The Halloween Event is all about gathering pumpkins. There are many ways to get them, like through adventures, quests or collectibles.
The most common way is from the pumpkin cemetery (1). They can also be bought at the merchant, and come in many different sizes, with different rates of production. Previously, the amount of pumpkins you could get from a field was limited — but now the fields can be refilled! You can obtain refillers for pumpkins by participating in adventures. Keep in mind that if a pumpkin field runs out, it will wither and you will not be able to refill it anymore. So make sure you always keep the fields full of pumpkins, or stop production until you can refill them to avoid this! Please note that the omniseeds will NOT work on the pumpkin field.

Another way of collecting pumpkins is to defeat the golems that spawn on your zone. (2)

To defeat the golems, you’ll have to exploit their weaknesses. For that, you’ll have to produce buffs in your provision house. There is always one specific buff that’s effective against each golem type, and you can find out which one you need by selecting the monster with your mouse.

If you have some buffs left, you can use them to help your friends, or you can redeem them after the Event by using them on the Mayor’s house.

Having defeated your first monster, after a certain period of time, the monster will re-spawn and you can defeat it again. But beware, the more you defeat it, the stronger it will return! Also, based on your level, after defeating it five times, the monster will change type, becoming even stronger. Will you be able to defeat them all?

After gathering pumpkins (3) through adventures, monsters, collectibles, quests and trading, you can spend them on attractive items from the merchant (4). Besides a spooky looking general and some nice new buffs, you can also obtain rare buildings and decorations, not to mention the critically acclaimed «grout» resource with which you can upgrade your buildings to level 6!

So there you have it! Get ready for the best Halloween ever!

A Basket of Pumpkins
Pumpkins x 300
1+ Gems x 360 A woman farmer has collected a basket of pumpkins, but when one of them started to talk and said that the basket was uncomfortable, the woman decided she’d rather sell the lot as soon as possible! Do you want to buy them?
Cart Full of Pumpkins
Pumpkins x 4200
1+ Gems x 5000 A cart of pumpkins seemingly started to move on its own. Only when looking closely could you see that the pumpkins themselves were pushing the cart. At least, until a farmer caught them and made them available for sale. A small fence around the cart suffices to keep them in place.
Small Pumpkin Cemetery 1+ Stones x 50
Pinewood Planks x 100
Everyone knows that pumpkins grow very well in cemeteries. This small one can be built quickly and cheaply, but it will be a long time before you can harvest the first pumpkins.
Common Pumpkin Cemetery 1+ Marble x 150
Hardwood Planks x 200
Everyone knows that pumpkins grow very well in cemeteries, so why not buy an eerily beautiful cemtery from your merchant?
Noble Pumpkin Cemetery 1+ Granite x 10
Exotic Wood Planks x 25

Bewitching Bundle Pumpkins x 9799 The Bewitching Explorer has chosen some really enticing items for you in this time-limited Halloween Special. Come closer, have a look…
Halloween Elite Pack 18+ Gems x 25999 A scarily magnificient bundle. An elite troop of generals with some equally elite housing.
Event limited bundle with an insane 50% discount! Get it now or fear the consequences! Muahahaha!
Mad Scientist 13+ Pumpkins x 4999 I don’t know what to make of this man! It’s obvious that he’s some sort of genius, but he seems to have trouble making anything useful. That may be because most of his ideas revolve around explosions…
Still, he’s looking for work, and you look like you could use more explosions in your army. What do you say?
Ghost General 13+ Pumpkins x 5799 This noble ghost seeks retribution, and believes you to be the perfect partner to accomplish it.
Younger Gemini General 13+ Pumpkins x 6999 Never look down on the baby of the family. Despite looking much like his brother, the Younger Gemini General doesn’t draw his strength from a huge army. Instead, he relies mostly on himself, and only takes a handful of units with him to guard his back. One can only speculate as to where his strength comes from, but his reddish skin suggests something supernatural.
Chummy Geologist 1+ Pumpkins x 1249 There is nothing in life the Chummy Geologist wants more than to be your friend. To befriend you, he’ll either find deposits really quickly, or return with sweet chocolate from his longer searches once every couple of searches.
Scared Explorer 1+ Pumpkins x 4199 Incredibly fearful and startled by the faintest of noises, he takes four times as long to complete searches. On the plus side, he’ll also bring back four times the treasure on treasure searches, and often some omniseeds, too. And that’s not all thanks to his particularly sensitive nature, he always has a small chance of finding something extraordinary like crystals, premium time items or precious books. Artifact, rarity and adventure searches are excluded from all loot bonuses.
Bewitching Explorer Pumpkins x 4313 Once so lovely, something strange happened to this explorer. After an adventure to a certain island, the lady returned feeling a bit unusual, and without any memory of what exactly it was that she’d been doing. Now, she feels stronger than ever, with a distinct power of persuasion.
Blacktree Seed (blue) 15+ Pumpkins x 4500 A seed that lets you plant a tree as black as night. Once the pride and center of a witch’s dance, this seed mysteriously found its way into your hands. The tree that springs from this seed will swallow the light surrounding it, and in return emit a diffuse, arcane blue light.
Just standing beside such a tree, you can feel its arcane power permeate through you. You feel a strong urge to get as many of these trees on your island as possible, and wonder if this is part of its magic.
Blacktree Seed (gold) 15+ Pumpkins x 4500 A seed that lets you plant a tree as black as night. Once the pride and center of a witch’s dance, this seed mysteriously found its way into your hands.

