The Mad Moon, Arachnophobia and The Crossing can also be crafted. You receive an exotic weapon that requires the Halloween-specific Gifts (Gift of the Moon, Gift of Spiders, Gift of Souls). The recipes are down below under the Mystic Forge Recipe heading.

Plastic Fangs, Plastic Spiders, Nougats

There are quite a few days to get these ingredients:

• Trick-or-Treat Bags and Personalized Trick-or-Treat Bags

• Killing the mobs that spawn from Haunted Doors (which, in turn, spawn randomly through-out Tyria)

• Mystic Forge
