Overview

Halloween Event Origin (HEO) Enhancements are all-unique and attuned enhancements. There is one damage set, one sleep set, one fear set, and two new enhancement types introduces one resurrect set and one universal debuff set for a total of 5 sets. Standard Halloween enhancements grant set bonuses that are roughly equivalent to rare enhancement sets, while superior Halloween enhancements grant set bonuses that are roughly equivalent to very rare enhancement sets. Each standard enhancement has a level 10 minimum requirement, but as an attuned enhancement, the enhancement portion will increase as the character's level increases. The enhancement portion is affected by exemplar as normal. Set bonuses for standard enhancements will operate down to level 7.

Note that Halloween enhancements are not Inventions: they do not need to be crafted. Once claimed from the "Character Item" tab of the Email Window, they appear in the character's enhancement tray and are ready to be slotted.

Players can both trade and email all Halloween enhancements.

Availability

Halloween enhancements are available from the following sources:

Superior Enhancements

Enhancement catalysts can be applied to the standard enhancements to boost them to "Superior" versions with higher enhancement values and bigger set bonuses. However, catalyzing a Halloween enhancement will also increase the minimum level requirement to 50, similar to very rare (purple) enhancements. To catalyze a whole standard set into a superior set, a player must have six enhancement catalysts, as each piece must be catalyzed separately.

Standard and superior enhancements of the same type are mutually exclusive; a character cannot slot both Vampire's Bite: Accuracy/Damage and Superior Vampire's Bite: Accuracy/Damage. This means that set bonuses are limited; a character can get the first and second set bonuses twice (by slotting three standard pieces and three superior pieces), or the first set bonus twice and the second and third set bonus once (by slotting two and four pieces), but cannot get the third, fourth, and fifth bonuses from both sets. Note that the set bonuses for the standard and superior versions are different; the superior version grants higher bonuses.

Enhancement Listing

The following table lists each Halloween Enhancement set, and includes the bonus that the special enhancement grants. The final column is the average times per minute the proc chance has to fire (Procs Per Minute, or PPM); if nothing is listed, it functions more like a global or always fires.

Note that damage numbers are derived from Level 50 characters. Lower level characters will see lower numbers.
