift gives out 30 Ghost Coins!

To receive your Ghoulbusters rewards, select the quest "[Halloween] Let's Collect Ghosts!" from the star event notifier on the left side of the screen. You can claim rewards 20 times from each type of monster per day (the daily reward limit count resets at midnight UTC each day).

You can also take the Ghost Coins earned from Halloween Pumpkins to NPC Hallowkitty to exchange them for exclusive rewards! NPC Hallowkitty is located in Henesys, Leafre, and Nameless Town, and is open for business at the following times:
