Hi everyone,
Iv’e been farming Trick or Treat bags on the run up to Halloween but I never even questioned is there a point to it.

Will new loot be added to the Trick or Treat bags for Halloween 2015 or have I just stockpiled 1.25k Trick or Treat bags for no reason?

Thanks

Yes, new loot, new weapon/armor skins as well!

" What would a Halloween festival be without treats to go along with its tricks? Candy Corn vendors have new items on offer; trick-or-treat bags have a chance to drop new weapons, a karka helm, or a miniture; and those who face the Mad King in his encounter will have a chance for a rare and marvelous reward! Collect tattered bat wings to start the process of building a wonderful bat-themed shoulder piece."

Think they stealth nerfed em after a few the last halloween end ( or maybe just unluck. talking about luck/t6mats/exotic rates ).

Btw no rumors about ( maybe the old lottery ).

Speculation always pays up :p
Let’s believe in drops rate not like Poly things ( i dropped 2 in 4k, but was unfair as the lottery ).

Hopefully the loot table got big updates.

2 copper foods, 2 copper tonics, Magic find tonics, nougats, fangs, skulls, and maize balm have to go and/or need new sinks. There are TP crafting recipes to use or make all of them, and, if they don’t drop, that will help fix the excess candy corn too.

Hopefully they are replaced with new stuff. Or even old stuff. The economy needs an injection of materials like quartz or zhaitaffy or the new salvaging dyes crafting material.

#24 leaderboard rank North America.

The new dyes and skins are probably going to be dropped from Trick or Treat Bags, buy them now (before they suddenly drop in prices in the TP) go go go! /s

Another question, do you think the price of these Trick or Treat bags increase or decrease when Halloween hits?

decrease

This is pretty much it.

There are two main reasons (that I see) for the decrease in price.
The first one is because everyone bought up a whole ton of bags as speculation, they will either sell them or use them once Halloween comes out, causing the supply to spike, which the demand will not follow and the prices will take a temporary hike.
The second one is the increase in population that the release and Halloween will cause, that will increase the supply and the demand, but most likely the supply as a lot of new players will be looking to make money and will sell their bags to have a small amount of gold stockpiled once Halloween ends/once they go back to normal play or to HoT.

You can look at the graphs on gw2spidy, or any website of your liking to see this behavior being repeated every year.
