The true duration of Zilloween?

I've been playing since September, but this is the first time I've been able to play during Zilloween (at least that I'm aware of). It's a little confusing though... it's only one day on the calendar, but it's obviously around for more than those 4 hours.

When does it officially start, and when does it officially end? I notice this morning that I can no longer plant pumpkin seeds, but I can still make the Zilloween recipes like birch candy and carob-ish treats. I thought these things all required ZIlloween, but maybe I just don't understand the fine print =)

An Encyclopedia entry with the specifics, along with how many Glitchen days it extends before/after the 37th of Remember would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

  • It starts on the 25th of Remember and ends the 37th of remember. You can still make most (all?) of the treats at any time, the badges are just not in effect. SO eat candy, give it away, all of that, but it won't count toward the badge until next Zilloween.

    "Well, I'm not making any promises that this won't change in the future, but currently the Zilloween season runs from the 25th through the 37th of the month of Remember.
    (For those not aware of this, you can see the in-game calendar by clicking the date at the top right of your screen and then clicking on calendar.)

  • I believe it starts the 25th of Remember and I know it continues till the 37th of Remember (Duh! :).  The rules for Zille-O-Ween are as follows:

    --You can only plant Pumpkins during the Zilloween time period
    --You can only Carve pumpkins during the Zilleoween time period
    --You CAN make any food related item ANYTIME during the year (Glitch year that is)
    --The problem with the above reason is that all of the recipes either requires 'Roasted Pepitas' or 'Pumpkins'..... both of which can ONLY be grown or obtained during Zilleoween. So therefore unless you have a stash leftover form zilleoween or just a few extras then you can make the recipes all year long :P
    --You can only obtain the candy related achievements on Zilleoween
    --Most people use Zille-o-ween as a time to collect Roasted Pepitas and make TONS of candy to last them until next Zille-O-Ween (which is about 1 month and 18 Days away)

    HOPE THIS HELPED :P

  • one thing I want to know is can we get pumpkin seeds any other way than from the vendor? I don't want to feed my pig and then end up with nothing. I've saved up some pumpkins just for this.
    aaand is the pig/feeding effected by zilloween?

  • jiva, the best way is from the vendor. Feeding a pig 3 pumpkins works, but is a waste of pumpkins, as you only get one packet of seeds, which yields only 1 pumpkin when you grow it. 

    Pig feeding is not affected by Zilloween.

    edit: Oops. It's been too long since I tested its inefficiency :P Look to Sheepy for better answers.

  • You'll actually get a packet plop for a single pumpkin, but the inefficiency remains.
