Destiny 2's Halloween event, Festival of the Lost, is always good for seasonal fun and scares. Each year, the holiday adds some new goodies for Guardians to hunt (https://www.destructoid.com/destiny-2-festival-of-the-lost-armor-2023-halloween-armor-set/), all while collecting Candy, uncovering spooky lore, and taking on redecorated Haunted Lost Sectors (https://www.destructoid.com/veles-labyrinth-legend-lost-sector-guide-destiny-2/). This year, Bungie is adding another twist, with the opportunity to focus Exotic armor using Festival currencies.
Better yet, purchasing these Engrams does not require that players have already earned the Exotic they want, given the feature's roulette-like nature. So, the Festival of the Lost can serve as a tremendous catch-up opportunity for those in need. But before players dive into the game to earn that last lingering Exotic or fish for a wanted roll, players ought to know what goes into this new option.
Festival of the Lost has been a Halloween staple in Destiny (https://www.destructoid.com/destiny-2-festival-of-the-lost-kick-off-2021/) since 2015, initially debuting in the first title. Though the event has undergone some changes over the years, it still primarily revolves around wearing cosmetic mask items and collecting Candy as a currency.
The current iteration of the Festival tasks Guardians with earning Spectral Pages through activities so that they can be converted into Manifested Pages via Haunted Lost Sectors. These Manifested Pages are then used to unlock additional Halloween-themed lore. While undertaking these tasks and wearing a Festival mask, players will earn Candy and the newly introduced Eerie Engrams. These are used to purchase weapons or Exotic armor through the event vendor, Eva Levante.

While Eva Levante often acts as the ambassador for Destiny 2's holidays, offering the unique loot that accompanies each event, the NPC doesn't typically provide Exotic armor. Eva still has Festival weapons up for grabs, including past rewards and the new Acosmic grenade launcher. However, the real treat of this Festival of the Lost is a respectable assortment of Exotic armor for each class. It's not a pool of every Exotic armor piece available in the game, but it does feature a few choices that might have eluded Guardians.
Unlike Focused Decoding through Master Rahool, Hocus Focusing doesn't require players to have already earned the Exotic. Whether it's a pesky Calliban's Hand that was missed during Season of the Haunted or Legendary Campaign rewards like Secant Filaments (https://www.destructoid.com/how-to-get-the-secant-filaments-in-destiny-2/), it's within reach so long as Guardians are ready to hand over some Candy and play the lottery. Hocus Focusing's Exotic Decoding allows players to exchange 1 Eerie Engram and 2500 Candy for an Eerie Exotic Engram matching an armor slot of choice.

While there's no guarantee players will get the Exotic they're specifically looking for, Candy is a currency that only exists within the Festival of the Lost, so the only actual cost is time. A respectable 2500 Candy isn't hard to amass, but it will undoubtedly take some time spent within Haunted Lost Sectors or other activities with a Festival mask equipped. With that known, Guardians will want to prioritize the slot they want to gamble on and hope they have enough Candy to see the desired result.
