Halloween Cubies

Special Halloween blueprints were available during the Coin Hunt World Halloween Event 2021. Special Resources were dropping from Halloween themed resource boxes and from cauldrons that spawned during the event. In these cauldrons, you had a chance of getting the common and rare blueprints from last year but under the right circumstances you could get two brand new epic blueprints - the Witch and the Vampire Black Cat.

During the event this year, Cubie Blueprints were only dropping from Cauldrons!

How Could I Get These Blueprints?

During this year's event, the only way to get the Halloween Cubie Blueprints was from Cauldrons.

• Note that if you have ever received the common or rare blueprints, either from obtaining them in a previous Halloween Event or by purchasing them from the Auction House, you could not receive them again.

New Mechanics: Cauldrons

When a vault was successfully solved, there was a small chance that a Cauldron could spawn. When this happened, you received a notification that a Cauldron had spawned and a sonar radar appeared on your screen to help guide you to the location of the Cauldron. The sonar radar mechanic is similar to the sonar radar used for Buddy Quests and for Monoliths. It was later announced that you had to hunt at low speed for 15 minutes while opening vaults to start spawing cauldrons. Also you had to wear the Halloween Cubies to be able to open the Rare and Epic cauldrons.

Cauldrons are a new mechanic in the game for the Halloween Event 2021, and a returning one for Halloween Event 2022. To interact with the Cauldron, the user must approach the location, "Stir the Stew" by drawing circles in the cauldron animation, deposit 1 key when prompted, and the cauldron will then release a Halloween Resource Box. You cannot interact with the same cauldron more than once. All players can use a cauldron, regardless of who spawned it. The Halloween resource box you receive could contain a Halloween Event 2021 blueprint and/or any Halloween resource (including previous year's "exclusive" resources).

Cauldrons operate similarly to how the Monoliths did in the Elemental Invasion Event. Unlike in that event, cauldrons last for 8 hours (except during Phase 1 when Common Cauldrons lasted for 1 hour), and the Vault that the cauldron replaced is unavailable to all players during that period.

Spawning a Cauldron

• After solving a normal vault, there is a chance a cauldron may spawn. If spawned, the user will see the message, "An unusual smell is hitting your nostrils... looks like it's coming from somewhere close. Maybe you should go investigate!" Following the radar-like ping will lead you to the cauldron. The colour of the ping corresponds to the rarity of the cauldron: yellow for Common Cauldrons, red for Rare Cauldrons, and purple for Epic Cauldrons. Any player can use any cauldron, regardless of who spawned it, however only the player responsible for spawning it will see the directional pings.

• Any cauldron type can spawn from any vault type, meaning you can get an Epic Cauldron from a Blue Vault.

• You cannot cause a cauldron to spawn until the previous one you spawned disappears, as there is a cool down time for each player.

• The cauldron level is affected by the cubie the player spawning it is wearing. Wearing a non-Halloween Cubie will spawn only the Common Cauldron. Wearing the common Halloween Cubie (the Pumpkin Cubie) will allow the possibility of spawning a Rare or Common Cauldron. Wearing the Rare or Epic Halloween Cubies (i.e. Mummy Cubie, Monster Cubie, Vampire Cubie, or Witch Cubie) will allow for the spawning of an Epic, Rare, or Common Cauldron.

• The spawn rate and level of cauldron is also affected by average speed. Illusionweaver alluded on the Discord that walkers have an advantage in this event. On 11/1/2021 when "Phase 3" started, Illusionweaver confirmed that more "nimble" hunters will see better cauldron spawn rates. He confirmed nimble as "walking/cycling/skateboarding/unicyling/skating/jogging/langlaufing”. On 11/3/2021 Illusionweaver confirmed that walking status is recognized after 15 minutes of walking and opening Vaults or Keybooths. He further confirmed that while anyone can spawn a Common Cauldron, those cycling can spawn Rare or Common Cauldrons, and those walking can spawn Epic, Rare, or Common Cauldrons.

Interacting with a Cauldron

• To interact with the Cauldron, the user must approach the location as one would a Vault or Keybooth. You need to be within 30 metres of a cauldron in order to interact with it.

