Gold Shop: Halloween offers, October 19 to November 2
Pilots,
The Gold Shop has its Halloween shelf up from October 19 to November 2. Everything here is LIMITED: it disappears on November 2 at 00:00 UTC, bought or not. Here is what is on it, what it costs and exactly what you get.
The offers

|---|---|---|---|
| Hallow Box | 350 gold | 10 | 1 Hallow Box |

The Rare Cron Stone Bundle offers (10 bundles + 1 free for 6,000 gold, and the single bundle for 150 gold) are still running until October 27.
Hallow Box: what is inside
The Hallow Box is a spin box like the Rare Cron Stone Bundle: you open it from your Gold inventory, it spins and gives you one prize. Nothing in it is a dud: the worst outcome is 50 Cron Stones, and 8% of the time it gives you two more boxes to spin. It is the only way to get the Will-o'-Wisp without buying it and one of two ways to get a Premium Skin Selection during the event.
What is inside, and the odds, the same for everyone:
| Prize | Chance |
|---|---|
 50 Cron Stones | 29.9% |
 +2 Inventory Slots | 23% |
 +2 Storage Slots | 17% |
 Marketplace Storage +2 | 12% |
 2 more Hallow Boxes | 8% |
 Rare Cron Stone Bundle | 5.5% |
 Will-o'-Wisp pet | 3% |
 Premium Skin Selection | 1.3% |
 Advice +120 | 0.2% |
| 2,000 Cron Stones | 0.1% |
Everything from the box is bound to your account. The slot expansions apply on the spot, up to the usual maximum for each type. If your Gold bag is full the box is not consumed: free a slot and spin again.
You can also earn Hallow Boxes without gold: one on day 14 of the Hallow Calendar, one on page 15 of the Hallow Log with the Hallow Pass, and one from Captain Marrow for a Samhain Heart, the rarest candy.
Hallow Hordes Tickets
Every run of Hallow Hordes costs one ticket, solo or in a group. You do not need to buy them to play: there is a free ticket every day in Pilot Profile > Rewards > Daily, two more on days 7 and 13 of the Hallow Calendar, one for the Halloween PvP goal, up to five from Captain Marrow (15 Lantern Toffee each) and sometimes a few from a Hallow Box. The shop packs are for pilots who want more runs than that.
Hallow Pass
The Hallow Pass upgrades every one of the 20 pages of the Hallow Log with a second, cosmetic reward on top of the free one: a Rare Cron Stone Bundle on page 5, the Ghost Blast death effect on page 10, a Hallow Box on page 15 and the Pumpkin Iris drone skin on page 20, and a Loot Scroll (1h) on each of the other 16 pages. One per pilot, 1,500 gold. Buy it late and the pages you already claimed pay out at once, so there is no wrong moment to get it. It is used from your Gold inventory or from the Hallow Log with Redeem.
Will-o'-Wisp
A ghostly pumpkin pet that collects loot and ores like any other pet. It is tradeable, so it can also be found on the marketplace once the event is over.
Death Effects
Death Effects are new in 1.1.5: choose how your ship goes down, and every pilot who has you in sight sees it, also inside Hallow Hordes. They live in Gold Shop > Cosmetics > Death Effects, each with a Preview button to watch it before you buy, and you equip them in the new DEATH EFFECT slot of your Cosmetics view.
| Effect | Price | Available |
|---|---|---|
| Glitch | 1,500 gold | always |
| Black Hole | 1,800 gold | always |
| Pumpkin Burst | 1,100 gold | until November 2 |
| Ghost Blast | Hallow Pass, page 10 | until November 2 |
- Glitch: your ship freezes, breaks into corrupted pixels and switches off like an old screen.
- Black Hole: your ship collapses into a black hole that bends the light around it, then snaps shut.
- Pumpkin Burst: a carved pumpkin rises from the flames of your wreck, lights up and bursts.
- Ghost Blast: screaming spectral ghosts with long ectoplasm tails burst out of your wreck and fade into mist.
Each effect has its own sound. Death effects are bound to your account and cannot be traded or melted.
Free inventory slots: Inventory Expansion missions
Not everything that grows your backpack is in the shop. 1.1.5 adds a new section in Missions with 8 Inventory Expansion missions, from level 5 to level 45. Finish one to unlock the next; each gives a little XP and honor plus a +1 Inventory Slot. That is 8 free slots over a pilot's career, on top of the +2 Inventory, Storage and Marketplace Storage slots that can drop from a Hallow Box.
Good hunting, and happy Halloween.
