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!

	13+	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.

	1+	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!
	1+	x 800	When the warm sun kisses the earth, magnificent sunflowers turn their beautiful golden heads to the sky.
	16+	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.

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.
