MapleStory Classic World offers plenty of reasons to explore beyond the main questline, especially during seasonal events. The Pumpkin Basket Hidden Quest is one activity worth completing if you want to collect a special reward before the Halloween event ends. However, finding the right NPCs and understanding the quest requirements can take extra time if you do not know where to look.
This guide covers the quest requirements, all three child locations, the reward stats, and a few tips to help you finish everything without unnecessary backtracking.
How to Start the Pumpkin Basket Hidden Quest
The Pumpkin Basket reward is tied to the Halloween Candies and Trick or Treat! quests. To begin, find Malady in Henesys or Kerning City and accept the Halloween Candies quest.
You need to collect 100 Halloween Candies by defeating monsters at Level 10 or above. Once you have enough candies, return to Malady to complete the initial quest and unlock the next objective.
The follow-up mission requires you to deliver three candy pouches to children around Victoria Island. Before setting off, check your inventory and make sure you have room for the quest items. Players who keep their equipment and supplies organized, along with their MS Classic World Mesos, can spend more time completing objectives instead of making unnecessary trips back to town.
All Pumpkin Basket Hidden Quest Locations
The three children are located in different areas around Henesys and Ellinia. Follow the clues below to find each one.
- Anne — The Hill East of Henesys
Anne can be found at The Hill East of Henesys. Leave Henesys and travel to the nearby hill map. Look around the elevated area for Anne, then speak to her and deliver the first candy pouch.
If you are starting the quest in Henesys, this is a convenient first stop. Check your quest progress after the conversation to make sure the delivery has registered.
- Estelle — The Field South of Ellinia
The second child, Estelle, is located at The Field South of Ellinia. Travel toward Ellinia and search the open field for her.
Talk to Estelle to deliver the second candy pouch. If you are unfamiliar with the surrounding maps, pay attention to the location names as you travel so you do not accidentally skip the correct field.
- Ronnie — The Tree Tunnel At the Forest Up North
Ronnie is waiting at The Tree Tunnel At the Forest Up North. This location is associated with the tunnel clue, so make sure you enter the correct map rather than searching the open forest areas.
Travel through the northern forest near Ellinia and locate the tree tunnel. Speak to Ronnie and deliver the final candy pouch to complete the three deliveries.
Once all three children have received their candy, return to Malady to finish the quest and claim your Pumpkin Basket.
Recommended Route for Completing the Quest
To avoid unnecessary travel, start with Anne in Henesys, then head toward Ellinia to visit Estelle and Ronnie. After completing all three deliveries, return to Malady in Henesys or Kerning City.
Before leaving your starting town, make sure you have collected all 100 Halloween Candies and accepted the follow-up quest. This prevents you from having to repeat the same journey because a prerequisite was missed.
It is also a good idea to check your quest log after each delivery. Hidden quests can involve several steps, and confirming your progress helps you identify a missing objective before moving to another map.
Pumpkin Basket Stats and Reward
The Pumpkin Basket is a one-handed sword available as the reward for completing the hidden Trick or Treat! quest. According to the listed MapleStory Classic World version 1.0.0 item details, its stats are as follows.
| Property | Details |
| Item Type | One-handed sword |
| Level Requirement | Level 10 |
| Weapon Attack | +27 |
| Speed | +3 |
| Attack Speed | Fast |
| Upgrade Slots | 7 |
| Job Restriction | All jobs |
| Trade Status | Tradable within your world |
| Duration | Permanent |
The weapon is a useful option for low-level characters thanks to its Weapon Attack bonus and additional Speed. Its seven upgrade slots also leave room for further improvements with scrolls.
Even if you already have a weapon for your current build, the Pumpkin Basket may be worth collecting for its seasonal appeal and equipment value. Just remember that collecting the 100 Halloween Candies completes only the first part of the questline. You must deliver all three candy pouches and return to Malady to receive the reward.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Stopping after collecting the candies: The initial Halloween Candies quest is not the final objective. Continue with Trick or Treat! to obtain the Pumpkin Basket.
Searching the wrong maps: Anne, Estelle, and Ronnie each have a specific location. Use the clues and map names to narrow down your search.
Forgetting the final conversation: Delivering all three pouches is not enough on its own. Return to Malady and finish the quest.
Leaving the quest too late: The Halloween event is scheduled to end on November 18, 2026, at 23:59 UTC. Complete the quest before the deadline and check the in-game event information for any changes.
Ignoring inventory space: Clear unnecessary items before farming Halloween Candies. This makes it easier to collect what you need without frequent trips to town.
Players who manage their equipment, consumables, and currency carefully can make seasonal activities less time-consuming. If you also play the separate Global MapleStory version, remember that its economy and progression systems differ from Classic World. Any decision to buy MapleStory GMS Mesos should be considered separately from your Classic World quest plans.
