WELCOME TO OOZEFEST!
The Out of Cards Halloween Celebration


What is Oozefest?

Oozefest is our annual Halloween event and celebration! We've got activities lined up on the site for the entire week and some trick-or-treating fun to earn Candy. Check back every day to see if there's any new content - all our Halloween fun will get cross-posted to this page.


What is Candy?

Candy is the first event-specific site currency! And an introduction to site currency in general =)

  • You'll earn Candy by participating in Oozefest.
  • You can spend your Candy for limited-time cosmetics in our new site shop.

Okay, Cool. How Do I Earn Candy?

Candy can be earned by completing tasks on the site! Here are all the different tasks available:

  • Complete trick-or-treating clues within our card databases.
  • Completing achievements with Candy rewards.
  • Browsing the site for random Candy drops (up to 20 per day).
  • Participating in our Hearthstone Halloween Card Design Competition.
    • Do note that only entries that do not get disqualified are allowed to earn Candy. Candy will be provided at the end of the competition.

Premium users will earn Candy slightly faster while browsing the site.

What Can I Get With My Candy?

We've got forum titles, profile headers, and coming a little bit later during the event, new avatar borders!

  • All cosmetics are limited-time rewards and will disappear from the shop 1 week after event ends.
  • You may not be able to buy all cosmetics during the event - pick and choose carefully!

    edit: HS COMPLETED! Thanks to everybody for the hints :)

    Still missing these two from HS:

    • There's nothing scarier than a dreadlord. Except when that dreadlord is also a turtle.
    • To have a free Polymerization at hand at all times produces some truly grizzly results.

    Fort he first one I have no clue. Edit: Said nothing about it, just seen a recent comment with a hint that helps me out with that  :P

    Show Spoiler
    Look for tortollan and dreadlords but still not having this. Not sure where else to look for

    and for the second I'm totally lost

    Show Spoiler
    I think it should be a card that changes on your hand. Thinking about wargen cards but still nothing.

    For the rest of the "games" I tried but nothing. I barely know the ones for HS so I don't want to get crazy with those.

    Anyway thanks to @FluxFlashor and staff for providing us these kind of quests. The staff that we deserve :)

      For the first one, if you didn´t find out yet: It´s an old set demon who claims he´s a turtle :D

      For the second one: It´s a card that has something to do with changing your HP in a special way..

        Got both of them.

         

        For the poly I was not looking for the proper kind of things. I thought it was something stitched from a newer expansion :P

          I went to both forms and still never got it.  Maybe doing something silly.

    This was a great deal of fun and some of them were really hard, and some of them were really clever. I have gotten all but three and these are driving me mad lol. 

    1. "There's nothing scarier than a dreadlord. Except when that dreadlord is also a turtle." I feel like this must be so easy, but it is escaping me.

    I know less than nothing of Mythgard but I have two that are plaguing me:

    2. "Open 24/7, on break during the day."

    Show Spoiler
    I feel like it should have been Plasma Station, missed opportunity(?) but I know nothing of Mythgard lol.

    3."It's a club, not a gang."

    I was surprised that I got all of Runeterra without much effort, and most of Magic with some research, it's such a huge game, and the lore article helped a good deal.

      1. A legendary misheard voice line, been around quite a while. And yes once you get it it is really easy.
      2. I don't play Mythgard so my tips might lack finesse, but a business that's on break during the day must be open during…
      3. It's tough, the art explains the clue but I have no second search tip. Except your forum title.

      Good luck with the final day's hunt!

        Thanks for the guidance, all are now completed. I seldom play with sound (or that card, even though I have it) so the Hearthstone clue was lost on me. The first Mythgard eluded me because I was focused on Vampires which seems to be one of their tribes. All in all, it was great fun.

    I'm just stumped on what "A place to dress up cards however you like." is

    Show Spoiler
    Based on earlier comments, I've tried Kazakus, The Masked Ball Tavern Brawls, and the Custom Card forums.

      Not a card, but rather a place on the site where you can find spooky cards. At this time, a set amount of spooky cards, no longer can more be added.

    Just wondering if anyone has a clue for "We only rate dogs. This is obviously someone in the army" (Mythgard)

    I clicked on every collectable Mythgard card and may or may not have managed to miss it. :)

    Reminder: Oozefest is closing up shop when the clock hits midnight on November 3 which leaves us with just over 2 days left!

    When the event ends:

    • You can no longer earn any candy.
    • Clues will be disabled, cementing progress.
    • The shop will remain open for 1 additional week for any stragglers who still need to spend their candy.

    Your candy will not go away as it doesn't not rot and will be our currency for next year. We'll be adding more cosmetics to obtain next year and the old ones will become available again, though they may increase in price slightly (currently undecided) to force people to choose between old cosmetics (likely rarer) or newer ones.


    Additionally, we'll be activating the "normal event mode" for Out of Cards.

    During non-event times, you'll be able to earn a small amount of Gold each day for visiting the site. You won't be able to spend the Gold right away but do know that we're working towards creating more ways to earn it and new rewards.

    Gold does not mean the end of rewards for achievements, those will still exist, though we will likely give out titles less for some repetitive actions on the site and reserve them for larger milestones. One big problem with our current system is that it becomes overwhelming when you unlock an achievement and it rewards you with a handful of titles due to wanting to give out something for each game at each milestone (only a few do for this reason) so by giving you Gold for earning an achievement instead, we can let you obtain something you actually care about or save up for higher-end rewards.

    For the Hearthstone players, I guess you could say we're doing a progression revamp too. And funnily enough, there is more planned on the site progression side of things too and I'm looking forward to completing it all!

        Seriously though, Gold is going to be our site currency that you'll earn in various ways that can be used towards site cosmetics that we'll release outside of special events. I can't tell you exactly when earning gold will go live, but everyone who creates an account will receive 10 Gold and anyone with an account prior to Halloween received a 50 Gold bonus. Premium members will be getting a chunk of bonus gold for each month they have subscribed for, and then thereafter, once more stuff goes live in the shop.

    Completely stumped by two MTGA ones:

    • A card so scary, standard only recently escaped his clutches.
    • If there's anything that a werewolf hates, it is bad flavor text - especially gratuitous ones, like the one on this card.

    EDIT: Got 'em!
