Track-r-Treater Pet Talent

[Willowdreamer]

Now that this Adventure Talent has started working, I've been considering the unexciting nature of many of the "Halloween Items" - i.e., common reagents, common treasure cards, and age-old housing items available from packs or for Gold in the Bazaar -- I have to say this pet Talent may not really be worth pursuing. A 4-minute cool-down and 20 Happiness only to get a Black Mantle or Ghost Touch treasure card, a Bone, a Rank 1 snack? It's not called "TRICK-r-Treater," but I'm beginning to feel tricked.

I was honestly hoping for unique items that would make this a desirable Talent. Now that Azoth and spellements are the in-demand pet-gathering skills, Track-r-Treater hasn't very much to offer. The rarest item received so far has been the Pilloried Skeleton, and - to me, not all that rare. Where are the Cobweb Rugs and Trick-or-Treat banners? Where are the Halloween wands or gear?

Should I keep hoping for something better, or retire my Track-r-Treater pet?

Thanks for sufferings, er testing, so we don't have to!

I hope it's updated this month when the Halloween festivities step up. At least the talent should give some better housing items like Jack-o-Lanterns and even potions (not anything valuable for us high level players but these could definitely help lower level players make up for not having to get the best gear). I really have no idea how Ki determines an items value though, as though Ki Devs are just looking at items or reagents that revolve around the same theme without going deeper into whether the items are worth the time players are spending with Adventure Talents.

This morning the pet talent returned a Misfortune Cookie pet snack and now a Perfect Citrine reagent?
@Sparck? @Arthur Wethersfield?

Is this honestly how randomly Kingsisle defines Halloween Items?

I tried to post on the main Message Boards about this Talent, but possibly I was too overtly negative about it, and the post has not been approved to become visible. I might have to try again next week with a more diplomatic approach.

If anyone does use the preferred avian social media, could they please ask a Dev the question about why it doesn't actually give HALLOWEEN items as advertised?
