As All Hallows' Eve approaches, we have a small little part 2 to our Halloween events!
New Halloween Items & Updates
More Ghoul Coins!
Since it's almost ghoul time, we've massively increased the drop rate for Ghoul Coins from sacrificing Remains!
We also added a couple new Halloween items…
New to Cauldron
Gleeby Catsack (rare)
Spooky Catsack (rare)

Spooky Catsack (rare)
Added more new Victorian furniture available in Rob's Imports and Sweet Suites
Victorian Writing Desk

Nimbus Art Pass & Bonus Level
Nimbus was our first Ball Race map, and it has gotten some love finally! The artwork for the tiles, objects, and more have been redone and we've added a bonus level that was missing from Nimbus.
Condo Optimizations
We went through a lot of the systems in Condo IO and optimized them to improve performance for Condos that have intense usage of Condo IO. We're hoping the optimizations we did will reduce CPU usage overall.
