WHERE & HOW TO FARM

Where to farm

Maskwell’s seasonal exchange in Haven Town Square.

Harvest Prize Boxes are one way to use the candy earned during Dark Harvest. This is an exchange goal, not a separate drop farm: collect candy from the Punkin King, then decide whether a box or a directly listed mask better fits your collection. Maskwell’s seasonal stock is in Haven Town Square. The stated 2026 event closes November 1, while the token exchange remains through November 8. Contents and current costs should be checked in the exchange itself; do not assume a box grants a particular item.

GET STARTED

How to farm

Before you go

  • Earn candy during the active Dark Harvest event.
  • Have access to Haven Town Square and Maskwell.
  • Check the current token cost and decide whether a box or named mask is the priority.
  1. Farm candy through The Dark Harvest mission when it appears, or collect it from another Punkin King encounter during the event.
  2. Return to Haven Town Square and open Maskwell’s exchange.
  3. Review the listed Harvest Prize Boxes and named masks available to your character.
  4. Compare each visible cost with your candy balance and decide how much to reserve for a direct purchase.
  5. Exchange the intended number of tokens for boxes or the selected mask.
  6. Open or claim the purchased reward through the game’s normal inventory flow and verify what you received.
  7. Keep unspent candy until the exchange deadline if you plan another encounter or purchase.

Farming tips

  • A named mask purchase is the predictable choice when it is listed and is your main goal; box contents can vary.
  • The vendor’s stated closing date is later than the event end, so use the remaining exchange period to spend saved candy.

Repeat, collect and use

Repeat the exchange as often as your candy balance and Maskwell’s listed stock permit. The seasonal vendor is limited; it is not an evergreen currency loop.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a prize box contains a particular cosmetic can create a mismatch with your goal; treat box contents as variable.
  • Spending the entire balance on boxes may prevent a direct mask purchase; reserve candy after checking the catalog.
  • Assuming token exchange ends November 1 can prompt unnecessary early spending; the stated 2026 vendor window extends to November 8, subject to current availability.

When to stop or switch

Stop exchanging when you obtain the intended item or have used the candy you are willing to spend. Switch back to the Punkin King route only if the vendor is still open and you need more tokens.
