The Slime Bucket in Roblox Wacky Wizards is an event ingredient introduced during the 2022 Ghost update Halloween event. Players unlock it by speaking with the Ghostbuster NPC near the Scare Board, brewing Ghostbuster Equipment, capturing 20 ghosts across four map zones, and depositing the collected goo.
Once obtained, the Slime Bucket sits on your ingredient table and allows you to brew transformation potions, throwable puddles, and special event items.
How to Get the Slime Bucket Ingredient
To unlock the Slime Bucket, you must complete the ghost-hunting task assigned by the Ghostbuster NPC. Follow these step-by-step instructions to finish the quest:
- Locate the Ghostbuster NPC: Head to the Oasis area and find the Ghostbuster standing directly to the right of the Scare Board.
- Accept the Quest and Collect the Gear: Talk to the Ghostbuster. He explains that ghosts have invaded the area and hands you the Ghostbuster Gear ingredient.
- Brew the Ghostbuster Equipment Potion: Take the Ghostbuster Gear back to your cauldron, drop it inside, and spawn the Ghostbuster Equipment potion. Drink this potion to equip the gear and make the ghosts visible across the map.
- Capture 20 Ghosts: Search the map to find and catch five ghosts of each color (white, green, red, and yellow). To capture a ghost, aim your camera directly at it and hold down your left-mouse button until the ghost tips over and vanishes.
- Deposit the Ghost Goo: Return to the Ghostbuster NPC at the Oasis. Approach the colored pipes and jars next to him, then interact with the prompt to deposit your collected Ghost Goo.
- Claim the Slime Bucket: Talk to the Ghostbuster again and confirm you have caught enough ghosts. He will reward you with the permanent Slime Bucket ingredient.
All Ghost Locations
You must catch a total of five ghosts for each of the four colors. The order in which you capture them does not matter.
| Ghost Color | Required Amount | Map Location |
|---|---|---|
| White | 5 | Directly behind the Scare Board (near the Headless Horseman area) |
| Green | 5 | Inside the Goblin Village entrance |
| Red | 5 | Near the pool, barn, and right outside the Spider Cave |
| Yellow | 5 | In front of the Pyramid entrance / behind the Pyramid |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you catch ghosts without drinking the Ghostbuster potion?
No. Drinking the Ghostbuster Equipment potion brewed from the Ghostbuster Gear is required to reveal and interact with the ghosts scattered across the map.
What happens if the server restarts while catching ghosts?
Player progress during the quest is saved. If you disconnect or the server restarts before you finish depositing all four colors of goo, your captured ghost count remains intact when you rejoin.
Where do I find the Undead ingredient for the Grim Reaper potion?
According to player documentation, the Undead skull is found in the Legacy ingredients section for players who unlocked it during zombie events, where it occasionally dropped during zombie combat waves.
