How to get it
- • Available in shop rotations at 220 Shillings per seed — the entry point to the Rare tier. Make sure your bankroll can handle the cost without stalling subsequent purchases.
- • Compare against Grape (170 Shillings, Uncommon) before buying. The 50-Shilling price jump needs to be worth the tier upgrade for your current cash flow.
Best strategy
- • Pumpkin is the direct single-harvest upgrade from Peach (232 base, 150 seed). The 108-Shilling value jump costs 70 more per seed, giving Pumpkin a stronger ROI per Shilling invested once you can sustain Rare seed costs.
- • If you prefer repeat harvests, compare Plum (448 base, 280 seed) as the Rare alternative. Plum earns more per cycle but costs 60 more per seed — Pumpkin is the cheaper Rare entry point.
