When do Zilloween badges count?

Just on the game day of Zilloween? Or how far ahead of that day?

  • I always wanted to know! I can be your guinea pig if you want.

  • Last time it seemed like at most 2 real life days prior with it ending on the 37th of Remember (based on Glitch calendar).

  • I always thought you could start earning towards badges as long as pumpkin planting was in season.

  • yeah but its a bit of a pain to have to go and check to see if you can buy pumpkin seeds from the vendor, not knowing if the season has started yet.    Wish we could get some staff input on this.

  • If you keep a pack of pumpkin seeds in your inventory, you can go to your own garden patch and see if you can plant them and that will tell you also.

  • @MaryLiLamb - Exactly!  This is actually what I meant about seeing is pumpkin planting is in season :P

  • You can just pack a pumpkin with you (they're on the AH frequently if you don't have one) and if you can carve it, badges are counting. There was a thread last Zilloween where someone knew the exact lead time but I couldn't find it.

  • You could also carry a pumpkin with you or have it in your house... if you can carve it, it's Zilloween season.

    Durrr... just like the person before me said!

  • 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.)

  • So this one will be from Thurs March 1st 1am US/Pacific (9am UTC) through Sat Mar 3rd 5am Pacific (1pm UTC) if I'm reading the calendar right.

  • Be nice if there was some kind of flag on the page header that said zilloween stuff was active.

  • Considering they plan to add stuff in for the other holidays, that might start to get a bit irritating after awhile.  Worth trying though.   

    What I'd really like is to be able to click Zilloween or hover my mouse over it in the calendar and see the game dates it runs for.  That would be nice.
