Treat Staff II  

Ok, I got this staff by equipping the Trick Staff II. I had no other event item on. I traded Ginger Cookies to a NPC that has never given me an item.

There might be more ways to obtain this but this is how I got it.

I just wanted to clear up all the confusion in getting *heads and *staves.

First off start off with no festival gear on. Including witch hats and pitchforks.

Start off with a couple of stacks of an sweets that stacks to 99. ie cinna cookies/ gob choco.
Get the cookies from the carnival guys. or AH.

Then you want to find a shopkeeper/guild NPC that has a costume on. Start trading a sweet over and over. The first time you do you will get a costume. Just take it off, and trade again. The "thank you..." message is only for the costume. It isn't for the random gift items. Keep trading the same treat until you get an item.

Hopefully you get a HQ item. ie Pumpkinhead 2/ Trick staff 2. If you don't just keep it unequiped and trade with another NPC until you get one.

I have also found that the NPCs tend to give them in a particular order. ie staff, head, staff, head.

Once you get a HQ item, equip it. and find another costume(shop/guild) NPC. Then start trading him treats. you should get the next pumpkin/trick item. equip it.

Then find another NPC and start trading. you should get the Treat Staff/Horror head item of the same quality.

If you got the HQ(trick staff 2) and want the NQ(trick staff 1) items too. then just unequip that slot. you might get the NQ item. It seems to me to be random. I got two trick staff 2s.

Hope this helps.

for those that dont know enchantment items that have charges 1/1 ARE INFINITE USES you dont need recharge and its always the 5day wait, im trying to get it right now, still needing the bloody trick staff II but im working on them, still just remember, things with 1/1 charges u can use INFINITE number of times, u can use 10,000 times and still wont run outa charges :)

Here is a perfect way to get stuff (They mainly only accept Sweets) But this only works if your in SanD'Oria and thier in 1st on Region info so go to South SanD'Oria and near the AH there'll be a carnival talk to the guy in the carnival that isn't doing anything he gives you cookies for 10gil each i think (really cheap) take those and give them to the trick or treaters

Treat Staff II was an item distributed by NPCs during the Halloween celebration. NPCs in Windurst, Bastok, and San D'Oria were "dressed up" for the holidays in "mob" outfits -- as in, there were bogys or wights standing where normal NPCs should have been. In some places, ghost NPCs (called "Trick Ghost", "Trick Wight", and so on) would run slowly around town.

Trading "sweets" (honey, chocolate, fruits -- anything sweet and edible) to these NPCs resulted, usually, in being given a "festive costume" -- your character model would temporarily change to that of a bogy, wight, undead doggie, quadav, yagudo, etc. You could run around like that and theoretically scare people until they caught on.

Occasionally the dressed-up NPCs handed out items, to those who gave them sufficient amounts of candy (the frequency seems to be random, as is the item given). Usually you would get a Jack-O-Lantern, a food item which gave CHR -10 for about 30 minutes. Occasionally you would get Pumpkin Heads, Pumpkin Head IIs, Horror Heads, Horror Head IIs, Trick Staffs, Treat Staffs, Trick Staff IIs or Treat Staff II. You could give the candy to every NPC you saw in a rotation, or just keep giving the candy to the same mob. Eventually (a VERY long time in some cases) you would receive one of everything.

Of course, the price of candy skyrocketed almost instantly once people worked out what they had to trade to the NPCs. However, there is a cheap workaround. In each town there is a vendor who sells something sweet (usually fruit) for cheap. In Windurst, a Taru near the Saruta exit from Windurst Waters sells Saruta Oranges for about 30 gil each. In San D'Oria, they used San D'Orian Grapes (I think). Faerie Apples were also popular. You could just buy ten or twenty stacks of the things and start trading away.

I found it helpful to make a macro:

/item "Saruta Orange" <t>

Just firing the macro while targeting a dressed up NPC automatically handed them the item. This made mass trading a lot faster!

You may have to keep trading for a very long time, but eventually you will get everything. Be sure to keep an empty slot in your inventory to catch incoming items, otherwise you will be sorely disappointed when you receive the message "Cannot obtain Treat Staff II. Your inventory is full."!

The Treat Staff II appears to be a +1 version of Trick Staff II, which has only 10 charges of "Warp" and then (as far as I know) becomes just a pretty black stick. Treat Staff II has an infinite charge -- no matter how many times you use it, it always says it has 1/1 charges. You can keep using it forever.

To use Treat Staff II, simply equip it in your weapon slot (it's level 2, all jobs) and wait 30 seconds for it to "activate". Open your item list and the staff's name will have turned blue, indicating it is ready for use. "Use" the staff as you would use a piece of food or a crystal. You will be automatically warped to your home point ("Soappuppy uses a Treat Staff II.")

The recast timer on this bad boy is FIVE RL DAYS -- you can warp home with the staff only once every 120 Real Life hours. However, the enchantment never wears off, and you can use this staff forever, unlike the Trick Staff II, which has only 10 warps in it and that's it. (I got a Treat Staff II in the last Halloween event, and have tried it out. Once used, the timer starts a long countdown of 120 RL hours, and the staff still says 1/1 charges.)

ALL the items given out by the NPCs (except the Jack-O-Lantern) are Rare/Ex, and cannot be traded or sold. You'll have to wait til next Halloween to get one.

Just so everyone knows, you GET the staff by trading fruits/sweets to an NPC. I used fruits because I am cheep, and I ended up getting all four staves and the horror helm. So... that being said, you know how to get it, right?

Furthermore, I used to staff just to test it out. It never runs out of charges. You must wait the agonizing 120 hours (5 days) real time to use it! But it is a free warp, so I am definately not complaining...

Any questions /tell Antame if your on Unicorn. If your not on Unicorn, I guess you could respond to this, but most likely I won't respond ^^

In my last message i meant Treat Staff II...the Trick Staff II has only 10 warps on it...my mistake

how do you recharge items? i have trick staff II but i used it so i'm 9/10 just wondering how i recharge it back to 10/10

Can someone tell me how to get this, please... ; ;

i got one :D:D:D:D:D:D:D everyone in bastok hates me now cuz i was first since the event started >:D

i really really really hope this can be recharged ^^.if it can be recharged i will be so happy ^^.
