Pumpkins.... not just for making pie?

[Lorelei]

I've been away from UO for awhile now, and am just making my way back in.

I have a bunch of the pumpkins from when they spawned during the Halloween event. Are these worth anything?

Anything I should watch for before tossing them?

Sometimes people will pay alil something for pumpkins with rare or interesting names, especially if they're black, but I don't generally see these sell for much.

But they could be worth something to the right person.

A set of these pumpkins would probably be worth something, as they were introducted later in the 2006 halloween season, so not too many people finished a set: Da Rk Ch Aos Aw Ai Ts

As you can see, the set spells out "Dark Chaos Awaits."

I don't think this set would need to be black.

I have sold a few of the regular 2006 black pumpkin names for about 100k each but it took a while!

 

[Lorelei]

thanks! I'll check out the names on the ones I have. Unfortunately, most are orange pumpkins. But, maybe I have the special letters!

I happen to egt a full set of both years.. I did miss 1 pumkin from the 2006 the Ai's pumpkin.. But whenn they had the next pumpkin's spawn I made a char with the name Ai. And that finished off my set..

 

[Lorelei]

Both Years?? How do I know which is which?

If the pumpkin is *not* on the below list, it would be from 2007, when folks could have a pumpkin in any name they have a character for.