Ghost Lantern 1+ Pumpkins x 5499 A lantern containing tiny swirling ghosts. Somehow looking like luxury housing for the dearly departed, the lantern seems to be from another realm of existence. It’s not clear how the merchant got his hands on this item — it just appeared, available for sale.
Haunted Mansion 1+ Pumpkins x 2450 Ah, I see you’re looking at these mansion blueprints. You’ve got a fine eye!
But I must warn you — there may be something otherworldly in those angles and lines! Every time someone follows these plans, the house appears to draw in dozens of ghosts in an instant.
Spooky Bronze Mine 1+ Pumpkins x 3499 Ghosts of deceased settlers and soldiers keep appearing after you defeat their nemeses, freeing them of their earthly burdens. But instead of haunting the living, it turns out these are actually very friendly spirits, who want to help you in your efforts to conquer the evildoers. As they’re spirits, they can’t fight your battles for you — but they can help you produce bronze really quickly! Nobody really knows how the ghosts do it — so just imagine how hard it was for Sonya to convince everybody else that this would work out!
Wondrous Halloween Residence 15+ Pumpkins x 7995 A creepy variant of the wondrous residence. A must-have for enthusiasts of scary times.
Instead of tokens, this variant will require pumpkins as upgrade costs.
Laboratory 16+ Pumpkins x 3999 A most curious building. I have never seen anything like it before.
It comes with piles of arcane equipment that, I’ve been assured, can transform one resource into another in the hands of an expert.

Recipe Efficient Traps 7+ Pumpkins x 560 A clever hunter came up with a new trap design. Not only is it stronger, but it selectively catches only full-grown game, which is less damaging to the island’s ecosystem.

Improved Deerstalker Hut 13+ Pumpkins x 2850 The hunter that works out of this hut has perfected the use of traps and tricks, to become the most efficient hunter in the land. Nobody can rival him in terms of efficiency and speed. It seems your butchers will be busy while he’s around!
Silo 13+ Pumpkins x 600 A lazy settler, who doesn’t want to build wheat fields anymore, has had a great idea. He’ll build a silo which collects surplus grain, and use it to refill the wheat fields.

Village School 1+ Pumpkins x 600 The village school is filled with the best teachers who will teach the kids how to become the best settlers out there.
Mr. Myers 14+ Pumpkins x 24 A certain Mr. Myers has offered to train your army. He is supposed to get top performance from recruits. You’ll have to hire him soon though, as he says he’ll only be in the neighborhood for Halloween.
Nash Williams 14+ Pumpkins x 48 A man in strange garments who calls himself Nash Williams has shown up in our lands. Madly babbling about the threat of some dark army, he offers to aid in the training of your troops. If you want him, you’ll have to hire him soon, because he’ll be leaving to find some tome after Halloween.
Zombie 1+ Pumpkins x 96 Some strange laborers want to work in your factories. They reek, and speaking is not their strong suit, but they work fast and need no sleep.
Witches 1+ Pumpkins x 325 These are no ordinary pets. When their owners lend them some of their power, they become very inciting…
iGor 1+ Pumpkins x 56 A creepy fellow who knows how to serve with complete devotion. Your troops could probably learn a lot from him.
Bucket of Candy 1+ Pumpkins x 125 The sticky and half-molten candy serves as an inspiration to all smelters… or so they claim. They probably just have a sweet tooth.
The Headless Horseman 1+ Pumpkins x 45 He may have no head, but this man knows his way around his horses! While he’s usually somewhat less than co-operative, he’s actually surprisingly willing to help tend to our horses.
