The Spectral event was implimented by Zorg on Friday October 23rd 2009. It lasts from midnight on Friday to midnight on Sunday, server time.
There are 3 Spectral Items, and each week an item is picked at random and put into play. There are two ways to gain an item when the event is going on:
1) Randomly picked to get it from the abyss, or
2) Kill the current carrier and earn a banner when doing so.
