Talk:Pumpkin Moon

I have added the the Scarecrow, Splinterling and Poltergeist pages. Could anyone please add their spirtes, maybe refine the pages ect. Thanks! Happy Halloween (update) - Lynnz

The final wave seems to be endless, using server time setting commands me and a friend managed to get to wave 15, and pumpkings would spawn endlessly along with mourning woods. --207.119.189.194 06:30, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

end-game
"meaning it is intended to only be accessible to players who have already completed virtually all of the end-game content in Hardmode" Sorry, but pumpkins, hollowed bars and ectoplasm are not endgame. It's early to mid hardmode, since it really only asks you to kill a boss and a couple mobs in dungeon. --62.107.49.180 12:55, 29 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Pumpkins are easy to get, that's true. Hallowed bars though are mid hardmode since you need to kill a hardmode boss and one might prefer to have already smashed some altars and crafted some hardmode armors before doing so. And ectoplasms are rather late hardmode now since you need to kill one hardmode boss AND Plantera to get them. It's still an endgame item because if you use ectoplasms and hallowed bars to craft pumpkin medallion instead of armors and weapons, it means you have some extra, otherwise it would be a waste. --Fegazeus (talk) 15:46, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

farming
i get to about wave 7 on my own,. you definitely need a better farming srategy than just running left and right,. or some friends. Anyone have suggestions - or been able to solo all the waves up till the boss?
 * I manage to get to wave 11 on my own before the night ends. Survival isn't a problem after going through a number of these and getting to know the enemies. Instead, my biggest problem seems to be doing more damage to enemies to kill them faster and reach later waves earlier. I used my pre-built arena for the encounter but I recently added a huge number of Lihzahrd traps to it, hopefully that will get me to wave 15. --DoubleFloat (talk) 19:03, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

It is also useful for farming other stuff. I farmed pirate maps on sea creatures while pumpkin moon was active. The spawn rates in the sea have also been increased. I added it to the "notes". But there is some stuff that should be tested. -Will this even work for undergrund areas? I tested it in the dungeon, I think the spawnrates where higher, but I am not sure. It definitly was not that significant as in the ocean. -Will the spawn rate be even higher, if you get to a higher wave first and then port to the farming area?

Strategy
We need a strategy page for this.
