Pumpkin Moon

The  is an event added in the 1.2.1 Halloween update and summoned with the Pumpkin Moon Medallion at night. The visual indicator is the moon turning orange (as seen to the right) with a scary jack-o-lantern face on it. The moon stays in the same phase (waning, waxing, full, and everything in between) as the normal moon would be, but uses the new texture. The music that plays in this event is also used by the Solar Eclipse event.

The Event
There are up to 15 waves in the Pumpkin Moon, and waves progress as you kill Pumpkin Moon Enemies. The bosses will drop items more frequently if they are killed during later waves. On wave 15, the Mourning Wood and the Pumpking are both guaranteed to drop their respective Trophies. Each Pumpkin Moon enemy has a different weighting, which contributes to a score for that wave. After a score is met the next wave begins, and the score is reset to 0.

If the event is not completed by sunrise (4:30am) the event will simply end.

Weightings required for each wave:

Wave 2: 25

Wave 3: 40

Wave 4: 50

Wave 5: 80

Wave 6: 100

Wave 7: 160

Wave 8: 180

Wave 9: 200

Wave 10: 250

Wave 11: 300

Wave 12: 375

Bugs

 * Possible in multiplayer upon reaching Wave 15 to have the Pumpkin Moon event return each night on wave 15. This also causes mob spawn rates to fluctuate tremendously during the day, because the invasion does not end, but the Pumpkin Moon mobs only spawn during the night. Normally fixed by restarting the server.
