Quick answer: In the final days of 99 Nights in the Forest’s 2026 Trick or Treat Part 1 event, prioritize the objectives that also help you earn Candy: collect costume pieces, equip them before visiting decorated houses at night, and finish the available Halloween badges. Carving pumpkins is another listed event objective. Before spending Candy, check Happy’s live shop and choose a specific reward rather than farming blindly.

The current event listing gives Trick or Treat Part 1 an end time of October 24, 2026, at 12:00 UTC (8:00 a.m. EDT / 5:00 a.m. PDT). That is the event-window deadline, not a guarantee that every item or shop reward disappears at the exact same moment. Always use the timer shown inside your live game when one is available.
Reward priority: what should you do first?
There is no verified public list proving that every Halloween objective gives a fixed Candy payout in every server. The ranking below is based on how directly each activity supports current event progression—not on invented reward totals.
- Get a usable costume and start earning Candy. Current event guides describe costume pieces appearing in Costume Boxes, chests, and some enemy drops. Use a Costume Closet to equip what you find, then visit decorated houses at night. A matching outfit is reported to improve Candy earnings, so compare your counter after a run.
- Complete the three listed Halloween badges. Current update coverage lists Candy Collecting (collect your first Candy), Carving (carve a pumpkin), and Costuming (trick-or-treat in a full matching costume). Check the in-game badge panel for exact progress and any reward details shown in your version.
- Use the Pumpkin Carving Station if you have not completed Carving. Bring a pumpkin to the station, choose a face, and take the jack-o’-lantern back to camp. It is a clear, specific objective and can be completed while you are already exploring.
- Inspect Happy’s Halloween shop before spending. Decide which reward you want, read its current price, and check for a clock or expiry marker. Some current guides report special cosmetics and pets in the shop, but stock and prices can change; the live shop is the final check.
- Consider the Fancy Dressed class only after checking your target reward. Current update coverage lists its cost as 30 Candy and says leveling it improves costume-piece drops, treat chances, and Candy earnings. That may help a player who plans to keep farming, but it is not automatically the best purchase for someone who only wants one specific cosmetic.
Which quest gives the best value for your time?
1. Costuming: the best first step for repeated Candy runs
Costuming is a strong early priority because it teaches the loop you will repeat: collect outfit pieces, equip them, and visit decorated houses at night. You do not need to assume that every costume piece is equally useful. Try the pieces you already have, then compare the Candy counter before and after a short route. If a full matching set improves the result in your server, finish the set before committing to a long farming session.
2. Candy Collecting: an easy milestone, not a reason to stop
The listed objective is simple: collect your first Candy. It is a useful milestone for confirming that the event loop is working, but do not confuse completing the badge objective with finishing the whole event. After it unlocks, keep your attention on the shop reward you actually want and the available objectives that move you toward it.
3. Carving: a reliable objective when you find a pumpkin
The update notes describe bringing a pumpkin to a Pumpkin Carving Station, choosing a face, and taking the carved pumpkin back to camp. If you are already passing a station, completing this objective is sensible. Avoid making a long detour solely because an old video claims a particular pumpkin count or bonus: current public reports do not establish a universal, guaranteed payout for every server.
How to farm Candy without wasting the last few days
- Collect costume pieces while travelling. Search chests and Costume Boxes during normal exploration instead of abandoning a safe route for every possible drop.
- Equip the best set you have before nightfall. Use the Costume Closet and test whether a matching outfit improves your payout.
- Visit nearby decorated houses at night. Keep the route compact and repeat it only while your Candy counter is increasing.
- Choose a reward target first. Write down its live price and save toward it. Do not spend on a class or decoration simply because it is available.
- Use a team when it saves travel time. Split exploration and resource gathering sensibly, but make sure everyone understands the objective and regroup before risky encounters.
- Protect the survival run. Candy is not worth losing a strong run or ignoring basic supplies. If the route becomes dangerous, return to camp and reset your plan.
What about expensive shop rewards?
Some current third-party coverage reports that the Vampire Alpha Wolf is listed at 200 Candy. Treat that as a price to verify, not a promise that the item will remain available or cost the same in every live shop. Open Happy’s shop, confirm the exact item name and price, and check any visible timer before you commit to farming it.
The best reward is the one you can realistically earn before the deadline and actually want to use. If a high-cost item would require more time than you have, a smaller cosmetic or a progression-helping purchase may be the more practical choice. Do not spend Robux or share account details with anyone promising free Candy, limited pets, or a guaranteed reward.

Frequently asked questions
When does Trick or Treat Part 1 end?

Which Halloween quests should I prioritize?
Start with costume collection and Candy earning, then complete the listed Candy Collecting, Carving, and Costuming objectives. Prioritize a specific shop reward after checking its current price.
Do I need a full matching costume?
Current guides report that a matching outfit improves Candy earnings and that the Costuming badge involves trick-or-treating in a full matching costume. Verify your badge progress and Candy counter in the current server.
Is the Fancy Dressed class worth 30 Candy?
Current update coverage lists a 30-Candy cost and reports improvements to costume-piece drops, treat chances, and Candy earnings as it levels. It is most relevant if you plan to keep farming; compare it against the price of your target reward first.
Can I trust an exact reward price in an old video?
Not without checking. Event inventory and prices can change. Use the current in-game shop and countdowns before spending time or currency.
