Jack-o'-Lantern  

this is great food for most melee until 30 or can afford sushi =P they would be even better if they stacked ><

Added guild and guild level.

i really dont want to read all this, but I noticed that the -Chr really hurt Dancing Edge. Also, Its basically a Scorpion Harness for all levels. :3

I personally think this is great food for Monks at lower levels. Obviously once you're a certain level % acc up would make more sense, which is why you eat sushi. I have gotten my Monk to 31 so far and I've always used this in parties. The accuracy obviously helps mnk in one of the best ways possible while the evasion helps since sometimes mnk's have a problem with hate because of their damage and WS's like Combo. It makes a pretty big difference, but I can't imagine using it much past 40. IMO, that's wehen you should start using sushi.

im a lvl 69 thf in alexander, im not gonna lie. i ALWAYS use this food for soloing. this +10 evasion its veryyyy useful. to the lvl 55 thf who posted and says he uses this for EXP pts, use squid sushi instead. at youre lvl, +14% acc will be more than just +10, not to mention the DEX and AGI stats ^^. also, dancing edge, which ur not that far away from, has a CHR base in it. but when u get to 65 and start to solo, definately use this food! +10 evasion can make the differnce from being able to solo a EM and a T or even VT if u got the skills.

I've been using these with my DRK since about 23-24 (now at 27) and the improved accuracy and evasion are certainly quite helpful. Also, I could swear that extra dark element is helping to either resist Mandragora's Dream Flower entirely (as I was a number of times last night while exping in Kazham) or lower the sleep duration.

I can make 'em reasonably cheap with my cooking mule too, even despite the rediculous Beeswax inflation on Phoenix >_>

Nevermind. I stand corrected.

No need to rate me down and make me feel stupid for not knowing though.

But thanks for the reply.

All u peeps that can get jacks cheap r lucky! I use them to lvl DRK and it is the best food...wish Fairy peeps would sell em fo less. 5-6K per jack, but still worth it if u want to help ur party most (betta tp gain cuz mo hits too). I was in pt today with SAM and was gaining tp faster than he at times. As if they needed anotha plus the -CHR allows for u to use last resort + SE without drawing aggro (less u got bunk tank).

enough salivating ova jacks...if u got em I'll eat em!

I'm a 66 Drk and I gotta say this is the most worthless food I have ever eaten. +10 Accuracy my a$$. I have never missed so much in my entire career. Sole Sushi +1 or bust, buddy. Let's not even mention the low damage. Oh wait...I just mentioned it.

oops, Can you HQ these? what are they if you can

Worth 200 GP. Limit is 2720.

These also have the effect of giving you "Undead Killer" trait, as you intimidate undead while having eaten one.

Also, not that I can confirm this, but I think they also increase ranged accuracy, as I missed alot less with ranged attacks when eating them.

These last for 3 hours, not 60 minutes. They're the only thing I eat as DRK.

i'm still getting skill up's at 36!

If anything, the -10 will INCREASE hate. You are now hitting the mob less charasmatically, causing more hate. Befoer the wars/pld/nin come in and call me a dumbass because their AF gets +CHR, please remember that provoke is different than attacking. If you provoke a mob with +Chr you are essentially charasmatically telling the mob to pay attention to you. Anyway...

The real reason that I am posting here is because I too popped on of these and it lasted for 3 hours. I'm curious what other stats were changed with this.

sorry, don't think charisma lowers hate...

ok, because of my RL schedual, I'm stuck playing about 2am on up...getting an english party is very hard for me because of this fact. Anyways, about a week ago, i got on as a L24 warrior/12 monk in the first jungle...the leve; group was 25-27 before i showed up. I offered to leave when i saw the level gap, but the said they didn't mind, and i was getting pretty desperate for xp.

Anyways, I was shunted of to the side as a minor DD, as there was already a warrior in the group. War, monk, whm, blm, drk, and me. I went through the first fight, really being an XP leech, which i hated. I had just gotten 2 of these pumpkins, and decided to test one out. Long story short, I became the new tank after one fight-I was getting missed more than the other warrior {he was an elvaan, I was a mithra}, plus my parrying skill was up high already from thief and red mage. Add the +5 acc bonus that my Gaxe {neckhopper} gave me, I was smacking things with +15 acc, and parrying/evading more times per fight then i can remember. Long story short...no one buy these, cause i don't want the price to skyrocket ^^

Here's my random suspicion. I was trading in Saruta Oranges moving between npcs and zoning once I'd hit all of them in the zone. Then zoning back in and starting all over again. Well, time went by and I had gotten one or two of these and that was all after going through 3 stacks of oranges. Then, being randomly curious and more than a little bored, I used this item on myself. At first all I saw was the -10 CHR (booo!) but then I noticed that my odds of getting items from the NPCs during the halloween events increased significantly. I had gotten 6 more of these, 1 Trick Staff, 1 Pumpkin Head, and 1 Pumpkin Head II in 2 more stacks of Saruta Oranges. This could be just random luck, but it could also mean that your odds of getting stuff from the NPCs is directly related to your CHR. That's my random suspicion anyways.

I am still getting .1 skillups at lvl 36 cooking with this recipe.

I'm actually gonna use these to level up my WAR. I need it to 27 for a sub and eating these will make it much easier on my pt for so many reasons. And keeping hate will be a synch with a Great Axe and very few misses^^. Thank goodness I can cook them with ease.

Plus they are 1 hour food, meaning I can make 12 and have them last a very long time.

Galka DRK 42/WAR21. Ate one of these last night and partied in Gustav Tunnel. The difference was Hitting 5-6 times out of 8 versus 3/8.

When the beastmen are in control of Elshimo (which is almost always the case :|) you can buy Ogre pumpkins from a child mithra under the Ru'Lude Gardens AH in Jeuno. As you're going to the AH make a left and take the stairs that lead down below. BTW when a nation has control of the Elshimo Lowlands, this mithra will not sell these. You'll have to buy your Ogre Pumpkins from the Regional vendoer of the nation that controls Elshimo Lowlands at the time.

Hope this helps ^^

Yes I have done the mob check test, and I can say for sure this food gives you an ACC bonus. Since the guide is the only source that has said this, I'm pretty sure they're also right on the amount of ACC it gives you (+10).

BTW leveling cooking to 35 isn't as hard or as expensive as you might think. 75K can get you to that lvl. If you're intersted in this pumpkin, lvling cooking is probably the best way to get it.
