The Halloween events in MapleStory Classic World opened on October 28, 2026 at 12:00 AM UTC. They run until November 18, 2026 at 11:59 PM UTC. This is per mapleclassic.wiki, which cites a Nexon official post. Nexon first announced the events in its Grand Launch release notes.
No client update came with the opening. The wiki states that the NPC, quests, monster and items were already in the client, and the server switched them on at the start date. Players do not need to download anything new for this event.
What is confirmed
Start: October 28, 2026, 12:00 AM UTC.
End: November 18, 2026, 11:59 PM UTC.
Minimum level: 10 for the quest and for the Orange Slime drops.
Patch: none; the content was already in the client.
The Halloween Candies quest
Characters of level 10 or higher can take the Halloween Candies quest from Malady. According to the wiki, she is found in Henesys and in Kerning City. The wiki says monsters have made off with her candy.
Monsters of level 10 and above drop Halloween Candies, the quest item. Malady asks for 100 of them. The wiki lists the quest as available until November 18.
The hidden mission
Finishing Halloween Candies unlocks a hidden mission called Trick or Treat! The wiki says the character must share the candy with three children who spend Halloween alone somewhere on Victoria Island. The wiki does not list where the children are, so this article does not name locations.
The reward is a Pumpkin Basket. The mission is available only after Halloween Candies, and only until November 18, per the wiki.
Orange Slimes in four towns
For the length of the event, the wiki says Orange Slimes appear in Henesys, Ellinia, Kerning City and Perion. Characters of level 10 or higher who defeat an Orange Slime may receive one of the following drops:
Halloween Candies: cannot be traded and expire when the event ends.
Red Malady's Candy: restores 600 HP.
Blue Malady's Candy: restores 450 MP.
Green Malady's Candy: restores 300 HP and 300 MP.
The wiki states that the three Malady's Candies can be traded and do not expire. The Halloween Candies are different. Any that remain after November 18 will expire, so the quest should be finished before the end date.
The wiki does not give drop rates for the Orange Slime items. This article does not estimate them.
What it changes this week
A player at level 10 or higher can now start the quest in Henesys or Kerning City. Because monsters of level 10 and above drop the quest item, normal training can count toward the 100 candies. The wiki does not say how many hours that takes, and that has not been confirmed.
The Orange Slimes add a second source of candies. They also drop the three Malady's Candies, which are tradable recovery items with fixed HP and MP values. Whether they will be worth using over regular potions has not been announced; that would be a judgment for players to make.
The event does not add any new maps or job content. Launch content is still Maple Island and Victoria Island, with first and second job only.
Where the information comes from
The dates and event outline come from the Nexon post as summarized by mapleclassic.wiki. The in-game numbers, including the 100 candy requirement and the HP and MP values, come from the wiki. Nexon remains the authority on dates. Check the official channels if the schedule changes.
