Once upon a time, when spirits walked the land, a humble farmer was tending to his crops on Harvest Eve’s night, when he was approached by the Pumpkin King. With a golden grin and twinkling eyes, the Pumpkin King congratulated the farmer for the bounty of his land. The farmer, though a little afraid of the entity, remained proud of his hard work and told the King of Autumn about his wish for the harvest to never end. To this, the Pumpkin King replied, “Harvest your best pumpkin, carve it into my likeness, and I will grant you this wish,” his smile wide and his eyes bright.
The farmer, too humble to pass up such a gift, gathered the largest pumpkin in the field and began carving it right there. When he was finished, he presented his benefactor with a masterfully carved likeness, a pumpkin so well-rendered it reflected the Pumpkin King's own visage. At first, the King was full of awe, for he was vain and delighted by his image. But as he examined the carving more closely, his delight turned to fury. The reflection was too true, too perfect, and in it, he saw all the small imperfections of his own face mirrored back at him.
Without another word, the Pumpkin King smashed the carved likeness with his mighty hand. Then, with a sweep of his cloak, he soared into the sky, whispering sweet lies into the moon’s ear, tricking it to stay in place forever so that the seasons could not pass. And so, it happened that autumn stretched on, endless streams of falling leaves blanketing the golden fields.
At first, the farmer thought this was a blessing, collecting sack after sack of bountiful produce. But as days turned to weeks, then months, and the season never changed, the land grew weary. The yellow leaves kept falling, and the crops began to stall. The farmer, once thrilled with the endless harvest, now found himself overwhelmed, unable to keep up with the relentless pace. His prized fields began to rot, bloated with maggots, vermin, and disease. That was when the farmer realized his folly.
In desperation, he pleaded to the trickster’s kin—the courts of the Lumenir and Umbralim, of summer breeze and winter wind. “Please!” he cried. “It was my wish that caused this. Now I see how it must be!” He fell to his knees. “There is a time for harvest, and a time for rest! Undo the trickster’s curse and let the seasons turn once more!”
The spirits took pity on the farmer and decided to put an end to their brother’s scheme. They broke the endless autumn and restored the natural cycle of the seasons, binding the Pumpkin King to the shadows where he could no longer meddle with the world. But his vanity could not be fully tamed. On the night of Harvest Eve, he is free to roam again, searching for tributes made in his image. To keep his tricks at bay, the people carve pumpkins in his likeness, careful not to make them too perfect. For if the Pumpkin King is offended by a face too true to his own, his rage may return—and with it, another endless autumn.

You might even score both a regular Supplybag and a Harvest Eve Supplybag at the same time as a spooky bonus!
The Pumpkin is definitely a great spot to discover a Harvest Eve Supplybag!
🍬 Taste Monster-flavored Candies
Try a suspicious candy to gain a 10% bonus damage boost against a specific creature family for 1 hour. There’s a wide variety of creature-themed candies to collect, giving you a solid advantage on your journey. However, remember that only one Candy effect can be active at a time, and they don’t stack.
Additionally, each candy from the Harvest Eve Supplybag is Soulbound, making them exclusive to your character.
Choose wisely and enjoy the seasonal boost!
The delicious candies have been made even better by incorporating parts of the very monsters they represent.
🎃 Exchange Harvest Coins for Decorations
Upon opening a Supplybag, you may come across some Harvest Coins! Word has it that during Harvest Eve, a mysterious lady appears in Ravencrest, ready to exchange these coins for unique rewards. Among her offerings are exclusive House Decorations, such as the Harvest Eve Pumpkin and Harvest Eve Scarecrow!
Don't be alarmed about the prices, each Harvest Eve Supplybag can contain up to 60 Harvest Coins, so play along with the Pumpkin King and you're sure to walk away a Pumpkin Lord!
Note: Candies and Harvest Eve Supplybags will only be available during the event period.
Once the event ends, any remaining candies will be removed from players’ inventories, so be sure to use them wisely!
