What this Star Path includes
Haunting Elegance is the Halloween-themed reward track introduced with Season of Scares. Its rewards include clothing, furniture and decorations. Completing duties earns Pumpkin Tokens for the reward pages.
The official update announcement also describes other seasonal activities. Those activities have their own schedules; do not assume they share the Star Path deadline.
Weekly routine duties
Routine duties arrive in weekly groups. The Week 2 set includes spending time with Goofy, catching fish and photographing the Pumpkin King’s door. The last clue is the tricky one: the target is the Candy Cane Door reward item.
Before spending your tokens
Read the requirement displayed on each reward page. The page-unlock counts can differ, so a blanket “buy three items on every page” rule is not reliable for this event.
Check whether an item belongs to the standard or Premium track before planning your purchases. The door needed for the photo duty is listed on the standard track.
Frequently asked questions
Does Week 2 mean the whole Star Path ends on October 7?
No. Week 2 identifies when that set of routine duties releases. The overall event is scheduled to run until December 8, 2026. Use the in-game event timer to confirm the live deadline.
