The Curse of Al Howin

From Dofus

The Curse of Al Howin is a Dofus Halloween event, first held in October 2006. Due to a serious item drop bug it ended early, but returned in 2007, 2008 and 2009.


[edit] Description

During the event Jack O'Gobballs and Jack O'Tofus spawn in the normal spots of Gobballs and Tofus.

Whenever you entered a battle there was a chance that you would obtain a Mutation item and become a Jack O'Gobball or Jack O'Tofu depending what you fought. The spell was lifted by successfully agressing a normal character; after battle the character would be restored to their normal self. In the 2007 to 2009 versions, you have to enter two fights with monsters, or win two fights against players, to regain your normal sprite. The Mutation Item is 100% drop without the headgear, and 0% drop with it in your inventory.

In 2006, each account was given a Pumpkwin Head gear. A helmet of the same name was also a drop from the monsters and had a durability ranging from 10 to 100. Using the helmets would protect you from The Curse of Al Howin. The 2007 to 2009 versions have no durabilty, they also were not given out, so players had to kill a Jack O'Gobball or Jack O'Tofu to recieve the Pumpkwin Head as well as the mutation.

In 2009, Jack O'Tofus dropped the Pumpkwin Head, but not the transformation.
