image.png.60dd41c190799621c73e8e11678ede99.png

The Pumpkin Moon is rising! It's time to put on your spookiest costumes, dust off your favorite ghost stories, and prepare to share some treats – or a few well-placed tricks!

The Pumpkin Moon Festival begins on October 23, right after maintenance is complete (follow our social channels for updates!), and runs until November 10 at 10:00 UTC. Enjoy new adventures, pumpkin-growing fun, the return of the Dream Reaper, thrilling attractions, and a sea of surprises. Let's take a closer look at what's coming!


Event Highlights
New Adventures in the Dreamworld
Welcome to the expanded Dreamworld, now filled with even more mystery, mischief, and danger! Explore the enigmatic dunes and the ruins of forgotten temples beyond its borders. But stay vigilant – deadly scarabs and fierce ushabti warriors roam these sands, eager to test your armor's strength.


+5 Story Quests
The Pumpkin Moon storyline continues with five new story quests! Join the Muareg nomads in their search for their missing god. Who is this enigmatic patron? Why has their divine presence vanished? And what threat now looms over Arinar – and you?


+6 Daily Quests

A new set of daily quests awaits!

  • Hunt down the scarabs that stole the stars...
  • ...and return the stars to their rightful places
  • Fight off the ushabti armies
  • Gather ancient hieroglyphs
  • Guide lost Muaregs into other dreams
  • Gather feathers and weigh pilgrims' hearts on the Scales of Truth


10+1 Easter Eggs
Ten Easter eggs lie scattered throughout the Dreamworld. Discover them all to unlock an eleventh secret, leading to a true carnival costume! The first player to uncover every hidden secret will receive a special trophy – and the title of Arinar's sharpest-eyed seeker!

More details will be revealed soon on our official channels!


Prophecies

Every day, the Fortune Teller peers into the mists of fate, ready to reveal a glimpse of what lies ahead. Since last year's Pumpkin Moon, her gift has grown stronger – so many prophecies now swirl around her crystal ball that it will take more than one fall to hear them all!


Attractions

This year, the farm expands to 15 plots, giving even the most dedicated gardeners room to grow! Some plots are available to everyone, while others can be unlocked using image.png.4c9a2cc258a6e65bc31651554fe17fbc.pngthe Pumpkin Moon Spade, a legendary artifact available in the Premium Store.

The rarer the pumpkin, the longer it takes to grow – but the greater the reward! You can speed up growth with special potions.

And remember to water your plants! To make tending easier, the sprinkler now includes a built-in timer, showing exactly how much time your sprouts have before they wither away.
