Pumpkin Head, Pumpkin head II, Horror Head, Horror Head II, Trick Staff, Trick Staff II, Treat Staff, Treat Staff II do the following:
Start by getting 2 stacks of 99 of different types of candy (I.E Ginger Cookies, and Goblin Chocolate). Then go to any shopkeeper npc that is wearing a costume. Keep trading one of the types of candy with them one at a time until you get either a Pumpkin head, Pumpkin head II, Trick Staff, or Trick Staff II. When you get one of these put it on and go to a different shopkeeper npc. Trade the other type of candy to that npc one at a time to receive that items "pair". The following list is the pairs of items:
Pumpkin Head ---> Horror Head
Pumpkin Head II ---> Horror Head II
Trick Staff ---> Treat Staff
Trick Staff II ---> Treat Staff II
If your wearing an item you cannot receive any item similar to it except for it's pair. For example If you wear a Pumpkin Head, you cannot receive a Pumpkin Head II or a Horror Head II. Also you cannot receive any similar item if your wearing the second pair item. So you cannot receive any type of head item if your wearing a Horror Head or a Horror Head II. This works the same for the staffs.
Once you receive the second item, switch to another npc and use your first item again to get another item using the list above to receive whichever item you want.

For HQ Pitchfork
you need to have obtained the Pitchfork first. After obtaining it, go a different nation then where you obtained your Pitchfork. Do the event the same way you would for the regular Pitchfork, except this time you need to trade with the npc that turns you into the beastman that apposes your nation. Sandoria- Orc, Bastok- Quadav, Windhurst- Yagudo. When you trade with this npc, you will turned into a goblin. Once both your members have the goblin costume on, walk under the Bomb Decoration like you normally would and you will receive your Pitchfork +1.

To start this event for Windurst Water you will need to first goto F-5 and talk to a npc called Roger, he will explane to you that he needs your help to capture them.
You job is to get into a costum and follow these ghost witches around till you here them wisper somthing to you, but be warned, if there find out your not a monster there will see though your decise and you will need to get another costume to carry on.
Ok I've got my witch hat.
This is what you do.
Talk to the NPC in one of the citys.
Gertrude (D-8) Northen San d'Oria
Brian (G-8) Bastok Markets
Roger (F-5) Windurst Water
Once you talk to them and say yes to helping them out, just get a custom from a npc by trading a sweet.
Now follow one of the witches around till she tills you everything and tells you to begon I've told you enough.
Once thats happen, then go back to the npc and talk to him for your reward.
If there see though your desicise or you get caught out then simpley get another costume and start again with follow the witch till she tells you everything.
As like last year trading sweets to npc in costume will do one of two things.
1. It will change you in to a monster.
2. It will give you an event item like a treck staff.

Lanterns





Brought this over from
http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/forum.htm...07022269731234

[zagex]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

If you wear the HQ hat, you can buy the lanterns from the moogles. NQ hat lets you buy only 1, my friend said. No hat only lets you buy the jack o lantern. Standing under the decorations seems to be the same as last year, my friend and I got our NQ pitchforks again (we both tossed them for space) just to store them at the event NPC.
Redoing the ghost event gives you fireworks (I got the butterfly wings)

[kiffkin]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

-Only one item per day
-Only able to trade one kind of sweet per day aswell

Jusy to clarify, you can trade mulitiple sweets on the same day, as long as they're different. Handy in case you get an item on your first go.

Btw, thanks to Thott for clearing so many nubs in North Sandy - he did a magnificent job (and helped me sell more cookies as people realised they needed costumes) . Just wish my hat fitted...

[Thott]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

ok Updated again :D
hope this helps everyone out

[Thott]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

updated again >.>; I know people are using this... reply lol

[Raydeus]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

Nice work, I don't think I'll get anything because I just don't like the prizes (one of the reasons I've skipped the event for the past 2 years).

But it's a nice guide.

[Nakti]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

Thanks, Thott! I had no idea there were lantern furnishings available. Now I'm even more excited to get the HQ witch hat.

I got my NQ witch hat by trading Ginger Cookies for costumes. I needed 2 costumes to see Selma's full spiel. I wonder if using the Costume Belts would also work.

I didn't get caught by Selma, but a couple of times I could swear she was staring straight at me. Could it be a matter of proximity as well as line of sight? I stood somewhat far away.

Theres a trick staff II that has some warp capability.

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

Theres a trick staff II that has some warp capability.

got one by randomly trading an apple pie to a ghost. o.O

[Raydeus]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

Yep, the warp staff is kinda nice, but I'm usually /BLM while questing or carry at least 2 warp cudgels when I'm not subbing /BLM so I'd rarely use it.

[Franglais]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

So are you unable to get anything if you are alone? It is impossible to get a group in this game, let alone get someone to help you obtain items...

[neighbortaru]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

hats and lanterns are obtainable solo. the pitchforks will require a buddy.

[Hantz]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

Loving those lanterns. Can't decide which is my favorite; the bomb or the mandy.

What is that winged, gold headstone thing he's got there?

[Franglais]

Re: The Harvest Festival(HOW TO)

Thank you for that. I am really getting confused by the guide.

Could anybody tell me where one can purchase sweets, (ginger biscuits, goblin choccies, apple pies etc), in Bastok please?
