WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

The Dark Harvest prestige mission in the Clockworks event rotation; Maskwell is in Haven Town Square.

The Dark Harvest is the focused seasonal route for players who want the festival encounter and its candy rewards. The mission is part of the daily prestige rotation, so check the live listing before making a gate plan. Candy can be saved for Maskwell’s seasonal exchange in Haven Town Square. The event and vendor have separate end dates: the event runs through November 1, while tokens and Maskwell remain available through November 8. Treat those dates as the stated 2026 window and verify the in-game availability before spending a final session on the event.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Play during the 2026 Dark Harvest availability window.
  • Have access to the prestige mission listing and enough equipment for its displayed rank.
  • Decide whether candy is being saved for masks or prize boxes.
  1. Open the mission interface and inspect the current prestige listings.
  2. Select The Dark Harvest if it is available; confirm the mission details before entering.
  3. Progress through the mission, clearing its encounters rather than leaving before the objective is complete.
  4. Fight the Punkin King when the mission reaches that encounter.
  5. Collect the candy and mission rewards after the fight.
  6. Return to Haven and check Maskwell’s current exchange before committing the tokens.
  7. If you are saving for a particular item, compare your balance with the listed cost and retain the remainder until the exchange closes.

Farming tips

  • The announcement gives November 1 as the event end and November 8 as the token/vendor end; plan around the earlier date for runs and the later date for spending.
  • The Punkin King may appear in Clockworks outside the daily prestige mission, but the daily mission is the named, structured route.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat while The Dark Harvest remains in the live prestige rotation and the event is active. The seasonal exchange is limited to its stated availability window; this is not a permanent farm.

Common mistakes

  • Entering before checking the listing can waste a trip if the daily mission has rotated; confirm The Dark Harvest is actually selectable.
  • Spending candy as soon as it drops can leave too little for a preferred mask or box; check Maskwell’s current costs first.
  • Assuming the vendor closes with the event can lead to rushed spending; the stated token window extends to November 8, subject to live availability.

When to stop or switch

Stop when you have enough candy for your chosen exchange, or when the mission is no longer available. Switch to another prestige objective if The Dark Harvest is absent.
