As everyone has probably noticed, the Cackling Crone is up to her usual tricks this year.

All the collection items should be obtainable now (there were problems with some of the uncommon drops yesterday). So if you didn't get the achievement last year, now's your chance.

We'll plan on keeping this achievement available for a few weeks.

BOO!

Thank You!!

Hi Ben,

I'm sure you will check back on this thread when its time to turn off the apples, so just a reminder in case you forgotten on the below:

Long time no me, eh?

I fixed that funny looking bug that popped up now and again on harder mysteries where statues sometimes appeared in trapdoors. Unfortunately there was no way to get the motives from the statues, so the bug had the potential to block a case.

I'm getting a bigger update ready as well, that will include some new gameplay. This update will include a few features that have been in progress for quite awhile, so I'm excited to finally get them out. I'm hoping to have this out in the next couple weeks.

In the meantime - Happy Sleuthing!

We're waiting for the updates. Thank you very much for your kind consideration. ^_^

Thank you Ben,
I know you are busy, but I am looking forward to the updates!

hi

For how long are the apples going to be active?

Thank you!

Why is it so difficult to get a #5 scarecrow favor drop? I yet too see it fall on favors no matter what case level we do. The hat, shoes, and pumpkin seem to be the only drops.

Hi Ben,

Will we be getting the Halloween Trick or Treat Bag this year? In case you didn't notice, this bag also drop from favors (common drop), however we will only know whether it will turn out to be a:

a) Halloween Treat

or

b) Halloween Trick
http://shades.playsleuth.com/item/item.spy?id=258296

after Halloween is over. Err... I mean after the apples are removed.

Hi Ben,

Remember to let us know exactly when the apples will be removed yeah... and thank you very much.

Could be wrong here, but is the game dropping Goldfish instead of the No.5 Scarecrow Item?

@TLee,

The Admin must have done something to make it very difficult to get, I can remember last year it was easy to complete the scarecrow. I do recall doing IH level favors to get most of the collection completed. This year I think we had around 11 pumpkins, 6 boots, and 5 hats, no shirt yet. Even with 4 different subbed people playing still nothing.

Hi all,

I've upp'd the drop rate for Collection #5. This is the one that you can only get by doing favors for the Crone, so hopefully folks will have a chance to finish the collection.

I'll keep the quest up at least through the 17th.

Good luck!
