The new time-restricted Quest is the means by which to obtain the Halloween Bulbs that are the third material required to complete the Halloween Stage. You will obtain one from each of the first eight parts of the Quest. As usual, there is a Collections Mission in tandem with a traditional Quest sequence of 16 parts. At the end of Spooky Halloween 8, you will receive a special Decoration for your original Farm in the form of the Vampire Scarecrow. At the end of the final step, Spooky Halloween 16, you will receive a wonderful Vampire Castle Decoration for your Island Farm. You will need access to the Island to complete the last half of the Quest.
Update on 28 Ocrober:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
As of today the Halloween Hook no longer is available when fishing. You can purchase materials for the Jack O'Lantern machine randomly in the Yellow Mystron Mystery Shop. The cost always is 7 Yellow Mystrons but the amount received depends on the specific material offered as follows:
You will obtain 7 Ghost Candles
You will obtain 3 Dracula Wings
You will obtain 1 Witch Cauldron (I believe)
NOTE ABOUT ISLAND TASKS
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
This is a point of strategy actually for future time-restricted Missions. Many of us have noticed the increasing difficulty level of Island tasks in this Missions. This one requires 3 Star Mastery of the Pie Machine to make Pumpkin Pies. When the Island tasks first were added to the time-restricted Quests, they did not require any Mastery of the Island Machines for the most part. Now you are likely to find a task that requires full Mastery of an Island Machine. Dev Point level may become more significant as well in terms of the Crops that will be included in the future in this Missions. My advice, therefore is to make a concerted attempt to gain as much Mastery as possible of every Island Machine and to increase your Dev Point totals as quickly as possible if you are determined to complete these Quests to obtain the final Island Decoration. The cost of skipping the task of making 30 Pumpkin Pies here is 30 RC, a fair amount of RC. Pumpkin Pies cannot be made without full Mastery of the Pumpkin Machine.
I hope that, at some point, Seaside will follow the example of the original Family Farm which has different tasks for players of lower levels from the ones given to the high level players. This would be more fair than expecting all farmers to have the same Mastery level on the Island.
Now, I did post a question to my Family Farm Seaside Freyashawk Group on Facebook to ask what players intend to do if they do not have the 3 Star Pie Machine Mastery. Would they opt to spend 30 RC for the chance to have the Vampire's Castle? I love castles myself and when one considers that there are other Decorations in the Market that cost 20 RC and 25 RC as well as the second Bird Home Base that costs a whopping 40 RC, who is to judge that the Vampire's Castle is not worth 30 RC to players who haven't a chance of obtaining the required Mastery before the end of the Quest? It is a personal matter of judgment.
I would like to advise players, however, that there are OTHER methods of obtaining these Final Rewards now if you cannot complete the Mission. They are sold randomly in the Blue Mystron Mystery Shop. You do need to complete the ENTIRE Reward Path for the Order Board before you will be able to begin earning any Blue Mystrons. Each task on the Order Board then will be worth 1 Blue Mystron. The Decorations sold in the Blue Mystron Mystery Shop cost 300 Blue Mystrons each so it is a slow process at best to earn sufficient to purchase even one Decoration but it gives players who have missed special Decorations that they particularly like some hope for the future.
The Yellow Mystron Mystery Shop does sell decorations randomly as well but they never are Decorations that constituted final Rewards.
Halloween Hook
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Spooky Halloween Quest requires use both of some of the items caught using the Halloween Hook as well as the temporary Crop, the Halloween Pumpkin. Note that the Halloween Hook is available only for a few more days as is the Halloween Pumpkin. Recipes in the Kitchen from the past that use these items have been restored. You will need to make Cooked Dishes using these items for this Quest as well as for one of the Tasks that will give you the final Material for the Stage in the form of Speakers. Do not be too quick, therefore to sell your catches. In particular, save some of the Vampire Clams and some of the Skeleton Fish. You will need 15 of the Skeleton Fish for one of the Weekly Tasks (and 4th Stage Material) apart from those needed for the Spooky Halloween Mission.
The Halloween Hook requires 125 Bait per use. I have listed some suggestions for good Bait trades elsewhere, but will add a couple here as well. The amount that an Item is worth in terms of trade for bait usually depends on the value of the item or, in the case of products or cooked dishes, value of items as well as number of ingredients used. I suggest always that players refrain from using 'Basic' dishes that are required to cook other Dishes and instead try to use single ingredient Items whenever possible.
Caramel is a great item as it is a single ingredient item that gives 93 Bait.
The Cakes are not single ingredient items but usually are not needed as ingredients:
Love Cake: 155 Bait
Lemon Cake: 95 Bait
Cooking Wine is another favourite with players. It requires only two ingredients:
Cooking Wine: 328 Bait
Peach Cobbler has one of the highest values but is very labour intensive.
Note that, although you cannot use the raw Halloween catches as Bait, you can convert a couple of them into Cooked Dishes and then use them. If you have been fishing diligently with the Halloween Hook since its release, you should have more than sufficient for the following Quest tasks as well as for some Bait.
Here are the Halloween Recipes that use the Halloween Pumpkin and Halloween seafood:
Halloween Pumpkin Soup: 2 Halloween Pumpkins, 1 Milk
Spooky Pasta: 1 Pasta, 2 Vampire Clams
Skeleton Fish Chips: 1 Skeleton Fish, 1 Soft Dough
If you do not have access to the Island and cannot hope to complete Parts 9 through 16 of the Mission, you will not need the Skeleton Fish or Vampire Clams for the Mission tasks as they appear in the last half of the Mission. You will still need 15 Skeleton Fish later for the Weekly Task.
Note that Halloween Pumpkin Soup, requiring 2 Halloween Pumpkins and 1 Milk makes 61 Bait. This is its best use, in my view.

The Reward for the Collections Missionn is another Collectable, which means you will not find it in the Market while the Quest is active.
