The H'oddments Store will be available at midnight game time (which is also when Grim Harvest activates).

Well, the first Pumpkin smash was an absolute dud in the City of Um.

Nowhere near enough spawns and scattered around miles apart with no accurate indication of where they are. W46 failed with only 1/5th of the total required smashed.

Disaster of a start and implementation already by the looks of it.

We're keeping a very close eye on it. Team are already discussing how that first one looked as we were in there with you to experience it in live.

The spawns are always the same, and Um is the most complex, so there will be some learning on knowing where they can appear - but we may make changes quickly if not enough pumpkins are being smashed on average.

I expect the Wiki will have the locations mapped soon enough which should help too.

Ironman here getting regular oddments rather than H’oddments from first ritual…

Edit: also from the random pumpkins when skilling

Ironmen can win all the cosmetic rewards. All the candies award h'oddments instead for irons (might not be the case until tomorrow). All standard item prizes award oddments instead for irons.

Ensouled pumpkin mask gives you ingame benefit of not having candles degrade during rituals and ironmen can buy it from g.e?

what are you doing jagex

The team enabled this due to the fact you can earn the item through smashing pumpkins during the event.

We're open to feedback from Irons on this though - so if you're an Iron reading this, feel free to drop your thoughts either way as a commented response. We're keen to hear your takes.

So I have some keys, is it worth saving them for the H'oddments at midnight or using them now?

The Halloween promotion Grim Harvest goes live at 00:01am tomorrow morning.

If you're looking for H'oddments and potentially some of the Halloween rewards also available from the event, it's best to wait till tomorrow to use them.

PLEASE, just remove oddment and give us nothing instead, it's getting ridiculous!

I was hype, there was an event in my game for halloween... Now i'm sad and logged out.

I dont understand why you guys hate ironmans so much?

Giving irons nothing was an option that was considered. Oddments currently feel bad because the store hasn't been updated in way too long. If the store was updated and irons stopped receiving oddments i'm pretty sure you would be asking to get them again. Personally I want the store to be updated but its not a decision I can make.

Spawns every hour correct?

Spawns happen at Pumpkin Parties (1 party per hour) and regularly while skilling etc.

We have increased the Party Timer from 3 minutes to 5 minutes, this should be in effect for the next party (6:30 BST)

Hotfix: Bianca has been moved to a new spot in the fort during the quest "Murder on the Border" to resolve an issue with accessibility.

After looking at the data and your feedback, we're going to be buffing the amount of H'oddments players receive from smashing pumpkins today.
Every pumpkin smashed will now provide 25 H'oddments, alongside any other rewards stashed within.
