Fall Halloween Update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons has finally arrived, and many of the new features can now be enjoyed throughout the month of October! The exact method of accessing all of the new experiences in Animal Crossing updates can be a little confusing at times, which is why we've written this article to walk you through everything that's new in detail. Please keep in mind that this article is written for casual Animal Crossing players who do not have access to time travel and are only experiencing the new update today. If you've already been tinkering with the update for an extended period of time, it's possible that it's not for you.
Learn How to Begin Growing and Farming Pumpkins Today!
Real-time players will be able to grow pumpkins in October, which is perhaps the most notable feature of the most recent update for most fans: the ability to grow pumpkins! Halloween Update: Here's a basic summary of the most important points to remember about growing and harvesting pumpkins in the Fall. Pumpkin Starts can be purchased from Nook's Cranny during the month of October, but if you can track down Leif, he will sell them to you for half the price. Pumpkin seeds can be planted anywhere other than on the beach, including next to each other in close proximity. Pumpkins grow in four days, starting from the day they are planted and ending on the day they are ready to harvest. Water them once a day to ensure that you get the most out of your harvest and that you get three pumpkins from a single plant. Pumpkins can be grown in four different colors, but Pumpkin Starts produce a variety of colors at random. Orange pumpkins are by far the most common type of pumpkin to grow, with green, yellow, and white varieties being relatively uncommon. Do you have a specific color in mind? Shovel in a harvested Pumpkin of your desired color to ensure that it produces more of the same type in future.
Purchase or make new spooky set furniture and accessories.
Speaking of the Spooky Set, the latest Halloween Update for Animal Crossing: New Horizons contains a total of 17 different Spooky furniture and items, which can be found in total. These new items are primarily divided into two categories: some can be crafted and purchased right away, while others will only be available during the Halloween Event with Jack on October 31st. In addition to being available for purchase in a corner of an upgraded Nook's Cranny store, the following Spooky Set items can be made using DIY Crafting Recipes that can be found in both balloon presents and villagers crafting in their residences:So, as you can see, there are numerous options for getting your hands on the items from the Spooky Collection. If the Orange Pumpkins are purchased from Nook's Cranny, no crafting is required; however, if you're following a recipe, some Orange Pumpkins grown from farming will be required.
Colored Pumpkins Can Be Used To Personalize Spooky Set Furniture
All of the Spooky Set items we just discussed are available in an orange color scheme by default, but there are three additional color options available for most furniture pieces! To change the color of a Spooky Set furniture piece, you'll need to grow and harvest pumpkins of the desired color and then use a DIY Workbench to make the necessary modifications. You will be able to enjoy the fun new Halloween furniture in three different color schemes: green, yellow, and white.
Nook's Cranny is the place to go for Halloween candy.
It is possible to begin collecting Candy for use in the big Halloween Night event on October 31st throughout the entire month of October, which will last the entire month of October. A single piece of Halloween Candy can be purchased inside the cabinet at Nook's Cranny for 120 Bells per piece, but you are only allowed to purchase one piece per day. We recommend that you pick one up every day until Halloween until you have finished your collection. On October 31st, when the Halloween event begins in the evening, you will be able to participate in Trick or Treat with your villagers and Jack the Pumpkin Czar for the chance to win special Free Animal Crossing Items. Obviously, the more Candy, the merrier! Lollipops have also been added to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, but they will not be available for collection until the evening of October 31st for the Halloween Event with Jack, according to what we know at this time.
