- Do not leave the server your pumpkin count resets to zero the moment you disconnect, so stay in until you hit 1,000.

Common questions
FAQHow do I unlock stronger swords?
Keep defeating NPCs to earn aura and push your sword to its current maximum phase. Once you hit that maximum, a new and more powerful sword becomes available.
What happens if I leave the server while collecting pumpkins?
Your pumpkin count does not save when you disconnect, so you lose all of them and have to start over from zero. Stay in the same server until you have all 1,000 before attempting the Halloween Boss.
Is the Void King badge still something I can earn?
No, that badge is no longer obtainable. Players who already have it earned it during an earlier period in the game's life.