• Any cubie type may interact with a Common Cauldron.

• To interact with a Rare Cauldron, you must be wearing at minimum a Common Halloween Cubie (the Pumpkin Cubie).

• To interact with an Epic Cauldron you must be wearing a Rare or Epic Halloween Cubie (i.e. Mummy Cubie, Monster Cubie, Vampire Cubie, or Witch Cubie).

• All players can interact with any cauldron, regardless of who spawned it.

• The user must "Stir the Stew" by drawing circles in the cauldron animation.

• The user is then prompted to deposit 1 key when prompted, one Blue Key for a Common Cauldron, one Green Key for a Rare Cauldron, a Yellow Key for a Epic Cauldron.

Halloween Resources

• Cauldrons give Halloween Resource Boxes containing a chance at a Halloween blueprint and a Halloween resource. The resources given from the cauldrons are Witches Hats, Magical Fabric, and Bottle of Blood.

• Common Cauldrons drop 5 Magical Fabric or 5 Bottle of Blood or 1 Witches Hat (and the chance for a Pumpkin Cubie Blueprint).

• Rare Cauldrons drop 25 Magical Fabric or 25 Bottle of Blood or 2 Witches Hats, and a chance for a Mummy Cubie or Monster Cubie Blueprint. (Note the first rare cauldron opened guarantees one of these rare Halloween blueprints, afterwards it is chance if it will reward a player with the other blueprint).

• Epic Cauldrons drop 50 Magical Fabric or 50 Bottle of Blood or 3 Witches Hats, and a chance at the Witch Cubie Blueprint. If a player has all 9 Cat Cubies, they can sacrifice them all for the Black Cat Cubie Blueprint.

Event Progression

• The event started in Phase 1. Only common Cauldrons spawned at that time. Common Cauldrons disappeared after 1hour. Players were encouraged to wear Pumpkin Cubies to continue the progression.

• Once enough players were wearing their Pumpkin Cubies, the event moved into Phase 2 about 15 hours after the event started. In Phase 2, a player has a chance to spawn a Rare Cauldron as well as Common Cauldrons, but they must currently be wearing a Pumpkin Cubie for that to happen. In Phase 2, a Pumpkin blueprint is guaranteed as the first drop from a Common Cauldron.

• Phase 3 caused Pumpkin Seeds to drop in increments of 10 (versus the previous 5), gave a bonus chance to spawn a Cauldron to hunters who are walking, and caused Rare Cauldrons to spawn at a higher rate to walking hunters. Players were encouraged to wear the Monster Cubie and Mummy Cubie to continue the event progress.

• Phase 4 caused Pumpkin Seeds to drop in batches of 15, Chunks of Flesh, Rusty Bolts, and Dusty Rags to drop in batches of 10, and allowed for Epic Cauldrons to spawn only for nimble hunters (i.e. walkers). Distance to spawned Cauldrons depends on your speed, with walkers spawning Cauldrons the closest (500-1000 meters), cyclists spawning cauldrons further, and those in vehicles even further. This phase also caused the Witches Hat resource to increase in amount dropped (Common Cauldrons may drop 1, Rare Cauldrons may drop 2, Epic Cauldrons may drop 3). Furthermore, this phase increased the bonus to walking hunters by increasing the boost to cauldron spawn Rare overall for walkers.

Red Vault

In cities that had operational Yellow Vaults, a random vault was be boosted during the event to the Red Vault tier. Once announced, red vaults were only available for up to 48 hours. Once a player successfully solved a red vault, a 3 hour countdown began. At the end of 3 hours, the red vault reverted to a yellow vault, and continued every 3 hours to revert to the next tier down until back to its original tier.

Purple Vault

For the Coin Hunt World Halloween Event 2021, it was announced that there was a Purple Vault somewhere in Canada. The only clue provided was that it is somewhere where the views are magnificient. On October 30, 2021 at 15:30 EST, player galloots found the location of this Purple Vault in Niagara Falls, Canada. However, nobody has opened and solved the vault.
