breeding pumpkins problem

Perhaps you had bred them a short time ago? Could you link one of them, please?

They have no child entries. I also think, it should be a glitch.

I just checked to see if I had the same problem and when I try to breed a regular pumpkin it only shows the Jack-o-Lanterns as possible mates, and when I try to breed a Jack-o-Lantern it only shows regular pumpkins as mates.

So I hope it's a glitch, cause I've been hoarding pumpkins for Halloween and it would be a let down if it wasn't

BTW I accidentally bred one just now XD and one of the parent is a Jack-o-Lantern so if you want it try this;

Gone, Got a home!

Yeah, so is it, Elery, now I've checked. Here it shows the same. It's a glitch.

I didn't even know we could breed them yet. Aren't they supposed to be a seasonal type thing?

Yes, they should be able to give some Jack-o-Lantern seeds once the Halloween event starts.
But you can still breed them all year round, only you will get regular pumpkin seed. Like the derp moment I had a few hours ago

I wonder...will we be able to breed the regular pumpkins with the Jack-o-lanterns? I think its been so long since a holiday that I've quite forgotten how things work!

Yes, it is, and we know, truelinor. We have written it in the wiki in Breeding-theme.

I've seen, Bludragon. The glitch is fixed. Show at again. You should can breed.

Yes. Last year it was so. By breeding regular pumpkins there was a small probability. I think, it will be the same again... Now I'm confused. Why is it so? We can catch the right seeds in the wild garden. So I do not breed for only a small probability... *hmmm*

If I remember correctly, you have to breed the pumpkins to get Jack-o-Lanterns from previous years and the new seeds are found in the wild garden.
At least that's what I remember x_o might be wrong.

Quote from Bludragon

do the jack-o-lantern seeds look different?

Yes!
This is a regular pumpkin seed
and this is a Jack-o-Lantern seed

I'm so glad this thread exists. I was also reading about breeding pumpkins to get jack-o-lanterns, but I also looked at a bunch of gardens and saw jack-o-lanterns grown from wild seeds.
What I'm mostly hoping is that since this is my first halloween playing, that I can get 3 Jack-o-lantern seeds, grow them into saplings, then grab three stump seeds.

I mean, I still wanna keep them as saplings like I'm doing with everything else, but I wanna do something crazy next year...
Get a jack-o-lantern from this year and let it become a sapling.
Get a jack-o-lantern from next year and let it become a sapling.
Turn both into adults on the same day, and breed them.

Might be an interesting lineage when I get the chance to make seeds 2 years from now, if anyone looks at that stuff. "Wait, this thing's parent was a sapling for a year?"

I do hope we at least get some Jack-o-Lanterns this year.
The artists and mods seem to be busy with real life so I'm a bit worried
