• Some rewards include Candy Corn, Gummy Ghouls, Gummy Golems, Chocolate Gromnies, Licorice Rats, Rock Candy Knaths, Caramel Kukuurs, Floating Candles and a Festival Shirt.
• Originally, the Pumpkin Buffer casted level II spells and then level 7 spells, until it was updated once more to cast levels 8s during the Hopes and Fears event.

The Pumpkin Buffer bursts open spraying treats.

Items dropped

Special Candy

(Note, when the Buffer spawned at the end of the Risks and Rewards patch in 2008, some of the candy got an expiring date of 30 days. This seems to be corrected when the next patch Seeds of Corruption went live, however items picked up since are non-stackable. Old Candy keeps it non-expiring and/or stackable properties.)
