How to get Pumpkin Coin

Pumpkin Coin is the Halloween event currency. It comes from Samhain Goodie Bags dropped by costumed enemies, and you spend it at the Seasonal Merchant. The event runs October 25 to November 7, so it is active now.

Drops

  • Clay Caves, Forgotten Ruins enemies: During the event, Cavelings, Caveling Shamans, Caveling Brutes, Big Larvae, Big Hive Larvae and Core Commanders have a 10% chance to drop a Samhain Goodie Bag. [4][2]

Vendors

  • Seasonal Merchant: Spend the coins at the Seasonal Merchant, who moves in after you place a Seasonal Calendar in a valid house. The Samhain Workbench costs 10 coins. [6][2]

Rewards

  • Opening a Samhain Goodie Bag gives 3 to 4 random rolls. About half of all bags include a Pumpkin Coin. [4]

Other ways

  • It only appears during the Halloween event, which runs on its own each year from October 25 to November 7. You can also turn it on any time with the Override season gameplay setting. [1][2][3]
  • Salvage and Repair Station: Salvaging a Samhain Goodie Bag gives 3 to 5 Pumpkin Coins. [4]

Tips

  • Salvaging bags gives more coins than opening them, but you lose the candy, costumes and the boss idol inside. Open some and salvage the rest. [4]
  • Farm Cavelings in the Forgotten Ruins. They are common and easy to kill, and each one can drop a bag. (unverified) [2]
